Tifa's gone home. Sorry to her friends here.

Can't even give us a minute to say goodbye, can you.

[....Well, shit.]

Bar?

...Gone? [She sounds like she's hoping against hopes that you don't mean what she thinks you mean. Buffy is a selfish, selfish girl and she feels like she needs her close friends to stay exactly that--close.]

[wise_maiden]

... I see.

[A long pause.]

... how are you holding up?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Rather not. Sorry.

She knows all my favorites anyway.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Home. Back to our world. Her stuff's gone.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Fine.

...

Home's safe. She's from before me, so...so I know it is for sure.

[wingenvy]

Right, right. Sorry. That was-

...

Wanna talk?

[herotypical]

Oh, so...gone-gone. [brb, trying to find composure!]

I'm...really sorry to hear that. Really, really sorry.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[There's a long silence, and then-]


...I wouldn't say no to the company.

Don't apologize to me. I'll see her again. [Hopefully that "I'm sorry for YOU" is as in there as he thinks it is. Possibly not.]

[BFF incoming.]

If...if you remember this place or anything about it when you go back--[again, there's that indomitable hope]--could you tell her thanks, from Buffy? For the cookies and for the...the everything.

[knightofratatosk]

Cloud... I'm sorry.

[Hey BFF. 'Sup. Just...sitting here on the bed and staring down at the floor.]

['Sup. You look miserable. Zack flops down on the bed beside Cloud, shoulder to shoulder, scratching the back of his neck. Now, to try and cheer him up or act as a listening ear if he wants to talk? Decisions, decisions...]

No. Because we're gonna find our own way out of here, and we're gonna find a way to move back and forth between worlds. It's got to be possible, so the only thing left is find out how.

So you can tell her yourself when you see her.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'll see her when we all get home.

[Cloud looks down at his hands instead. Picks at a nail.]

[knightofratatosk]

That... that doesn't make it any easier.

[kuroneko-13.livejournal.com]

...That's too bad.

[Cloud's sudden--and apparently rare (although she only knows that through hearsay)--loquaciousness rattles the Slayer.]

You really think that's possible? I mean--I know it was, back home. Different dimensions and worlds and everything but...here? [Rattled? Sure, but still unconvinced.]

Still, it'd be nice to see her again.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

We're going to find a way to travel between worlds, Emil. The goodbyes we say to each other here aren't going to be forever.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...maybe. She's safe at home.

Well, some of us end up here and then some of us go back. And sometimes we end up here again and remember. So there has to be a way to do it.
