Rufus Shinra has posed:
The Worlds had fallen, Rufus had surived the fall. Even in his exile with the fall however he'd been called home by his father. He'd been assuming his job as Vice President of the Company. All things considered? From Exile to Second in command? It was a good start and with the chaotic nature of this world? It was only a matter of time befor his plans could progress. It was interesting though his father was away in Junon so he was fully incharge of the operations in Goug.

He'd checked his notes for the day and noticed he had an appoitment shortly one Souji Mursasme had come to talk about some very large bulk weapn purchases. Such an sale would help the Shinra in it's current state not to mention put his Father at ease about his retrun.

"Miss Mavis would you please show Mr Mursame in?"

Shouji would be shown into the offic it was a huge one taking up the entire floor, open windows looking down upn the city below and a huge desc built into the floor of some heavy metal which is infact the same sort of armor alloy they used in the creation of Junon's armour screens. Rufus sits at his desk awaiting his guest.

Souji Murasame has posed:
The Murasame heir enters the office, looking around the appointments with a glance and taking them in. His own office looked much like this one, before his world was destroyed... Though his desk was wood, not armor alloy. The idea is interesting, however.

He smiles faintly to himself and inclines his head to Rufus, stepping forward to offer his hand. "Mr. Shinra. A pleasure to meet you." For those who care, he is wearing his blade. He never leaves it behind. It is, however, peacebonded. Souji folds his hands behind himself. "I have been very impressed with Shinra's production quality and technological level. It reminds me much of my own world." Though Ramuh ran on harnessed lightning, not Mako.

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra takes in Souji as he arrives and seems to at least not disappove of the other businessman he seems to be quite sharp and like himself which could prove to be a problem. Either way they were here to do business, "So I have heard you have an interest in some of our products." Rufus also never is unarmed himself he respects that, it's amazing the sorts of firearms he can hide in his coat after all.

"I have heard some information on the band of suvirors from your world. They seem to be keeping themselves busy. It has proven to be worlds of our level of development seem to be fiarly rare in the world at large. You could count on one hand how many there are. Though we should get down to buiness shouldn't we?"

Souji Murasame has posed:
"Technology is always a valued commodity in my world. Our land was rich in energy which led to rapid development." Souji says, nodding. "My... associates are engaging the challenges of the worlds in their own way. I, however, am more interested in establishing mutually profitable relationships with the powers that be. Powers such as the Shinra Electric Corporation." He pulls out a folder from his suit and offers it to Rufus. "After observation of your products, this contains a list of some of the material we are interested in obtaining, as well as an initial offering."

The folder itself outlines a listing of several bulk shipments of small and medium arms, body armor, and several small manned combat vehicles, approximately enough to outfit a platoon of troops. "Should I gain good results, further business may be in the making as well."

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra says "It is quite it gives the comon man an edge or a level playing field against those who make use of magic." The Shinra has other ways to level it out too such as man made Materia.Rusdus litens on and looks over the folder's contents. Weapons, gear, some IFVs and other things the shinra make here. There very well would be follow up sales of ammo, parts and the like as well.

It's the way you do business the polite words, often the plan with in plans.

"This should be simple enough for us to meet this order."

He set sthe folder down on his desk and contiunes to think for a moment

"Many are backwards and sometimes down right savages sadly in my experiance in the world of Ruin."

Souji Murasame has posed:
Souji nods, considering Rufus' words. "Indeed they are. And even as powerful as Shinra is, they can only stretch so far right now. I hope to assist in bringing the knowledge of modern, more civilized methods to these people. Technology and comfort allows them to live at greater standards, giving them a happier, more productive life."

And you can make more money off of them too.

Souji's expression grows curious as he looks to Rufus, watching him intently. "What was your experience like, Mr. Shinra, in establishing and growing the Company? Did you meet many challenges in your work?"

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra says "More productive citizens are far better customers." Fear was good for keeping people in line, his father did waste lot of money but it was fear of Wutai that generally kept the people in line and he didn't lift a finger.

