[Sephiroth's mirror is framed in black, cut in clean, elegant lines that look as though they are sharp to touch. It is hard to perceive much else in such a dark color, not without peering closer, and strangers won't note anything odd. Those who know him better could see more: patterned lines interspersed throughout like the vanes and notches of feathers, and a long, curving katana carved into the bottom. The contour lines of a steely city, artfully hidden beneath the rest.

The wood is glossy, unmarred, and perfect to those uncaring. Spiderwebbing, barely-there hairline fractures are visible to closer CR. They shimmer at the right angle, so briefly that it might have been a trick of the light.]

((ooc; these memshare prompts are open to anyone unless specified otherwise! he'll just be more guarded about a few of the more personal ones if you're not close CR. if you want something specific, hmu at aurajen! thanks!))

[Sephiroth only nods and then, with a deftness that implies plenty of practice going through emails at a console much like this one, the first email is opened.

The screen flickers, and displayed in plain text, it reads:]

Hey, I know you don't keep up much with the fanclub rumor mill, but I figured even you'd get a kick out of this one. You have to tell me, though, is it true?

-A

Forwarded message:

Dear members of the Silver Elite:
In this update, we present another piece of Sephiroth
trivia—the secrets to his beautiful long hair.
The hair products he uses are of the highest grade,
made and supplied by the Shinra Company.
He seems to use one whole bottle of both shampoo
and conditioner every time he washes his hair.
They are scented with thirteen kinds of perfumes,
including Rose and Vanilla.
Apparently, the scent in the air after
Sephiroth tosses his hair changes daily!

[ Alex reads the email.

Then reads it again.

Her eyes narrow, as if her poor eyesight is what's making this email's contents look really weird. ] ]

.....so you...have a fan club?

lmao her icon

[supersoldier]

[Insofar as his memory serves, this is the email verbatim. He doesn't know whether to chide himself for committing such inanity into some kind of permanence, or to treat it like nothing -- he should do the latter, but his pride doesn't make it so simple.]

I do. But I try not to pay too much attention to the rumors they float around with each email.

[Where are they even getting this information? He cannot say.]

For example, this is an exaggeration.

always a pleasure when i get to use it

[sing_for_me]

[ A fan club for what, though? ]

Are...an artist or something? Or someone famous?

[ Sure, he was popular with the kids, but he wasn't exactly the friendliest. ]

....An exaggeration means you do some of it though, doesn't it?

[supersoldier]

[Is it telling when he ignores one question in favor of the other? Hm, one might wonder.]

I'm a SOLDIER. On my home planet of Gaia-

[A few easy keystrokes with a single hand, the console keyboard clicking.]

-we were under the employ of a company named Shinra. SOLDIER is an elite fighting force, put to use for specialized or otherwise critical missions.

[sing_for_me]

[ Yeah, it's pretty obvious he didn't want to answer that one. Or rather, not admit to anything. ]

....But how is that different from a regular soldier?

[ Did she dare ask if the hair had anything to do with it. ]

And do elite fighting forces have fan clubs...? Is the other email the same way?
