Rufus Shinra looks down at Tifa, his one eye glowing

Tifa Lockheart feels like she is being watched in her sleep... and opens one eye cautiously

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm, you wake up at last"

Tifa Lockheart says, "... Whatcha do... drug me or something?"

Rufus Shinra says, "It was necessary"

Tifa Lockheart says, "you didn't hurt Reno did you"

Rufus Shinra says, "no, why would I need to?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cuz you are a heartless bastard"

Rufus Shinra says, "that may be"

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back

Tifa Lockheart says, "Reno seemed genuinely scared when he found out what was lurking in the room with him"

Rufus Shinra says, "he is blind and deaf now I take it?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yeah.... No thanks to you"

Rufus Shinra says, "He is alive. No one has ever survived that before"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yeah but you've put a strain on his and Cloud's relationship. Cloud isn't very patient..."

Rufus Shinra says, "then that is his weakness"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He's stronger than you... he got fucked with a lot and he's still sane"

Rufus Shinra shakes his head

Rufus Shinra says, "no one has had it worse then me Tifa. You have no idea"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well you aren't normal... Cloud's just a regular guy. Well he is soldier altered... but a regular guy nonetheless"

Rufus Shinra says, "interesting you used the term fucked with"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Why's that interesting?"

Rufus Shinra says, "you do not know anything... you did not know what prez Shinra was like"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Like I said Mr. Half and half... Cloud's just a normal guy...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Mr. Half and half?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Half Jenova Half Cetra... Cloud's just one of us underling human things... he doesn't have even half the capacity you do"

Rufus Shinra says, "he has Jenova ... it has fused with his cells due to Hojo's experimenting on him"

Tifa Lockheart says, "True. I hate to think of what Hojo did to him while he had him captive...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Still, what do you know of Prez Shinra?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Nothing"

Rufus Shinra says, "nothing at all? You knew a little"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cept he was a porker with a passion for whores"

Rufus Shinra says, "and anything else he could get his hands on...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Eew..."

Rufus Shinra is telling her something

Tifa Lockheart says, "Including poor little Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back

Tifa Lockheart says, "No wonder you're fucked up... literally "

Tifa Lockheart grins evilly

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

Tifa Lockheart says, "He musta fucked you up down and all around eh?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "good for him"

Rufus Shinra says, "why good?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "After what you did to Cloud, Reno, and the rest of it... anything you got... even as an innocent kid... was deserved"

Rufus Shinra chuckles slightly

Rufus Shinra says, "I see ... you are a fool. You do not understand cause and effect"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Does it matter?"

Rufus Shinra says, "this is why that sort of thing happens still. No one pays any attention"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You are a lunatic. You expect me to pay attention to you?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Why do you think I am...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well too bad... vicious circle there. No one talks to you Cuz you're insane but you're insane Cuz nobody talked to you. Poor baby"

Rufus Shinra says, "is that what you think?"

Tifa Lockheart shakes her head groggily

Tifa Lockheart says, "Why the hell have you recaptured me anyway? Am I bait for Spikes or something?"

Rufus Shinra says, "you'll find out"

Rufus Shinra shakes his head

Rufus Shinra says, "not at all"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Then what? I hate to be in the dark about my fate"

Rufus Shinra looks right at Tifa with his single eye

Tifa Lockheart says, "I'm so glad you're gay"

Rufus Shinra says, "and why is that?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I know I don't ever have to worry about you using me like you used Cloud"

Rufus Shinra shakes his head

Rufus Shinra says, "using ... reminds me of when I was little"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yeah you got fucked as a kid... am I supposed to be all sad for you?"

Rufus Shinra says, "raped is more like it ... and beaten"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You need more of that now... doubt you'd feel any of it though"

Tifa Lockheart is being her normal crass self

Rufus Shinra says, "I feel nothing. Tifa, you have never had that happen to you...."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Nope and thank god I haven't. I don't wanna end up a freak like you"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm"

Rufus Shinra chuckles

Rufus Shinra says, "is that what you think?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well I'm on the edge now believe it or not... do you know how much getting yanked around takes its toll on me?"

Rufus Shinra says, "no. But, prez Shinra used to drag me every where with him"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I just wanted to sit and be peaceful.... I only followed Cloud Cuz I cared about him...."

Rufus Shinra flicks back his hair

Tifa Lockheart says, "I wonder if the president enjoyed you. Hey... was he any good in bed?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm sure he enjoyed me..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well.... I suppose a sicko like that would enjoy his own mother"

Rufus Shinra says, "His own mother was long dead"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well if she was alive"

Tifa Lockheart wishes she hadn't thrown her glove at Reno... is now weaponless....

Tifa Lockheart says, "He musta squished you...."

Tifa Lockheart breaks out into laughter

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... and you wonder why I'"

Tifa Lockheart clutches her sides.... Just thinking of the fat man doing things to skinny lil Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm immune to pain now"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oh it's so funny!"

Tifa Lockheart wipes a tear from her eye

Tifa Lockheart says, "I just find that amusing. The mental images I get...."

Tifa Lockheart laughs some more

Tifa Lockheart says, "so really. Why am I here... other than me getting a cheap laugh?"

Rufus Shinra says, "mental images"

Rufus Shinra gets all quiet...

Tifa Lockheart says, "I can just see fat ass old man ShinRa squishing you down into a bed as he had his way with you"

Rufus Shinra stares at her

Rufus Shinra says, "can you?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hai sodes1"

Rufus Shinra says, "And what do you see with me?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Hmm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "you find that all funny?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Yep"

Rufus Shinra says, "What else do you see?"

