01 - Audio & Action - take your pick! Phone call or gun to the face...
[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. ]

oh boy!
[ Insert him still not really smirking, though he's definitely amused. Somewhere. Deep down. Beneath the lineface. ]
But I've had enough suits in my time... My job once required me to wear them nearly all the time, and the hours were rarely only nine to five.
no subject
[ Points in his favor for not flouncing in the face of her
annoyingcharming conversation. ]Only two kinds of jobs require a suit. The boring one and the not-so-boring. [ That second one could be secret agent man, or assassin. What's the difference, really? ] So, you an ex banker or something a little more deadly?
[ Yeah, tell her the life story, Vincent. It's more likely she wouldn't believe it, anyway. ]
no subject
Even the more deadly jobs still involve their share of boring paperwork...
no subject
Paperwork? Lame. [ She would be the biggest troll when it came to paperwork. ] It just doesn't leave much room to go about your deadly business, does it?
no subject
Mm... it depends. Reports aren't so bad... you can get... creative. ... but there were still plenty of hours leftover for the fun bits...
no subject
Now you can't go being vague like that without dropping a few deets.
[ Was there assassinating? That's really the only kind of fun she'd ever be interested in. ]
no subject
[ Gotta be a tease. Or ... something.
Mostly he's just curious what sass will come out of her mouth next. ]
no subject
Depends on how bored I am. I'll take a raincheck on the deets.
[ And she'll look him over once, her right eyebrow raising just a hair. ]
I'll just be on my merry way, then. I'm sure you have more of the mansion to glare at. Better do it soon, the attic might start feeling neglected.
[ Despite the blood red cloak and the line face, he's a mystery and that pings her. Guess who's going to be giving Vincent a hard time in the future? ]
no subject
... I will be sure to give the rafters a particularly scathing look just for you.
[ He turns away, dramatically swirling his cape as he starts down the hallway once more. ]
Farewell, Meg...
no subject
Later, Vincent. Don't scare too many of the locals.
