small talk is not one of sephiroth’s strong points, and never has been, and very likely never shall be.

for all intents and purposes otherwise, though, he feels he has fulfilled his obligations to politeness. scarlet paid for dinner and so sephiroth insisted on washing the dishes when they were done; they’ve been cleaned, dried, put away, and somehow he still finds that he’s warm in the face from her comment upon him tying his hair back. (as if he wanted the ends to dip into dishwater!)

nevertheless; there he is, seated on the couch with her, and finding himself at a loss for words. he hadn’t intended to stay here for long, he thought. it was only a meal and a little stunt for public relations to deal with and the both of them very amused, and yet now it is two adults alone in an apartment, and sephiroth is well aware of certain implications that had been made earlier and what they entailed.

he did not know if scarlet was serious, and was beginning not to know if he was, either. and yet if he is, that’s even less certainty, isn’t it? in this, scarlet far, far outranks him.

[ooc] Once upon a time you knew the ocean. Once upon a time, you were root and stone. I’m afraid all you have now, Tseng, is silence and storm. Maybe, someday, things will be different.

Hands in pockets, Reno slipped inside the office and, with his foot, nudged the door closed. A playful air surrounded him as he sauntered towards Scarlet and sat on the side of her desk. Reno never liked Heidegger to begin with, and would never forgive him for doing the Turks dirty. So a little bit of revenge wouldn’t do any harm.

“As you’ve probably read in my file, I lived the slum life before joinin’ here. And what do we know about slum kids?” He raised his left hand out of his pocket, a set of keys dangling from his fingers.

“We can be wicked little thieves”

Just how Scarlet convinced the tuxedo cat puppet—for she was only vaguely aware of Reeve's Inspire ability—to do such a thing would remain a mystery, but the end result was something memorable. Namely? Cait Sith was climbing up onto Reeve's desk, taking a spot front and center before he was beginning to do the hula. And yes, he was not only wearing a grass skirt... but he also had a lei around his neck.

Some days weren’t worth getting out of bed. Between dealing with Heidegger’s nonsense in the A.M. and Palmer’s nonsense in the P.M., Reeve was already a hair’s breadth from throwing his entire monitor out the 63rd floor window when a stack of reports came in at 4:15 that had him texting Scarlet that he wouldn’t be able to honor the plans they had made that evening.

That was an hour and a half prior to. This.

“ Cait, wh— ”

Cait Sith finished his routine with a little flourish, leaving Reeve no less baffled.

“ Lassie said to cheer up! Aaaand we may have made a deal that next time, she’ll be wearin’ the skirt. ”

Reeve chuckled and did Cait Sith the dignity of relieving him of the lei. He plucked one of the flowers out, stem and all ( it wasn’t real, but plastic flowers in Midgar often went above and beyond to attempt to replicate the real thing ), and quickly scanned his eyes around his desk— ah, there, that would do. Reeve picked it up a discarded ether bottle, shook out any remaining droplets, and placed the flower inside it like a vase which he then pressed into Cait Sith’s hands.

“ Think you can sneak up to Weapons Development without being seen? ”

The stuffed cat nodded enthusiastically.

Tifa is able to sleep in all kinds of positions due to her experiences traveling and not having access to a proper bed. She could probably fall asleep standing up if left uninterrupted when exhausted. 

Is Scarlet overseeing the production of materia? Guys, guys?!

@kychchc! This is what's got me most excited!

Also, Leviathan wth?! What- what about Wutai?!

Nanaki / Red XIII looks awesome and his VA is amazing.

Black clouds, Aerith calls them Watchmen of Fate (Fayt?!) but they remind me of remnants. I just don't know what to think about it! New lore, but will it be enriching to the world? I really hope so!

Also Honeybee Inn, the slums. It's just too godammned beautiful. Ohhhhh Midgar. Will Reeve's parents be retconned out HBI I wonder?

Corneo still has his tat, yesssss, and look at the size of his mansion! He isn't just a grubby hand idiot. He's the Don of the Underworld.
