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.]

[ She can't help but laugh even if he can't hear it. After a few morose days, this is actually refreshing, so she plays along.. ]

How sweet! Are you always this charming with princesses, Lieutenant Mutten?

[ It's hard for her to drop the honorifics. ]

Forgive me— It's very intimate to call someone by their given name.
I'll try, though.
What is your world like? If it has such cheerful music, it must be very well-lead.

[ruinedempire]

heh heh, well, to tell ya the truth, i've never met one! but this is how i'd definitely treat one!

that's okay, we can work up to that. :)

my world is pretty great! i mean besides the gold saucer, there's this major city called midgar! the main hub of the most powerful company is there, so the city is constantly busy and full of life.

[Although unseen, Rufus almost smiles wistfully to himself as he types that message. Midgar truly was something, although in the end, more of his father's city than anything.]

[foxtouched]

[ He seems nice enough. She's endeared to this Lieutenant Mutten for being a pleasant distraction, hoping she hasn't been too unpleasant herself. She hadn't wanted to socialize for a while until now. ]

You're very sweet.

Though, Midgar... what a curious name. It sounds very exciting, even in just text. Was this where the army of Shinra worked from, too?

You must have have had so much to do in a city so grand. Would that I could see it... do you know of the "Amphoria Rooms"? People were able to visit images of their homes through them, and show friends where they came from.

[ruinedempire]

[Quite unfortunate he's giving Mutten Kylegate a good impression, given the man almost killed him back in Kalm. But that's fine, he understood some of the 'risks' upon doing this.]

yeah definitely! a good portion of the shinra army worked at midgar, but sometimes we're stationed at other cities, such as junon. you know, keeping the peace and everything.

oh? i haven't heard of those before. maybe i can show you midgar through that room! it'd be like a date!

[foxtouched]

That sounds like it would be fun. I'd love to see more of your Midgar.

I'd be happy to go on a date with you. (◡‿◡✿)

The Amphoria rooms allow us to experience the sounds and scents, and even interact with people in your memories!

When would be convenient for you, Lieutenant Kylegate?

[ She suspects nothing- it does sound like it'll be a fun visit, and she'll get to see a new place altogether! ]

[ruinedempire]

[Even interact, huh... quite a dangerous thing there, really. Too intriguing to entirely pass up, however. And really, Rufus isn't about to allow the past influence his decisions now.]

that's really cool! i'd love to experience midgar again

i'm available anytime from tomorrow and onward! How about you?

[foxtouched]

[ She actually hasn't gone in there herself to see her own home world... mostly because she knows she'd get too homesick. It's safer to see others' worlds, at least- and she'll get to enjoy sights she's never seen before. ]

Tomorrow is perfect. We could meet at the central fountain in Level 1.

There are many good sights around!

Do you like flowers at all?

[ruinedempire]

i'll see you then!

flowers? well, i guess they're fine! i haven't really gotten them as presents before...

this is so cute :D would you like to log/action?

[foxtouched]

Then I should like to gift you some. I arrange them to present as such, after all...

I hope you will like them when we meet. Until then, Lieutenant Kylegate.

[ She realizes she might have to find something to wear but— hopefully he won't think badly if she isn't as princess-like.

Regardless, she'll do her best to be presentable! It's only right if she's meeting a lieutenant! And possibly a new friend! ]

yes! i would love to :>

[ruinedempire]

[He's not going to reject that.]

Yes, until then. I suppose I'll look for a lady with flowers? :)

yay :D hope this works! phone tagging is agony...

[foxtouched]

Yes! I'll be in red... that's how people usually recognize me. And my fox familiar is usually accompanying me... I'll be there around the third hour of noon, then.

See you there!

[ She can't wait already. She'll be sure to show up with a nice presentation of flowers too, and she knows just what to bring! ]
