Cloud!
This place isweird boring, and Cid said you're emoing running around here somewhere.
Got any suggestions for fun things I can get up to?
And if you say 'stay out of trouble', I'm hunting you down, and then you'll be in trouble.

Welcome back, anyway. As for fun things, exploring at night can be fun depending on what one runs into. You would be wise to get some weapons, unless you plan on doing some running.
Were you sick in bed the last couple of days?
no subject
Unless you're asking me to arm myself with plastic spoons, I guess that means 'Yuffie, be creative and improvise?'? C'mon, work with me here!
... I was fighting in a war these past few days.
no subject
There are items in the Rec shed, though nothing like a giant shuriken. I only can help a little.
I ripped two from my...well, I pulled two shurikens last night. If you want them, you can have them.Against Sephiroth?
[strike-outs easily read]
no subject
Rec shed? I'll, uh, take a look. Any little helps~. I'll take 'em, but I wanna know where you got them from. Are they hira-shuriken?
What? No, against Deepground!
no subject
I think you will go there in fourth shift. It has all the supplies for team sports. I... well, I had them thrown at me. I caught them... sort of. They are shuriken, little ones... I cannot say I am completely familiar with Wutainese styles of weapondry.
The what? Are those Jenova-monsters or something?
no subject
Fourth shift? Okay! ... That means you caught it in you, doesn't it? If they're little ones and look sorta like stars, then they're hira-shuriken.
Uh, no. ShinRa's secret weapons that they locked up underneath Midgar? They're another branch of Soldier or something.
Has Cait been slipping stuff into your drinks as well as Cid's tea? How can you not know about Deepground?!
no subject
It did involve me ripping it out of my own flesh, yes. I cleaned them though. Okay, so I have two hira-shurikens for you then.
What? Why would ShinRa lock up secret weapons under Midgar? Not to keep them safe, I hope.
Last thing I remember was being blown up and dying.
no subject
... Eww, Cloud. That's totally grossness. Are the wounds all spectacularly messy? You'd better have cleaned them properly!
I don't know, and I don't want to know. I heard Reeve saying something about Rufus not even knowing about them, though... I guess that the blond snot-bag got into power too quick and the shit hit the fan before he could find out about it all.
Blo---You mean the last thing you remember was the thing with those silver-hairedinsectsSephiroth wannabes and Bahamut Sin?[[Strikeouts very nearly illegible]]
no subject
...what? I saved them for you, did I not? I bandaged them and that seemed good enough to me. They do not hurt all that much.
That sounds like something Hojo would come up with. I wish I had been there to see it. Hey, how old are you, Yuffie?
No... Sephiroth and Kadaj were gone. I was shot in the back and blown up my Loz and Yazoo with... my materia.
no subject
Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Just catch 'em normally next time, okay? Without them ending up stuck in you.
I dunno whose idea it was, but I bet'cha he was involved. The old president knew, and so did the top brass, 'cept Reeve, 'cause he was like in charge of houses or something.
... They kidnapped thousands of people and dropped them in mako. You wish you'd been there to see that?I'm 19!You mean my materia. That all happened last year!
[[Strikeouts, again, barely legible]]
no subject
I will try. Sorry if I was a little busy dodging his fireball and how well he stabbed me. I can give them to you when night comes.
Reeve does not seem the type of person to sit by and let a company do that, so it seems likely he never knew. Eh... what is under all those scribbles? I see the word 'dropped' and 'mako'.
So, you are a year ahead of my time. That is a strange feeling, being able to look at the future... you.
no subject
Whaaaat? Somebody was getting the best of you in a fight? A guy with hira-shuriken? WHAT?
He didn't have a clue until everything blew up in his face. ... Okay, fine. You wanna know? They kidnapped thousands of people and dropped them in .
... You're completely nuts, y'know that?
no subject
...you do not have to remind me. He was very strong.
I cannot say that I am surprised by that, considering what is at the Nibelheim reactor. They must have been trying to complete the research there.
...I guess that is why I am here in this institute, now is it not?
no subject
Strong enough to take you on, though?
Hey look, I'm complimenting you!That research? I dunno. They wanted to do something science-y and lifestream-related to summon the Omega Weapon.
But I'm not nuts. And it's weird, 'cause even Cid was saying weird stuff.
It's just... impossible.no subject
I do not have a proper sword to fight with. I simply do the best I can.
Never heard of Omega Weapon, but it sounds like a materia. Perhaps they hoped an aspect of the Lifestream would enter into someone's body and condense into a materia?
