[Angeal looks a little more harried than usual, which is a lot, seeing as how the man never seems bothered by anything, most of the time.]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep SERO from constantly coming to your door? [And, a sidelong glance off screen, likley at somebody.] That doesn't involve your weapon, I mean.

It's been almost a month now since this all started. Completely ridiculous.

[Calls will be taken in the greenroom while he waters the plants!]

Without weapons? Then no. Usually they only listen t'violence. An' then retaliate.

[Kevin is a bit cynical when it comes to SERO.]

[He has the same feeling to any big companies that's work focuses on science, no worries.]

I would not want to make anything harder on my housemates with it, but they are coming to the door almost every other day.

[He's going to start shredding the pamphlets for the cat's litter box!]

All ya c'n do is tell 'em ya ain't interested. They won't listen. Ya might be able t'get one o' those 'no solicitin' signs, and that'd make it tresspassin' if'n they try to bother ya. But, how likely is it that the cops are gonna do anythin' 'bout it?

Why're they bugging you?

[mentors]

[How to answer this... Outright saying 'SERO must of seen me make darkness monsters turn on their own though barehanded genetic manipulation one day.' Probably isn't the best way to introduce yourself.]

Ah, there was an incident with the clubs two months ago, with the darkness monsters somehow spawning inside- my friends and I helped fight them off, but it seems someone has really taken an interest in me from that company.

[ninthserenade]

Maaan, I almost forgot about that mess... Think if you joined up with AGI or something they'd buzz off? Or maybe hiring some dude to keep 'em away?

[Genesis is out working, at the studio. He's a little riled up because of Franz's death and his frustration over the fact that he didn't want to contribute to the whole "newcomers are violent" thing.]

They're still at it? What a bother.

[Voice]

[mentors]

I know.

[He's heard about the death of his partner's friend, and on top of all of this, Angeal has been getting stressed as well. Which brings him to something he has yet to ask Genesis, even though the question has come up with Cloud, while he was still here, and Sephrioth.]

I know a place that's pretty secure, Gen. We could stretch our swords, if you wanted.

[Voice]

[recitings]

[But sex is stress relief! There are simply some things that are best resolved with an all-out spar.]

A spar.

[He takes a breath.]

I would really appreciate that. When can we do that?

[maddeninghatter]

[ Somebody likes to eavesdrop. ]

Sero has an interest in Darkness monsters, hmm?

[ Video ]

[mentors]

[Yes well, a public network and all. Angeal is only a little surprised.]

That seems to be the case, but I am sure they could do their research just fine without any of us.

[ Video ]

[maddeninghatter]

Probably they could, but...

Perhaps there's a common interest.

[runebladeknight]

Why is SERO so interested in you?

[mentors]

Do you remember when the clubs were being attacked, about two months ago? A few of us just happened to be there, the wrong place at the wrong time. We Genesis, Asch and I took care of them, along with a few others.

[runebladeknight]

Hardly seems a reason to take such an interest in you, unless you displayed some unusual abilities.

[gaveherwings]

I suppose the appropriate follow up question to that is who is at your door, and why?

[mentors]

Recruiters for Darkness Studies.

I don't know if you heard, but a few months ago Darkness Monsters were spawning inside. Genesis and I happened to be in one of those clubs on just the right day, it seemed. [And well, you know. Super soldiers, genetic manipulation, just the day in the life of Angeal.]

[gaveherwings]

Ah. I see.

They want you for exposure tests, or-?

[Voice]

[scienceshow]

Publicly humiliating them helps.

[Because he's totally the expert on how to deal with SERO.]

[Voice]

[mentors]

[Don't you look like a great source of info.]

Call me old fashioned, but I would rather things be settled in a way less difficult for all of us.

[Voice]

[scienceshow]

Understandable, though I must wonder what you did to entice such an enthusiastic response from them.

Action; oh, screw my hiatus

[soldierfirst]

You already know my solution.

[But he did make you coffee, Angeal; Sephiroth enters the room as he speaks, two warm mugs in hand.]

Action; <33! /welcomes with open arms!

[mentors]

[He is trimming dead branches off of one of the larger plants when Sephiroth announces himself, but stops afterward, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand and moving to stand, directing the both of them to the small table set out in the greenhouse where they can sit next to each other.]

The ones coming to the door are just the lackeys, Seph. Threatening them will do no more than make them quit their job, if anything.

voice;

[acclimatized]

Don't answer the door. They'll get tired, soon enough.

I am going to have to start with that, as much as I hate to. But rather flyers that can be thrown away then dealing with them.
