[Anyone near the chocobo stables can probably hear a very loud ruckus coming from inside the room. Namely the sudden roar of an engine, chocobos warking frantically, and a few seconds later, a very loud bang which makes the wall rattle.]

[Cloud had been getting attacked by some group of guys with silver hair while on his way to see Reno about a job of some sort. Which had involved being chased by said group of males over a wasteland on motorcycles at high speeds. The one with the longer hair had just managed to get in front of him and graze his head when the dirt had suddenly changed to grass, and the man with the gun was suddenly a chocobo preening. He had managed to swerve before he hit the bird, but then there was a wall. That turn was far too sharp to make going that fast.]

[If someone were to come in now, they would find a Cloud laying a few feet away from the mangled motorcycle lodged in the wall. Looks like he just managed to bail before the bike crashed. He's still bleeding from the head from being shot at though. Maybe someone should see if he died.]

((OOC: Because the DR needed some more Cloud action. Forgive any fail, I've never played an Advent Children Cloud.))

[Well Tifa was just on her way to the chocobo stables and entered the room just in time to see what happened.

She'll just be running over now.]

Cloud!

[It takes him a few seconds to stir, blinking slightly at hearing her voice. He pushes himself up a bit.]

Tifa?

[Sighs in relief when he stirs, before pulling a potion out of her pocket to offer him.]

[Forgive him for just kind of staring, Tifa. He's not sure exactly what just happened, and if he's having some kind of serious hallucination or not.]

... Weren't you at the bar?

[Small smile.]

Drink the potion. I'll explain once you've stopped bleeding.

[Health comes first after all.]

[Alright. He'll just go with it for now. If his hallucinations want to give him a potion, why not. Cloud takes the potion from her, drinking it slowly.]

There were these silver haired guys, just outside of Midgar. When I was going to Healin Lodge...

[Silver hair, you say? She might look very much like one of them, but given that they were guys... This might throw things off. In any case, Riku heard that, and she's inside quick, a little shocked to see that kind of destruction in here of all places.]

Are you alright?

[Yes. Long silver hair. Pretty similar to Riku's hair actually. Which is why when he opens his eyes and sees the long silver hair, he's scrambling to get to his feet, more than ready to go over to the bike and grab a sword. Cloud hasn't bothered to let his eyes wander down past her face yet.]

Who are you?

[Frowns slightly at that. She knows about them.]

Well, dont worry about them. You should be safe now. I dont think I've seen any of them here.

[That scrambling gets her to freeze where she is, eying him a little warily. She'd rather not get into a fight today, but her stance is tense and ready. Just in case.]

Riku. What about you?

Where's here?

[He's standing up now, since he's feeling a little less dazed.]

[... Wait. Riku doesn't have the same voice as the guy from before. In fact, Riku sounds like a girl. Is it nice for a change to have someone relax a little when they notice that?]

Oh, you're not... Sorry. You look a lot like someone else.

[It's quite nice, actually. But she was hoping for something like that rather than an attack. It makes her relax a little, too, hands slipping casually into her pockets.]

I get that a lot.

[And she tilts her head, taking in the damage.]

Need a potion?

[Now he's going to be really confused when he sees male Rikus. Apart from the cut above his eye, he looks to be alright. Really, the grass, the wall and the motorcycle look to be in worse shape than he is.]

I'm fine.

[Apart from being pretty sure he's seeing things. A wasteland can't just suddenly change into a field full of chocobos.]

They call it the Dressing room. It brings people in from different worlds. It can, take a bit of getting used to.

[Sorry Tifa, he's just looking confused again. Cloud's having a bit of a hard time figuring out that this is really happening.]

[She might find some ridiculous satisfaction in that. And oh yes it can suddenly change. If you're hopping around dimensions, anyway. Since Cloud doesn't look to be near death, Riku won't bother him about it - she can understand that.]

If you say so. Do you know where you are?

[That's to be expected. Most people get confused when arriving here.]

Hm. Come with me.

[Takes his hand to lead him out of the room.]

[It's a pretty small scratch, it's just bleeding pretty well. He brushes the blood off his forehead, shaking his head.]

No.

[She figured he was new. Great, that means she gets to play this again.]

Well, it's not anywhere near wherever you were just now. This place seems to have a mind of its own. It gathers people up from their worlds and times, places that couldn't connect any other way.

Okay.

[If she grabbed his left hand, she might notice a bit of hesitation in being tugged along, but he'll follow her.]

[Well, if he been here before, he wouldn't exactly be crazy enough to try and drive a motorcycle in the chocobo stables. He's never been to other worlds like some of the people around here have, so he's just staring at her.]

What do you mean?

[Okay, she raises an eyebrow to that.]

Exactly like it sounds. Which part was confusing?

[He's going to think Rikus are suppose to all be girls, cut him some slack.]

Worlds? There's whole other worlds out there with humans on them?

[Alright, alright.]

Yeah. Not just humans, either. Worlds, planets, whatever you want to call it. This place covers things on top of that. Dimensions, alternate universes, timelines...
