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

I-okay. [figured out it was probably useless to try and argue against Cloud so he'll just wait]

[voice]

[Hey what's up, Cloud's on your roof with his materia.] Hey.

[action]

[perplexme]

[turns his head and gives him a small grin] You don't waste time, do you?

[action] fff egg fail

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I was half worried you'd bolt. [Cloud takes a seat beside him, letting his legs dangle off the edge of the roof.] ...so, how come you didn't go to get healed?

[action] true but we still like you anyway

[perplexme]

Truthfully, I don't think I could run fast enough yet. [looks down at his own legs and shrugs] I don't know; I guess I just don't think it's necessary to have the healers at the clinic fix something that I brought upon myself. Besides, Rinoa used some Cure spell to get rid of most of the bruises and she stopped the bleeding too.

[action] ;~;

Where's the stitches?

[action] <3?

[perplexme]

[lifts his shirt up and slides his arms out so it's hanging from around his neck, showing Cloud an area on the left side of his chest that's been cut open deeply and crudely sewn back up. looks up at him from under his bangs to see what he has to say]

[action] <3!

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Yeugh. And Cloud's seen some pretty nasty wounds in his life.]

...the stitches need to come out before I heal it. [He sighs and crouches, sitting back on his heels.] You should probably go to the clinic for that sort of thing...they probably have anesthetic.

[action]

[perplexme]

[shrugs again, looking down at his chest] When I woke up at the edge of the forest on Friday, these were there so I assume they were nice enough to do it for me. Think it'd take long to undo them?

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Not really. I mean, theoretically you could do it right now, it'd just hurt like a bitch.

[action]

[perplexme]

Probably no worse than having my chest cavity ripped open in the first place. Besides, the materia stuff would heal it and stop the pain, wouldn't it?

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You'd have to cut the stitches with a knife and pull the little strings out one by one.

[action]

[perplexme]

...good point.

I don't want to stay at the clinic. Just long enough to remove the stitches, but I'm not staying. They kept Emil there for so long when he got back, and I don't want that to be me.

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Then here, take this with you. [Cloud holds out the materia.] Anyone can use it.

[action]

[perplexme]

[takes the materia from Cloud's hand, shifting it around in his own to examine it closer] What do I do with it exactly?

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It does most of the work for you; if you hold it for a while, you can probably feel a little pull on it, like it's trying to suck out your energy. Let it, and just keep it close and it'll automatically cast on you first.

[action]

[perplexme]

Sort of a nifty little thing. Seems a lot easier than how things work in our world. Thanks a lot, Cloud.

[pauses then, chewing on his bottom lip to think about what he's going to say] I'm going to keep trying to figure them out.

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud gives Roxas an exasperated look.]

...they're just gonna take you again. They might wipe your memory next time, mess with your head.

[action]

[perplexme]

Like that hasn't happened before. They took Aros this time. They made Sora disappear.

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Except that all your research would be pointless; as far as I know, you're the only one who knows what you're talking about, right? They mess with your head, and all your work's wasted.

[action]

[perplexme]

Point. You and Axel sound the same about the whole thing, but what do you want me to do, accept the fact I'm virtually powerless against them?

The whole thing is messed up. That's just...it.

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

... [Cloud glances around before sitting back down beside Roxas and lowering his voice to a murmur.]

There's laptops down in the tunnels; that traitor guy, Jacob, says that he encrypted them with the code he uses to keep his entries from the others. Type up and keep your findings down there.

[action]

[perplexme]

[Roxas' eyes widen a bit at this new discovery]

You think? That's perfect.

[action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I dunno if he can be trusted, but...it's probably the only thing you can do to keep this from happening again.

[action]

[perplexme]

True. I'll keep that in mind, even though I'm not sure how much more work I'll be able to get done now with Axel watching. Thanks for letting me know.
