anybody else I talked to that was being weird

[Abrupt switch to Voice]

Are you all okay? Holy this experiment was a weird one. Angeal... [A sigh.] ...nevermind. I guess it's not your fault. You're still a bastard. Everybody else who got stuck on that...star thing he was rolling around, are you guys okay?

Cid, Yuffie, cancel the run into the desert. That was the weirdest thing- okay, not the weirdest. That was strange. Ignore that, there's no way in hell we're tromping through the desert unless it means we can go home. I hate the desert. And we are not killing Leto.

Raine, I'll come by to pick up Simon's assignments. Anything you want me to bring?

...what else... ...Zuko, I didn't see you that whole time. Either you managed to escape this one, or you got lost in the mountains again. Don't tell me you got lost in the mountains again.

Zack, just...ignore that stuff I said about Jenova. I'm fine, seriously. It was mostly the experiment talking. ~~Although I don't really get what hap~~

The alcohol.

[Pause.]

...the...experience. Mostly the alcohol. Puts hair on your chest.

...

[Considering this.] I think he shall stay away from bars.

[NOT TOUCHING THAT.] ...it's just an expression. It's doesn't literally-

...nevermind.

I cannot know what kind of alcohol there is in your world without tasting it. What if it's enchanted?

None of the alcohol on Gaia helps you to magically sprout chest hair, Sig. I promise.

No concoction like that is served in bars where I come from, but there are strange ones nevertheless.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

I know where to turn if something happens.

Not to me, won't be my fault.

So, you're going to take me to a bar and then leave me to fend for myself.

You worry too much. [Bar ahoy! Get inside, you.]

It's my job to do so. [Going, going!]

[Up to the counter and- there's nobody here. Okay, hopping over counter now, rummaging through the bottles. Cloud does not play around with that wussy shit and goes straight for the hard liquor.]

Whatcha want?

[Sigmund watches him, a bit baffled. Is that alright, even in a place where everything is free?]

... Surprise me.

[It better be all right, Cloud does not wait around when he wants a drink. However, he's no bartender and so you get a plain scotch on the rocks, Sig. Enjoy.]

[Sigmund drinks, and it suits him just fine.] Shall we sit?

Hold on. [Cloud mixes himself something fierce and...thinks the better of it and brings the bottle with him, sliding back over the counter.] Okay.

[Sigmund eyes that bottle cautiously, but then goes to sit down.] Before you start, remember that I'm in no shape to carry you home if you drink too much.

I believe in you. [Cloud slides into a chair and sets to work on his glass, first.] Besides, I'll be fine. Mako kills most of the buzz.

Thank you. [Sipping casually, not wanting to come home drunk after coming home nearly broken.] What is Mako?

[Cloud gestures vaguely, which is probably not helpful in the least.] Enhancement stuff. Makes my eyes do that glow thing.

[Sip.] So, what exactly happened? I'm assuming you fell off a roof.

Enhancement stuff. [He's being vague, so Sig will ask later.] How odd.

[He takes another sip before continuing.] I was attempting to test the breadth of my so-called "super powers." I had some ability to fly at the beginning of the experiment, but I had not thought it unusual until I returned home. I made it to the roof just fine, but the experiment wore off after my jump to the neighbor's roof.

Oh. So you...grabbed onto a ledge and dislocated your shoulder that way. [Sip.] It's all that armor you wear, that has to be heavy.

I nearly had myself up.

This armor is like a second skin. I had not thought of removing it beforehand. [Even though it was late.]

I guess it's not a problem so long as you don't throw yourself off any more buildings. [Cloud swirls the glass to mix the water from the melting ice and the alcohol before knocking the rest back and reaching for the bottle.]

Seriously, though, don't beat yourself up over it. People have done a lot worse during these things.

[Action]
