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.

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.
no subject
This girl that he didn't recognize; she was part of the family. He could see that, but the face wasn't familiar. Somehow, he didn't feel alarmed though, just curious. "Did you follow me? I told everyone I would handle this."
no subject
no subject
Wait. This could be a trick. A trap into letting their enemies know where they were hiding. Reno frowned at her. "You know the way back, don't you?"
no subject
"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.

He laced his fingers together on his knee. "Impatient, aren't we Reno?"
no subject
But in a way it made sense.
"You know what I'm here for." Reno replied, his bearing more respectful than it had been. This was Tseng, after all. "There's no reason to waste time." He tapped the EMR against his leg softly, reminding himself it was still there. He wasn't sure what to expect from the chief.

"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 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.
no subject
When he saw her, or er, him, but her. Wait, what?
This was a dream, it had to be. Reno blinked. But why would he be dreaming that he was a woman, and out of body on top of that? He felt like he was there, and it sure wasn't like the normal third person dreams.
"The hell is this?" He mumbled, his pose relaxing just a little, but still ready for anything.
no subject
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."
no subject
"What the hell do you mean by that?" He demanded, still not sure if he liked the idea of female doubles, dream visions or not. "I got here right on time. I was about to make the deal until you showed up."

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?"
no subject
"I need power," he started, lifting his EMR to his shoulder, "I'm willing to offer anything I have to, to get it."
Short, and to the point. Reno didn't mince words when he was on business.
no subject
"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?"
no subject
"My soul." Reno said evenly. There was no fear or anger in his voice, just resignation. He knew it was the only way. "For the power to get rid of Fuhito and his organization."
That was the simplest solution to all of their troubles. If he got rid of Fuhito, then everything would make sense again. The Turks would go back to how they always were.

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.
no subject
"Aren't you that Wutai kid?" He almost said brat, that wouldn't have been diplomatic. Give the guy some credit after all, he wasn't stupid.
no subject
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?"
no subject
"Oh, so sorry, Ms. Kisaragi. I suppose I should be more respectful?" He couldn't help the sarcasm now. After all of that build up, he was far more amused than he should have been. "No. No, you were definitely not what I expected."
Tilting his head to the side, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe a few more tentacles and a barnacle face and you'd have it about right though."

Re: fffff no apologies needed :D
Sorry for the lateness :(
what lateness?
no subject
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?"
no subject
"Uh, boss... I uh..." Reno was searching for the words he wanted to say, but something was stopping him. Stage fright, perhaps. That wasn't right, he was Reno of the Turks, damn it! "Boss," he said again, regaining some composure and his usual cocky tone, "we're in trouble. We need more power, or something. It's all wrong here."
After a brief hesitation, he nodded. "Yeah, it's all wrong. We keep losing people to them. But they should be gone by now."
no subject
"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.
no subject
He didn't know if Rufus had anything for him, and it galled him just a little asking the boss for something like that, but there it was.