Tifa Lockheart giggles

Rufus Shinra folds his arms

Tifa Lockheart says, "Oh wow... I woulda paid to have seen it..."

Rufus Shinra says, "really? And what did you think it looked like?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Quite amusing... specially when you were little. He tossed you around like a rag doll didn't he?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes"

Tifa Lockheart looks around boredly

Tifa Lockheart says, "Can I go home now?"

Rufus Shinra says, "no"

Tifa Lockheart says, "And you're gonna stop me?"

Tifa Lockheart stands up

Rufus Shinra grabs her arm

Rufus Shinra says, "it is not time for you to leave. Not yet"

Tifa Lockheart says, "who made you master?"

Rufus Shinra says, "the planet"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Whatever. No planet is that dumb"

Tifa Lockheart tugs on her arm

Rufus Shinra says, "You said you'd have paid to have seen it?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Paws off the merchandise please"

Rufus Shinra says, "how about feel it?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No I don't thin I want to have felt it"

Tifa Lockheart shudders

Rufus Shinra says, "you do not know that sort of pain"

Tifa Lockheart says, "There's a lot of things I don't know"

Rufus Shinra looks her over

Rufus Shinra says, "you don't even know sex, do you?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "what?"

Tifa Lockheart tries to keep herself from turning red

Tifa Lockheart says, "My arm please... give it back"

Rufus Shinra says, "if you did, I doubt you'd laugh. No"

Rufus Shinra closes his eye

Rufus Shinra says, "you want to see my past... here you go"

Tifa Lockheart tugs on her arm

Tifa Lockheart says, "erk..."

Rufus Shinra sends her some images of him getting raped and tortured and how horrible it was... just a few... one day of his past

Tifa Lockheart says, "Ugh!"

Rufus Shinra says, "that was a normal day"

Tifa Lockheart shakes her head... somewhat dazed

Tifa Lockheart says, "No more... I get it"

Rufus Shinra says, "do you really?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "...."

Tifa Lockheart tugs on her arm again

Tifa Lockheart says, "Leggo"

Rufus Shinra says, "do you still want to laugh? You did not feel it ... just saw it"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No thanks...."

Rufus Shinra says, "and why not? That was just a normal day for me as a child"

Tifa Lockheart says, "It's worse than I could have imagined..."

Rufus Shinra says, "and you don't find it funny?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "no....."

Tifa Lockheart feels very small right now....

Rufus Shinra says, "and why not?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "lemme alone... and let go of my arm... I can't feel my fingers..."

Rufus Shinra lets go of her arm, but there is no where to run

Tifa Lockheart backs away rubbing her arm

Rufus Shinra says, "well, why don't you find the images amusing?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cuz they are sick"

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You were just a kid..."

Tifa Lockheart continues backing until she hits the wall of the tent

Rufus Shinra says, "You didn't seemed moved by that fact before"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Because I wasn't up close and personal with it..."

Rufus Shinra says, "what did you see that changed your mind?"

Tifa Lockheart frowns

Tifa Lockheart says, "Its sick...."

Rufus Shinra says, "go on"

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back, looking at her

Tifa Lockheart says, "You were just a kid... and that sick bastard..."

Rufus Shinra waits for her to finish

Tifa Lockheart says, "Makes me wonder how anyone could do that to a kid"

Rufus Shinra folds his arms again

Rufus Shinra says, "do..."

Tifa Lockheart sinks to the floor weakly... wishing that she could just be out of here

Tifa Lockheart says, "he looked like he was really enjoying it too"

Tifa Lockheart puts her head in her hands

Tifa Lockheart says, "Go away...."

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm sure he was ... as you asked me before and, as I said, that was a normal day for me"

Tifa Lockheart makes a ditch effort of crawling past Rufus and out the door

Rufus Shinra stops her

Tifa Lockheart sniffles

Tifa Lockheart says, "I don't think I want to know what abnormal days were like"

Rufus Shinra says, "worse"

Tifa Lockheart looks longingly at the door

Rufus Shinra watches her still

Rufus Shinra says, "you can't get out"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Stop tormenting me"

Rufus Shinra shakes his head

Rufus Shinra says, "you do not understand why you are here ... do you?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "I don't think I want to"

Rufus Shinra says, "you have nothing more you wish to discuss with me?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "no...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Then I guess it is time"

Tifa Lockheart says, "time..."

Rufus Shinra goes and gets a syringe

Rufus Shinra says, "Time"

Tifa Lockheart says, "No no"

Rufus Shinra says, "since, you do not wish to talk"

Tifa Lockheart says, "...Leave me alone... Looking at you... knowing what happened"

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back again

Rufus Shinra says, "what happened..."

Tifa Lockheart says, "You screamed... and when you ran out of voice you did it wordlessly"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... I remember ... and I would always be yelled at and hurt more for doing so..."

Tifa Lockheart flexes her fingers and looks at the ground

Tifa Lockheart says, "Now... leave me alone... "

Rufus Shinra shakes his head

Rufus Shinra says, "no"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud and Reno.... I'll never know what they have...."

Rufus Shinra says, "what do they have?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Never have either... not even the pleasure of another's company... whose actually interested me... and not just my body. They have love... an understanding... look at how devoted Cloud is...."

Rufus Shinra says, "love ... hmm, never having known love in any sense..."

Tifa Lockheart wishes there were somewhere to hide. Thinks about scrabbling insanely at one of the walls... and does so

Rufus Shinra goes to Tifa. Injects her... She falls asleep
