A "vampire" arrives

Who: Vincent Valentine and YOU
What: Vincent's arrival and initial exploration of the city
Where: Dormitories + the Park primarily, could wander
When: September 7-10
Warnings: Possible discussions of death? Otherwise, nothing really



a. dormitories

[After all he'd seen, 'this can't be happening' wasn't something he was going to entertain with a ponder. He followed the directions given by the statues and the strange "Head". Normally, he would have explored this strange new place in which he's found himself, but with all the unknowns, he opted for compliance, at least until he's found this dormitory room which was to double as his base of operations while he figured out the real purpose behind his being brought here. While he wasn't a scientist, Vincent had spent enough time around them to know the collection and analysis of DNA was rarely a good thing, especially when performed under such questionable circumstances.

He nods to the concierge when he's provided his key and network device, frowning down at it briefly before slipping it into the pocket and taking a look around the place. It was so...mundane...He didn't make an effort to appear inconspicuous in his leathers and red cape, knowing his brass claw stood out all on its own, but he doesn't immediately proceed upstairs, instead opting to take up a position near a wall and watch those who came and went.

b. central square park | ota

[After getting to know the dormitories, he sets out to get to know his surroundings. His Turk training never really left, and getting a lay of the land, and by extension, the city, was pivotal to understanding where he's been taken. As he moves through the lush setting, a growing sense of unease grasped him as he made notes mentally:

There were no woodland creatures. The sounds, or the lack thereof, were unsettling and his hand was never far from the grip of his handgun. Because of the silence, the statues had a looming effect and his crimson gaze shifted around warily. It...might not be a good idea to sneak up on the guy.

c. central square park | closed to Thane

[Continued from here.

Vincent approved of the selection of the Central Square Park. It was, as its name implied, centrally located but also public. They may not have privacy, but they would have the security of the location. Old habits die hard, and being a bodyguard had been ingrained in him for a very young age. He waited for the Drell near a bench, though he himself was leaning against a nearby statue, arms crossed. He'd never seen another of Tannor's race in Dualis. He'd be difficult to miss.

[Vincent will see Squall passing by about three times in the span of about an hour. He had a bandage around his head and he seemed to be trying to find something. The first pass was to use the stairs, the second coming from the elevator, and the third time he was followed by a young chocobo. He didn't seem to be aware of it because he nearly jumped out of his skin when the bird crept up behind him and let out a loud WARK.

He whirled around, taking half a step back, looked from Vincent accusingly before his confused mind finally caught up to what happened. The bird fluffed its feathers happily and Squall sighed, facepalming.]


You're supposed to stay with Cloud.

[Squall blinks. Posture shifting from unfocused to wary and on guard. He's trying to gauge Vincent's threat level when Boko, delighted to see Vincent again, kwehs and runs up to him, jumping up and down with a flap of his wings for more scritches.]

Boko?

[Confused, it takes a while but it finally dawns on Squall.]

You're Cloud's friend.

[Letting down his guard, he carefully approaches and bends down to pick up the bird, holding him in his arms and petting him absently.]

He's... my friend too. He watches Boko for me.
silentnarration: (surprise)

[Boko seems to like him too, wiggling and flailing in Squall's hold and stretching his neck out to reach for Vincent. Squall looks between them for a moment before holding the bird closer to Vincent so the young chocobo can peck at the edge of Vincent's cape.

He nods, pushing down the unease of someone else talking about him. Cloud's a good friend. It's fine.]


He probably told you already but don't trust anything in this place.

[His head injury is Cloud's fault though. Kinda.]

[He nods, trying not to get distracted by the delighted noises Boko is making.]

There's surveillance. Police robots. I'm pretty sure the Head wants to kill us.

[wait should he be saying that in the lobby. He covers his mouth and Boko warks and flaps his wings at the sudden loss of Squall's one hand holding him.]

... Forget I said that.
silentnarration: unknown artist (meh)

[Oh this guy makes it easy. Good.]

You're really pale.

[And there goes the broken filter again.]
silentnarration: (wth)

[personal profile] silentnarration 2019-10-19 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
You what?

[Huh?! He's taken aback before studying Vincent carefully.]

... Are you human?
silentnarration: (is that...)

[personal profile] silentnarration 2019-10-28 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[A concerned frown as he adjusts his grip on Boko, who keeps trying to get at Vincent's cloak. There's a lot of implication behind those words. None good.]

I won't ask. We're stuck here together so as long as you can help.
silentnarration: unknown artist (uh huh)

[personal profile] silentnarration 2019-11-01 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh? He looks taken aback by that. Don't confuse him while he's confused.]

You... can sit out or find something else to do?

[Wait, he didn't mean to sound so uncertain.]
