❛ I am teeth. I am royal. you are nothing to me. ❜

"Teeth... Teeth? Of all the things you choose to describe yourself you use that?" Sephiroth replied as he brushed off the rest of the statement to focus on the strangest part of it. The Emperor was a curious man at times and this was one of those little moments it seemed. Not that he knew him well or anything.

❛ you’re a weapon and weapons don’t weep. ❜ - Genesis (moondeluge)

"I was not..." He lied. He did not know this man he was new to him. Though he had been weeping, he was still young, and injuries hurt even if they healed quickly enough. The worst ones were ones that were not physical, like whenever he saw children with their parents and wondered where his own was. How come he never got to meet her? Jenova. Was she dead? Did she leave him? These were questions that were never answered for him. "And you are...?" Sephiroth asked at last, burying his pain and regaining his composure.

“ it doesn’t matter because you’re dead ” (Cloud Strife)

"As if that ever stopped me." The former general mused to his spikey, blond haired rival. Cloud was an endless source of entertainment for him. No matter what he threw at the young man he preserved, he came back stronger and he continued to provide him with a worthy challenge. He might actually be sad when he eventually managed to kill the human puppet.

"Besides... it's far more fun being dead together, why don't you join me?" He smirked, that hint of madness in his Mako green eyes. Sephiroth brought his sword to ready as they would no doubt cross blades soon as was the way they usually would "greet" one another. It was something he knew, something farmilar that he was used to. He took comfort in the familiarity of it.

“Quite a valuable thing to lose so early on in life. Is that why your here then?” He’s question held the slightest hint of curiosity, that showed he wasn’t mocking the other’s loss. During his days at war, he’d known many that would take their own life rather than loose a limb. To continue on after loosing an arm, especially to a swordsmen took a lot of will to live and survive. He could respect that.

“In part, yes. But I more refer to the actions of others. I spent my life believing and acting on beliefs that were fed to me from a young age. Lies about my past and who I am... but it was also the poor choices of those that gave me orders that lead me down a path that would lead to bloodshed.” The former General elaborated. He was not looking for forgiveness, it was more reflecting on how things came to be this way. In his mind, back then, he’d been on a justified and righteous crusade. It was only after his true death, after a long talk with his sister in the lifestream that he learned the truth of things. That he would be given a second chance now... He wasn’t entirely sure he deserved it, but he was here none-the-less.

“My Sister cleared up a lot of things for me while I was death. I know the lies for what they are now...” He concluded but did not meet her gaze at first. Instead Sephiroth gazed out over the horizon a moment. When he did face Tifa, his expression was serene almost at peace in a way. “I don’t ask for forgiveness, but you needn’t consider me a threat to the world any longer.” He told her simply.

Well, that certainly is surprising.

Truth be told, he’d never expected to be around to see General Sephiroth’s return to the world of the living, nor exist long enough to meet him anywhere else. He was fully aware of his status as an extra, a backup, a throwaway, and so to not only survive for this long, but actually meet the general…

What an unexpected twist.

There’s literally no point in hiding who he is, or pretending not to know who he’s looking at. That would be stupid, and he’s not. He can’t think of anything to say to the man, though. Is it wrong to address him by name? Is it wrong to look him in the eye? Is it wrong to stand across from him?

For a split second, he overthinks it, and nearly ignores the general altogether–but it’s a quick recovery, and Yazoo stares head-on at the man he was made from, and gives a curt nod.

“What can I do for you?”

He lives, if for nothing else, to serve.

The Silver haired man looked at the extra, so much like him and yet so not. This one like the two others were made from him. It wasn’t that unlike how he was made from his mother. Did that make him their father than? It was an amusing idea, but he discarded it. They were children of Jenova, like he was, that made them his siblings he decide. Those that survive to see him return to this world had earned the right to be considered as such.

“Straight to the point, A good quality... Brother.” He stated as an acknowledgement as he tested out the word. He’d been an only child for a long time, even after learning of his sister his contact with her had been limited before she betrayed him and mother. He would call her sister no more after that. If had been a shame as he often wondered what having siblings was like. Now Mother had gifted him three that may be stand ins if a need arises. 

“There is much to do. Pests yet stand in my way and must be snuffed out if we are to claim this world for mother.” Sephiroth explained shortly. He hadn’t given up on his goals, if anything, his plans had been set back, nothing more.

Starter for @femmesafacettes / @darkharbringer

Long silver locks trailed behind him as he reached out with an affectionate hand to brush a few strands of the female alien’s hair out of her face. It wasn’t his real hand, for that was encased in crystallized Mako, as was the rest of his body. No, this was one of many avatars, puppet bodies he controlled in place of his own. “Mother... everything is almost in place now. I will soon return the world to you and things will be as they should be.” He told her, his voice was soft as he shared a rare moment with the mother he had only briefly known from a few documents and a short meeting in Nibelheim .

She was someone he had longed to meet for so long and had left him lonely in life. Sephiroth did not blame her for this however, especially with how he’d found her the first time, not too different from now actually as he gazed at the tube in the ShinRa Laboratory. The staff seemed to be distracted by other intruders, a good distraction as he worked to save his mother, Jenova from this hell hole. While he was at it, he would make a few others pay for her suffering while he was here...

Starter for @ancientblxde

The one companion that he never left behind. Someone as faithful and trusted to carry out his will as the most loyal of soldiers. His Masamune, the ancient blade had been gifted to him long ago. How many battles had his dear friend seen? Far more than he had for sure, perhaps it would see far more when his time was over?

Sephiroth dismissed this notion with a smirk. “It’s almost time for the mission.” He stated glancing down at the blade that he was polishing. It would be a simple extraction. An import Scientist with some classified information needed a pick up in less than friendly territory. He was to escort them back to HQ. It wasn’t his usual assignment, but he did occasionally get ones like these when the TURKS had their hands full. 

He was alone for this assignment, riding in an empty train car until he reached his drop off point...

“Well that’s an interesting predicament…”

“How did you get yourself there?”

“Care to share how you wound up in this situation?”

“I don’t want to talk about how or why I’m here, just help.”

“You have a thoughtful look on your face.”

“You’re looking a little spacey.”

“I could elaborate, but I won’t.”

“Can you explain this to me one more time?”

“I have questions, and I doubt you have answers to them.”

“I don’t think any amount of explanation is going to save whatever headache this is giving me.”

“I don’t need to explain anything.”

“I could tell you what happened, but you will not believe me.”

“I would like to claim plausible deniability.”

“Nothing you say is going to make this any better.”

“I put a lot of thought into this.”

“I didn’t think this through.”

“I thought about this a lot and it still came out like this.”

“Sometimes I just need a quiet place to think.”

“You really thought this all out?”

“It’s difficult to have a spare moment to myself these days.”

“You look suspicious.”

“I have no idea what you’re referring to.”

“Do you just stare while you think?”

“You have a thoughtful look about you, something up?”

“Hmm… oh what? Sorry, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
