...Raine, can I talk to you? And...Tifa. ...and Sig-...mund, and Buffy and Edward. All you guys, if you've got a second.


[A sigh.] If you could have one thing from home, what would you pick?


[Locked to Hatori//70% Unhackable]

...thank you. Sorry I was...on edge. Back in the clinic.

The stitches are fine. I can take them out myself if you're too busy.

I know. [That's why he didn't want to tell you.

...but he probably should. Sigh.]
I can just...tell you in person. Can you stop by my place?

[A pause from this end, because she's not sure if she should make him talk about it right now. But, then again, she really does want to know. So.] Sure thing. Should I come over now?

[Well, you know Cloud; wait till later and he's liable to have replaced some memories or something. OH SNAP] Yeah. I'm home.

[Sjdhjddssff oh god I choked on my juice. So! After that exchange, Tifa will be heading out to see Cloud. So the stress and worry aren't helping things much, but... at least she'll be able to talk to him face to face about it, right? That should make things better. Maybe. Hopefully a little.

Annnnd about fifteen minutes later, there's a Tifa at his door. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.]

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

Come in. [Cloud's making coffee so he can't open the door right now.

One good thing about all this war business. He can use his coffee pot. It's wonderful.]
From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
[Well knocking is polite okay. But sure, Tifa will come in anyway. And geez, she can already smell the coffee from here, so she's guessing that he's been living the electricity up.] Hey, Cloud.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] Fantastic.

From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
[The coffee part of it anyway.] Hey. Just sit down wherever.

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

[Okay, cool. So she's just going to take a seat in this... chair over here. Huzzah. And think of something useful to say. Nothing's coming to mind yet.]

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
[Cloud will amble over and hold out a mug for her to take. God willing he knows how to fix her coffee after living with her for three years.

He takes the end of the nearby sofa and sips his own coffee.]

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
[She's going to take a sip of her own and... yeeeep- looks like you're all right this time, Cloud. Otherwise she would've been displeased. Inwardly, of course, because she knows he's upset right now.

Anyway, this is kind of awkwaaard, so she's going to stop beating around the bush. After gulping down some more coffee.]
So... they attacked you.

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

[Y-yeah, just...sipping this to take a minute to stall.

But one can only sip coffee for so long, even an addict like Cloud. So he eventually gives up and lets out a breath.]
...I went to their house. I read something and got suspicious...so I took a look. I didn't find anything useful.

Yazoo was there when I came out. He had...something, magic bullets or something. He beat me. [We are not going into details concerning the mutilation, no MA'AM.]

And before, when Loz disappeared, he- [Cloud gestures, waving a finger near his temple.] He got angry. Looked for him, I don't know. It hurt.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] and then i passed out OTL

Hmm. [None of this is very reassuring. At all. Especially the fact that Cloud had obviously been beaten to a pulp. She's just going to furrow her brows and try and look a lot less worried than she actually is.] ...did that happen back home, with them? What he did to you? [Because Tifa hadn't gotten the full story about that anyway fff.]
From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
What, the...head thing?

[He pauses. Then, reluctantly-] ...sort of.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] no worries o/

From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
...actually, I don't know. It might've been the Geostigma...I can't be sure. [Cloud sighs, and waves a hand as if to ward off the conversational topic.]

Regardless, he can do it now. And...I don't know. I know there are other people investigating this, and I'm not sure how to move on from here.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] <33 you're awesome

Date: 2010-04-09 08:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
[Okay, fine, she'll let you get away with that one. For now.]

...well, if you work together with them, won't it be easier? I know that it must be hard after what he did to you, but...

[But, well- they can't just let Yazoo and Kadaj get away with it, can they? Tifa pauses momentarily.] I'll help, too.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] your face is awesome

Date: 2010-04-09 08:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
[Okay now this is what he didn't want.] No. You're already a target, we shouldn't give them more incentive to go after you. Yazoo would do it just for the sake of hurting me, at this point.
From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
[Well fff Tifa knew he wouldn't as soon as she said it, but. She's stubborn.] If I'm going to be targeted anyway, does it really matter? Doing something is better than nothing.

[Sweet, sweet Action.] your MOM is awesomer.

Date: 2010-04-09 08:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
[And he knows she's right, he just doesn't want her to be. So he just says it outright.]

And who says we have to be the ones to do something this time?
From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
But-- they're from our world, Cloud. Don't you think we should take some responsibility for what they do?

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

Date: 2010-04-09 08:57 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com
[Yes, he does. But his idea of vocalizing this is to clam up and look away.]

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

Date: 2010-04-09 09:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
Look, Cloud, we'll think of something- okay? [Not that she knows what, yet. Or even how. But she hates seeing Cloud like this.] We can get other people to help too, maybe. If they want to, or if they can.

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

[What, pathetic and insecure? ...but Tifa's pretty good at the pep-talk thing. Usually.] ...I'll ask around.

But- Tifa. ...don't tell Zack about this.

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

From: [identity profile] packedapunch.livejournal.com
[Not telling Zack, hmm?] ...well, if you're sure.

[Sweet, sweet Action.]

Very sure. [As unsure as he is about this whole ordeal, that's the one thing he's sure about.]
