Seems like I've got my work cut out for me. [There is a very obvious and very warm smile on Zack's lips.] When are you going to introduce him, Mun? He'll be better in no time, you know. I'll make sure of it!

It's from the clock. [He frowns faintly.] I saw someone say the ticking gets louder if you live alone.

[shinra_dog]

The... clock. Uh-huh. *sideways stare*

Zack, you sure yer feelin' alright, yo?

[standing_alone]

It must sound crazy, but there's a big clock tower in the city. It...does things to some of the citizens sometimes. [He scratches the back of his head.] The ticking isn't much to worry about aside from it being annoying.

[shinra_dog]

*starting to dawn on him* Where you're livin' now, huh?

What does it... do t' them? The clock tower, I mean. *uneasy feeling*

[standing_alone]

Yeah. [Frowning, he thinks back.] I've heard stories of some people going crazy and others not acting like themselves. There's even a rumor that the clock tower is connected to how we arrived in the City in the first place.

[shinra_dog]

That's... pretty creepy, man. No two ways about it.

Er, sorry. Guess that ain't helpful, you bein' stuck there an' all.

But really. Kinda creepy. I'd watch yer back if I were you.

[standing_alone]

I don't like thinking about it if I can help it.

[Tending to puppies and practicing with his sword or doing squats is way more beneficial.]

It's harder to ignore it at night.

[shinra_dog]

*scrunches his forehead in thought*

There any way t' stop it? You said somethin' about livin' alone or whatever, right? If it's magic, ya just gotta break it, right?

[standing_alone]

That's easy enough. I just need a roommate. [He holds up the puppy again.] Problem solved!

[shinra_dog]

*thumbs up* Sweet deal! Try that an' see how it goes!

[standing_alone]

It'll work out. Plus he'll let me know when I need to be on my guard. [Yes, fluffykins is going to be an excellent guard dog.]
