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

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.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

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.

I do not plan to for a long time, if ever again. [He takes a much larger gulp of his glass, then goes to top it off before sitting comfortably again. His experession is ]

The damage to my body if of little concern. I hurt my family in the process, and the damage is more severe than I expected.

I'm serious, Sig. [Cloud points at him, still holding his glass.] You pissing them off and worrying them a bit isn't the worst that's happened. You need to lay off yourself.

[Sigmund goes quiet at that. From a logical perspective, he knows Cloud is right, but Sig's not all logic anymore. He swishes the scotch in his glass for a moment, looking thoughtful.]

It was more complicated than I had imagined. I suppose I'm merely used to being in control of the situation, and I was not this time.

...it's rough for a while. [Cloud sets the bottle down without taking a drink.] But you get used to it. I still don't know if that's a bad or a good thing.

[Action]

[Sigmund looks down at the glass of scotch.]

I do not think so. I would rather have more control over what I do. I have a family to take care of.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. [Okay, bottle again.]

[Action]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

... It is a strange combination. [Taking a drink.] I have found myself feeling more and more content of late.

It's to pacify us. [Cloud refills his glass and nudges the bottle aside.] Don't get me wrong, I love the boys...but that's what it is. If I didn't have to worry about them, I would probably be trying to tear the barrier down inch by inch each day.