"Those who are sharp enough reap the rewards of bringing such to the people. I have it keeps me sharp to put it midly. We were in the middle of a war with nation known as Wutai when our world well. To be honest it was the Wutian themselves who made a deal with the Shadow lords to save themselves at the expense of our world."

Souji Murasame has posed:
"The Wutai and the Shadow Lords, eh?" Souji looks to Rufus. "Who are these Shadow Lords? What makes them so fearsome as to be able to destroy a world? Are these Wutai people truly so fallen that they would make such a deal? Either way, you survived such an ordeal intact... It speaks much to your capabilities."

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra says "The Shadow Lords come from may differen worlds but they follow a Dark Faye known as Malifant they contorl he darknesa and so far as I understand can control the heartless directly. It is very possible they were directly behind the destruction of your home. Wutai? It's quite simple they had lost to us and in desperation made a deal with the with them. We were assaulted on all fronts but overwhelemd by their endless numbers of heartless. It does that any of uf us surived. I do take it you have been making the rounds as it were to other Companies such as Xanatos Industies and the like. Given we deal in different products." Sure there's more overlap but Xanatos is far more into robotics than the Shinra is advanced as they are.

Souji Murasame has posed:
"I have not heard of Xanatos Industries until recently." Souji replies. "I hear tell their world just came back. An interesting concept, that a world can be lost, but return..." Souji looks away, lost in thought for a moment as he puts one arm up, using it to support the other as he taps the side of his Moogle Glasses.

"You are able to provide what I need at the moment. We'll see what happens from there. To be honest... I intend to rebuild my corporation, rebuild my family's legacy. We will begin manufacturing again. But first things first." He smiles. "We all have to start somewhere."

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra nods. "Yes, the ones who did it have caught my notice." Prehaps he'd have to pay the infamous TDA a visit someday but that was not today. "It has proven that yes one can recover what has been lost." Keyblades what a mysterious thing. Still knowing much of what he has lost could be wrested from the hands of the Shadow Lords? Was quite the motivation to keep at it.

"Indeed, I must admit I'm curious about your world's technology. It shall be interesting to watch."

Rivals once would have bothered Rufus greatly but in a world like this has made his thinking change. Given how focused on surival everyone is. "Very well."

Rufus pauses to give a price to the total shipment there is somewhat of a discount for the bulk order but it's still a fair bit, it shouldn't be beyond Shouji ability to pay. Rufus does want to try to encourage Souji to not be a one time customer after all.

Souji Murasame has posed:
Souji thinks. It's within his means. He nods. The initial investment is applicable. With a smile, Souji gestures. "I will stop downstairs on my way out and provide the agreed aupon sum to your accountants, and provide instructions. I will pick up the materials when they are prepared."

Souji pauses again. "The Murasame Family was known for being able to accomplish things for their business partners. Perhaps there is something we can do for Shinra to show our good faith in future work?"

Rufus Shinra has posed:
Rufus Shinra would as always watch his back but Rufus was a man who tended to keep his word. Or he'd not get anywhere once he gave it. The trick was sometimes getting Rufus to do so. Still it looked promising with Souji, it would be itneresing to see where it leads.

"My accountant will be ready for you and you shall be contacted when the shipment is ready."

"So you say humm the may be very well something you could do for Shinra."

Rufus takes a moment to gague Souji and think about just what to request of him.

"It's a simple thing really but a very useful one. If you were to keep us appriase of any organization claiming to call it self the AVALANCHE it would be most useful. They are a violent terrorist group that attempted to destroy Midgar in the past."

Sure he was funding them back then but anyone who knows that are long dead thanks to eithe their own stupidy or the Turks taking them down.

Souji Murasame has posed:
"The AVALANCHE, eh..." Souji nods. "If we encounter these people, we will inform you immediately." He shakes Rufus' hand again. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Shinra. I look forward to much more in the future."

And another piece of the puzzle falls into place.
