#security cams

[The security cam is pointed downward, filming a vacant hallway on the third floor]

[Inch by inch some movement is seen. Shadows approach]

[General Sephiroth appears, struggling as he drags Commander Rhapsodos by the arms—the latter who appears unconscious…Almost…Dead?]

[Then in comes Commander Hewley, who rushes to help him by grabbing Genesis’s legs. The two men begin hauling the sleeping red SOLDIER down the hallway. It appears like they’re arguing in the process]

[Sephiroth suddenly looks into the security camera, face showing a minuscule microexpression of panic. He then lets go of Genesis’s arms at once. Genesis hits his head on the ground, upper body twisting into an unnatural position. Angeal is seen screaming at Sephiroth while the General reaches into his coat, pulling out a piece of paper]

[Sephiroth holds it up to the camera. It reads: NOT MURDER. WE CAST SLEEP TO SEDATE HIM. TAKING HIM TO DENTIST]

[Sephiroth proceeds to neatly fold the paper back up, stuff it in his pocket and grab Genesis’s arms again. They haul him away off-frame]

[The video feed shows the vacant entry way to the SOLDIER floor. All is quiet until the sound of glass breaking and screaming is picked up by the camera]

[Genesis zooms by the frame screaming bloody murder. He has an unidentifiable creature tangled in his hair and he's screeching: "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!]

[Angeal runs after him with a flamethrower, screaming: "STOP MOVING YOU'LL ANGER IT MORE!]

[Sephiroth stumbles after them with a camera in hand. He's in stitches, laughing so hard that tears stream down his face. He walks out of frame]

[The security camera video is pointed downward, filming a hallway on the 13th floor. An approaching sound of rattling metal, squeaking wheels and laughter is picked up]

[Three people appear on screen. Genesis is seen recklessly pushing along a stolen shopping cart with Sephiroth and Angeal inside. All of them are laughing. Genesis is accidentally slamming the cart into the walls and increasing speed]

[They disappear off-frame]

[Three minutes pass. The hallway is seemingly vacant once more before some shadows are seen approaching the frame]

[Director Lazard appears on video pushing along the shopping cart. He looks positively outraged. Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal are dragging their feet behind him. All three of them have their heads down]

"—Ashamed!" Director Lazard shouts. "I'm absolutely Ashamed!"

[The camera is turned on by Zack, who's staring into the lens with a wicked grin. He pans the camera right, where Sephiroth is standing next to him in the elevator. He looks bored and uncomfortable]

"Okay, Seph, this—" Zack holds up an air horn, "—is an air horn."

[The camera zooms in on Sephiroth, who uncrosses his arms and frowns. He takes the air horn from Zack, then begins to inspect it]

"And what purpose does it serve?" Sephiroth asks, to which Zack responds with cryptic laughter.

"Entertainment."

[The video next cuts to Zack filming himself and Sephiroth speed-walking into the SOLDIER lounge. Zack is trying desperately to conceal his giggles while Sephiroth has a prominent smirk]

[Zack whirls the camera around, zooming in on Director Lazard sitting at a table with his back turned. Genesis is sitting at the same table reading a book]

"Oh man, this gonna be priceless!" Zack remarks.

He films Sephiroth sneaking up on the director. Lazard has a full cup of coffee in his left hand

[Sephiroth swoops in like a wraith, then blows the air horn right in Lazard's ear. The siren blares throughout the lounge. Director Lazard screams, jolting is hand and splashing Genesis with the coffee]

Genesis immediately gets up with a fire materia building up in his hand.

"SHIT! RUN!" Zack screams.

[The camera is pointed downward at the hallway where all the 1st class SOLDIER offices are. Genesis, visibly disgruntled, stomps past Sephiroth's office door. His open coat gets caught on the door handle]

"SON OF A—"

[He yanks his coat away, then proceeds to kick, punch and fight the door as if it were an opponent]

[The door suddenly flies open outward. It slams into Genesis's face with a thwack and knocks him to the ground]

[Sephiroth peeks out into the hallway, eyes landing on a fallen Genesis on the ground. He looks confused]

SOLDIER Vlogging Shenanigans pt. 31

[Genesis turns the camera on, then proceeds to spend the next minute solely fixing his hair and testing out different angles. The background is a rather opulent interior in Genesis's apartment; a living room furnished with rich reds and browns]

[Genesis doesn't notice Cloud and Zack appear in the background. Both of them are wearing expensive dresses and snickering. Cloud is dressed in a tasteful, blue cocktail dress and Zack in a silky green one]

"Okay!" Genesis begins. "Short answer is no, sadly, I don't dabble in drag nor any sort of cross-dressing."

[Zack and Cloud begin twirling each other around and goofing off. Genesis is still unaware]

"And I wouldn't dare call occasionally trying my hand at makeup and stilettos drag," Genesis scoffs. "It's a medium I hold in high regard, and would rather not sully it's name with such a pedestrian definition."

[He veers his gaze towards the ceiling, seemingly deep in thought]

"You know, I don't believe I even have garments in my possession to cross-dress with."

[Zack and Cloud had disappeared briefly, but have since come back with high heels and gloves. They're now trying them on while flouncing around]

"Anyway," Genesis waves his hand dismissively, "I hope that answered your question."

[The camera is situated on the 59th floor, pointing down at the escalators. The time at the bottom of the video reads 2:14 AM]

[Echoing voices are heard before a group of rowdy young men, all of them clearly drunk, appear getting on the escalator]

[It's Sephiroth, Angeal, Genesis and Zack. Zack and Genesis are singing the chorus to Hit Me Baby One More Time. Sephiroth and Angeal provide the backing vocals. All of them are either doing exaggerated arm gestures or dancing]

[The camera is pointed towards Director Lazard's office on the SOLDIER floor. The door is an immaculate, transparent glass barely visible as a door on the video feed. Unfortunately it is also not electronic]

[Sephiroth is seen walking directly towards it, not a care in the world, completely aloof to the closed door]

[An ear-splitting bang marks the moment Sephiroth walks directly into the door. The glass vibrates. Sephiroth stumbles back, both hands covering his nose]

[He looks disgruntled and a little dazed as he pushes the door open, one hand still cradling his nose]

-

[The video feed next cuts to two other figures strolling towards the closed door. Angeal and Genesis are seen casually chatting as they make their way into Lazard's office. Genesis has a cup of coffee in hand]

[An even louder bang as the two walk into the glass. Angeal immediately falls back, covering his face with both hands. Genesis's coffee is spilled on the floor, down the front of his red coat, everywhere. He's stumbling confused in place, one hand holding his forehead and the other holding the empty cup of coffee]

-

[The video feed lastly cuts to a clear, empty shot of the door. Director Lazard is seen behind the glass, both hands behind his back and squinting at something outside. His expression morphs into utter horror. He leaps back, running away]
