hey i have something from home. i want to know what everyone thinks! it's one of my favorites

[There's a couple of seconds where nothing is heard. But suddenly, without warning, a rather distinctive song begins to play:

yes it's the gold saucer music

And no, it's not stopping. Not for a good ten minutes or so. Probably best to just cut the feed two minutes in... or sit and listen. Maybe there's a prize at the end for listening to a 10 minute loop.

There is not.

And yes, a certain someone just acquired a Birdbox from the shop and decided to put it to good use. You know, sharing culture from your home world and all that good stuff. He might also be trying to see if anyone recognizes the music, just to take note who else is from Gaia.]

[Hey hey his username speaks of truth! Shitbirds are everywhere.]

More like a reference to your username, it's very...restrained...actually it's not creative at all, let's be real.

[supersoldier]

[Is that right. Interesting.]

And what makes you think that?

[hotshock]

Your user name is your name?

[If he were speaking this it would be so deadpan. Like it's obvious right?]

[supersoldier]

[Obvious, maybe, to someone from Gaia who knows the name as synonymous to… well, probably many things.

But he’s learnt during his time here that the name “Sephiroth” is as uniquely singular as it is on his Planet, too. That it's recognized as a name at all is notable.

And so—]

Who is this?

[hotshock]

Oh, you know, just a secret admirer, a scattered lonely heart concerned about the lack of fun in your life.

[He's not ready to out himself just yet, that sword is sharp and pointy.]

[supersoldier]

[At least Sephiroth is adept in the art of discarding everything useless from a conversation, which is unfortunately all of Reno’s reply.]

From Gaia, then, if your recognize my username as my actual name.

Again— who is this?

[hotshock]

[Rude, Sephiroth, shockingly rude.]

Yeah, we're from the same world.

I'm deciding whether or not I should drop that piece of information, it really depends where you are in the timeline. There's a timeline apparently.

[supersoldier]

I'm very much aware that's the case.

Why does timeline matter? Is there an answer you're afraid of?

[He well knows the answer to this now. He's simply being nebulously difficult.]

[hotshock]

Not to snap bubble gum and crack wise, but I would rather know what sort of crazy I'm dealing with.

Are you the megalomaniac with a mommy complex Sephiroth or are you the Sephiroth that's still above it all but you'd tie him to a bedpost anyway?

[supersoldier]

[Suddenly this conversation is a lot more relevant.]

Tell me who you are and you'll earn that answer.

[hotshock]

Witholding information to gain information. They put you in the wrong line of work, kind of a waste.

I could just keep watching you...that could be fun.

[supersoldier]

And I could not provide you with the information you seek, either, and leave you wondering whether or not you should be concerned about my blade in your back.

Is that not incentive enough?

[hotshock]

I'm more of a blade in your back kinda guy...but wait, that's not the innuendo we're going for here is it?

I'm not too concerned to be honest, if you're who I think you are you'll either meet expectations or subvert expectations.

Though I could be motivated into coming out into the light.

[supersoldier]

And I’ll save you the trouble. I’m not in the mood to humor you any more than necessary.

This conversation is over. You can learn the truth on your own time.

[hotshock]

I think that suits both our agendas SOLDIER.
