“That’s… utterly ridiculous, Zack.”  Sephiroth accused.  Or tried to.  There was a blend of too many things in his voice; amusement, pain, wonder, fear, deep appreciation and bitterness.  He was relatively certain that wasn’t all of them.

It had to be a dream.  It felt like a dream, like something that was happening but not.  Zack was there, after all, in front of him… and he remembered.

He remembered.  Then it simply couldn’t be the real Zack, could it?  Speaking to him.  Seemingly accepting him, even being perhaps ever so slightly protective in his own way.

It was… fine.  If it wasn’t really Zack.  (It wouldn’t be as fine upon waking, but he gave that little acknowledgement.)  It was enough to speak and be spoken to.

It was enough to state, in no uncertain terms, “If you were the sun, you’d burn yourself out for everyone you loved without a thought given to yourself.  Then you’d have so very many lectures to sit through.”

Ever wonder what my muse says about yours?What my muse would say upon hearing about your muse’s death

His throat was dry, suddenly.  As though he’d just spent time out in arid terrain with demanding winds.  Swallowing was unnecessarily difficult, thoughts scattering like started birds until they flew back into formation from learned behavior alone.

“Oh.”  Sephiroth managed, feeling something tense and squeeze and cease to move somewhere in his rib cage.  There was simply nothing more that he could say, under the circumstances.  Nothing more to be expressed under the scrutinizing eyes of people he did not, could not trust.

He hadn’t really expected to find anything that wasn’t a glossy mass-produced card representing some attempt made by Shinra to ensure that everyone felt “loved and appreciated” along with the kind of chalky, waxy chocolate that one continued to find in the back of break room cabinets for years upon years.  What Sephiroth spotted and carefully, gently picked up was–

Well.  He wouldn’t have used the word “endearing”.  Not out loud.  There was the smallest, slightest genuine smile on his lips when he inspected the card thoroughly, however, admiring the effort even more than the promise of chocolate.  Maybe the holiday had some merit after all.

Aeris wasn’t a terrible baker… She wasn’t good per say… but she was good at making sourdough! A feat she had been told was quite difficult but she had somehow mastered in her free time. Today was no different, she mixed her leaven and the rest of her ingredients and was setting it up to ferment for a few hours so she could relax and have a nice morning. Then she found a note from her mother.

“The stove is broken, Going to try and find the part to fix it”

The cetra picked up her cellphone and called the only person she could think of…

“Hey Zack… Does your place have an oven?”

Thoughts on the character: we love and admire zack on this blog!!! he's such a charming, endearing character that has gone through so much shit. i'm honestly both curious and scared for what square has planned with the remake plot since they are shaking up the og timeline quite a bit.

Have you interacted before: we have indeed! although i think we've only got one active thread running right now.

Favorite part of portrayal: i want to preface this first by saying i don't have a fully-fleshed out opinion simply because we haven't interacted enough yet. what i have noticed is that your zack is very thoughtful! there's always a bunch of things going on in his head before he ever actually says anything. it seems really easy for a lot of people to think he doesn't think too deeply about what he says but that isn't true at all!

One piece of advice: hm...this one's hard bc of the same disclaimer above. i'd have to say that i would love to see more initiative in Zack or whichever muse controlling the direction of a thread instead of just reacting to what's happening in it. it's not just about responding to a post, but actively thinking about which direction to take it, y'know?

A verse (mine or theirs) I want a thread in: tbh it seems like you've got a lot of decent ground covered with your other partners haha. but if you ever feel like exploring any new verses in particular, i'd be happy to work out the details
