This is where to go if you need to talk to Admin, Doll, or the other NPCs. Be sure to write who each message is for in the subject line! For example, VIDEO | ADMIN or TEXT | DOLL!
They may not answer right away or at all, but you never know until you try!
You did a great job, but I am quite surprised you're wanting to cash it in on this.
I know of who you speak of, and certainly there are ways of restraining or resetting him if need be.
I doubt though that he would listen to me. Doll perhaps, or one of the others. You, the boy, and the flower girl could come in too, if you wish to stage an intervention or break it to him gently.
May I ask why? I would have thought you would have demurred for awhile longer.
That's the dilemma. I would prefer to hang onto my favor for a particularly rainy day... so I don't suppose you'd be willing to do this one for free?
I've tried my best to avoid it all, but as I'm sure you know, he's a rather persistent, and even annoying, pest when it comes to knowledge, especially that which he doesn't have.
And, to be honest, I'd rather keep him as loyal to me as possible. Keeping it from him would ruin that, and he said as much.
You're the one who wants go pull the specimen by the tentacle. You tell me.
And it sounds like he needs a project. He did have all those books about the island- he must have finished with those rather quickly. He might be better off teaching survival skills to he younger generation; they're going to need it.
But he wants this particular cookie, and this could be far more dangerous then back on Gaia if he has a breakdown so...I'll help you.
Resetting would mean we would purge him of all the memories since his arrival. It's painless, but he would have to start from day one.
But information on his future and your past could be eased in, if a little...murky. Or replaced, with something that's the truth, but not the whole truth.
And, I presume, you're the one who trapped me in some burning, mutating hellscape with the fake SOLDIER and the specimen in question, a few weeks ago. However, I'm willing to forgive you for that in exchange for your help. I greatly appreciate it.
Perhaps we could make a deal with him? If he occupies himself with teaching some basic survival skills for a time, you could provide him with the files on the Jenova Project, which he could read himself... in a place secluded from anyone else, for a time.
Granted, of course, we could edit these files as we see fit beforehand. I assume that you are able to obtain things from Gaia, as you obtained us?
And if it appears that he won't retain his sanity, even then, we can resort to the resetting.
Surprisingly no! I wouldn't put you into something like That, especially when you've been nothing but cooperative and helpful. You can blame the intense feelings towards that date.
I would be more then happy to work with you on future projects, with benefits for both of us.
That...is interesting, and it could work. I could even ensure that the files appear uncensored or altered, if need be. He still had a break down, but it had nothing to do with what he is, but something far more curable.
And if he needs to speak to a therapist, one will be provided to him.
The only flaw I can see in this plan is the blond one. I'm surprised he hasn't told your SOLIDER boy already. The girl at least is good at being discreet.
Excellent. If you have any further suggestions for changes in regards to his past, as well, I would love to hear them.
For me, I think it's safe enough for him to know where he comes from without much editing, although we may want to blur out some of the...information about Jenova herself, so as not to encourage him to think himself as something too powerful. That must have been part of the mistake in the first place. It may be better to stress the fact that he was born from a human, just with the added...influence, of the other cells.
Could we also edit in something to secure his loyalty to me? Some hint of a friendship, or something of the sort? I should have some means of benefitting from this, after all.
The blond one is a work in progress as well, I'm afraid. Do we encourage him to discover his own past, given the information Sephiroth himself has provided me with, or do we leave him lost in the clouds of his thoughts? I haven't quite figured out which would work best. I'm happy to defer to your expertise.
Did you want to make it seem that his success is still due to Mako, or perhaps that it's due to his own efforts? I may be inclined to go with the latter, as we don't wish to...encourage certain things.
I would like to make this a believable lie.
[Admin...your sass.]
But I suppose it's possible to work with something of how he worked with the Turks, or the two of you acknowledged each other, even if you were both products of your creators. Simple enough, and may have been something of an accidental slip from a security file.
The blond is something of a wildcard, if only due to his stubbornness. It's possible that he may come to me to ask someday, even if he finds the idea distasteful.
He needs to be eased into this slowly. He's more delicate then he realizes, and this place could change him into something like your friend, but worse. How is your relationship with the girl? It's possible to work through her, though...I'd rather not upset her too much.
Success due to his own efforts is fine with me. That all sounds rather believable, and I enjoy your spin on things.
We will have to keep an eye on the blond one then, as this...progresses. I wouldn't want to have to deal with two of them at once. We can gauge the best way to approach the situation as it unfolds.
Fond of the Ancient, are you~? That's rather cute.
Our relationship is complicated, but I've done nothing to upset her as of yet. I've been cordial and helpful; I have little interest in her here, after all, so I don't wish to upset her either. I'm hesitant to say friendship, given her distrust, but perhaps it could be worked on.
At the very least, I am sure she would be pleased to do anything that might help Cloud Strife.
And thankfully...unless something changes of course, the blond rather detests your friend, for rather obvious reasons.
She reminds me of someone, not to mention she's good for general stabilization. I'm allowed to approve of her, right~?
Thankfully for both of us, she's aware of something...off with Cloud. I have an idea, and luckily for you, it will mean you will still have a favor to cash in.
And that's where I become the mysterious creeper. Gross.
[Admin deserves it.]
There can be something that comes with the files; you can say that it was an experimental item that was being worked on by the RnD department in order to stop your friend. Unfortunately, it's too small to use at long range, blah blah blah.
While it does help keep the Jenova cells in check- which is what you can tell the flower girl- it's also a mood stabilizer. Every time he has one of his attacks, this will counter the headache and send a chemical response to keep him on track.
You have no idea the horrors - and, to their credit, miracles - the R&D department managed to cook up, especially underneath my father. This is hardly outlandish at all.
So, essentially you need me to deliver this item, via the Ancient, so that it gets into Cloud's hands? That should be easy enough.
Am I also to inform Sephiroth of his... teaching duties, while we wait for the files?
But yes, essentially. You can say that through you as a proxy, that I offered this deal: teach the younger generation survival skills, and I will give him the complete documentations as evidence for him to go over at his leisure.
I'll send you Cloud's item now, and I'll send the documents as soon as Sephiroth starts recruiting and teaching.

The item is currently on your pillow.
[And it is, in the shape of materia, with shifting colors and shimmers under the surface. But unlike most, this one shifts from a light to dark gray.]
