[sefirot]

That is a long list.

[unknownjoy]

Does that mean your abilities are... exceptional?

[He's just trying to understand.]

[sefirot]

Something like that. I am far above normal humans as far as speed and strength, and that's only to start.

[unknownjoy]

I see. [Not really, but he can at least imagine Sephiroth's abilities as roughly comparable to a Servant's. Perhaps the other wardens were simply afraid?]

There have been fluctuations lately, so you may get them back soon anyway.

[At least for short periods of time.]

[sefirot]

Perhaps, but that is not the same. Unless the admirals power fails completely I imagine I will unfortunately remain as I am.

[unknownjoy]

I won't return your powers right away. I'm sure you can understand why, especially given that some of the inmates, upon regaining their powers from the fluctuations, immediately attacked others.

However, I meant what I said. I really have no strong opinion on whether inmates should have their powers or not, much less whether you specifically should have yours.

[sefirot]

You misunderstand. I am fully capable of killing most on this ship without my abilities. I do not need them for that.

[unknownjoy]

That's good to know, but please allow me to clarify. I didn't mean to say you would use them for that. Only that I don't know you or your abilities, so it would be reckless to return them immediately.

[sefirot]

I see. Then what else do you want to know?

[unknownjoy]

Would you send me a list of your powers? At your convenience, of course.

[ He also wants to try and actually get to know Sephiroth a little bit. ]

... I was also thinking we could perhaps meet in person next time to discuss these matters further.

[sefirot]

If you feel either of those things are truly necessary.

[unknownjoy]

[ It's hard to tell if someone is insane and perhaps shouldn't be given godlike powers over a short video call. ]

I would appreciate it.

[ Kirei apparently makes a very mild-mannered warden, at least. ]

Well. It's been a pleasure, Mister Sephiroth.

[sefirot]

[He's completely insane.]

I imagine you'll contact me again when you wish to meet.

[unknownjoy]

Yes, I'll do so after you send the list.

[ He plans to give Sephiroth a week or so before poking at him again. ]

And if there's anything else, aside from your powers, that you need in the meantime, please feel free to contact me as well.

[sefirot]

[Right. The list. Thats going to be a long list.]

My weapon of choice is something else I desire, but I doubt that you'd be willing to offer that either.

[unknownjoy]

[ Lineface. ]

Do you think having your weapon and your powers back will help you?

Or do you just want them because they're yours?

[sefirot]

They are both a part of who I am, is that not enough?

[unknownjoy]

[ No... ]

I don't make decisions based on principles without first attempting to understand the risks and benefits.

[sefirot]

It amuses me how many are afraid of what I might do with a weapon, despite that I had free access to one already.

[unknownjoy]

Well, usually someone wouldn't destroy a place, even if they could, if that place still had something they wanted. But I also don't think a warden's fear is a good reason to keep your powers from you if having them back might help you graduate.

What was the weapon you had access to? [ Just curious. ]

[sefirot]

The buster sword. It is the weapon Zack is currently carrying.

[unknownjoy]

You have my admiration. It can't be easy to wield a weapon like that.

[sefirot]

It's a toy compared to my own.

[unknownjoy]

If your abilities are really that remarkable, then I imagine most weapons must seem like toys.

[sefirot]

This is true. But the masamune is not known for others being able to wield it effectively. Zack's sword has been used by two --

[There's a small pause ...]

Three individuals over the years.

It is not the same.

[Tifa did pick up his sword once, but that ultimately didn't go well for her.]
