⸻ @lockedfighter sent. ❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

being a 1st CLASS, a set of duties and other responsibilities were stacked upon her shoulders the moment they gave her that promotion⸺one of his responsibilities was to check on the 2nds and 3rds, keep an eye out for any signs of degradation and whatnot. despite what the propaganda stated, being a SOLDIER wasn't exactly easy, both physically and mentally, you're put on a pedestal and that messes with anyone's head.

tifa lockhart, recently promoted to 3rd and honestly⸺she doesn't say it out loud⸺one of her favorites. there's just something about the bright and determined attitude that brings a bit of warmth to her chest. still, even with an attitude like that, the weight of being a SOLDIER hits everyone regardless.

the older brunette didn't say anything at first, instead she sits herself down beside the younger woman, letting her legs dangle over the rooftop edge. "it's a scary thought, being alone." sera started off, looking towards the horizon. "i had similar thoughts as well for a while, a rather long time perhaps⸺" she briefly admits. "⸺but things will change, those thoughts will eventually pass or quiet down enough that you can spend a day without it loudly echoing inside your head."

comforting isn't her best, but she tries. "besides, you won't be alone around here for long." she gives the young SOLDIER a friendly nudge and looks over at her with a gentle smile. "there's me for one, can't get rid of me now, lockhart. we're friends now, you and i." she holds out her gloved hand. "and friends stick together."

"and yet, i've seen you before." or rather his face, sera is privvy to a certain amount of information and has seen the type of shit that shinra is capable of, this is no exception. fucking hojo, the brunette thought to herself as she stared down at the blonde, arms crossed in front of her chest. what have you done?

"or maybe i'm just thinking about another blonde guy with mako eyes, who knows." she shrugs, eyes briefly looking away to glance in the direction of the observation deck, shields up of course⸺can't risk a potential sword or claw to the face. "you all have a tendency to look alike."

⸻ @hauntedreality gets a thing ( zack fair ! )

"heard you're heading out a mission in a couple of days." the brunette commented as she approached the younger man in one of the few gyms that were opened to anyone regardless of rank. "heading somewhere in the middle of nowhere or something, nibelheim was it?"

she leans against the wall, watching her fellow SOLDIER do his usual workout. "my little birds also told me that sephiroth is also going, must be pretty big if he's going along." it would do him some good to get out from midgar, have a bit of that fresh air that isn't hinted with a scent of smog and mako. "so what's the tea, zack?"

⸻ @divineplagas gets a thing.

"so why hojo of all people?" man is creepy enough as it is, mix in delusions of grandeur and a superiority complex, then you get an individual that you can only describe as 'hojo'. "i didn't think he even does friends." does he even know what friends are? as far as she had seen and experienced, the man often keeps to himself and tends to ignore the people around him unless they have caught his attention.

which is not exactly a good thing. she's dealt enough with him to keep as far away as possible. "man is not exactly a social person, pretty sure his idea of a good time is cutting people open."