Cid has been here larger than I have. In some ways, I am certain I deserve to be here. I will do my best to get you guys out though.
no subject
What do you have?
Don't ask me. I just know that they were after Vince and yanked a materia out of his chest, and they're trying to kill everybody on the whole planet. Same old, same old, y'know?
Moron. I'm not leaving without you, even if I haveta drag you myself. Besides, Tifa'd eat my spleen if I just left you here to rot!
no subject
Two short-swords, a baseball bat with screws in it, a garden claw, medical supplies, a bag to carry it all in... you know, common stuff.
I was not aware Vincent was keeping materia in his chest. Sounds suspiciously like Hojo though.
As long as you guys get out, it is fine. I am not rotting... I can take care of myself.
no subject
That stuff is common? Guess I shouldn't be surprised... I mean, Reeve leaves rocket launches lying around all the time, so hey, what's a couple of swords and a garden claw in a mental hospital? Are they any good against those 'demonic animals' you mentioned?
That bit was Hojo, as far as I know. Or Lucrecia. I really don't know anymore.
I'm not leaving unless the rest of my pals come with you, and that includes you, chocobutt-head.
no subject
Everything 'normal' is provided to us during the day. I really only prepare myself for what happens when the lights go out. It means I can fight, so it helps yes.
That is not really making any sense. I am certain it would make more sense if I was alive to be there.
...name calling already. Real mature, Yuffie.
no subject
How did you get a sword in this place, though? And, back up a little here! When you said they've 'weakened our abilities', whaddya mean exactly?
You were alive to see it. Are alive to see it-- Oh my GAWD this is confusing me.
You wanna act like a stupid, I'll call you stupid names in return. Fair's fair, afterall.
no subject
I... well, I made one and the other was forged for me. I mean that I cannot even do a fraction of the things I used to. I am still strong, but nothing like before... it is as if my mako enhancements have gone away for the most part. But I heal very quickly.
Wait, so I am alive in the future but dead in the past... or present for me? So... Aerith really did send me back....
Uh... it is like camping with you sometimes.
no subject
Soooo~... How would that affect me, since I've never had any enhancements or freaky experiments done on me?
Well, we dunked you in the great big new pond that sprung up in Aerith's flower-bed, and you woke up after a little while, if that's what you mean.
Is that supposed to be an insult? >(
no subject
No idea. You will find out when put to the test. That is how I figured out that things were different. Try to do something you normally could do and see if it is different.
Ah... so I was meant to come back to life then. I remember... er it does not matter. I wish to be out of this place.
...like I could ever insult th Great Ninja Yuffie.
no subject
Well, if I'm out in the rec field during fourth shift I'll be able to test some stuff out, right? Nothing offensive, just my standard acrobatics. ♥
..? Well, lets
moseyget out of here! If you haven't managed to get out already, I guess it's gonna take some time... but we can totally do it!Ha! I can hear the sarcasm even through the paper, Cloud. You're gonna pay for that~ >)
no subject
That would be wise. You will have to let me know how it goes, as it would be useful to know everyone's limitations in this place.
Apparently the basement is the place to go in an attempt to get out. I have not been there myself yet.
...I am sure you will make an attempt, nothing more.
no subject
Gotcha~! What about the rest of Avalanche, anyways? Have they got weapons? Has the team been working together or have you been doing that annoying 'lone wolf' thing again?
I'll put it on my to-do list. Have you heard anything from anybody who has been down there? I wonder if it's as awesome as my basement!
That a challenge?
no subject
No, I have not. It is usually difficult to access and guarded by other patients or monsters, as far as I can tell. You crowned Queen of Wutai yet?
You can think what you like of it.
no subject
Hey, how 'bout we all get together sometime? It'll be like
old timesa party!Anywhere I can get more info on these 'monsters'?
Queen of Wutai? Pffft, not yet. My old man may be getting grey, but he's still got a few years left in him!
As long as he surives Deepground, anywayBesides, I've had way too much work to do. Reeve made me head of intel in the W.R.O!In that case, just remember that you brought it on yourself! ♥
no subject
Alright. Would you rather it sooner then later or meet and greet others first? I have no plans at lunch time, but if you have some, that is fine as well.
Godo may never hand it over, if you keep yourself too busy. He would have to actually like someone too, since you would have to get married to 'continue the line'. That is almost a humorous thought. Thanks for making me smile, Yuffie.
You know my memory. I do not trust it and you should not either.
no subject
I don't have any plans, but I guess I'll just see who I run into for now.
