herobydefaultA question. [Cloud says it like it's punctuated with "for you strange people."]
If you don't have a Lifestream keeping your Planet alive, what's holding it together?

[Voice] UNFAIR, SHE SAYS. ZACK IS NOT LIVING UP TO HIS NAME.
Date: 2011-01-09 02:31 am (UTC)But, it's not like we can change how this Planet works, so why dwell on it? I'll just look at it as a chance to be a perfectly normal girl. [...while kidnapped for the umpteenth time in her life. and actually being post-life. ...she fails at normalcy.]
[Voice] Zack Conspiring SOLDIER sounds terrible, though
Date: 2011-01-09 06:07 am (UTC)She also fails at honesty.]
You know, you could just say, "Thanks for worrying about me, guys! I'll be sure to tell you if I need help!"
[Voice] Zack the meaniepants?
Date: 2011-01-09 07:29 am (UTC)[She sighs.]
...It is really sweet that you two are concerned. Thank you. And I'll tell you if I need help.
I'm not THAT impossible.
[They just have different standards for "needing help".]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-09 08:29 am (UTC)Thank you.
And you know, you can tell us if you're bothered about something, or even if you're just tired or upset. You don't have to wait until something's really wrong.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-09 09:04 am (UTC)Seriously, what Cloud said. It's better to get things out in the open instead of bottling things up. you'll just blow up if you do that.
[And he's glad they're both listening, because that's something they both need to hear.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-09 07:37 pm (UTC)[And it immediately comes to Aerith's mind that sometimes things are better stoppered up instead of let loose, because some truths are only hurtful. That has just been her experience.
But with this...it won't hurt anyone to let out a little.]
...I miss it. Even if I couldn't understand everything the Planet said, its voice was always there. I thought I knew what I should do as a Cetra too, but-- [u-ugh. too morbid, considering where doing the Ancient duty led] --I can't do that here. Ah, and sometimes I worry for my flowers. But then I remember it's like no time passing by back home. And they're strong, they'll keep growing. So things will work themselves out in time. We just need to find a way back home.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-11 02:45 am (UTC)And actually, something strikes him- she said Cetra. Is that the same as an Ancient? And why is that word familiar...?]
No worries, we'll definitely get home. I'm not even worried about that!
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-11 04:09 am (UTC)Right! All we have to do is put our heads together and keep an eye out.
[And while that's struck him, something's been bugging her a little bit ever since this conversation started. Zack had suggested asking her about the Lifestream, and hadn't seem surprised when Cloud said he missed talking to the Planet.]
... Did Cloud tell you I could talk to the Planet? Or--oh, I guess maybe I gave myself away with Faeren... [She laughs a little, but she IS curious. It always seemed such a big deal to her, she's surprised to hear it coming from him casually.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-11 08:55 am (UTC)Did I tell you, Zack?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-12 09:02 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-12 06:38 pm (UTC)But it's not really a problem that he knows, so she shouldn't fuss over it too much... It just bugs her--how long has he known this, why does he know?] ... never mind. I didn't remember telling you I'm an Ancient before.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-12 10:11 pm (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-13 05:36 pm (UTC)... I didn't think it was something the Turks would blab about. [No, Aerith, Cissnei is not the "new" old Elena.] If you're curious about the Ancients, you can ask me! But you got the most important part about what they do.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-14 07:12 am (UTC)Anyway, it doesn't matter that much to me! Ancient or whatever, you're still Aerith. So tell me if you want to tell me, but otherwise it's none of my business.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-14 07:55 am (UTC)the rest is Zack.][Voice]
Date: 2011-01-15 04:45 pm (UTC)Protecting her? Is that what they told you they were doing?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-01-16 10:38 pm (UTC)Well... sure. Isn't it? [Oh god and he left her with Tseng, WAS THAT A BAD IDEA]
[Voice] can we just say this got filtered..sometime LOL maybe now
Date: 2011-01-17 02:18 am (UTC)Not quite. Their assignment was to bring me back to Shinra. ...Tseng wanted me to volunteer, so for a long time the Turks just kept watch over me. But a while back things changed... [She frowns.] For the worse. Cloud helped me by being my bodyguard when we met.
But they didn't try anything back when I met you! They watched me, that's all. Cissnei probably didn't know why, some Turks weren't told anything about me. Tseng kept information limited. [She doesn't want Zack feeling like he was a bad boyfriend for not noticing or anything. Or think Cissnei wasn't as much of a friend as she was.]
[Voice] ...do any of them know how to filter :|; Cloud doesn't
Date: 2011-01-19 01:21 am (UTC)[Voice] not zack either |D;; generally a thread's good if one person starts it though
Date: 2011-01-20 04:19 pm (UTC)[Voice] Aerith can totally do this "set a puzzle" stuff |D so. FILTERED.
Date: 2011-01-20 05:26 pm (UTC)[Filtered]
Date: 2011-01-21 04:34 am (UTC)You two talk this over without me; I don't think I have the whole story anyway. [That and he dislikes the Turks and doesn't have anything all that nice to say about them anyway.]
[Filtered]
Date: 2011-01-21 05:27 am (UTC)Zack, I'll be in the living room.
[Filtered]
Date: 2011-01-22 10:35 pm (UTC)[Whatever it is, maybe it's bothering Cloud too much for this. It'll be confusing enough with just Aerith... for the moment, he'll leave Cloud be.
Instead, he heads out to find Aerith in the living room.]
