[Cloud is lying on a bench in the central plaza, rather late at night. He could be sleeping, but sleeping people usually don't bleed all over creation or have a five-foot ridiculous-looking broadsword sticking out of their side. Of course, that's kind of hard to tell in the darkness, sooo...]

[It's late and it's dark, but Raine has spent all day in various parts of the village, so it only makes sense that she'd be heading back towards home now, passing through the square to do so.

There's something unpleasant on the air... blood? There's a certain scent that comes with those familiar with battle, and it seems to be coming from that bench. Another victim?

No-]


Cloud?

[Cloud's not quite conscious; or at least, not to the point of jumping up and greeting Raine. Yazoo had actually gone as far as to mutilate him as well, though he left his face intact. ...yeah, remnant's got a lot of rage.]

[She immediately holds her hand out over him, chanting gently:]

First aid. [She knows that won't do much, but she wants to make some attempt at stabilizing him while checking over his wounds. It's dark and his wounds are messy. Very messy. And he needs to be somewhere clean where things are stable and she certainly doesn't have the strength for that on her own.

But she's going to see what she can do to heal him first, that's the most important.]

[Faintly aware of healing magic -not quite like what he's used to, but familiar enough- Cloud coughs and grimaces when that hurts. His eyes flutter open and for a second he thinks he's blind, but then focus comes a bit later and he just realizes that it's dark. His eyes adjust.

Wow it's cold.

Both instincts and previous experience tells him that if he wakes up somewhere unfamiliar in terrible pain that he should try to get up. So he slowly attempts to do just that; he doesn't manage much more than putting his hand down and it slipping on blood to drop him back into the bench. He hisses and croaks.]


...Ow.

[Well shit, okay then. He slumps back down on the bench -because she told him to, not because he couldn't hold himself up any more all right- and closes his eyes for a moment.

Then opens them again. The healing spell had made him lucid enough that he could finally start piecing together who he was actually talking to.]
...Raine...?

It's too bad that someone came to save the guy, but it's good to see that the murderers or someone else is still having their fun. He'll just sit up here and watch what's going on down below.]

[Thankfully the bleeding's slowed, and there are doctors and stuff here. And Raine needs to rest before she collapses.

...but Cloud doesn't know this person and he's in a lab coat. Immediate frowny face over here as he tries to sit up and scoot away a bit, a hand on his side. His arm is shaking and he's probably due to black out soon, but damn if he's not going to try.]

No. [The running commentary, the smell of antiseptics and cleaners and blood in the room, his coat- hell, even the fact that he has black hair is just making Cloud's skin crawl. He wants this over and done with ASAP, so he can get the hell away from this guy.]

[After Cloud's had some time to rest, he's going to be getting a visitor. He's fairly quiet, but doesn't attempt to hide his presence when he enters the room. He's an imposing figure, but honestly, Cloud's probably not going to be unnerved by a guy dressed like a bat. But his tone's all business, despite how he might look. He keeps his voice down, but he's definitely serious. He takes no aggressive actions and is keeping his hands in plain view.]

...Cloud Strife? We need to talk. About The Remnants of Sephiroth.

[OoC: Sorry I'm so late in posting this. I've just been pretty fail and forgot to do this in a more timely manner, and this is a more logical time to have him show up, given the League's interest in stopping the Remnants.]

[Maybe it's because he's sensitive -or maybe it's just warrior instincts- but Cloud hates having strangers nearby when he's too weak to properly defend himself. So even with the passive posture and tone, Cloud tenses and narrows his eyes.

Then the guy in the...well, the "impressive" ensemble mentions the Remnants and he relaxes marginally. It's to be expected; someone's going to take care of it. ...do what he can't. Ugh.]

[He's going to cut right to the chase. Cloud's hurt, and he doesn't want to waste his time. He's going to tell him what he knows.]

Weaknesses. I'm well aware of their psychological instability and that they are acting out of a childish arrogance in a futile attempt to bring their brother back. I need to know of any other weaknesses they might have that can be exploited.

...And are they currently capable of casting any magic?

[Cloud closes his eyes.

Damn it, Kadaj.

He opens them and stares down at the blankets as he speaks in the flattest tone possible.]


Yazoo is largely long-range, uses a gun called Velvet Nightmare that doubles as a short sword. When I fought with him though, he was moving...strange. He purposefully let me get a hit in to get in close-range. And I don't know how, but his bullets have magic properties now. [He pauses to take a deep breath, then continues.]

I wouldn't know about Kadaj. If he's got materia or if he's done any of that spirit stuff, then he can. It'd be safe to assume they're capable of some of it anyway. As for any weaknesses he might have...nothing really obvious. Best you can do is just disarm him and work from there, since as far as I know he doesn't know any hand-to-hand off the top of his head.

[No physical weaknesses. That's not good news. Given the sort of people here in Luceti, it's not a surprise. It's still unfortunate that there was no easy way to bring them down, but since when have things ever been easy since he joined the Justice League? Hopefully ridding them both of their weapons would be enough.]

Materia. How is it used for spellcasting? Does it require concentration and focus to cast with?
