Backdated to Mid-June - First half action open for Rufus, Reno, and Rude, second half network for anybody else who wants to reply!

[ Tseng's first night in Nippon did not go at all as he initially thought after leaving the orientation provided to him upon his arrival. He spent the first few hours walking around Tokyo, trying to get the layout of the land, take in as much as he possibly could before retiring to his assigned housing for the night... He didn't expect to run into Rufus Shinra. And that chance encounter changed everything.

They spent the night together, getting reacquainted, relaxing, and Rufus telling him everything he has yet to experience in their own world. The things Rufus told him sounded positively ridiculous, but he knows Rufus wouldn't lie to him... It was overwhelming and will likely take Tseng a while to process.

He wakes mid-morning, pulling on the pajama pants he was given the night before and a t-shirt, and leaves Rufus asleep before heading downstairs to bring some coffee and breakfast back up to their room. He quietly descends the stairs and sees the Turks. ]


Reno. Rude.

[ He offers a small smile and a nod as he passes by, disappearing into the kitchen. ]

----

[ Once he's back upstairs and settled on the bed, he pulls out his magi-comm, studying the device before turning it on. It's certainly no smartphone, but it will suffice. ]

I'm looking for a few individuals and was told this is the best and quickest way possible to get their attention. [ He looks over at Rufus, who is off-screen, briefly ] If you know Zack Fair or Aerith Gainsborough, please tell them I'm looking for them and would love to talk.

[Life hadn't been bad. He had Rude. They had Rufus. More than that, Rufus was okay - he wasn't sick anymore, something that almost seemed impossible back home. There were a lot of positives they were working with here. The main thing they were missing was their full crew.

Sure, someone could say they were missing 'their home' or whatever. Reno didn't have zero attachment to it, but most of what they knew had already blown up and they could rebuild wherever they wanted. Might as well be here.

And they'd done well considering there were three of them plus some extra SOLDIERs - most of whom had quit and one of whom could become a planet destroyer. So he was relaxed in the kitchen with Rude, where they hadn't yet gotten a memo about Tseng's arrival.

He almost didn't react when Tseng walked in and acknowledged them. Not because he expected Tseng to be on this world, but it was so familiar to being back at home that it didn't click instantly that Tseng had arrived.]


Boss.

[And he sipped his drink.

It was a few seconds later when he had an epiphany. Tseng? He slowly glanced over to make sure he wasn't having mid-morning drunken hallucinations.

Well. That was Tseng all right. The perplexed expression on his face said enough about what he was feeling - of all the Turks he probably showed his emotions the most plainly.]


Wait–

[He eyed Tseng.]

You have pajamas?

[Tseng wore stuff other than suits?!]

[well. There's a face Zack both expected and didn't expect to see. Say a guy will show up sooner or later and it'll come true. Though with Rufus and the Turks here, he really shouldn't have doubted that it was a "when", not "if"]

Well, that depends. Information like that isn't free, you know!

[of course he's going to be a smartass about it]

[ Sephiroth isn't an expressive person but somehow his displeasure is clear. It's in the sharpness of his gaze if nothing else. ]

What do you want with Aerith?

[ The lack of pleasantries could be considered a clue from anyone else, but it can be hard to tell what is just Sephiroth being socially dense. ]

[ Shit. They're multiplying. ...is his kneejerk reaction to seeing this jackass' face. The last time he saw him, he was effectively taunting him and the others beneath a collapsing plate. 'Condemned', huh... ]

...

[ And still, he sighs, an edge of frustration in his breath as he schools his features before finally answering, turning the camera on to record. There he is, Tseng. ]

This is public. They'll see it soon enough.

[Rufus woke up to an empty bedroom in the morning, peering around as he puts together the pieces of what happened last night. It had all seemed so real but he saw no sign of Tseng as he sits up to look around the room.

Perhaps he really is losing it- last night felt so real as if Tseng was really there. If he reaches out to touch the spot next to him on the bed, it almost feels warm as if he had just gotten up and was just getting ready for the day in the next room.

Laying around in bed isn't going to make last night anymore real if he did just imagine it all, he's not going to give himself the chance to get sentimental that he misses Tseng. There are things to do and sitting around in bed wasn't going to change that.

But he had only started to push back the blankets when the door opened and there was Tseng holding coffee and a plate of food as if it was just another morning. There is no denying the relief that floods through him and he smiles, patting the spot next to him on the bed for Tseng.]


Breakfast in bed - this must be a really special occasion.
