[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.

Didn't Vinny tell you ? We're not coming anyway.

[The smirk slowly disappears, and Vincent's eyes go back to their original red color and his pupils take on their normal shape again. The man just ... stares at the feed, face blank, as if the previous exchange had never happened.]

[Horst stares curiously at Vincent for a while] I don't reckon you ever get lonely.

[If only ... Vincent only raises an eyebrow.]

Your roommate makes quite an impression. [He sounds flippant, but his expression is anything but.]

He tends to.

Does he have a name?

... Chaos.

...In opposition to Cosmos...?

In opposition to nothing. He's just an entity with a role to fulfill. That's it.

Fair enough. Does that mean he's not the one at war with Cosmos?

Who's Cosmos ?

Ahh...never mind then! [Time for a quick change of topic!] What all do you do here to keep busy? Since it seems you avoid crowds.

...

[He won't elaborate, because Chaos is a fairly common name for ... well a lot of things, and it probably evoked something he has no idea about.]

That's no business of yours.

It's a friendly question. You seem an interesting bloke, should I pretend I'm not curious?

[Good Lord, is everyone here like Cloud?]

You can be curious all you want.

[Meaning, he has no intentions to satisfy that curiosity.]

[Dry smile] You're so shy, Vinny. It's not in the spirit of the holiday. Hasn't anyone got you a present?

[He'll just stare. Because 1) you want to get him a present for a holiday he doesn't celebrate, and 2), you just called him 'Vinny'. There are only a handful of people who can call him that, and you're not one of them, Horst.]

[And Horst will just smile back in that maddening way he always smiles at Cloud, because you're almost as much fun as his dear blond friend.] Don't tell me you're turning away a charitable offer? Are you a misanthrope?

[Blink.

The feed gets cut abruptly, showing onyl static.]
