... well. Can't say I saw that one coming.

So what does this mean?

[he waits for an answer. an answer that doesn't come from his mun]

Don't even know where I'm going, huh? [shrug] That's fine. I'll still be here.

[Have a familiar face pop up, Cloud.]

Are you having issues with your player, Cloud? I'm sorry! Me and mine get along fairly well. I wish you had as much luck.

[liveandforgive]

[he never thought that he'd start getting used to seeing Aerith again, but...well, when in dear_mun]

Not really. He's just real indecisive.

[floweroftheslums]

[Hey, she's one of a kind, chocobo hair!]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. If there wasn't already one of you here, I'd recommend it. Although, to be honest, my player has expressed a place for me that comes with wings.

....

Sounds a little morbid to me.

[liveandforgive]

[one of a kind he'll never soon forget]

Wings... [dot dot dot] You mean luceti?

[floweroftheslums]

[And she'll never forget you either, Cloud! The only other man she's ever loved.]

That's the one! It looks cute and Yuffie's there. But I'm not sure. I like rubycity_rp a lot!

[liveandforgive]

Mm. I'm not really interested in that place. [because experiments? oh that's a button for him if he ever knew one] But...you said that I'm already there. At rubycity_rp.

He's taking care of you, right?

[floweroftheslums]

[That question has her blushing a bit.]

Well, you're actually more concerned about Tifa, but then we all are. She tried to take on Sephiroth by herself.

[Her blush grows a little deeper.]

Besides...Zack's there too.

[liveandforgive]

Ah-- !

Is she alright?

[and that's where Zack comes into play. it seemed everyone was there]

That's good at least.

[floweroftheslums]

[Aerith frowns.]

She's fine now. She spent a while in the hospital, but it happened before I got to the city.

It's the four of us, Sephiroth and Elena and Reno from the Turks. It's been... interesting so far.

[liveandforgive]

[he sighs in relief at that]

Good...

Of all the people there, I'm most concerned about Sephiroth. Is he being kept in check?

[floweroftheslums]

...Not entirely.

[liveandforgive]

My other self should be able to handle him. Just wish I could help from here...

[but he knows his place. alas, muse]

[floweroftheslums]

It's...complicated. Cloud... The last thing the other you remembers is Corel Prison. He doesn't even know that I...died.

[We should totes try to make a real FF7 cast somewhere~!]

[liveandforgive]

I see...

[he wish he had more to say. and yet there really wasn't. it wasn't even Cloud being from the point of being dropped in Corel Prison, not even the fact that Aerith was dead. it was the fact that Sephiroth had the advantage there and in an enclosed space... if Aerith notices, his fists may be clenching]

[floweroftheslums]

Hey.... Don't be like that. You can't always protect me, right?

Some things I have to handle on my own.

[liveandforgive]

[he wanted to tell her that she didn't have to do it on her own. he tried so hard to not say that he would protect her with his life. but that meant dwelling in the past. it meant he'd never been forgiven, be it by himself or anyone else. Cloud was past that- it was never easy, but the memories were what carried him on. and despite Aerith's words that should have discouraged a frown from Cloud... he smiles. it's a hint of one, a knowing one at that as he matches her gaze]

You're right. If it wasn't for you, we all wouldn't be here right now.

[floweroftheslums]

[She smiles bitter sweetly at him. It's so nice to see him better again.]

Besides, I have the other you, Tifa, Zack and Fang to help me there. And the entire city is aware of what kind of person he is due to recent events. It's...kind of nice, to be honest.

[liveandforgive]

Good to know he doesn't have much room to breath.

[floweroftheslums]

Someone that dangerous? Not likely. I'm just glad that we're not the only ones who know what he's like anymore.

[liveandforgive]

Mm. [nod]

[floweroftheslums]

[She smiles sadly.]

I know that I probably won't be wherever you wind up, Cloud. But...promise me that you'll be safe, okay? Don't do anything rash.

[Like try to fight Sephiroth by yourself.]

[liveandforgive]

[given where his mun has decided to app him...being safe may be a little difficult. but at least he wasn't losing his strength unless the plot demanded it. he's reluctant to say...]

...

I won't. I'll survive.

[floweroftheslums]

[That's not very reassuring, but her mun has no desire to take her anywhere else, just yet.]

Alright. Just...don't forget me, okay?

[liveandforgive]

I promise. [he just nods, taking a step closer to Aerith before placing a reassuring hand upon her shoulder] Besides, not a lot of places like to take away our memories.

[floweroftheslums]

[She reaches up to touch his arm, giving him a big smile as well.]

That's true. Besides, who else is as pretty as me, right?
