Characters: Any who attended the Heads of State meeting.
Progress: In Progress
Summary: After the meeting adjourns, there are private conversations to be had.
Location: Dali
Date: January 1804, before the Epitaph invasion
Warnings: N/A

After several hours over the table, the meeting was adjourned; many parties left dissatisfied, disgruntled, and in some cases, even afraid. Compared to the last meeting aboard Regent Cid's Invincible, the meeting in Dali had been a joke. There were even more present than the first time, and somehow, it was less productive. The only thing everyone seemed united on, was that Kefka, Weiss, and others of their kind needed to be stopped. At what cost is where everything fell to pieces. As the crowd dispersed, the old mage factory was left with stirred-up dust and the heavy feeling of words and feelings unspoken.

[ Party Style! Tag in, and tag each other. If there's people you need to talk to while you're still in Dali, this is the place to do it. Threads can occur anywhere in Dali, from the factory, to the Inn, the fields, etc. ]

Rufus had been more than frustrated with how the meeting had gone and the fact half the occupants were more interested in rehashing their own pasts than focusing on the problems at hand. The solutions offered were interesting but none seemed to be anything that could be implemented quickly enough to be of any use if Kefka took it into his head to attack somewhere else.

He exited the room with a faint sigh, Tseng following a few steps behind before he turned to speak with him briefly, issuing a few orders. That done, Rufus left the building intending to head for the inn.

Among those wanting to rehash the past, Vayne was not one of them, beyond discrediting people who could cause him headache. That list of people was growing rapidly, and he privately cursed whatever kept multiplying his problems.

Rather, he chose to seek out Rufus, hoping to learn more about these problem men from their own world. Enough had been out of his control, and the more he knew, the more control he could wrest back. Beginning with putting aside his annoyance over the request for Wutai, and becoming approachable. He followed along, finding a chance to call out, "Pardon me. Do you have a moment?"

Rufus half turned, giving the man a brief look."I suppose that depends on what you want to discuss." He had paid attention to the things that had been said at the meeting and while he still didn't care for the other leaders, this one seemed to be the one everyone disliked. He could at least gain some information, perhaps.

"I am interested in hearing you out. I feel you were given an inadequate hearing at best, and believe that ignoring what you know could put us all at great risk." Grandiose speech, but there was an element of truth in there. Knowledge was power. Vayne meant to grasp whatever power was within his reach.

"Because you feel that knowing the threats that my world could pose is useful for your goals?" Rufus turned to continue walking although he was still speaking to Vayne. "There are very few people capable of fighting those off but one of them is present here."

"Because knowing threats that your world could pose is necessary for ensuring the safety of innocent lives," Vayne replied, correcting Rufus in his assessment. He followed along with Rufus, as if merely engaging in a casual chat with an old friend. "Would you be willing to elaborate more, both in the threats, and those capable of combating them?"

"...My father's company pioneered a method of enhancing men into Supersoldiers. Unfortunately the best of these men are also inherently unstable due to the extra /enhancements they were granted and one of them snapped and nearly destroyed my world twice. As things stand, the reason he snapped has been neutralized so it's not a threat for the moment."

"For the moment implies that this could change in the future. How likely to you believe that to be?"

"It seems anything is likely in this world. If the catalyst for his snapping arrives here, it would be a risk. As long as that...thing isn't here, he is no real threat to the safety of anyone."

"And should that change? What then?"

"Then the past will repeat itself for the fourth time and he'll be destroyed again." Rufus turned to face him for a moment. "That particular situation is controlled and without the ability to summon Meteor, he will not be able to destroy this world, anyway."

Vayne paused, falling into a solemn silence. There was information Rufus was withholding and he could tell. Yet this was not Archades, and could not force nor coerce him to give more. He felt like a common street ear, grasping at slivers of information with nothing concrete to grasp hold of. "If he is capable of destroying your world, how then is he to be stopped?" If his words bore true and it would be a repeat of history, then there must be a known way.
