Presently no sun gives light to our sky, Lilac hues darken for you she and I

[[Suddenly... EXPLOSIONS! Everybody loves explosions, just not so much when they are coming from expensive looking or difficult to replace electronic equipment like was filling that room just there. The nearest hallway becoming covered in bits of singed, burnt or broken plastic, metal and circuit boards likely isn't too great either but hey, can't make an omelette without breaking a few-
once that toxic smelling smog clears a bit; a woman, very apparently a holographic projection, steps out. Getting more and more solid looking as she get further away, before finally collapsing and appearing very real for a simple projection.]]

[OOC: Whoo I finally got around to this :D. Information in profile btw.]

[Granted, there's always something going on when explosions go off, and it's a combination of SOLDIER instincts and Zack's natural curiosity that prompts him to go investigate. Burnt circuity is certainly not kind to the nose, and Zack makes a face as he cautiously approaches the source of the smell. But then he notices that there appears to be someone collapsed on the floor....]

"Hey!" [He breaks into a run, skidding to a halt beside the prone figure, reaching out a hand towards her (at least, it appears to be a 'her' from what he can tell).] "Are you all right?"

((ooc: This should be interesting! Zack knows Dr. Lucrecia Crescent by name only, and he knows that she is Sephiroth's mother -- his true mother -- but that's about the extent of it. Also, is she physically tangible at this point? I wasn't sure if his hand should just sink through her or not.))

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

[[brb, coughing... oh hey, lungs... this is new, she seems just a bit surprised despite the disorientation from the explosion]]

[ooc:yup, tangible now. This is at least guaranteed to be something of an experience for me since I'm usually playing Hojo.]

[dark-fenrir.livejournal.com]

"Let's get you out of here, okay? Some fresh air would probably help."

[He crouches down by her, laying a hand on her shoulder. He's not sure of the extent of any injuries she might have, but the air around here is definitely not going to help her coughing any.]

((ooc: Hojo? Really?! Wow. He's a character I definitely haven't seen much of in RP.))

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

hmm, yes... should.
[[Just a little more aware she'll latch on to your arm to at least try standing up. For coming out of that explosion she's in amazingly good condition, just a bit ruffled.]]

[ooc:Fun is almost defined by playing Hojo in the vicinity of Sephiroth and/or Vincent]

[dark-fenrir.livejournal.com]

[Helping the woman to her feet, Zack manuevers himself between her and the vicinity of the explosion, deliberately shielding her should anything else in the area decide to go off. He waits until she appears to be stable on her feet before guiding her to someplace else with a bit more breathable air, eying her for any injuries as they walk.]

"It looks like you were lucky. Do you feel okay?"

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

Just disorientated.
[[and a little dusty]]

[dark-fenrir.livejournal.com]

[The woman's clothing is smudged and dusty, presumably from the explosion and its aftermath, and Zack just now realizes just how similar her not-so-white-at-the-moment coat is to a lab coat. Maybe he's mistaken, though. Maybe she just has a thing for white coats.

The easy smile on his face falters, and glowing blue eyes regard the woman rather warily now.]

"Are you a scientist or a researcher?"

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

[[She thinks about this a little, it's hard to tell just how much time actually passed while she was trapped and whether she should still classify herself as such.]]
I am.
Or at least, I was.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

[Explosions are rarely good things, in Tseng's experience. Much less ones from a computer.

So he'll just be making his way carefully over to the woman to make sure she's alright.]

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

[[she's in pretty good condition for having walked out of that, just coughing from the smoke and very a bit surprised.]]

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

Are you alright?

[Best to know before trying to help, after all.]

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

Not sure.
[[Not exactly having great luck with the 'attempting to get up' business, just a bit weak from having not been a flesh and blood person for a decade.]]
...Could you please help me up?

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[And he bends to offer a hand.]

and now I must do that sleep thing

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

[[She'll be taking that offer, just a little stumbly once she's standing the heels really don't help]]

see you later, then~

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

[He'll just wait patiently until she's managed to get her balance properly.]

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

We should get out of this smoke.
[[Just a little distacted looking around.]]
...Things certainly changed out here.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

[nods and starts heading towards where the smoke is less thick.]

You've been here before, then?

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

I think so.
Unless they moved the computer out of the castle...

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm aware, this isn't a castle.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

In that case I wouldn't know where I am.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

It's called the Dressing Room.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

Would I be able to get back to Radiant Garden from here?

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid not.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

...I should be glad I got out at all but...

Sephiroth.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

I've heard rumors of there being a Sephiroth here, if that's any consolation.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

I-if he's here... I should go find him.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

If he's here, it can wait. I doubt he'll be going anywhere soon.

Not really smacking him, I just lack angry icons

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

I need to know what happened!
[[eep, she didn't mean to raise her voice like that]]
...I-I was so worried when they stopped updating the files. After what they were doing to him...

...I just need to see my son.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

[Slight pause.]

As much as I might like to help, I'm afraid I don't know where he is, or even if the rumors are true.

[forgottendata.livejournal.com]

[[Oblivious.]]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go off like that.
It's just been a very long time.

[nogoodpeople.livejournal.com]

Perfectly understandable.
