The problem with re-reading old logs from games gone by.

[rubrum_sonata]

We're not playing this game again.

Put your focus where it needs to be. That does not include humouring my continued existence in spite of numerous more effervescent residents.

Don't stretch yourself any thinner.

[Talk about over-quota.]

Vincent.

[rubrum_sonata]

[It is his aim to not spend so much time on ghosts, as-is. Another? He'll pass. No desire to interact with this one at all. Even if that means keeping his awareness wide, since one can't really ignore Sephiroth.]

[iam_sephiroth]

[He narrowed his eyes at the man. Was he even there.]

Cat got your tongue, Vincent?

[rubrum_sonata]

[The idiom earns little reaction other than the arching of a half-hidden brow. No, he's well aware of the other man's presence, but sees little purpose in acknowledging it further than this. Else he'd be tempted to raise a firearm in what he's been informed is a no-conflict zone by an apologetic player--sentiments founded on his lack of "personable" response. Adversaries and his penchant to say little to nothing to all but a select few, and all.]

[iam_sephiroth]

It would seem so.

[rubrum_sonata]

There's a difference between having no words and choosing not to speak.

[iam_sephiroth]

Perhaps.

[rubrum_sonata]

I'll let you figure it out.

[hityeahmiss]

[Nostalgia, huh? Have a quizzical look.]

Are you okay?

[rubrum_sonata]

[Chances missed, old acquaintances returning... That sort of thing. Not unlike here, in a way, but there was a strange sort of "more definite" sense in that other place. But you're asking Vincent to answer if he's "okay", Tifa. He gestures idly, holding an arm out just to display a lack of injury. "Okay" is a tricky state of being.]

Alive.

[hityeahmiss]

[Of course he's literal about it. She smiles.]

Well, that's a plus. It sounded like you and your mun have a couple of issues.

[rubrum_sonata]

[It's his brand of humour, just as much as it's an efficient way to answer. He shrugs a shoulder, gaze lowering as he does; dismissive. Mun's just got bigger ideas than are easily handled at the moment.]

Trying to do too much.

[hityeahmiss]

[Tifa can commiserate.]

Yeah, that's a bummer. But you're here now; that's a good sign.

[rubrum_sonata]

If only to quiet things before they start.

[And the mun's still iffy on including DoC as part of his history, so he's getting the tiniest bit annoyed with what direction his life's going being so up in the air. "Let me sleep."]
