Apping to ryslig because FF7 can always use more bodyhorror.

Okay, I know I'm a pretty resilient guy and that's probably why I was your first pick to put up on the chopping block, but seriously? Normally I wouldn't like going on an extended relaxing vacation but after six years of on-again off-again flinging around to cities and hell and fairy-infested forests I'd rather have that than this... Turning into a--... Yeah, that's not a sore spot or anything. And stop referring to it as "the 'M' word".

Saying that possibly lone-canon-warrioring is a 'blessing' isn't really helping, either. They're still people, even the NPCs. Me not knowing them now doesn't make the scenario any better.

And no. This isn't bitching. This is a pretty damn civil protest considering the situation here.

Turning into a...?

[Oh haha hi, Cloud, Zack feels kinda weird being so pissy in front of you.]

Um, well... "B-Movie Monster," I guess, if you look at a lot of the options. Still won't know for a month, if I'm one of the lucky bunch to end up there.

[Huh. That hits a number of bad buttons. He can understand why Zack is pissy.]

Want me to hurt them? [Because he will. For Zack.]

[...Yeah not even going into the whole compulsive man-eating requirement. Or the scary thought of what if Angeal shows up.]

Eh, nah, I can handle what he throws at me. I mean, I'm not gonna be happy about it, but it's better than watching any of the other kids in his noggin fall apart. [Is he waving this all off? Yes. Yes he is. He's supposed to be protective of you, dammit, not the other way around.]

So where've you landed yourself, Cloud? Somewhere loads better, I hope.

...I'm very glad that mine has decided to give me a break.

[FROM ONE HORROR GAME OLDIE TO YOU, ZACK: GOOD FUCKING LUCK, DUDE.]

[There is a fatigued look in his eyes. Why must Zack always be the hero? He wishes they could swap places. Zack has done enough.]

You shouldn't have to. [Those words are grumbled.] Nowhere right now. I was in Wonderland...and then a castle. Since then, I've been gathering dust.

[Not that after Advent Children Cloud is any better, mind.]

Considering the place I'm headed, I don't think anyone should. But that's... life, I guess. [Or at least the story of his.]

And man, don't say it like that. It makes it sound depressing. You've got a break! Take your bike for a spin in a nice green pasture! Or something like that.

...

And, actually, don't say that at all, or the mundane'll start getting that glint in his eye.

What was that they were saying about a rattle-tail or scorpion legs?

[HE WOULD HAVE HANDLED THE TOWER BETTER.]

Don't even start.

[Yeah well THEY BLEW UP THE TOWER, sorry, dude. Too little too late.]

She's choosing to invade new territory rather than focusing on me. Do not dare encourage otherwise.

[Nope, he's not.]

I can't help you there. [And that sucks. He's trying to let his old wounds heal, but it's not a quick or easy process.] You just want me to get on Tifa's bad side.

[If he comes in covered in mud, welp.]

It's hopeless. Once he has his mind set, we better fall in line like good soldiers.

Just figured I'd remind you. [In case there was any chance of gloating. Lucky bastard, getting a break and all.]

And hey, I'm not saying a word. Even the mun's being respectful - I think you're pretty safe.

Are you kidding? I've wished you guys nothing but the best from the beginning. I'm not about to mess that up. [WINK. Ah, young love, even though you're technically older now at this point.]

Whoa, hey now, no, bad idea to just give up like that. I mean, I'm screwed, but that's just asking for enabling. [...Though.] Wow, hey, was that sarcasm, Cloud? Are you yanking my chain with a newfound sense of humor?

.. Ah. [ STORY OF HIS LIFE? ] A 'blessing'? [ really? ]

[His eyebrows rise and he slowly, oh so slowly, smiles. The expression is still foreign, but hey - he knows Zack is a good guy. The best. It's amusing how quickly this man - who has enough problems of his own - jumps in to console him.

He's not sure he deserves it.]

Newfound? [The word is said ironically.] I've always had a sense of humor.

