nostalgia and other musings

[colorofthesky]

Reminiscing about old times, huh? I gotta say, I'm not really sure if I should be flattered or worried.

[ Re-reading old threads and canon review are perfectly legit pasttimes, Zack, ok!!

He just laughs quietly. ]

I know, I know. We had some good times together...and bad ones, when you felt like being an ass.

[ Wow, look, it was all in the name of fun!!!

He snorts. ]

So? What do you wanna do this time? I kind of like being retired, but if you have a place in mind, it's better to get it over with.

Stay retired. Insist on it.

[ He'd like retirement, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. ]

[colorofthesky]

[ He's been off the hook for more than half a year so that's...pretty good??

He laughs a little. ]

Well, I would, but I think the more I demand it, the more determined she'll be to do the opposite.

[ Muns are annoying things, aren't they? ]

She's kind of contrary.

[prideinthefall]

Then I recommend appealing to her reason.

[ If she has reason and that's always risky with these 'mundanes'. ]

If that fails, go 'quiet'. They seem to hate that.

[colorofthesky]

I don't really think they apply "reason" to us.

[ Isn't that why they yell about "feels" and things like that? It's weird; he doesn't get it. ]

I've been pretty quiet for a while. I guess she just decided she missed me.

[shockshot]

I guess she really loves having you around.

[She knows that feeling way too well.]

But here's hoping that she won't toss you into a volcano or something this time, hm?

[colorofthesky]

[ Long time no see, stranger. His expression brightens a little. ]

Well, she hasn't very much lately, but I can't really complain about that.

[ A volcano is nothing after an apocalypse. He could handle it, for sure. ]

It's good to see you.

[shockshot]

[Very long time no see. She's missed him.]

Lately. You never know on these folk.

[Desert, strange people, stranger situations...they've been through a lot haven't they.]

You too. I've missed you Zack.

[herplaceinthesun]

You should enjoy it. I know you're not really one for attention, but we both know ya wouldn't back down wherever you ended up.

[Zack didn't really fail at things much at all, except not dying but everyone screws that one up.]

Hopefully it's somewhere they're a fan of free will this time.

[colorofthesky]

[ Guuuuurl, you know he doesn't quit. Have a bright, Zack Fair smile! ]

I think retirement has been very good for me, actually. If I went anywhere, I'd like it to be somewhere fun.

[ His luck never works out like that, but he can pretend, right? ]

You'd have to advise me on the best vacation spots, though.

[herplaceinthesun]

[He also has a booty that won't quit but that's neither here nor there. Especially not with that smile, geez.]

If anyone deserved to take a load off and relax a while, it's definitely you.

[She thinks you can have fun anywhere, but even so-]

Go to the beach, for real this time! Drink something nice, play volleyball, hit on cute people in lowcut swimwear... enjoy your life. Don't make Aisha haveta find ya to make sure.

[planetdialup]

Do you think she has a place in mind?

Because you might not be the only one getting the dust brushed off of them.

[colorofthesky]

She hasn't got a clue, actually.

[ Which might or might not be a good thing. He isn't sure yet. ]

I think she's just being nostalgic.

[planetdialup]

[She isn't sure yet either. Because they ended up as pawns of witches and mafias last time?]

Hm. Well, you're worth getting nostalgic over.

I know this one has had a lot of feelings about you.

[Aerith no don't say it.]

[deilur]

Looks like we're all coming out of retirement.

[And there is no irony that doesn't escape him there.]

[colorofthesky]

[ Right?? He thought he was going to stay retired; this is all very unexpected. ]

Looks like it.

Have you heard if you're going anywhere yet?

[deilur]

[He shakes his head.]

Nowhere yet. Mine keeps saying she'll do a canon review, but you know muns. Won't stay that way for long.

[Cloud smiles slightly, if only because he's missed talking to Zack. Then he pauses and tilts his head.]

What about you?

[radiant_susan]

Aren't you a little young for retirement?

[says the young lady who is twice the age she appears]

[colorofthesky]

I've aged very gracefully.

[ Zack, pls.

He offers a cheeky grin. ]

Yo.

[radiant_susan]

[He gets a long look, and then a laugh at that.]

I'll say. Hello, Zack.

[Have a hug. She's missed him.]

[backwatertrooper]

Considering what they can do... maybe both?

[The briefly thoughtful frown melts away for a smile, though - he can't really help himself. And it's Zack; he can handle anything.]

[colorofthesky]

Maybe! She seems kind of indecisive this time.

[ No more apocalyptic shit. That's all he really asks for here. ]

Somewhere nice would be a good change of pace, though.

[backwatertrooper]

[You know, 'no more apocalyptic shit' could still include a lot of unpleasant stuff. Sure you don't want to qualify your requirements a little more, Zack?]

If so, hope it's actually nice. Even that doesn't really stop them, does it..?

[Cloud frowns, shaking his head. He hasn't really run afoul of that tendency much at all, but... well. He hasn't not, either.]

:)

[colorofthesky]

[ ?! ]

...Armada?

[ Space!senpai is that you???? ]

[typearmada]

Are you having a grand adventure?
