So You Want to Sell Your Soul...

The city, Midgar was full of people. Soulless, faceless people that ate and breathed and worked and slept. People who didn't have a prayer when it came to protecting themselves from the evils of the world. The monsters that lurked in the darkness, in the streets at night and threatened their very lives as they lay sleeping. Then there were the creatures that inhabited the city, just as monstrous and inhuman but somehow more honest about wanting to destroy you and for what reason.

The Turks were the last bastions of defense against the evils that was AVALANCHE led by Fuhito. They were the only thing separating the world from teetering beyond the brink of despair and falling into destruction. Everything they cared about would disappear. Homes, lives, family. They were a family. Drastic measures had to be taken, consequences notwithstanding. They were underpowered, short handed. There was no way to win against these guys. Reno could not let any more fall to Fuhito and his bunch. He had lost too many people he was willing to call friend. This was where it ended.

This room.

Reno held the grip of his EMR tightly, knuckles turning white with the force, standing in front of an impressively carved oak desk. It was an audacious plan, one that could backfire or cause any number of unexpected things, but it was their one last hope. They needed help, more power, something, and Reno was going to sacrifice himself to get it- not that he had that much humanity left anyway. Not with most of his friends six feet under. He was a lone turk against the world.

The person behind the desk was sitting in an over-sized winged back chair, facing the large floor to ceiling window overlooking the city basking in the glow of mako. Nothing was going to get done like that, he had power to buy and a soul to sell. He walked forward and grabbed the chair to swing it around.

Not alone. Turks don't leave their members alone, and that's why Ami's been drawn to them, time and time again in her dreams. She steps into the room, dressed properly in the unmistakable uniform. She seals the door behind her, with a single flick of her wrist that closes it and prevents it from being opened again until they're finished. Privacy.

Her eyes flicker to Reno. This isn't what she expected (for starters, he isn't what she expected, so clearly male). What is he up to? No matter; for now, she'll stay back and let him handle things until she sees fit to step in.

"I didn't think you should have to handle it alone." It sounds lame even to her ears, because since when did that start to matter again? Yet somehow it does. She isn't sure what Reno's up to here yet, but she has a feeling it won't be easy, or simple.

"I know the way," she says simply. Of course she does, as a Turk; the dream provides it to her, though she'll likely forget its specifics upon waking.

"However, it's because this is uncertain that you shouldn't be running off as if you don't regard the rest of us. There are people who'll wonder why if you don't come back."

She doesn't name herself as one of them. Whether she is or isn't, the important thing is that people who will be concerned for Reno exist. For Reno.

Tseng smirked at Reno from the chair, black hair falling around his face from behind a white and silver mask that matched the equally white suit he wore with a blue tie.

He laced his fingers together on his knee. "Impatient, aren't we Reno?"

"Of course I know. I know a lot of things Reno, but I'm sure you're well aware that I don't share that information until the time comes for it." His head tilted to the side a touch, studying his second in command.

"What you want to know may not be what you think it is. There is far more at work here than even you can see."

She wasn't quite sure what she was doing in this room. Midgar. It felt like it had been a long, long time since she'd last seen it like this, in one piece. She saw the ruins on almost a daily basis. However, she didn't question it too much. She still saw it in dreams sometimes.

She didn't feel any urgency, because what was there to be urgent about?

Instead, she headed toward the chair to turn it around, curious. That's when she realized someone else was there, reaching toward the chair already. She turned toward him and blinked. Well, that wasn't exactly what she'd been expecting.

Reno's own EMR was resting on her shoulder as she looked him over.

The concept wasn't completely strange or novel to her. She did recall Cloud and others mentioning a male version of her (if Tseng had thought much of it, he hadn't said, but he didn't ever give much away). It was an idea she'd found intriguing, though obviously, in her mind, she was the real Reno. Still, if he really was her, she was inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he must be a worthwhile and likely superior person. Compared to others, if not herself.

"Oh, so it's you," she said, pleased to be the knowledgeable one in this situation, as she'd had some forewarning. She grinned. "Took you long enough to get here."

He's gazing out at the city thoughtfully. He knows Midgar well. His city--not where he was born, for he doesn't know where that might have been, but this is where he's spent most of his life, first with Science Research Division, and then with SOLDIER. Yet for all that, it doesn't feel like home, or how he imagines home must feel, judging by the way Angeal and Genesis spoke of theirs.

Lost in his thoughts, he's not expecting to have his chair turned around, but when it is, he remains composed, studying the Turk who stands before him with a cool, yet neutral gaze. He's used to people approaching him with appeals. There's always someone asking him for something.

"And how may I help you?"

Power. He wasn't surprised by the request. Wasn't that what most people wanted from him? It was something he could provide. Power itself was simple and straightforward, and the limits of his own had not been determined by science. The uses of power, however--that was a much more complicated matter, far from being straightforward.

"I can give you that." He didn't address Reno's offer, not yet.

Anything. Usually, he acted because he was following his orders. People didn't make him such offers. What did anyone have, that he wanted? He already had strength, prestige, any material goods he desired.

"And what do you want it for?"

[personal profile] yuffiekisaragi 2012-04-03 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh hi!"

That would be Yuffie Kisaragi planted in that over-sized chair, sitting cross legged and slouched against the back. She's been waiting for who knows how long, and finally something's happening.

She wasn't really expecting Reno, of all people, but then again she wasn't sure who to expect. She just knew she was waiting. Cocking her head to the side, she studies Reno for a moment before she breaks out a wide grin just for him.

Leaning back in the chair, she props her feet on the desk, unmindful of any important documents they may be strewn across it. Hey, it's not really her office. If it were, it'd be a hell of a lot more fun.

"And how can the world's great ninja assist you today?" A question posed without a firm decision on if she would help him. With anything.
yuffiekisaragi: (Displeased)

His comment earns a glare from her before she rolls her eyes. It's not the first (and probably won't be the last) time she's been called 'kid', though she is clearly well past her adolescent years.

Maybe not clearly, since she still sorta looks like a twelve year old boy.

"That's Yuffie Kisaragi to you, buddy," she points a finger at him in a rather authoritative manner (if you ask her). "And you're the one coming to see me, aren't ya? What, am I not what you were expecting?"

When the chair was swung around, the motion caused a pair of blue eyes to open and look up at Reno with something of a devil-may-care attitude reflected in the way the twenty-something blond studied the redhead now in front of him.

Likely the redhead had been expecting to see his father sitting where he now sat, but fortunately for Reno, that man was now six-feet under, thanks to one silver-haired solider.

"Yes, Reno?"

Considering where Rufus currently sat, as well as the view before him, it didn't take long to figure out who the them that Reno spoke of were really. He could understand Reno's words about them, the AVALANCHE group they were dealing with now was but a pale shadow of its predecessor, yet somehow they succeeded in fulfilling the original's goal of bringing down ShinRa to it's proverbial knees.

"Sometimes the best way to deal with a losing situation is to avoid tackling it head-on. Step back, watch it, take other factors surrounding it into account and see if it can't be solved in a different manner."

He was thinking about Strife as he spoke and how he had in effect used the blond and his friends to deal with those remnants of Sephiroth, when they proved to be too much for him and his Turks to deal with solo.
