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

Then we should probably hope you aren't a lightweight.

I'll be over in a minute.

I am not a lightweight.

[He grumbles a bit, but goes off to tell family that he's going.]

[Cloud heads over. The boy needs some man talk...but not to get smashed. This will not happen, since he's fairly sure Sigmund's wife Edward would beat his face in if he did that to Sigmund.]

[Sigmund is not particularly thrilled about the idea of leaving so soon after the incident, but perhaps gaining another perspective on the matter would be helpful. He's been so concerned about everything, it's not doing him a bit of good.]

[Hey, c'mon out. Cloud's approaching the door, might not be a good idea if Ed answers since he doesn't particularly like him.]

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[That's my waifu.

Sigmund steps out, looking better than the last time Cloud saw him. He has the materia in his hand.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Hey, c'mon. [Cloud gestures; hopefully Sig's family wasn't too pissed about him going out, but nothing constructive was happening here and Cloud knew it. Sigmund needed some space to think...these experiments always hit pretty hard psychologically.]

[Sigmund makes an affirmative noise and starts to walk with him, but says little else. He wasn't in too much trouble, as he wasn't embarking on a new grand adventure (or doing so alone). However, the aftermath of the whole incident continued to both him, and he wasn't sure of what to say.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You end up using that? [Cloud flicks a gesture towards the materia in his hand as they start towards the bar.]

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

Not much. Edward is not particularly good with magic, and I was in no state to try.

Nevertheless, thank you. [Sigmund holds it out so that he can return it properly.]

[Action]

[Cloud tucks it into his pocket.]

No problem. Who healed you, then?

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[There's a hint of awkwardness in Sigmund's expression.]

...My mother.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

That's good. [Cloud would comment if he wasn't people!fail.]

One of the things I forgot while I was under the influence of that experiment is how capable my family is of helping me.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You don't look too happy about it.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

I have my reasons.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[That's a "shut up" if Cloud ever heard one.]

Ah.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund the Liberator (as opposed to the hero version) does not particularly like soft spots. Besides, his reasons are silly.]

...

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[That's fine; Cloud's probably not going to start a conversation for a while though.]

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund is tired of silence.]

...Why a bar, of all places?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Because that's where they serve alcohol, Sig.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You are determined to get me intoxicated.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Bars aren't just about getting sloshed, they're about atmosphere. Besides, I said I wouldn't get you drunk.

So long as you aren't a booze virgin.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

I can't say I've stayed in many for very long. The last time I was in one, I got in a fight.

Just barely, in this body. I had far more to drink as Volsung.

[Okay the mental imagery is enough to make Cloud clap a hand over his mouth to stifle a surprised laugh.] Y...you got in a bar fight.
