Hiding from her pursuers which seemed to be gaining on her, the red-hooded mercenary emmited a shart sigh as she walked out from her hiding place, only to find out that she was in a different place, a cave it seems. She doesn't mind that much, all she needs is to walk a few paces and she's out, ready to run once more. Why is she running, nobody knows, but she is too fatigue to fight so the auburn-haired female have to resolve to running. She did the aformentioned only to find out that it was harder to get out in this mysterious walls than she thought, albeit lost beneath the labyrinth of stalagtites and other obstacles. She was about to give up when a sight caught her, which left her stunned on the spot.
There erected a crystal formation, and in front of it was a woman, probably in its mid-twenties or so. She look so beautiful, and peaceful from her place, but what made her stopped in her tracks is that she have met that woman before. Somewhere.
'How...'
To clear things up, she didn't know who she was, but she did met her somewhere before, when she was a wee child, (and probably, at the same time, she should have met Vincent Valentine, but she was still a kid to notice that.) and apparently, her parents, who were also scientists in their own accord, knew about her. How serene her face was as the face of the stray experiment soften a bit as she sat down and continued to watch this.... this.... structure with her dull, maroon orbs, as if hypnotized to it. And then, there comes Hojo.
Yes, Hojo. The person who turned her into his guiea pig, a labrat, a monster in which her own body was now nothing more than a demon in a form of a teen. She have heard from him that he experimented on someone before and some of it he implied to her, but she can't remember who for she was dead-faint when he said the name. Someone who started with a 'V'.... but that wasn't important to her; the important is that her life was no more; No more sleepovers with her friends, no more growing up and getting married, no mo growing old and watching her grandchildren play.... no more of those. How she loathe that man with every fiber of her beign, IF she ever has one. This made her live longer than expected with the same features as her teenage years, but her mind will still grow.
"Who are you?" Was the only three words came out from the red-hooded girls's mouth, referring to the female in the crystal. "Who are you?"

Roiyaru walks in silently near right after she speaks and stands behind her just out of reach of a standard slash from her rather large saw weapon. He seems to already have his helmet off this time.
"Pondering a quandary are you?"
He gets ready to move if he must sneaking up on people can be fun but when they carry large weapons it can also mean death before one notices who they are...He knew that lesson well even if it hadn't killed him yet.

With sudden movements, her hand grasp at the handle of her weapon and turned around to point it at the person talking to her only to find out it was none other than the guy from Fort Condor, only without his helmet. She looked at him with her dull, maroon orbs before retreating her hand once more and turned back towards the crystal she was engrossed with, as if it was all she depend for.
"What are you doing here?" Was her first question since this cave is known only to no one except the one who stays here in which she doesn't know who and she was just stumbled upon this place. If this whoever entered this place and found them here, who knows what might happen, she might have to force to fight even in this weak state of hers. Alastar's weak as of this moment, no doubt, so it's no surprise why she is a bit.... edgy... as of this moment.

He puts on a bemused grin raising a eyebrow at her actions.
"Simply wandering. I do so alot and it is quite amazing the places you can find when you follow 9 people around the globe. Especially those 9."
He simply smiles moving over a bit to the left until he touches a wall and sits down against it.
"Amazing what you can hear and learn as well."

She gazed at him for a little while before sitting down in a cross-legged position, her hands placed in front of her and her back facing the crystal-like structure.
"They better be out of my sight by that time." Alastar said in a stiff tone, referring to her pursuers in which she have then realize that she has a price in her head and needed to be elimanated. That wouldn't be easy since not only she is invunerable, she is, might as we say it, undead in a way. It was shown to her body that she was exhausted and needed a rest but then it would be best if sherather remain silent for a moment.
"And what makes you be in this place?" She asked in her normal, placid tone once more, regaining composure to herself.

He wonders a great deal at her reaction to him speaking of Clouds group when he followed them but figured she missed his reference. Oh well all the better to keep it a secret then.
"What makes me be any where? Why do I exist here? A great question you ask that we may never know the answer to."
He grins as he speaks making elaborating hand gestures as he says it rather obviously and purposefully taking her question the wrong way.He waits a moment for any responses she could make to his sarcasm and if they begin he cuts them off and if not he continues anyway.
"But to be serious I walked by on the path a member of said group takes frequently to this place or by it and I heard a familiar voice. And then I thought about what a coincidence it was and decided to walk in for a chat."
He says it all with a rather obnoxious smile which could very well have been designed to grind on peoples nerves.

