[ Not one he was thinking he'd send, either, but it never hurt to check in with people from home. ]

Just wanted to know what pages everyone's on.

He said you and Scarlet got into it and you fell into a mako reserve, and there was a run-in with Sephiroth. I dunno how much you know about other shit either, and I don't wanna make assumptions.

I don't know, I didn't ask.

All I know is that there are some things that I remember that the others don't, and that Aerith remembered them too, when she was here.

Alright, so what was the last thing going on when you were back home?

Also heard you got married, so belated congrats on tying the knot. Lucky guy.

I did WHAT? That's the first I've ever heard about this.

What did I get the wrong tip? Wild. Anyway, consider this a forward-dated congrats.

Unless you two break up. In which case, you've got my number if you need someone to disappear.

[He's not getting out of this so easily.]

What tip? And who exactly is giving you "tips" on me? Extremely wrong ones, in this case.

[Married??? Where and who in the hell—]

I don't kiss and tell! Besides, it could've just been a turn of phrase, and we're not exactly on the best speaking terms for me to know that.

That's sorta why I'm here now. Gotta clear things up, cause me and Blondie have matching timelines, but you and Aerith had matching timelines.

Let's try it this way so I don't step on your toes here. What's the last town you hit back home?

[>:( !!! She will just have to find out herself—]

Well.

[There are some things she's going to conveniently leave out, like her journey through the Lifestream that day, or what happened to Cloud, but she can at least share some of the other details?]

Just like you said: We were in Gongaga. Shinra and Scarlet showed up, but we managed to chase them off. That's the last thing I remember.

[ At least she can confirm Reno isn't a snitch!

And clearly he knows how to keep secrets, so he isn't going to go around running his mouth. If they were on better terms he'd tease her with it, but alas.. ]

But you got a nice heaping helping of Mako, and didn't see us there on the way to Gongaga.

[ And Aerith corroborated that. ]

Here's hoping you beat Scarlet's ass, I can't stand her. Anyway, so what was on the itinerary before you showed up here?

[They sure did kick Scarlet's ass. She only wishes that she would have kicked it a little more before she got away, but she had more important matters to tend to.]

We were following the men in the black robes. Figured they would lead us to Sephiroth.

[ Please tell Reno all about beating her ass in 4k HD detail. ]

Oh yeah, those guys.

[ He wrinkled his nose at his phone. Hojo had them running all over the fucking place to catalogue those things, not to mention the mess Evan got himself in because of those guys and his mom. ]

What cities had you hit?

So far? Kalm, Junon, Costa Del Sol, and Corel. Visited the Gold Saucer too, before heading to Gongaga.

[Wait—]

So why exactly do you wanna know all this?

I don't know what NOT to say if I don't know what the last thing you did was. Even that's shaky with the different stories, but it's better than nothing.

And partly cause something happened somewhere. It ain't that big of a deal, but I'd rather keep tabs on it in case something does come up. Plus it never hurts to have third parties in on this kinda thing.

Well, it is a pretty big deal if you're coming to me asking about timelines and all that. Has this "something" got anything to do with the rest of us?

It's not a big deal, and here's hoping it doesn't turn into one. I'm just getting the stories down so if something does happen, I'm not caught with my pants down.

As far as here goes, nothing yet. No news from me is good news. If I do come around with news, just get ready to batten the hatches and gird your loins.

What?

[She has no idea what he's talking about but she's not going to ask any more questions.]

Actually, never mind. Does that answer your questions?

Meaning hopefully the different stories don't become a problem, but I wanna be ready if they do.

Also meaning if catch sight of anything that might make problems for you, you guys'd be the first to hear about it, so not hearing from me is a good thing.

Nope, but it's good enough for now. Don't be a stranger. ;)

[Her fingers rest on the keys, a question sitting on the tip of her fingers and ready to be asked.

Do you know anything about a man named Vincent?

But she deletes it, deciding it's better that she doesn't. It was more curiosity than anything else, but it's none of her business.]

I'll try. Not like you don't know where to find me most days. But if anything comes up, you let us know.

Careful, I might actually start showing up more often. But yeah, I got you.

Alright. Try not to cause too much trouble in the meantime.

[And then, about ten seconds later:]

Take care.