[No. Really. Believe him.]

[Zack would be more likely to jump and point in shock at the Coffin Guy except there happened to be a Vincent at one of the above-mentioned previous games. So yeah, hey there, he's just sighing.]

I think it's a dark joke about not accidentally tearing apart friends, if you're going in not knowing anyone.

[Since let's be real, he has experience with that.]

[Silly Cloud doesn't seem to realize that in addition to Zack legit liking his friends, fussing over them is his selfish coping mechanism for dealing with trauma.]

Okay, sure, but it used to be quieter. And more awkward. Not that I'm complaining, considering the alternative to what you said would be willing coming along and that's just all colors of a bad idea, y'know?

[He'll never understand that. Zack is his idol forever and ever, okay?]

If it was up to me, I would follow you. [BAD IDEAS ARE HIS LIFE.] You'd follow me.

[He doesn't even question that.]

Will you miss her? [Aerith.]

[Yup Cloud just keep that image he's cool with that nervous hysterical laughter.] Well, yeah, but. That's different.

...And, uh, if you're talking about who I think you're talking about, she's kind of the main contender for why I'll "possibly" be a lone canon warrior. But I mean, sure, yeah, if she doesn't show up I will but it's better than watching her have to go through the whole mess too.

[He's incredibly stubborn. You'll never convince him otherwise. ~~Bwhaha.~~]

How? [Really, explain.] I'm stronger - a lot stronger - than I was when we last saw each other.

[Aw, Zack. :( ]

She'd want to be with you. I hope it works out.

I'd encourage you to jump right to the not-civil approach, buuuuuut I already know that doesn't work either.

Ahhhh. Vacationing was nice.

Your mun is causing you trouble too, huh?

I'm not arguing. I was just hoping you turned out a little smarter than me. Self-preservation, and all that. [He knows you didn't, but he can joke, right?]

[Fidget, fidget.] Aaah, maybe you're right, but I'm still not happy about it.

Edited 2014-09-24 00:01 (UTC)

It probably encourages them, if anything.

How're things going on your end?

Sadly. Like I was telling Cloud, better me than some of the other options over here, but I'm still not that excited, you know? But you said "too," so. What've you got to look forward to in your neck of the woods, Tifa?

I understand. I wish I could help you, though, Zack. [She has full faith in him and his abilities. He is, after all, pretty badass.]

My Mun has completely lost her mind. She um... wants me to become some sort of sex fiend.

Well, she is looking at the app. That's the good-bad news. It's always more fun with company, right? [ even when 'it' is 'being turned into human-eating monsters'. RIGHT? ]

[Tifa's not so bad, herself. Cloud was right to get the starry eyes over her. Anyway, as it is, Zack's whistling like a bomb drops - in a "wow that sucks" kind of way.]

Yeah, wish I could help you out, too. With just those two choices on the table I think I'm getting the longer straw. Kinda wish you could come along with me and Aerith instead.

I think you're missing the word "misery" in there somewhere... [Maybe they'll get lucky and one will be man-eating and the other soul-sucking so they can halve the casualties via insanity-driven tag teaming. Sounds like a date, right? Awesome.]

[Better not say that Cloud bit out loud, she might get girly.]

Aerith is going with you? [Hearing that one of her dearest friends was around brightened Tifa considerably. But his hesitance over the entire situation... Just what kind of world were they going to?] My Mun is being uncharacteristically silent about your situation. You'll be able to stick together, right?

[She'd like to be with the two again, even if the situation plain old sucked. Saying that it had been ages since she'd seen either would be the understatement of the century.]

Good news! Mun discovered a zombie "meme." So instead of sexing Sephiroth up, I can try not to die from being shot in the head.

[ It's like a date where they split the bill! Clearly awesome. ]

Well, "misery loves company" seemed a lot more negative to say, but it does come to mind. More reason why you shouldn't be alone, I think.

...Now my mun's saying I don't have enough negative expressions in my icons. I think she's picking up on the wrong issue here!
