Yes, someone I'm quite familiar with shared his vision with me and it... triggered, I suppose, the same vision, though from a different perspective. I saw him, I heard him, it was the exact same person in every way -- except we didn't know each other, and it felt as if we were worlds apart.
[So to say.]
I'd seen him before in a previous one, but I thought that perhaps it was just someone who looked similar... While parallel worlds are my favored theory, I'm not exactly sure if even that is right.
...This is quite the first conversation to have with someone you've just met. Though I can't say I mind - I find the entire process fascinating, if a bit unsettling at times.
I'm sorry, I simply find it easier to speak with strangers. There's a certain appeal in the fact that this may be our only time speaking to one another.
[and he's just kind of like a grandma in a grocery store when it comes to talking to people. look politely interested and you are in for some conversation with very little escape.]
What do you find fascinating about it? Simply that things trigger these visions in the first place, or is it something else?
[Off they go to the chocobo racing! It's a bit of a walk and even more of a line, but at least it shouldn't take them too long to get in. Of course, there are tortoises nearby that are uh... Fulfilling their base instincts, so the next several minutes are going to be long and awkward for everyone involved.]
[...You know what, this is worth it for the sake of hearing the six-year-old child loudly declaring that they're fighting, while every adult in the vicinity awkwardly goes "...Yes, yes they are, now let's go"-
[God, nature's great, and Silver's apparently twelve years old, given that he's trying really hard to look dignified and absolutely not do something like laugh at the plight of the nearby adults.
Either way, their wait is over; it's not terribly expensive, and before long, they're being escorted to The Birds.
...Along with a few other random people and their birds, but who cares about them.]
[...You know, upon second thought, this is like eight and a half feet of bird and he has no fucking idea what he's doing and he's just going to stare at it because uh- ]
If this thing throws me, it's being ended right here and now.
[...They're huge. Horses were never this big, right? Not that he's ever really seen a horse up this close, either...]
Come on, cheer up. We could be that guy.
[He tilts his head lightly in the direction of the poor sap that got the massive fat chocobo that looks like it's going to crush you because of its stroke.]
[That said, they're going to be helped up and given basic instructions on how to not fuck this up, basically; they're brief instructions, and they're generally given with the understanding that you have half a fucking clue what you're doing, which neither of them do.
This is gonna be fun.]
You ready?
[He sure as fuck isn't. Despite that, it's already a lot of fun being up here.]
Nothing terribly unusual, although I've found myself spending entirely too much time with your mildly insane German neighbor lately. He's an...experience.
[He steamrolls Wesker into spending time with him rather easily, um.]
[Knees or shins, mostly. He's already determined that going for punches is probably just going to get him grabbed before he can do anything, so kicking sounds slightly better.]
[You are a determined individual, good lord. That said, you're more than able to connect with his shin, given that he's using that to ensure that he's not getting his damn knee kicked in - he's tall and he likes having knees, knees are good things. So he'll be using it to try to block whatever Shuji is doing there; if he manages...well, as soon as he's ensured the block has gone through he's going to be shifting forward for the sake of trying to knee the poor kid in the abdomen.
...I am so sorry about everything he's decided to be.]
[Shuji is doing his best. That said, all the determination in the world won't keep him from getting the wind knocked out of him when Wesker's knee connects.
He goes down. Like a sack of potatoes, or like a person who has a few regrets about asking Wesker to do this to him.]
...ow...
[It might take him a bit longer to get back up this time.]
