[Cloud sounds more resigned than anything.]

For those of you who know Tifa, she was sent back home.

Walter, don't worry about the expansion to Seventh Heaven now.

Tell me when's a good time to move my stuff down.

You're from her future. [It's a statement, not a question. The content of his words were apparent enough; after all, Luceti has already broken her chronology.]

Things change? On the happiness front, I mean.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Just a year. She's fine, from what I recall.

[herotypical]

[There is the sound of a deep breath--in and out.]

A year of peace? That's not too shabby. I'll bet she'll enjoy it.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

At least, anyway. I don't know about after that. [Things tended to go to hell in a handbasket with them.]

[herotypical]

Would you rather know?

[A slightly serious question--but it was still a distraction from the looming loss of a friend.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...what, my future? No.

[herotypical]

[She considers the answer.] Yeah. You're probably right. Knowing just causes all these problems.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Are you speaking from experience?

[herotypical]

A little. [She admits, quite bold in her lack of hesitation.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You've had a weird life.

[herotypical]

I kinda pegged that as par for the course, in this place.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well I didn't say that wasn't common.

[herotypical]

Fair enough. [With many other people, she would quibble. But she felt as though Cloud wasn't a quibbler. Instead, she aims to give him the truth.] Prophecies, mostly. I've defied a few.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

What's the point of giving someone a prophecy if you don't want them to defy it?

[herotypical]

I'm not exactly sure that I was supposed to see it.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[herotypical]

The one that said that I would face one very ugly-ass vampire and die because of it. [Which, to be fair, was not incorrect. She had died--clinically, momentarily. CPR was a beautiful thing.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

What about the others you defied? Just stumble across those too?

[herotypical]

No. [She sounds a touch apprehensive, but only because Cloud's curiousity feels a little odd. She wants to feel flattered by his interest.] After that, things got calculated.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Really Buffy, he's just making conversation for the distraction. The boy isn't that sharp.]

That sucks.

[herotypical]

Depends on your POV. [She'll relish the conversation she can get.] I told you about the organization I've got back home, right?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Probably. ["But refresh my memory."]

[herotypical]

A couple thousand girls, all with the same Slayertastic abilities. [Which have happily returned back to half-strength in this particular Slayer.] Well? It's not supposed to be like that. It's only supposed to be one girl per generation. A chosen one gig.

[The concept was complicated even for those involved.] One girl on her own doesn't always last that long. So we changed centuries--no, more--of prophecy. No more one girl in all the world.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Ah- yeah. You told me about this. [Leading an army of teenage girls into battle. Cloud was lucky enough to only have to deal with one.]

[herotypical]

Well, the point stands. There was a prophecy and we broke it.

[She hesitates, as though feeling exceptionally uncertain about the next line:] Hey, Cloud? Wanna go grab a cappuccino or a macchito? [More pausing, but this time to revise her sentiment.] Not a date or anything. Just a...a first annual and only meeting of the people leave and that kinda sucks but maybe coffee will help club?
