Son of a-! That hurt, damn it!

[[Deep breath.]]

Okay...okay...Elena of the Turks here, reporting a possible post-Meteor magnetic storm. I thought those stupid things were over already. Requesting backup and medical assistance at co-ordinates...uh...you can just ping my phone, right?

[[Sound of phone opening, then clicking shut.]]

Uhn, on second thoughts, forget that. My phone's broken. But it wasn't my fault this time! So can somebody please triangulate my position? Please?

...

Reno? Rude?

Anybody?

I might really be younger now -- the last thing I remember was definitely before you were in the Turks. But we all take orders from Tseng, so as far as I'm concerned, that puts us on the same foot.

So how long have you been a Turk? It's so strange.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Um, I've been a Turk for several months. But I've learned a lot!

But I agree, Tseng is the best leader we've ever had. Don't tell Reno I said that, though.

Hey, why can't you remember? Did you lose your memory?

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Nope. Apparently I'm behind the times. I was on a mission to stop an experiment from returning to Midgar and I -- woke up here. But everyone else remembers things that happened months and years after that.

No offense to Reno, but he's not what I think of when I think of great leader material.

-- Hey. Are you trying to hurt my feelings?

If you girls want to gossip, you might want to do it in private.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

I said no offense, didn't I?

[riotinstereo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. Just watch it, I'm still working on getting a raise when I get back.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

We'll see if you can make me eat those words -- sir.

[riotinstereo.livejournal.com]

We'll see? I never knew you were so hard to impress.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

You know what they say. A rose by any other name...

[riotinstereo.livejournal.com]

What's that?

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Yep. Still Reno.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

You heard all that? How did you hear all that?

Tseng said there's a private setting or something? Which button do you push?

[[Sound or frantic random button pushing]]

Private;

[riotinstereo.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Huh? Woke up here?

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

This place is called Nuadoria. It's not on Gaea, and there's no way to leave voluntarily.

Charming, I know.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Wha...?

Is this some kind of test?

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

Not from me, that's for sure. If I were testing you, I'd steal your phone and leave you with a blunt head injury to make clear thinking more difficult. But breaking someone's PHS is sacrilege.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Gah...don't scare me like that. It's bad enough feeling dizzy with a phone that won't pick up my location.

I'd pass that test though. I'm pretty sure I'm skilled enough. I think.

But I don't think you'd do that to me. You seem nice.

[spysincera.livejournal.com]

I like to think I am nice. I'm sure you'd pass, too, Elena. I'd probably give you some hints anyway.

I can give you hints now, even. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks for that.

I'll probably take you up on that, although I can't really think of anything to ask you at the moment. It sometimes felt a bit lonely being the only female in the Turks so I'm glad to know someone who's done it before.
