video β’ un: y
Date: 26th Octeuril
Format: Video
( The video feed shivers into life to show a static image of a ceiling. This is Yazoo's second attempt to reach a family that he hasn't figured out isn't here, but he isn't ready to give up just yet! Sephiroth didn't make his Remnants that way, after all, and he has no plans to entertain the idea of being without his brothers. )
... Kadaj? ( A beat. ) Loz?
( The voice that breaks the momentary silence is soft and a little dreamy, his words spoken as though he's having difficulty organising his thoughts. He isn't pleased by the fact that he has to resort to this to reach his brothers: he's spent days looking for them, encouraged by the gentle pull of two more cellular signatures that match his own, and yet ... )
I know you're here. I can feel you.
( Eventually he'll learn that it isn't Kadaj or Loz he can feel at all, but until then? He's going to keep trying. )
Big Brother is with me, butβ ( He thinks of the Sephiroth that he's slowly getting to know β a near stranger, nothing like the man he was in the splintered memories Yazoo holds in the back of his mind. When he speaks again it's with an edge of something like concern: ) There's something wrong with him. He needs help.
( The image finally tilts to show a young man with long silver hair, unnaturally bright eyes with slit pupils, and lips ever so slightly downturned with displeasure. )
... If what they say about Bonding is true, I need help too. I don't want a weak human.
( He leans in closer, his hair slipping forwards around his face as those strange eyes bore into the camera. )
Find me.
no subject
[Not that this man seems to have a surname at all, which makes things a little awkward. He could offer to let him call him "Brother Wen" or something similar, but that might not jive with someone who is literally looking for their brothers right now.
He smiles again instead.]
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Yazoo.
no subject
( Wen Qionglin, then. Yazoo offers a brief nod before brushing aside the man's effort at formal politeness: )
Just Yazoo.
( He doesn't like the idea of sounding any closer to the humans he disdains; Mother's children are beyond that, and he doesn't want to be mistaken for something less than what he is. A beat passes before the Remnant speaks up again, evidently interested in getting straight to the point of why they're meeting like this. )
So. You're a Witch without a Bond, and I am a Monster without a Bond.
( He tilts his head just a little as he peers at him, curiosity beginning to flicker through in his eyes and on his lips. )
Are you hoping that we might become friendly?
no subject
I figure it... doesn't hurt to try. If we end up not getting along we can try something else.
[Most of his friends here have their own relationships that he doesn't want to butt into. If they bring it up he'll agree for sure, but it would be best for him to at least try and find one on his own without their help.]
no subject
( It doesn't hurt to try.
It might surprise Wen Ning to learn that such an outlook isn't one that had crossed Yazoo's mind - not after having spent so long knowing, deep down in his cells, that Reunion is all that matters. Anything that slowed their progress was harmful, if not to themselves then to Mother, but in this place? Mother isn't here. He can't find his brothers. Sephiroth's is a stranger to him, and his tolerance of him is begrudging at best.
Maybe this man is right. Maybe "trying" is something he'll simply resign himself to having to do. )
... Alright.
( Cagey as always, but at least he hasn't simply turned back around and walked away. )
Would you like to walk with me?
no subject
[There's not much else for them to start with, is there? Walking and talking is basic enough. It doesn't seem like either of them is particularly verbose and Wen Ning knows he's lacking in the social department. He's getting better at it, but he's still not great.
So this walk might be awkward. All the same, it's bound to be better than sitting around in similar awkwardness. At least this way there will be more to focus on.]
Is there anywhere you wanted to go? I... I only know the way to a few places by heart. I'm still learning my way around.
