[Horst is in his supah fine Victorian clothes, twirling his hat idly] Right. I guess I'll get this started.

[Throat clear. Kneel in front of the PCD.] The holidays are upon us and I have a parade to run. Cloud Strife, I'm on my knees asking you to come and have fun. If you're really good, I can see to it that Santa tosses a candy cane in your direction. It just won't be the same if you're not there, so please, come.

I can't get over how kinky you are. Is Rei really up to handling you?

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Is sex all you think about?

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Mm. That and money. I don't suppose you've ever had any of that, either, though.

[You wouldn't think it'd be hard work to appear shallow, but man it is a full time job.]

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I was mercenary back home.

[Boy owns a villa in a beach side down, okay?]

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Which means you also had loads of opportunity to meet beautiful women, but...nothing? Are you sure you know which way you swing?

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I had someone I was interested in.

[Voice]

[Horst blinks, and then laughs--but it's not his usual very obnoxious meant-to-piss-you-off way] You are an old man in a young man's body, you know that?

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how wrong you are.

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh? Young men don't tend to take commitment seriously. Especially not when they stand a good chance of not getting caught misbehaving.

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Guess I was brought up differently then.

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Yes. As an old man rather than a young one. It's nice when we agree, isn't it?

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

No, I was taught to be respectful to women. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...So was I, that's not what I meant. You can be with several people without commitment, and still respect them.

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I never said I hadn't been.

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh? You do have a player's past, then? You must have started young.

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I went into the army at fourteen. [Then kind of... lost five years.]

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[You can't tell, but he nods softly] That...sounds like how my homeland is.

[Voice]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you're army's not like ours.

[Voice]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...I hope not. When did you get out?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

I didn't. I was... taken by a scientist and used as an experiment.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Experiment...the mako?

Along with cells from a two thousand year old calamity.

[Why in the bloody hell is he telling you this, Horst?]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure but he's not complaining. Because he actually LIKES YOU it's a secret though.]

A calamity...? As in a tragic, huge event? The embodiment of it?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

Closest thing to it.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Why would they do that? I understand demented, inhuman people do terrible things but--scientists usually have some sort of logic. However twisted.
