Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Oh.

And what would the topic of conversation be?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

It can be anything in particular.

We can talk about you, life on the Barge...things you would like to experience here.

Small talk, if you'd like.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Why all about me? Shouldn't I get to know you?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

If you'd like! Feel free to ask me things.

I'm not sure it'll be interesting but if you want to!

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

What is your home like?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Oh, well! It's a nice place. My home has a lot of people interacting with each other, and there's always something happening.

What about you? Whats your home like?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Quiet. Peaceful now, at least. Though I can hardly return.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Really? How come?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Well, I am dead, aren't I?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

As is every inmate, or were going to be.

That doesn't mean you can't live again.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

I left too much hurt behind. I think I'd rather start new.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Oh? Mind if I ask what happened?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

A mutiny gone awry, I'm afraid.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

A mutiny? That sounds pretty dangerous.

Was it on you, or were you the one carrying it out?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Neither. I was caught in the middle.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

That sounds awful. How did everything get resolved? It doesn't sound like anything is...peaceful.

Not really.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Like I said, it is now. It wasn't then.

Good prevails over evil, as it should. The great beast of a general had to see that he had been putting his own interests over that of his men. His favorite ensign was demoted. And the world can go as it should.

Do you have war, where you're from?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Yes, we do.

When I was a child, there was a war of one...power against another. A country named Wutai.

Wutai no longer exists as it was.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Oh? What happened?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Shinra sent out their strongest and crushed them like another would fruit.

I don't really remember all the details. But...Wutai was brought in and couldn't do what it did before, especially for gathering energy.

It was a resource grab, after all.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

And which side were you on?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

The Shinra side, I guess. I didn't take part or anything- I would be too young.

But I heard it from adults and the news.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Everyone is on a side. Sometimes they just don't realize it.

What is life like now?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

For awhile it was quiet. But things have picked up again, but that's not war.

What was life like before the mutiny?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Mundane, fortunately. Nothing of note.

[He laughs.]

I'm sorry. I am not the best storyteller.
