Enthusiasm. Look it up in a dictionary sometime, 'kay? :) Just how dangerous is this place? I had some grouchy guy telling me to stay in my room earlier.. the nerve!!

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?

...thanks, as usual. Even if you know how to fight, it can be tough. A lot of demonic animals or sometimes they brainwash other patients. You will find that your abilities diminished here, and you will have trouble doing things. They have weakened us all... unless you are brainwashed, then it appears they let you have everything back and you beat up other patients. Not sure if they kill them though.

...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?

You're welcome! ♥ Um, demonic animals? Like those evil little Touch Me frogs? How're they diminishing people's abilities? Drugs or something? Are they doing this for fun, or do they have a reason? Are they like Hojo, and if they are, do we get to smack 'em a lot like he did him?

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.~~

I do not know, but I know everyone complains about the loss of strengths they had. As for Hojo, I have not seen him around. Violence during the day is severely frowned upon; I would not advise it unless absolutely necessary.

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.

Guess I'll have to look into it, then. Yuffie Kisaragi, on the case! I noticed that, though. About the violence, I mean.

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!

Yeah... if you become violent with a nurse or another patient, you will be sedated and put in your room. Be careful not to get to that point.

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.

How come that guy I was with at breakfast didn't get sedated, then? :(

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.

Did he hit you or something?

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.

Well... no, not exactly. But I think he wanted to hit me with the table!

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.

Well, if he did not actually get violent or scream loudly at you, I doubt a nurse would get involved. Fists would have to be exchanged for that... and they usually tell you to stop first.

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.

Well, he kept yelling and slamming his fist into the table. Totally grouchy-- hey, maybe you know him! He's... uh, really tall, black hair, red eyes, probably couldn't smile even if you paid him to?

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? >(

...I do not think I know him. If you do not like him, I would just stay away from him. There are plenty of patients to interact with.

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.

I'm not done with him yet, though!

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 ~~mosey~~ get 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~ >)

Are you really going for revenge on the first person you meet?

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.

Maybe.

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?

As far as I can tell, I am the best equipt out of our group. Usually we share my weapons when together, but I do make use of them when alone. We work together when we can... but last night I was on my own.

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.

Cid said that Reno is here. What's up with that? We allied, or..?

Hey, how 'bout we all get together sometime? It'll be like ~~old times~~ a 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, anyway~~ Besides, 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! ♥

Yeah, and I think I saw him and Rude together last night. Sort of allied... we are not enemies but it is not as if we have the warm-fuzzies either.

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.

Did... did you just say warm-fuzzies? HAHA. Cute.

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]]

...yeah, yeah I did.

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-

I'm making a note of it. I'm making a note of it so I can tell Marlene and Denzel when we get home.

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. ♥
