from the depths of the cobwebb-y headspace

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Phew. Been awhile since you've brought me out, mun. I figured I'd become one with the cobwebs back there.

[Being shoved in the deep reaches of the headspace means a Zack with lots of pent up energy. Which of course means he's doing squats.]

And I get the whole "wanting to test me out" before putting me anywhere, but don't take too long. I wanna get out there and be in these games the others keep talking [Translation: whine or rail about] about! Doesn't matter to me where, I can handle anything!

Anything?

[Maya raises an eyebrow.]

That's quite the claim there.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

1st Class SOLDIER, ma'am. I'm trained to be prepared for virtually anything.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

You'll be thinking differently when that mun of yours drops you into someplace horrid.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Define "horrid".

[iam_sephiroth]

Greetings, Zack.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

[...oh crap.]

Sephiroth.

[He's very, very cautious. Why is Sephiroth being civil? Last time they met, he drank the Jenova kool-aid and decided to play the pyrotechnician, with Nibelheim as his testing grounds.]

My Sephy is mainly pre-Nibelheim.

[iam_sephiroth]

How are you fairing, Zack?

I thought so! Wasn't sure. Zack's already dead, so :c

[ugly_soldier_dude]

I'm... all right.

[What is going on? It'll take him a minute to start putting things together.]

Are... you okay?

[pyritic]

Shouldn't it matter? You could at least try to catch a break. Someone might think you like getting in trouble.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Nah. I've chilled out in here long enough. I'm ready for some action.

[pyritic]

Then get out. Just be careful where you're going.

[ he's getting the feeling that telling Zack this is pointless

but he did already see him die once, so he wants to say it. ]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

I'll be fine. The worst I'll be up against is a cranky goddess and a lot of sand. We've both faced worse, right? So this should be a cakewalk.

[There's a bit more to it than that, but he doesn't want to worry Cloud because yes, he does remember dying and no, he doesn't want to do it again, either.]

[zantetsukenlcie]

[ For a little while, she just stares, because she's not really sure what the squats are all about. ]

You should be careful what you ask for. Or don't you get that most people complain about the places they're put?

Just as quick background, I have a Light muse as well. He's sort of terrified of her, so...

[ugly_soldier_dude]

[Zack immediately stiffens. The heck, his mun can't play both "muses" off of each-

...Oh God, it's a different one. Maybe this one won't try to use him as target practice.]

I hear all about it. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have much to lose, and it's better than sitting around doing nothing all the time.

LOL Brilliant.

[zantetsukenlcie]

[ Well, there's no guarantee with that. But this Lightning isn't prone to shooting at people without serious cause; she gets enough training with her own headspace-mates after all, who are a myriad of fighters and mages themselves. Plus? Rude! Attacking other people's innocent muses like that... Her mun would do something horrible as punishment, like throw her into one of those memes or something. ]

Have you ever been anywhere before?

x3

[ugly_soldier_dude]

[This mun tried to do that. It just made things worse. And to be fair, Zack does have a penchant for pissing her off...]

Nope. Almost got put someplace, but she changed her mind at the last minute! And I've been sitting in here for months.

/skips happily in here~

[extroverting]

At least you'll be making it out of your mun's head space? Mine got as far as an app a really long time ago and gave up!

[She was cheering for you so hard, Mun :(]

I believe you can handle it, too.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Mine never even got that far! She promised great things, even reserved me, but then never went through on an app or anything!

[They both have been jipped.]

Thanks. I'll make you proud!

[herhero]

Now that's the kinda confidence I like to hear! Most people are all too set on whining about where they're going to just get excited about finally having a place to go.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

[FINALLY!]

Right? I get the places aren't perfect but hey, they've gotta be better than stuck in a corner! And good things come out of them too, right?

[herhero]

Sure they do! I've met tons of people I never would've before and I get to be with my girl and all my friends again. [ Which is more than he has at home right now, womp womp :( ] The place I'm at can be kinda dull sometimes, but it's better than people make it out to be.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

That sounds great! [If only Aerith was someplace... but he'll have to trudge by. Cloud was on the island, so that was something, right?] Where are you at?

[weallfalldown]

Just got to say man, you did not luck out when it came to a journal name.

[In any case, he isn't sure if he's offended, or just confused.] I mean, anyone can see you're a fine piece of work, if I do say so myself.

U.G.L.Y's not the right word for it. I'm thinking more along the lines of...yanno, sexy. [He might be a little biased though.]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Right?! But the mun thought it'd be funny if she used that little quip that kid in Wutai made about ugly Shinra SOLDIER dudes, and here we are.

[Someone who sympathizes at least, even if it's... himself.]

[weallfalldown]

That kid? Aww man was she a pain...cute, but a pain.

[Hey, its cool man. He would give you a pat on the back out of sympathy if it wasn't quite so...strange]
