I don't have the creativity to come up with anything witty right now, so I'll just say I don't own any Final Fantasy characters, events, circumstances, etc. I do own Seraph Valentine, so there.
Ch. 2 A Normal Day At Work
Vincent walked into his office. His side of the office was fairly empty, partially due to his Spartan nature. It also might have been because that he shared his office with his wife Yuffie and she was the one that kept mementos and "borrowed" stuff from Vincent's side. Vincent was starting to settle into his chair when Reno popped his head in.
"Hey Mr. Valentine? You're wanted on line one. And did you have to wear that to work? We do have a dress code ya know."
The proper attire for any World Democratic Order employee, as stated in the handbook, was a navy blue suit and tie. The dress code in question was never enforced by anyone at any time. As of such, Vincent's normal attire of red and black was nominally ignored, except by Reno who liked to annoy everyone about it. In fact in Vincent's division, the Shadow Guards, the only people who actually did follow the dress code on a regular basis were Reno, Elena and Reeve. But Reno was typically inebriated while dressing himself and Reeve always wore his favorite Hawaiian shirt on casual Fridays.
"I know and apparently so do you. May I inquire as to whether or not you just woke up and came to work, or did you think first?"
"Just because I crashed at a friends house for the night after drinking doesn't mean... I lost where I was going with this one."
"Then we can rule out the second one."
"I take offense to that!"
"You should. That skirt isn't your color."
"It isn't a skirt, it's a kilt!"
"Kilts are tartan, that's pink."
"Your point?"
"Right now I'd be surprised if you were wearing your own underwear."
"Well I..."
The comment caught Reno by surprise. Reno turned around and did something Vincent couldn't, nor wanted to, see. Reno turned back around and took on a cocky tone.
"Hah! These are my own boxers! Hahahahahaha!"
"You sad little freak. You have to check."
Vincent stood up and walked out. But not before pushing the still laughing Reno out of the way and into a trash bin.
"You called Reeve?"
"I do have a title Vincent. I am to be addressed as President Reeve at the very least."
Vincent blinked once, slowly.
"You called Reeve?"
"And I keep trying. Fine then, we have a rather difficult mission for you today, an undercover one, should take a couple of months at the least. And tell Yuffie that all vacations have been put on hold."
"She's not going to like that."
"Wait until she hears what she has to do. Your mission is to take positions as teachers at Kalm High school. I want you to observe the students there. We just put an operative in place. There are many new monsters suddenly appearing as if from nowhere and our intelligence has locked it down to Kalm High. We think a teacher or possibly students are involved in this. I wish I could tell you more but whoever they are they have some very strong counter-intelligence going on. All signs point to Shin Ra scientists gone AWOL. We need to stop whoever is involved and put an end to this monster creation."
"Why me and Yuffie? There are bound to be better intrusionists then us available."
"There were. They were the ones that got us this much information. Worse yet was that someone knew who they were and literally sent them back in pieces. Of the four operatives that we sent one came back ripped the shreds, the second was pounded into a near liquefied state, the third was brought back in a basket in ten separate pieces, and the last just plain confused the coroner. It looked like they had died while having nightmare or something."
"Nightmare?"
"Well the body was contorted and the face..." Reeve shuddered at the memory.
"This is deja vu. I want the coroner's report ASAP. And everything Yuffie and I will need."
"You seem interested all of a sudden."
"My daughter is going to Kalm High school. I need to be there to help her. And I have a feeling I know what killed your men."
"And you're not going to tell what you think."
"Assumption is the first step into a shallow grave."
"You'd be the expert on that one, wouldn't you? Everything will be ready in one hour. You will then be taken to Kalm High school for your first class. You have until that time to call Yuffie and inform her of this new assignment. And tell her that I said she isn't allowed to take your days off. Dismissed."
