[audio]

[ Vincent isn’t normally one to just try calling out of the blue, but he really wants some intel on this place - enough that he is willing to at least try, even if he is quite suspicious of, well... everything about this place. ]

Where is this? And to whom... am I speaking?

[ His voice is deep and quiet and mostly toneless - though there is a dark edge to it. He wants answers, and he expects to be given them. However, he has one last thing to add... ]

Yuffie, if this is your doing... [ ... well, if she’s listening, he’s pretty sure she can imagine the unspoken threat. ]


[action]

[ But even as he waits for any sort of response, Vincent doesn’t keep still. Instead, he carefully explores the mansion, moving quietly as he swoops down hallways, checking rooms and keeping to the shadows. You wouldn’t expect someone in a red cape to be particularly stealthy, but he manages it very well - unnaturally so.

However, stealthy or not, he is expecting a fight, so if he opens the door to a room someone is in, his gun is out and aimed right at them. ... really, he’s too used to a world where every space that isn’t a town or city is crawling with hostile wildlife. Don’t worry, though. He won’t shoot on sight. .... probably.

But you’d also better be careful if you meet him in a hallway - or more likely, he sneaks up behind you - as he is armed and dangerous and isn’t the friendliest looking person...

In either case, he won't waste time in asking questions. Unless he's already had the basics from someone else, in which case he'll probably lower the gun if he's sure you're not a threat. ... probably. ]

Logic? Hn.

[ He shakes his head and simply gazes at Sephiroth for a few moments longer before turning away, letting his cape swirl behind him, fluttering dramatically in his wake. He finally holsters his gun as he goes. ]

Don't flatter yourself.

[Hmph. Well that rubbed a little harder than Sephiroth had intended to take it. Having a gun pointed at you while you're not even doing anything to merit it is one thing, but did Vincent really want to go the whole hog and insult his intelligence as well? He's the superior being here.

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow as Vincent headed back down the corridor away from him. He's not impressed but it doesn't show outwardly. Until he raises two fingers and in a sweeping motion fires his telekinetic power to trip Vincent's next step.

Perhaps a taste of floor would suffice as a warning.]

[ Simply existing merits having a gun pointed at Sephiroth, all things considered. But there is nothing about Sephiroth that Vincent considers particularly 'superior' - except, perhaps, his persistent survival instinct.

Not himself being particularly telekinetic nor being sensitive to such things, Vincent does not notice what Sephiroth is doing until he feels the jerk against his leg. And then down he goes -- but if there's one thing (besides how to use a gun) he remembers well from his training so many years ago, it's how to fall and pop right back up again. So, as he hits the floor, he catches himself and springs back up in short order - though there's something almost... floaty about the way he gets to his feet, and the way his cape moves isn't quite natural for a moment.

But rather than acknowledge the warning, Vincent simply makes a mental note of it, glancing back over his shoulder once before continuing on. Interesting... ]
