(OOC: Pardon me if I utterly rape the description of the Wutai landscape as I make my first RP post. I've played FFVII, but i've never had the attention span to even get past the first disc. >_<)
Sunlight struggles to get toward the forest floor, the growth of massive bamboo stalks block out nearly everything beneath their massive leaves, coating the decaying floor with an eerie green light as it floods through the plants. Suddenly, a blinding light reflecting off of an object appears, and with a soft metallic slice a huge line of bamboo stalks are sliced perfectly in half. the shining object curves back and slices through another row of stalks before stopping in a gloved hand, revealing itself to be what looks like an oversized shuriken.
Yuffie Kisaragi smiled to herself, giggling alone in the forest. The soft laughter echoed through the trees, and she quickly picked up all of the cut stalks and tied them into a bundle. Carrying them on her shoulders, she began her walk back into her home.
Another day, I suppose... She thought to herself as she walked out of the forest and into Wutai village. Although the old relics of the homeland were beginning to crumble, the people stayed strong. Children played in the streets, women did laundry, and men trained while the elders played a game much like chess in front of their homes. She couldn't help but smile at everything. Even if she was out of the way of adventure for a while, this was home, and a home like this could never be truly boring.

(OOC: Gwah!!! Me likes your RP style!! Ok, I know Vincent is in Nibelheim right now but I dont care if people go elsewhere....its easier to keep an RP going this way....)
A dark, brooding man, seeming utterly out of place in the simple town of Wutai. He wore all black, covered by a red, tattered cloak. The man 's face looked almost feminine but the rest of him was all male. Despite the man's look of stoic indifference, his eyes sparkled with interest. He watched his surroundings as if he was treasuring every moment of the simple town. The things Yuffie Kisaragi found boring and uninteresting, the man seemed to find utterly interest.
Vincent stopped in front of the slight girl, looking down at her cheery form and couldn't help but feel slightly warmer in her presence. She radiated pure happiness. He could tell she was one of those people that found happiness wherever they looked, delighting in almost everything around them.

(OOC: Does it matter that much, though? It's kind of hard to have an rpg going in several different places when only 3 people are online with one character each...)
Yuffie had been looking down at the grass as she walked when she noticed a pair of black leather boots sitting in front of her. Slightly confused she removed her burden of bamboo stalks and looked up, almost gasping when she saw the eyes of such a handsome man. Although dark and brooding, the newcomer seemed to make the young ninja blush. "Is there something I can help you with, sir?" She asked him sheepishly, her gaze turning downward again as she feebly tried to hide her reddening cheeks.

(OOC: Yessa!!! You got it, Mystic. And tecnically, Vincent can bilocate....Muhahahaaa!! Shinra experimentation!! Awww, I love how Yuffie is embarrassed!! In the game, she never robs him, and she listens to him...in AC, she blushed when he talked!!! Im liking where this is going!!)
Vincent couldn't help but noticed the girl before him and how her heartrate had drastically increased as her eyes met his and the sudden red coloring of her cheeks. No one had ever looked at him in that manner before. The only looks he had remembered recieving were that of curiousity, fear and mocking, never a look of...was it adoration? The girl before him, in her shorts and suspenders, was utterly confusing to him.
He had come to the village of Wutai years befor in his quest for answers and he had met an older woman who seemed to know him. She was one of the village elders, predicting the crops success rate each year. Then he had taken her words as just the words of a seanile old woman but know he wasn't so sure. Upon meeting Sephiroth he had thought back to his encounter with the woman and her warning to him. He had come here to find her, hoping she was still alive so he could question her about her earlier warning to him. With luck, this girl before him would know of who he spoke and lead him to her.

Yuffie was almost shaking as she sat there anticipating the man's reply. Confused that he was saying nothing, she looked up and frowned to see that he seemed to be staring into space. She took a step foreward, stood on her tip-toes, and waved a gloved hand close to his face.
"Sir, are you awake?" She asked as her cheeks returned to their normal color.. "It isn't polite to stay so silent when someone's asking you a question..."

{OOC: Woa..I forgot to speak last post...oops, suppose it fits though....Oh, I know I made Vince very 'old fashioned' in terms of his speach and mannerism but since he says so little in the game, and he does speak rather properly, I thought he would act proper as well.... )
Vincent came abruptly came into the present, seeing a small gloved hand flittering in front of his face. Immediately, he realized his mistake. Speaking in his low, melodic voice, Vincent replied, "Sorry, young miss, I seemed to have gotten lost in my own thoughts. I am looking for an elderly woman...perhaps your village seer or something of the sort? I understand I have just acted extremely rudely. Is there anythis that can remedy my bad manners and put me back into your good graces, Miss.....?" Vincent hated himself for his own rudeness in front of a young lady. It must have shown that he did not interact with people much. He had to make it up to this eccentric girl before him, he could not bare for her to think of him as some sort of monster. He had heard that enough times. He did not need it from this seemingly sweet and kind girl before him.

