[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus.

The image eventually sharpens. A small fish- mostly green- swims in quick loops, darting around the screen. Considering all the water, it doesn't look out of place.

A single voice finally cuts in, though it fades in and out.]

Hello!

It's much brighter out here.

[Something has left the Inner City.]

[Yeah, this great white shark person? Moving rapidly now, towards the Inner City wall. But until he gets there, Sephiroth will settle for video.]

Hello. [See, he can be polite. Sort of.] I am surprised to see you so... singular.

It has previously been difficult to distinguish the pieces, however. Has leaving the Inner City changed something?

I cannot tell if it is because of your leaving or for another reason, but you speak with only one voice. You are... Thalatte?

Physical distance from the main body of the Animus, then? I wonder what would happen if you went even farther away...

[He's almost as much thinking out loud as anything else there, but he figures there are worse ways to talk to the slightly loopy Animus. He's reached the wall now, and he's skimming around the Inner City fairly rapidly, looking for the little green fish.]

I am Sephiroth.

[In another situation that'd almost sound sentimental. But the fish darts out when he approaches, swimming around him.]

Do the rest know that you are out here, then?

[Hello, little fish. Sharkiroth promises not to try to eat you. What would happen if you nommed an Animus!fish, anyway? He slows down but doesn't stop moving, swimming in almost absent circles.

You seem to enjoy this ocean. Is it your doing?

[She appreciates the gesture! Fish would move out of the way. Hard to catch! If caught, would nomnomnom her way out. And run away. She follows his swimming, darting in her own circles around him.]

Mostly?

[He isn't surprised by 'mostly', just curious. Sephiroth tries to keep the smaller fish more or less in sight as she darts around.]

I have found it reasonably pleasant as events go.
