It's a little too luck based for my taste.

[ he's not!! cait!!! his luck stat isn't that good!!! ]

[mygod]

Oh? Find yourself unlucky?

[ a beat ]

I suppose that does align with what little I know of you.

[residentmerc]

I didn't ask. [ to be roasted!!! ] It's not bad if I want to know what powers other people get without having to share, I guess.

[mygod]

[ no one ever asks... ]

An upside, if you're forced to look for one.

[residentmerc]

Yeah, I'm all about looking at the silver lining.

[mygod]

If your luck continues to be this bad, I do imagine it will be a honed skill, yes.

[residentmerc]

What, the other guy doing better?

[ mysterious other ditto ....... ]

[mygod]

That’s not for me to say.

You don’t wish to find them?

[residentmerc]

Tying my life up to someone else's? Not really my thing.

[ this isnt me saying you guys cant hint i want you to ignore clouds wishes for my own curiosity idc about his feelings ]

[mygod]

[ goodbye forever ditto partners ]

Oh? There is nothing you want badly enough for it to even be tempting?

[residentmerc]

[ NOOOO I WANNA KNOW

also maybe if he realized that aerith was dead idk ]

No thanks. Not into the whole deal with the devil thing.

[mygod]

[ the fact that he doesn't know makes me shake so bad

but famine shrugs ]

I do not blame you. It was merely a point of curiosity. You all vary in your willingness to engage, it seems.

[residentmerc]

[ his brain is fine don't worry about it ]

That's not too surprising. Different wants and experiences.

[ he gets how it could be appealing, is the thing. ]

Would you? If you were in our shoes.

[mygod]

No, but only because there is nothing that I want so badly that I could not achieve with my own hands.

[ there is little need for a wish ]

[residentmerc]

But joining a cult was fine?

[ :/? ]

[mygod]

It was.

[ they at least acknowledge that it's a cult and a weird decision. they cross their arms and tilt their head, trying to consider their words ]

It was never meant to be my everything. I was and am looking for new things to pass my time. To see if a god could be created—that is something new.

I simply cannot tolerate the cost of it now, so I changed my mind.

[residentmerc]

So it was boredom.

[ being so bored you join a cult...well, maybe he can't judge. sometimes you become an eco terrorist for five dollars ]

Life that bleak usually?

[mygod]

I would not call it bleak, necessarily. My life was complete. I wanted for nothing, because I accomplished all that I set out to. Until all that was left for me was paperwork and maintenance that anyone else with two braincells could do.

[ so they took the opportunity to bounce ]

[residentmerc]

Doesn't sound that complete if you could just bounce from it and leave it all behind.

[mygod]

Oh? What do you believe was missing?

[residentmerc]

If your life's complete, you wouldn't want to leave it. If you're going, that means there's something more you're looking for.

[mygod]

By that definition, I suppose I cannot argue.

Then I will say that the place I was before this did not have enough to satisfy me.

[ tilts head ]

And you? What would you say that you are searching for?

[residentmerc]

Here? A way back.

[ WHOMP WHOMP. but god fine he'll share ]

There's a man I've got to stop. That's it.

[mygod]

[ fair enough cloud fair enough... ]

Ah. Sephiroth, or whoever?

[residentmerc]

[ OR WHOEVER honestly relatable ]

Yeah. Aerith tell you?

[ or yuffie but yuffie is more likely to shit talk shinra ]