The girl picked up the bundle of bamboo and carried it on her back again. "Yuffie Kisaragi. Just call me Yuffie." She glanced over at two boys who were "swordfighting" each other with long sticks and laughed softly at their awkward movements. "Don't worry about an apology: I understand. I space out sometimes too. I'm not sure if this woman lives here anymore, but maybe if you gave me her name I could tell you for sure." She sighed softly and looked up at him, his dark eyes making her blush once more. "Speaking of names, what's yours? I've already told you mine, after all. The nice thing would be to tell me yours in return."

(OOC: I created the old woman so the name is my own...)
d**n, what is it with me today? I am just getting ruder and ruder!!
Vincent cautiously over his shoulder, a habit he had not outgrown since his days as Shinra's guinea pig. He looked just to be sure a Shinra member was not lurking in the shadows to pull him back into the shadows. Seeing no-one who looked threatening to him, he shook his head, thinking his own thoughts ridiculous. "Vincent. My name is Vincent Valentine. I am sorry I forgot to mention it before. I am looking for a woman by the name of Neerija...last I saw her, she predicted something, something I would like to ask her about now." Vincent realized how silly his own words sounded, and quickly tried to explain. "I mean, it was years ago and I thought nothing of it, but now I am starting to think she was trying to tell me something important...It is foolish, I know, but it is all I have to go on regarding the current situation." I am probably scaring her now..... Changing the topic, suddenly, Vincent asked, "Well, Yuffie, is it right? Is this your home village? Have you ever been to lands outside of here?"

Yuffie smiled, nodding quickly. "Yes, Wutai is my home. I've been all over though, of course. I am a materia hunter, after all." She nearly cringed at her words, but managed to hide it.
Materia hunter!? who the heck am I kidding? All I do is steal from unsuspecting people...ah well. What this guy doesn't know won't hurt him I guess...
Noticing the sudden discomfort between the two, The young ninja coughed a bit and looked up into Vincent's dark eyes again. "Soo, you're looking for Neerija? She's a nice lady...She's still around, but i'm not sure if she'll be able to talk with you. She just got over a nasty cold a few weeks ago, and last I heard she was still a bit weak from it. You can go and see her if you'd like: Her hut is just over there." raising a small arm, she pointed a dainty finger in the direction of an older hut on the other side of the village. It crawled with vines, and a rather obese-looking tabby cat slept atop it. She laughed upon noticing his expression over the look of the house. "Don't worry, it won't fall apart or anything. That's probably the strongest hut in the entire village. I can take you there, if you like. I have to deliver some of these bamboo shoots to Neerija anyway."

"Thank you, I would appreciate that very much." As he stepped closer to Yuffie, the corners of his mouth pulled up in a small smile. "So, a materia hunter? Does that mean I should keep my cloak close by?" Vincent asked, poking fun at the girl's "profession". It wasn't that he really minded, after all, he had nothing of value that she could steal...and she seemed like a nice enough girl.

(OOC: It's okay. I've been the culprit of shorter posts. ) Yuffie laughed, her cheeks becoming red again as she realized that her new friend was teasing her. "No, of course not. I'd never steal from a newcomer, especially not in my homeland." She smiled and adjusted the burden on her back so it would be easier to carry, then looked back up at him. "So, Vincent...I don't mean to pry, but i'm just curious. What did Neerija predict for you all those years ago? I mean, I know she's a really good oracle...but what made you decide to come back and ask her something again?"

I remember this village......THE village....the village I spared.. The one winged Angel thought as he walked slowly down the main street of the village, people moving out of his way in shock as it seemed their would-be conqueror had returned to haunt them yet again. Children ran, old men and women alike scuttled to a fro just to get away from this deadly SOLDIER. Nothing has changed..... he thought as he walked slowly up to the shrine at the head of the village.

Yuffie knew why everyone began to scatter before she heard the frightened screams of the children. The people of Wutai were strong, and little was enough to frighten any of her people, especially enough to scream. She was very young when she had heard the screams last time, but old enough to remember the names and faces of whatever people had caused it. She stopped, shivering slightly, but had the courage to turn around and see who was walking past them to the shrine on the other edge of town. The long hair, the angelic features. Yuffie knew only one person who could ever be so formidable, yet look so attractive.
"S-Sephiroth..." Her frightened voice squeaked softly as she watched the man walk past. She had been naive and unafraid the first time, but she had grown since then. For the first time in her life, she was afraid of someone.

Sephiroth took no heed of the little girl that seemed to trace his movements with her stare hmrph....these people do not even notice when I am angered or whether there is nothing to fear from me....odd.... His thoughts were interrupted by him slamming head on into the little girl. (OOC: ie Yuffie) Undaunted Sephiroth caught her before she fell to the ground and in the same motion stood her straight back up and continued walking. troublesome people...they dont even watch where they are going... The black trench coat billowed in the wind that had sprung up spontaneously since he had arrived and his silvery locks seemed to dance in the breeze as Sephiroth walked up the steps to the temple and with a single easy gesture flung open the heavy mythril doors and calmly walked inside. I...I must see...if anything has changed since the last time I was here..... he thought to himself.
