[Long silence. Cloud stands and stares around him, everything about him screaming misplacement.]

This...............I remember here. Buganhagen and his machine. But...
I wasn't there. I was looking for a store.

[He looks behind him.]

So this is where she came from. It's not...so bad. Quiet. I wonder how stars made her? Calamities. Always calamities...

I'm dreaming. But this. This isn't a dream I mind...It's only me. But what about 'The Machine'?
Peaceful. I could stay here for a thousand years. With no memory. But...home?

[Cloud stands in the stars silently, gazing at them, content.]

I am Mu. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Strife.

Nice to meet you...
Just call me Cloud.

[lamb_of_gold]

Cloud then. *small smile*

I've found that it is possible to return home from here, though according to the woman "We may never leave."

[illusoryblue.livejournal.com]

...How? How do we get home?

[lamb_of_gold]

It seems to be a matter of simply willing it...


Oh good, I didn't di- *poofdissapears*

...

...

*poofreappears*

...*sigh* That's getting rather annoying.

Willing it...? Okay.

[Cloud is gone. And then, hello again.]
...Oh. But...if we're in an experiment, why are. Why do we still have home?

[lamb_of_gold]

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer. Though I spoke with the woman, she evaded my questions and spoke with such vague statements, it was very hard to make sense of them.

[illusoryblue.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. She's one of those types. Heh.
I'm going to find out...[and Cloud wanders off like his namesake. he does that.]

[lamb_of_gold]

*Mu's voice, though coming from his mouth seems to echo in Cloud's head as he turns away* I wish you luck, friend.

[oh man is Cloud disturbed]
What-?
[he turns back and looks at her for a moment, before shaking his head and continuing on.]

[Mu has no boobies DX]

*Slightly bashful look. Didn't mean to do that*
