“Not with THAT attitude ya can’t!”

“If ya need a good father figure this fathers’ day, I’m your dad now. C’mon champ, let’s grill up a football.”

         ❝ not a lot of people love the idea of being interviewed by the FBI. ❞ there’s the quick growth of a lopsided smile against rugged features. a stab at being reassuring. ❝ well i do appreciate it. can you tell me what you know about the town? anything, besides the killings lately, out of the ordinary? ❞

“I work at a gun shop teaching idiots how to fire a weapon without blowing their hand off.” Aliza admits, albeit the information wasn’t all that helpful and she knows it. “... After that I usually just have a drink at whichever bar has the smallest crowd ━ as far as out of the ordinary? I’m not the sort of person who would notice normally.” If it seemed like she was revving up to something important, well maybe that was intentional. “But ... One of the victims I knew pretty damn well. Oliver? I ━ never knew his last name, he was just some harmless ex junkie, a homeless man who hung around by the dumpster out back of run down old diner. I brought him a hot meal most evenings after work, just ━ he was a good contact back when I was on the force you know?”

     “Hahaha…” Logic versus emotion. The former summoner very much wanted to entertain her dear cousin’s desires, but the thought of stealing something they really didn’t need to? It clashed with her morals, even if they had done that repeatedly back as sphere hunters. But that aside, the way these spheres were laid out so obviously… really did NOT give Yuna a good feeling. “Rikku…. don’t you think it’s a bit weird? All these spheres and no one is around? Not even fiends? I think we should be more careful right now…”

     Ratchet flexes his arm slightly as the bandage has been wound around a fresh cut - the main result after his little crash back there.  Despite lombaxes having pretty durable bodies, they were far from indestructible.  Brilliant green eyes flicker to gaze up at the girl he had met shortly then, who had offered help - hence, the bandage.     ❝ Thanks… uh, you said this planet isn’t used to having visitors from off planet? ❞     It wouldn’t be the first time he came across a species that wasn’t exactly space-faring… but that did pose some complications.

        Nimble fingers twist around the girl’s extended wrist, doing her best to get a tight knot with just enough wiggle room for comfort. It was interesting, the contrast between the girl’s incredibly slim arm compared to the dirtied digits connected to it. Her mind mainly focused on the accessory at hand, though.         Stepping back, Kate smiles at her own handy work, impressed with what was managed to be salvage from the fog’s ever changing surroundings. 

        “ Aaand, there! I don’t think I’ve made a friendship bracelet since my last sleepover. ” Looking back up to the other, her smile was nostalgic, holding a warmth that greatly opposed the world around them. “ Feel free to tear it off, but I thought it’d be a nice gesture. ”

It was strange being around another female that wasn’t Julie ━ and it wasn’t as if Susie was trying to compare Kate to Julie, but even prior to being within the realm? That was the only girlfriend she’d ever had.

“Julie and I would buy these dumb little packs ... and make bracelets like this back before.” Susie mused, her emotional response was likely hard to read. Flat lipped, but she lifts her wrist and turns it a few times looking over the strings. 

Ada’s parents were out of the picture before she was old enough to properly remember them. Her mother died shortly after giving birth, her father was a poor and ignorant man. He sold Ada at the age of 3 to ━ well to who he assumed was probably going to send her to a sweat shop or something worse. Instead it was an organization raising children into what would essentially be super spies. Her entire childhood and teens was spent in this place, and until she was hired by Wesker? This was the only life she knew. It was a cold, difficult, and rather lonely childhood.

Wesker was the person who paid off her debt, his own plans in the works. He needed the world’s most capable spy that could be founded. He paid very well & never brought up the debt that he saved Ada from. In return she was a perfect employee. Doing whatever he asked whenever and knowing that at this point she was owned until he was brought down.

By the time Raccoon city happened, albeit Ada was in her early 20s, her only goal was to start planting pieces to lead to Wesker’s demise. Much of her double agent act happened because of this, though her encounter with Leon Kennedy was a huge impact. It was the first time Ada had met someone who wasn’t just interested in her skills and capabilities in the field, and it was the first time she started to see a LIGHTER side to humanity. She denied anytime it was requested to kill him, or anyone if she could get away with it after this meeting. 

    “You are upset about what could have happened? Nobody died.” Maybe BLUNTNESS wasn’t exactly the best way to approach this, but it was Niko’s general disposition. However, it was clear that she was upset about the prospect of people getting hurt, which wasn’t something Niko couldn’t fully relate to. Situations like that? He was USED to it. “You…you can not help everybody. Some people do not want it. You are lucky you were not injured.” 

“In that order, please if ya don’t mind. I mostly just wanna see how it works.” He looked it up and down and from every angle, and in his mind he determined that it was a weapon. Rikku’s ‘totally on purpose’ test run just about confirmed his theory.

“Looks like somethin’ they’d make for a cheesy sci-fi movie as a prop, but as a real thing. Just hope it’s not a world-ending weapon of some sort. Then again, they wouldn’t have thrown it in the junkyard, now would they?”

The blonde is fixated now, plucking tools from her box and wiping more of the grime off the piece of equipment. “Unless they were tryin’ to get rid of the evidence -- here you should put these on.~” Stated handing over some safety goggles as she slaps a pair on herself.

She spends a short bit of time tinkering. “Hmm” a long, dramatic, and seemingly THOUGHTFUL pause. “I’m clueless!” Rikku finally admitted but that didn’t deter her . . . “Got me wonderin’ if there isn’t liiiike -- another piece of it? ‘Cause right now it seems PRETTY useless as a weapon. Might get a black eye but that’s about as dangerous as it is on its own.”
