[materiathief]

[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.]

Comments

[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.

[materiathief]

Really? I've gotten some good spars with people here.

[unseenspy]

Is that so? Well, good for you, I suppose.

[materiathief]

Don't need to sound annoyed by that.

[unseenspy]

It just doesn't make any difference to me.

[materiathief]

Really? Then why sound annoyed by it?

[unseenspy]

It's just the way I am.

[He's annoyed by everything.]

[materiathief]

So, you're a mini-Vincent.

[unseenspy]

...You think so?

[It may be true. It's no wonder he and Vincent got along so well.]

[materiathief]

Annoyed by everything? Yeah.

[unseenspy]

Was he really annoyed by everything? Or did certain people just bug him too much?

[materiathief]

Maybe a little of both. Never got him to smile though.

[unseenspy]

Really? What a shame.

[Smiling wasn't exactly a bad thing, but Vincent just wouldn't be Vincent if he smiled. And Jay has seen that first-hand.]

[materiathief]

It is! It was hard enought to get a 'heh' out of him.

[She just wanted to see if the world would explode when he smiled.]
