I lied about not focusing on ducks, have some more Duck Thoughts.

Scrooge is the richest dude in all of the Radiant Garden and Twilight Town area, and tends to have a chauffeur drive him between the two and around RG. But he'll ride public transit if:

It's a free ride day. He's cheap as hell; he simply can't resist.

Gas is more expensive than usual

The triplets want to take the train/tram for fun, because Scrooge is a huge softie actually

All this to say, Scrooge and Cloud have ended up in the same train compartment a few times. Sometimes Scrooge rants about things in the business section of the newspaper to anyone within earshot. When he looks around for validation, Cloud just nods awkwardly because his mamma taught him to respect his elders, even though he frankly has no idea what's going on.

Cloud is the first Strife to meet Scrooge actually, since he lived in Radiant Garden before the rest of his family moved to Twilight Town. One night on the phone he's telling the twins stories of the interesting people he sees on the train, and the twins DEMAND proof of his claim that there's sometimes a man who wears an honest to god top hat. They tell him to take a photo next time, but Cloud retorts, "I'm not carrying around a camera just to take sneak shots of strangers."

"Your phone has a camera."

"It has what!?"

Another time on the train, Cloud finds himself in the company of an exhausted looking man and a pair of rambunctious, identical young boys. The kids run around the train car, climbing on seats to look out the windows, and chattering nonstop to anyone who makes eye contact. The tired man tries to rein them in, apologizing to Cloud, who happens to be sitting closest to him. Recalling his own single mother struggling to wrangle him and his brothers at that age, Cloud tells him not to worry about it. As the boys start a tug of war over something, Cloud adds, "My little brothers are twins too."

Well tbh I try to stick to canon models for that sort of thing more than I know some AU makers do, but in Mallverse the Destiny Islands are in a distinctly different biome than Twilight Town. And Sora continues to be an adventurous, outdoorsy fellow even after the move. Roxas and Cloud are more indoorsy and lose a bit of their glow, though depending on who they’re standing next to they’re still quite tan. Not that I ever remember to properly color it, or color at all really :B Though I was also thinking that the unseen former Mr. Strife was distinctly darker than Suzanne; Sora takes after him the most, whereas the two blonds favor their mothers’ genes.

SO! RGU Bros house thought(s): The lease requires four people to make the split rent reasonable. But as it turns out, there are only three bedrooms. The master is bigger than the other two; not by a HUGE amount, but the fact that it has its own much nicer bathroom makes up for it (please picture Terra having to stoop to wash his hair in a tiny stall shower, and have a giggle with me). So there are two twin beds in the master, and Cloud and Zack share.

Terra gets his own room, but he has more traffic (so to speak). He has a twin bed and a futon crammed in, though there’s not enough room for the futon to fold down so it’s just a little couch. Usually it’s completely covered in laundry, but on the occasions that Ven is in town, he makes a nest on it. Aqua also stays the night fairly often, though she just squishes into the bed with Terra.

I’m a little confused as to what you’re trying to say here? The main story is set in Twilight Town, not Traverse Town. Only the Strife twins (and Jehan) were ever living in Traverse Town; even Cloud was away living in the RGU dorms during that time period. Except for Xmas…. I suppose he came and crashed with his family over Xmas break. Is that what you mean? That Leon also randomly ended up in Traverse Town during that period for Xmas break? I mean I guess he doesn’t really have a backstory here yet, but… I dunno.
