[Yuffie is a very unhappy camper today. Today she went to check on a friend to see if he was still alive, but instead she found herself an empty place. Of course she could be sad he's gone, or happy he's back home, but Yuffie isn't the one to have normal reactions, instead the first thing the journal picks up is the sound of a kick, and not just any kind of kick. It's the kind of kick where it sounds more like it hurt the person than the wall. Especially with the loudest, longest scream of OOOOWWWW that she can manage.

Once she's finished hopping off the pain, she'll finally talk, but she sounds pretty peeved.]

Looks like I'm the only one left from my world, for the probably small amount of people that actually knew Vincent Valentine, he's gone...

Now what do I do?...He didn't even leave a note! I would've only expected a few words, but c'mon. He could've left something...

[No, she's not very happy he's gone. She really did like him around, so she keeps looking around just in case he hid something. Eventually she just gives it up, kicking the floor (with her non pained leg) and only noticing what it is before the thing flies out the window. Then it doesn't take long before Yuffies follows the object outside, jumping right through a window...from the fifth floor.]

[Well, Jay was about to chastise her for that annoying scream. Honestly, can people scream in pain any louder over the journals?]

[But then the announcement of Vincent's departure registers, and Jay is just...stunned.]

Vincent...he's gone? Really?

[It just can't be. Vincent's been here as long as Jay has, if not longer. They hadn't spoken often (or as often as Jay would have liked), but Vincent had been a constant presence in Luceti for him. To think that Vincent was actually gone was...unbelievable.]

[materiathief]

Yeah, not something I'd lie about.

[unseenspy]

I see...

[He just has...no words. So just cue mouth hanging open for a moment or two, struggling to accept the reality...]

[materiathief]

So you knew him?

[Might as well get to know the people he did, she he never told her.]

[unseenspy]

...Yes, I knew him. He's been here for about as long as I have...which feels like forever.

[materiathief]

How long is that? He never told me, he just said it was too long.

[unseenspy]

It's been more than three years...

[materiathief]

Geez, that really is a long time.

[She'd ask how anyone could stay sane here for that long, but...it's Vincent.]

[unseenspy]

[Jay and Vincent helped to keep each other sane.]

Yes...too long.

[materiathief]

What is there to do for three years?

[unseenspy]

Wait for the experiments, wait for opportunities to oppose the Malnosso or the Third Party. Just...wait.

Although the Battle Dome is one of the better things that have appeared here.

[materiathief]

Well...he's very good at waiting.

Really? Fighting in there isn't the same as real fighting.

[unseenspy]

No...but it's better than nothing. It still helps me sharpen my skills, better than the people here can.

[windandrain]

[Saori is already heading out the door and towards Yuffie's place, worry for her friend overtaking her. She'd known Vincent, and she knew that 'Vinny' was important to Yuffie. And that scream...]

Yuffie, I'm coming. Are you alright?

[Voice/Action]

[materiathief]

I'm fine!

[Not really. That kick made sure a door wouldn't be able to close all the way. Hope she catches Yuffie before she's out the window!]

[Voice/Action]

[windandrain]

No you're not!

[She does! Yuffie hits a gushy blob of air on her way down!]

[Action]

[materiathief]

[And at that, Yuffie just...doesn't move. It was not the landing she was expecting, and it's quite confusing.]

[Action]

[windandrain]

[It'll gradually lower her to the ground]

Yuffie, don't do that. That'll hurt.

[Action]

[materiathief]

[Once she's on the ground, don't mind her looking around.]

A fall from that height is no big dea.

[Action]

[windandrain]

But you already hurt your foot.

[She runs the rest of the way over]

Yuffie...I'm sorry. About Vincent.

[Action]

[materiathief]

Leg. And that doesn't stop me from landing on my feet. [It would've just hurt a bit.]

He's back where he should be.

[Action]

[windandrain]

Yuffie...don't do that.

[She's already giving you a big hug.]

He is, but that doesn't mean you can't be sad.

[Action]

[materiathief]

[She won't hug back, but she's holding onto part of Saori's clothes pretty tightly.]

Of course I'm sad, Kicking the doorway just seemed better than crying.

[Action]

[windandrain]

[That's okay]

Yuffie. Sometimes it's okay to cry.

[She smooths the girl's hair and looks at her]

Really, it is.

[Action]

[materiathief]

This isn't something to cry about.

[She just looks down, Vincent would never let her hear the end of it if he knew, and she stopped crying a long time ago.]
