Don't touch my youngest, he explodes.


Yuffie, we're gonna leave tomorrow. Also Cid, join my party. Sorry Leto, but I think for the good of the plot you're going to have to bite the big one. We'll bring you back later, don't worry.

...I'm sorry. Can I talk to you?

Tell me the truth; did you take her, or did she go back?

[Simon and Cloud are out walking about because the boy keeps bloodying up the house and scaring Cloud half to death. ...why he thought a walk outside would be a good idea is beyond me.]

If only for Denzel's sake. You really think the poor kid should be watching Simon explode? There's plenty of stuff to bump into at a bar.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, I don't know if you've noticed, but that kid's got bigger balls than I do.

[wingenvy]

Doesn't mean you should be giving him that much responsibility. Kids should be kids.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, I think we're thinking of two different things here.

You leave a kid at the bar, and the storyline continues on with the main party. Because the storyline continues with the main party, not much else happens elsewhere unless it directly relates to the main party, and the kids only get kidnapped if they wander the streets. It's just how things work. Plus there's plot devices and script edits because of time and space constraints, so really I don't think you have anything to worry about.

.....

[Facepalm.]

Have you even asked them if they want to go?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Denzel's usually fine with it. And Simon would understand; I'm not going to be gone for months, just a couple weeks, max. Besides, this is a BOSS FIGHT.

I have to do this or the plot doesn't advance. And then we'll never get home.

[wingenvy]

...Just... nevermind. Let them stay home, please?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I already said fine.

What's wrong?

[wingenvy]

This experiment's weirding me out. And you know I hate it when you run off like this.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Look, I'd be more than happy to let you take the party there, but I'm the main character. I can't kick myself out of the party unless there's something going on in the plot that renders me useless. Like if I got Mako poisoning again. I don't really want to, but...

[wingenvy]

I don't work in a party, Spike. I do my missions solo.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well, you can't do this one. This is my plot. Leto asked me to, so it's part of my storyline.

[wingenvy]

So it's a sidequest?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...no, I told you, it's plot.

[wingenvy]

But it's out of the way. Sidequests are always in the middle of nowhere.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It's not that far out of the way, it's only five days away.

[wingenvy]

Five days is pretty far! You don't even have a truck!

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You can't put a truck in the tunnels anyhow.

[wingenvy]

What about an airship?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, there isn't even an airship here.

[wingenvy]

I'm just saying, without a vehicle it takes longer, so it's not as easy to just run off!

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I know it takes longer, and it's not like I want to tromp around through the desert. But I have to.

[wingenvy]

You're so easily manipulated.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Probably wasn't intentional, but that one stung.]

Thanks.

[wingenvy]

[And Zack's not really thinking in Luceti terms, stuck in Crisis Core mode.]

...What?
