[01] || [Discovery] || [Open]
Characters: Cid and you.
Setting: Room 2-04, the workshop, cafeteria and anywhere else.
Format: Starting with prose, but will match.
Summary: Cid awakens in the Tower. Appropriate canon point means his world being destroyed makes a lot of sense. He then goes off to explore the tower and discover with horror what they've done to the tea in this horrible, horrible place.
Warnings: %^$@#$%@#!!
• Dormitories Floor (Room 2-04)
To some people, the thought that your world may have been destroyed makes absolutely no sense. But to Cid, it actually made a whole lot sense. Mind you, last thing he could remember, the meteor was crashing into the planet-- And while both Holy and the Lifestream were working at stopping it, there was no saying as to whether or not it had worked.
Guess that letter settled it. It had not worked.
Not that it really made that much sense though, since if his world had indeed been destroyed, nobody should have been able to rescue him. Well, guess there was only one way to get some straight answers. Grumbling, he went through his trunk's content and grabbed his equipment-- With his speak noticeably broken into pieces, thank you tower, before heading out. This smelt like something Shinra would do, and he needed answers.
• Cafeteria (Day 2)
Like everyone else, Cid had gone through his oatmeal the day before, but not without an healthy amount of swearing. Who in the world would want to eat oatmeal? Certainly not him. This tower was clearly as bad as it looked. He was a bit more enthusiast today though, as he had seen the other meals offered by the tower and they didn't look half as bad. He went for the pancakes first-- And then grimaced.
"... Pumpkin pancakes?" he left the pancake aside after one bite and moved on to take a bit of the roasted seeds-- Only to stop halfway in and brush the dish aside as well. "... Pumpkin flavored seeds."
The hell was up with that? At least they provided him with tea, they were decent enough, right? Not what he thought any more after drinking it.
"Goddamn pumpkin tea!" he slammed the cup on the table "$^@#*$ù%!! Why is everything infected with pumpkin in this damn cafeteria?!"
• Workshop (15th Floor)
At some point Cid found the workshop and stayed in it. The Tower had been nice enough to provide him with his weapon of choice, a spear, namely the "Venus Gospel". But unfortunately, it had been broken into pieces so as to fit into his trunk, pretty much killing the whole point of having a spear as weapon.
But no matter, he'd decided to take the matter into his own hands. Using whatever good metal he could find around, heating the spear's pieces and hammering them, he started working on putting the pieces back together into a coherent whole. He had made his first spear himself after all, fixing a broken one shouldn't be beyond his capabilities. It was tough and tiring to do, though.
• Random Corridors
You'll find Cid exploring the tower for the next couple days with his spear in hand and ready to cast a spell at the first sign of trouble. This tower got a lot of floors, too many if you asked him, but given he couldn't leave anytime soon he'd rather get to know the various floors.

[ Or rather he wasn't sure to remember him-- He clearly remembered Sephiroth and his latest memory of the psychopath was his one-winged-angel form. And of course they kicked his winged ass just as they had meant to. But a tiny Sephiroth? Not sure how it fitted in it all.
Until Sephiroth starts talking 'bout another Gaia and living with Vincent. Cue wide eyes and waving at the kid to stop talking. ]
W-Wow! Stop righ' there kid and wait a damn second! [He paused and scratched the back of his head] Another Gaia? With Vince? *$^&@ç#! Start with the beginnin' and tell me who the hell you are.
[ The kid looked like a tiny Sephiroth but he couldn't be... Right? ]
no subject
Yes, we come from different worlds and may have experienced different versions of events.
[He tensed, but made no move for his weapon. He wasn't sure what the truth was in his world, let alone in the world this Cid was from. He was still willing to be rational. He spoke very carefully.]
I am Sephiroth. Vincent Valentine is my guardian.
no subject
[ Well that was weird, but at least he didn't look dangerous. ... Not too dangerous rather, when compared to his bigger and homicidal self.
Cid still was not too sure how to explain that, so the idea of different versions of events sounded like the best possible explanation. Still sounded a bit strange to him, but everything in this place so far did. ]
Two different versions of events sounds 'bout right. Can't say I remember anything about Vince bein' your guardian.
[ One of those who kicked Sephiroth's ass, yes, but guardian that was a new one. ]
no subject
[Technically, he is a child, so it's not a lie to say so, in spite of his--irregularities. Although he remembers events from later in his life, they are images he's detached from. He doesn't have the same feelings. His mindset remains that of his child self, just with additions.]
You will remember Sephiroth as your enemy. I have met the other Sephiroth here. My world is different.
[He's not sure how much to reveal, so he leaves the situation vague.]
It was Mr. Tuesti's idea that I remain with Mr. Valnetine. When I am older, I will join the WRO.
[He's not at all as certain of this as he once was, especially not if those he trusted plan to betray him. He's not used to lying, but he does it easily.]
