"Whatever, yo," Reno replied. "Meanwhile, I'm gonna do my dishes, too."
Rude did a double take before realizing Reno had used a paper plate. "Reno, I want to talk to you."
"Well, that's a first, yo," Reno deadpanned. "Spread out, shorty, I got to have a chinwag with my partner here."

Vincent found a communications bank on board, near the infirmary door. He dialed a security line.
Ring. Ring.
"Vincent Valentine."
"Shelke."
"I wondered if I would ever hear from you."
"You knew you would, Shelke. I'm coming back to Wutai. I'm not certain for how long."
"You've lost a limb, Vincent Valentine. I would advise you to visit me."
"How did you know?"
"An amateur filmmaker made a record of the incident, after the mass destruction at the Costa Beach dock district. The recording was broadcasted on the information broadcasts--"
"They're called the news, Shelke."
"I saw your lower arm removed mid-flight. I'm certain it was painful."
"You can say that again."
"I found myself questioning your survival."
"I'm perfectly fine, Shelke. But this is, shall I say... inconvenient."
"I can supplant your remaining limb if you wish. I would not charge expenses from you."
"Should I assume you are bribing me to come home?"
"Yes."
Vincent almost chuckled over that. "I'll come."
"Hurry." She hung up.

Sin walked into the room Vincent was in, hoping to talk to him.
"Vincent, can we talk? There are some things I was hoping you oculd clarify for me."

Vincent disconnected his end of the line and fixed Sin with a look. "Such as?"

Kidd laughed at that. "The sword or this sorry excuse for a room?"

"For starters, I broke my arm badly to save Ami fo some reason which goes against what I would do in any other situation, I am trying to bridge the gap from Tifa and Cloud without even knowing them and having no reason to, and this demon thing.
Sin said, letting his arms dropp to his sides. He shook his head and leaned against the wall.

Cloud looked up from his blade. He grinned wryly. "Take your pick.If you want the easier choice..." He paused to give the room a once over. "I'd go for the sword."
****
Vincent studied the boy. "You knew, before I did, that I am part of you. Most of the situations you describe line up with my most probable reactions. However, I would be moe likely to let Tifa and Cloud work out their own problems."

Kidd laughed and stood up pushing Cloud down. "Sit down you old man, your gonna break a hip doing all this." He drew his keyblade and seperated them before spinning both of them around. "Well lets get started eh?" He kicked a sidetable back up and into a corner then lifted up a lamp while doing a crescent kick. He set down the lamp when his right foot came down and used his keyblades to scoop up the shade and tossed it on. Kidd landed and brushed himself off before falling, rolling, and screaming. "Leg cramp!"

[rofl old man > leg cramp any day]
Sin thought for a moent, his eyes closed. He registered something for a moent.
"Are you saying, that everything I do you would do for the most part, and the stuff I do you don't... like Tifa and Cloud... could that come from the second DNA used in the experiments?"

"Not quite, Sin," Vincent corrected. "But I have to concur that my DNA might have an influence on your actions. However, I choose to believe one's personality is defined more by environment than by breeding."
****
Cloud tried to smother a laugh and abjectly failed. "Sorry, Kidd... that's just what comes from being too c0cky..." He went into fits of mirth again.

Reno and Rude were hanging around in the cabin Vincent and Ami had abandoned. "I had a certain document secreted about my person when we arrived in Kalm," Rude rumbled, as succinctly as possible. "However, it seems to have been... misplaced. I wonder if you would know something about it."
Reno fidgeted. "Yeah... about that, partner..." He pulled it out of his pocket. "Ya lost it in the brawl, yo. I picked it up for ya."
"Did you manage to examine its contents."
"No... well, a little... OK, I read the whole d**n thing, yo. Why not? It's nothing illegal, yo. Look, back when Nikky and me were just getting serious, you were all like, 'Deal with it', right? So I'm gonna say that, too. This chick, maybe you like her. Maybe you wanna see her, maybe you don't, none o' my business, yo. But whatever you're gonna do, do it, man, and get over it."
He stopped to catch his breath. Rude looked at him warily. "Who are you and what have you done with my partner?"
"Get serious, yo."
"Look who's talking."
"Come on, man!"

In a few minutes together the two had picked up the room. "And for the final touch!" Kidd hung up one more painting out of the 6 he had all together. "Now you can't see the dents from inside the room." Kidd walked over and sat in the recliner he had put in the corner. "Well, how's the sword?"

Sin nodded and stared at the side of the desk thinking.
"How would our enviroments coencide?"

"Better, better," Cloud shrugged. "But that's not to say it couldn't use a little time getting routine maintenance from a professional... too bad most of the professionals don't seem to like me."

Matron? What are you on about, Yazoo? Jenova was the last. There is no one to be a matron OF anymore. No one but us.
That's where you're wrong, Ami. That signal is calling out to survivors of the Memetic Wars from across the cosmos.
But there can't be that many left, can there?
It's hard to tell. I hope not. But if there are...
An indicator on the flight console flashed-- a proximity alert. Ami peered out the window. "Wutai island! We're almost there!"

Vincent paused. "Honestly, I hadn't considered that angle. But since you mention it... you briefly described being experimented on by Shinra staff. I underwent a similar period of experimentation, both before and after Chaos matter was added to my system. Otherwise, however, our origins seem to diverge greatly."
There was a long silence. "Sin, what do you know of Dr. Lucrezia Crescent?"

"I can beleve that." Kidd's face was as serious as can be but his composure fell apart as he began to laugh. Man it's been awhile since I have been this relaxed. From off in the distance he could hear Ami yell. He stood up and stretched. "Well, we're almost there."

Sin stopped moving for a moment, and appeared to have a serious freak out. He started shaking uncontrolably, and clenched the table close to him so hard that peices broke off.
"Lu..cre...zia ..."
Something happened, and his arms grew demonic. Everything else stayed the same, and trouble crossed Sin's face.
"She knew... hahahah. oh yes, She knew about me. he knew, and She knew about you as well. Oh if she saw us now, what we have become! Hahahahaha..."