Godo can go sleep with his koi! I don't care if he likes someone or not-- not that I want to get married or anything!! GROSS. I could rule Wutai just fine on my own, thanks!
Well, in that case... Tear off the note below and put it somewhere safe, 'kay? :)
[[a line is drawn across the paper]]
[[Yuffie's name and title in Wutaian kanji]]
no subject
Well, if you see me at lunch, feel free to mosey over. I do not mind the company... the last Yuffie tackled me when she saw me, but let us not make that a trend, alright?
Ah, so his opinion on the matter does not come into play for you? Interesting... I am certain he will relish anyone you decide is worth your time.
...sometimes, I really wonder why I do this.
-paper ripped off in the appropriate place-
no subject
Y'know, it's totally weird to hear about yourself like that. TOTALLY WEIRD. Don'tcha worry, though. I might not tackle you...
He lost the right to have any say in my love-life when he started denying my existance. But, yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll relish 'em.
You do it 'cause you think I'm brilliant. ♥
no subject
Don't expect to find anything of use, however. Items there are items Landel has placed that our fake selves would have carried with them. Standard t-shirts, a few toys or books. No weapons or anything else worthwhile.
no subject
Whaddya mean by 'fake selves'? Y'mean like how they're calling me by somebody else's name?
no subject
-Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro
no subject
crazystuff about it being a different world and what Cloud's been telling me up there. [[an arrow pointing up to her conversation with Cloud]]Anything else you can tell me?
-The Great Ninja Yuffie.
[[strikeouts just legible]]
no subject
I'm guessing you're not from Earth around the year 2000, are you?
no subject
Uh, no. I'm from Gaia. Is 'Earth' where you're from?
no subject
My best advice is to not try and think too deeply on the ramifications of this knowledge. Just understand that things you say may make little to no sense to others, paricularly when you talk about locations, people, or any special powers you might have, just as if I were to reference 'Japan,' the 'Gotei 13,' or 'bankai' none of this would make any sense to you. Once we've escaped this place, then we can spend time thinking about just where we are and what we can do about it.
no subject
Well, I'm already sorta running out of ways of convincing myself that this is just some great big mass delusion. Everybody keeps telling me the same thing, and I know that at least two of those people wouldn't lie to me. Guess I'll just haveta go with the flow!
How is the whole 'escaping' business working, anyway? Everybody working together, factions, individuals, or what?
no subject
There are many small factions who do not advertise themselves nor actively seek new members. These factions may assist one another from time to time but, for the most part, are self-sustaining. Sometimes they will spread information to the boards here to help everyone, but often such information gets held as a bartering tool.
There is a fairly stable organization dedicated to the tending of injuries called the St. Francis Aid Club. Tamaki is the leader of this organization if you feel your skills are suited towards the healing arts.
Outside of that, you have three large groups that are dedicated to the common good. While each is autonomous, we do work together and share information equally. You have the Arts and Crafts division, which is the largest but only by small margin lately, and is led by myself, Hitsugaya Toshiro. You have the History Club, led by Homura. And you have the Cooking Division, led by Colonel Roy Mustang. Each has slightly different goals, but as I mentioned before we all work together for the common good.
no subject
You're just what?The only 'world of the spirits' I know of is the Lifestream, and that's just one big gunk of consciousness and memories. Anything like your spirit world?I'm not really interested in helping out any one group exclusively, and my main loyalty is with Cloud and my other buddies from Gaia. I'd be lend a hand if I get something in return, though; is that sort of thing possible?
no subject
It would depend on the group and depend on what you were looking for in return. Arts and Crafts is generally free with information. We often post maps on the boards for others to make copies of. If you're looking for weapons, we can't supply forged weapons, but I have some scalpels available for others who need them.
Aside from the History Club, the other two organizations are relatively accepting of members who wish to work only when they have no other plans. If you wish to assist us one night, you are not obligated to work with us the next. Your only expectations are that you follow the orders of your team lead when you are working with us, and that you protect your teammates to the best of your ability. If you wish to work as a team with your friends but only want to offer your help, I can give you as a group an assignment.
Does that answer your questions?
no subject
MAPS! Oh, man. One of those'd be useful; Cloud hasn't made one, so I haven't got one either. Are those scalpels any good for throwing?
I work better in groups of three at most, and I ain't used to working with people who can't look after themselves. I'd haveta talk to the others about whether or not they'd want to ally themselves with one of the bigger groups, but I wouldn't say no to lending a hand sometimes if it's gonna further my own plans.
Yep! Thanks. :)
