Is this NOT what he had planned

[colourofthesky]

So, I'm thinking we got some lines crossed at some point, mun. I was really really looking forward to getting out again, 'cause don't get me wrong, you're nice and all but I need to do something. But then...well, you gotta go and do something like this.

I mean, really? You couldn't find one place to send me that's nice? I'm not asking for a lot, just don't send me to some prison, you know? Is that so hard?

[Sigh. Yes, he knows there's no changing the mun's mind once it's set.]

Man, you owe me.

[animusangelus]

Where are they thinking of sending you?

[colourofthesky]

Some place called henlein. It's this prison where I get to lose my memories 'cause my mun is just swell like that.

[Pout, so much pouting!]

I hope your mun is treating you better, Spike.

[animusangelus]

Why would they choose that place? [Cloud winces sympathetically.] Sort of? I was killed during a chess match recently.

[colourofthesky]

[Shrugs.] She likes the idea of the set up. No idea why, other than her being off her rocker.

[What? Sorry, give Zack a moment.]

Since when did chess get so cut throat? Jezz man, what's with muns doing this crazy stuff to us?

[championofwutai]

I thought you were some big, strong SOLDIER type! You're complainin' about some prison?

You know what? Zack Fair's a chicken.

[colourofthesky]

[YOU!]

I'm not complaining...I'm just pointing out how stupid the how idea is.

[It's not the same thing, Yuffie. Don't tell him otherwise!]

Besides, I don't see you wanting to walk into a place that wants to screw with all your memories, kid.

[championofwutai]

[YOU.]

You should be able to handle it! Pull some hero mumbo jumbo outta that big head of yours and overcome all obstacles or something!

But that's because I'm not! My mun's learned better not to send me anywhere. I'm too smart for her.

[colourofthesky]

Easier said than done this time. 'Cause how am I going to pull off the heroics if I can't even remember my own name?

[Oh Gaia, sorry. Yep, he's totally going to laugh there.]

Really? You gotta funny way of saying 'too annoying to deal with'.

[shinra_dog]

*reads up on it and winces* Damn... I thought I had it bad at glaxcinprison but that place... Yeah.

Fuck, I really am sorry, Zack. *shudders*

[colourofthesky]

[Oh boy, if a Turk is saying sorry you just know you're in for a hella of a ride.]

You in a prison too? Man, this isn't even funny.

[shinra_dog]

At least I can say I deserve it? *shrugs and half-smiles, trying to go for encouraging.*

Yeah, Muns can be pretty cruel. Like ya jus' found out.

[colourofthesky]

[Ptf, well, can't get any more truthful than that.] I thought Turks never got caught?

I knew she could have some awful ideas, but she's always treated me pretty well until now.

[shinra_dog]

*embarrassed smile* Turks... usually don't get caught. I mean, it started as a mutually beneficial thing... Friends with benefits, y'know, I'm sure ya had somethin' the same with yer Mun.

They treat ya nice, y'all have fun for, well, who knows. Months, years. An' then ya get comfortable, that's th' mistake. Then they pull shit like this. Send ya t' prisons an' all sorts a' craziness.

[youwillrot]

[The corners of his lips turn ever so slightly upward.]

You haven't changed much, I see.

[colourofthesky]

You heard of 'don't fix what isn't broken', right?

[He grins a bit before sighing once more.]

Though seems the mun disagrees with that saying.

[youwillrot]

Can't imagine why anyone would ever have reason to disagree with you.

[Sephiroth. Be nice.]

[colourofthesky]

My point exactly! [Because Zack logic = best logic.] Couldn't find me somewhere nice to be. Nope, off to prison I go. That's never forgive action right there.

[youwillrot]

Don't say that, Zack.

[He's smiling, but...]

You should be thrilled. We're going to be together again, after all.

[generallydemonic]

I imagine 'nice' would only bore them. But you always were one to think the best of people.

I count myself lucky that options for sending me to a game are few.

[colourofthesky]

If me having a good time is boring then I'm ready to be bored to tears.

Huh, that so?

[generallydemonic]

I would hazard a guess that it isn't really your decision to make, however.

[Have a brief nod, Zack.] I have... special circumstances that most games won't accept.
