procrastinaaaation

[weallfalldown]

Hey, you! Yeah, you!

You should be doing something else, and you know it. Come on, where'd all that motivation go? You're almost done and here you are, sitting around, not doing your work. If I were someone else I'd be giving you a lecture, man. Seriously, there are way better things you could be doing, but...I can understand.

I'm pretty distracting. [Apparently neglecting work puffs up his ego. Just a little.]

Anyways, I'm kind of okay with this stuff we have going on. Aerith's around and she'll be set up in her own room. And...well, maybe we'll get this relationship stuff sorted out sometime, but for now? I think I'd rather skip the questions and catch up. I can do my best imitation of you and procrastinate. Maybe Ange will come around at some point too, but he's stubborn as a bull Chocobo, so. We'll see.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. But...I've got one last request. Just this one tiny little thing...

You think you could continue shopping around for a Cloud? I miss the guy...And it'd be nice to know he's alright with my own eyes rather than just word of mouth, yanno?

Anyways, get your ass in gear or I might just have to try my best at the quiet game. [Even if he'll last all of five minutes.]

Naw. I follow orders and make sure the civilians get out okay. I don't need all that serious, bowing stuff. Promise.

[And he was thinking you were an alright guy, but. Zack's kind of iffy on religion. Genesis and his talking about the goddess and a book non-stop really puts a damper in his enthusiasm for any kind of sects, but...he supposes it would be rude and assuming to not treat the guy with respect.]

A leader, huh? Well, nice to meet you Mr. Guado. [He'll just be tipping his head forward, not so keen on bowing.]

[sinsrequiem]

[ Zack, oh Zack. If he only knew the truth, but Seymour is actually pleased with how causal their conversation happens to be. ]

Ensuring the safety of the people is admirable task. I think nothing less of you for following your directives.

[ He chuckles. ] Please, call me "Seymour".

[weallfalldown]

[Hey, so long as you don't go on and on about the gift of the goddess, he's totally cool with you.]

Well, it was my dream and I'm sticking to it. [Okay, so maybe he does like him. He's kind of a nice guy once he gets to talking.] And got it. Seymour.

Works for me.

[sinsrequiem]

[ Deal. ]

Was it a dream to escape the boring humdrum of a mundane life for something more exciting?

[weallfalldown]

Well, if you promise you won't laugh... [Since a lot of people have laughed, just so you know, man.]

My dream is to become a hero. [And stay a hero.]

[sinsrequiem]

You've dreamed of being a hero?

[ That almost made him smile. ]

What a noble aspiration. Who wouldn't dream of that?

[weallfalldown]

I dunno. Sometimes the ShinRa crowd isn't so noble.

[There are a few choice few he can point out, but...he's not pointing any fingers President ShinRa.]

[sinsrequiem]

Nothing is ever perfect, thus are meant to make due with what we have.

[ /side eyes President Shinra and Hojo ]

[weallfalldown]

Sounds like a good plan to me.

How about you? Do you have any dreams?

[sinsrequiem]

Doesn't it?

[ Goodness, he knew that question would soon come. ]

Long ago I once possessed dreams of my own, and they weren't so different from yours.

[weallfalldown]

"Once possessed?" Meaning you don't any more?

[Call it habit. Zack likes to ask everyone. It comes with his Dreams and honor mantra he inherited.]

Come on, everyone's gotta have dreams. Did they change as you got older?

[sinsrequiem]

[ Zack's curiosity makes him chuckle a little. It feels rather good not to be the "Maester" for a brief while, and simply be himself. ]

Yes, my dreams did change from childish musings of grandeur to disappointing truths. Had I still possessed my desire to be a hero, I would like to think you and I would've been similar at heart.

[weallfalldown]

You know, they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I really don't believe that.

[The fact that the guy thinks his life is disappointing? Well, that's a bit of a downer. Here's a Zack pep-talk to lift your spirits a bit, man.]

My friend told me that if I wanted to be in SOLDIER I needed to have dreams and honor...but I think its not just SOLDIER. I bet, if you gave some of those dreams of yours life again, you could do what ever you wanted to.

The sky's the limit, right?

[sinsrequiem]

[ He simply stares at Zack with such an incredulous gaze before speaking once more. You're a strange one, Zack. Good at heart, but strange or at least in his opinion. ]

One can only hope, although your words do indeed comfort.

[weallfalldown]

Well I hope so. That's what I meant them to do.

/omg this thread

[sinsrequiem]

[ It's then that a smile blooms at last, an actual smile and now his earlier smirks. ]

A "hero" you are, Zack Fair.

/crying to her friends about how amazing it is ;A;

[weallfalldown]

[Oh stoppit, you'll make him blush.]

I dunno about that, but I sure do try.

If anything its the thought that counts, and if i've got just one person thinking it, then...I guess mission accomplished.

/doing the exact same!

[sinsrequiem]

[ Another chuckle escapes him. ]

Then allow me to successfully state that you've accomplished something worth value today. Your words hold more weight than I previously thought.

If you're in the market for a game..../eyebrows

[weallfalldown]

Really? Well, guess that's my quota for the day.

[He grins, pretty damn pleased with himself.] Its not every day you hear that from some religious guy.

...I'm interested. /eyebrow waggle

[sinsrequiem]

What a pity.

[ Zack should be pleased. The Maester doesn't give compliments easily. ]

You would think that those who are willed by the words of gods, would be quick to agree with someone so earnest.

F yes, my dear. F Yes.

[weallfalldown]

I think I can put in some over time though. I always was a work-a-holic. [Even if his work was kind of him getting to be a big kid with a sword and breaking things.]

I dunno. I've met some interesting godly people in my time.

/the reserve is made!

[sinsrequiem]

Such as? I'm curious to know as of whom you've met thus far.

*^* I feel like I succeeded in charming god

[weallfalldown]

Well, mostly just Genesis. And god damn was he a pain in the ass.

I try to keep an open mind though.

fufufu~ you give me too much credit

[sinsrequiem]

He sounds as delightful as any thorn.

[ There's a hint of subdue sarcasm in his tone. ]

8D

[weallfalldown]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

The guy just talked and talked and talked. [And while Zack does the same thing? He at least makes sense when he runs off at the mouth.]