If the male was planning to tick her off the hook, well sad to say he failed miserably since she doesn't show much of her expressions to everyone, not to mention she is most likely to show very minimal ones in her case. She just looked at him with her dull orbs as she just nodded about it.
"I presume that might happen." She said in a silent tone. "Those people you talk about, who are they?" She asked in her hollow-like tone, in which she would like to figure out what he's talking about.

Still no sign of emotions ah well.
*He continues to smile but a more normal smile*
"You probably know them or at least some of them. They have been rather involved in events all around the world."
Even if that wasn't enough to make her realize who they were there was one last thing he could say without a breach of contract.
"Ever heard of Avalanche?"
If that wasn't enough then he would have to use loopholes...he won't breach his contract.

AVALANCHE? That seem familliar to her ears... Of course, who wouldn't heard of them? Certainly she was more than interested to know about them though she wouldn't show it. She doesn't want herself to be involve in any way possible, so it's best to keep the interest to herself.
"Yes, I have heard of them by passing." Alastar said with a silent tone. "Why, may I ask, do you want to know?"

Good no need to go beyond it then.
"Thats who I followed around before and how I originally found this cave by following one of the members. What was his name..."
He scratches his chin for a moment "looking" up at the ceiling.
"Gah he was experimented on by Hojo they found him in Nibelheim but what was the name.....Something Valentine.....Vincent! Thats it!"
His face screwed up as he worked his brain for the info. He knew alot and had seen alot but his memory wasn't exactly the greatest thing on the block.
"Yes that was the name Vincent Valentine. Followed him a bit after the Meteor incident and found this place. He used to say things while he sat here but he was to quiet to hear from a distance and I didn't dare get close."

Vincent Valentine.... he seemed to be a familliar name, but no matter, it's none of her business anyway to nose around anyone's business. And yes, that name once more, Hojo, so she wasn't the only one then. She, did, see him when she was younger, although can't tell much due to her innocent mind. He was that Turk her parents talk about, but she doesn't care at that time.
"I...see." Alastar murmured, deep in thoughts. "Although last I heard, people shouldn't nose around anyone's personal space, but I'll reconcider that part." She added with a hint of amusement in her tone.

He simply grins at her comment then puts his hand on his heart with a fake look of pain on his face.
"Ah I'm wounded by your words. To think you would consider me thus."
He laughs for a moment.
"Lets just say that the pay was good and it wasn't in gil. If it meant I needed a little moral ambiguity then so be it. And if you feel that I intruded to far into anyones personal space go ahead and ask away. You already know one of the only secrets I try to keep anyway."
He leans back against the wall with his arms behind his head wondering if she would take up his offer or not. There wasn't much that he would hide unless his contract said so.

"Fair enough," Alastar said, tilting her head in the side as if an innocent child would do, though she's not really much up to that position of a 'innocent child' at one point. "If you must, then no point hiding it." She said further in which she would have meant that she doesn't care if she heard it or not, the important thing is the facts.

He simply smiles shaking his head looking like he would laugh.
"Give me a starting point won't you? I've been following Avalanche since it was just Barret, Tifa, Biggs, wedge and Jessie... Unfortunately the cause of three of the their deaths... but thats getting off the subject."
He does look slightly sorrowful as he says how he had been the cause of their death. But it quickly passes meaning either its fake or he is used to shoving away sorrow.

With just a sigh, the female decided to change the topic as to avoid it, it would be best anyway.
"Nevermind what I said a while back, I would prefer to know it myself." She said with a slight nod, shifting herself to face the crystal once more, Although the name 'Tifa' sounded familliar.
"Tifa, you say?" Alastar spoke once more. "I heard she is working in Seventh Heaven with a male named Cloud, and I did overhear something about him being with their little group, but I won't get my hopes up." Her voice was calm and cool despite the fact that it was nothing but a hollow voice in it. "Before anything else, what are you doing in this place?" She asked the same question once more, admitting to herself that his answer was not convincing enough for her. She would have asked the same thing to herself but wouldn't bring a right answer to it. Let's just hope she won't get notice by him abot her sudden 'asking'.
