[The past month has been both physically and emotionally exhausting. He's only caught snatches of sleep here and there, and all those waking hours have been full of unease. The oppressive environment of the station reminding him of where he came from, the newfound certainty of what he isn't, the lingering question of what he is.
He has never sought the luxury of a resort, but nearly any change is welcome now. There is nothing familiar about the plush room he finds for himself, and that's good. This is a room for normal people who are allowed the comfort of material desires. He takes enough time to pull his boots off and make it halfway through braiding his hair, and then he's out.
Sephiroth rarely sleeps this deeply, so if you have ever wanted to draw on his face or touch the forbidden hair... now is your chance.]
II. Celebrity.... entourage?
[The past year has granted Sephiroth a much-desired reprieve from celebrity. He stands out, of course, but he isn't famous among the Travellers. So maybe he's gotten a little out-of-practice at avoiding reporters and media personalities. This Vanity Apollonia person manages to get entirely too close before he recognizes what's happening.
But then that microphone gets shoved in the face of... the person next to him?
Congratulations. Vanity seems to have decided Sephiroth is just your bodyguard. How does it feel to be the VIP?]
III. Holodeck a) Decisions [Sephiroth is familiar enough with the concept of virtual reality to understand, essentially, what he's being offered here. Shinra's forays into the technology are comparatively clumsy and limited, but it's the degree of choice that really gives him pause. He's only tested a handful of combat sims. This is... a lot.
Do you already have something in mind? Want to drag Sephiroth along for some fantasy fun? He's already here so surely he'd be amenable.]
b) Wutai [Given the time to browse, Sephiroth eventually discovers a few programs with names and locations he recognizes. So is he going to load up an interactive version of Loveless? Absolutely not.
No one's ever respected anyone's privacy for holodeck time, the door doesn't even lock while in use, so if you care to walk in on him, you'll find he hasn't loaded one of the narrative programs, but something more scenic. You stand in the foothills of the mountains near the southern end of Wutai. The simulation isn't perfect enough to capture the scent of an out-of-sight ocean on the wind, but it still feels nice. A flock of wild chocobos is grazing in the valley below. The scene is absent camps or other people of any kind. It's just... peaceful.]
((Hit me up at yinza if you want to plot anything. I'm game for him getting dragged around pretty much anywhere, let's have some fun!))
