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 ]

[mygod]

[ nods ]

Some of it. Your situation sounds complicated.

[residentmerc]

Yeah. [ he cannot deny it he still doesn't know how sephiroth is ? around? alive? affecting different FUCKING WORLD TIMELINES OR WHATEVER ] But we'll figure out. We don't have any other option.

[mygod]

Something about the fate of the world at stake?

[residentmerc]

Yeah. If we don't stop him, he'll kill everything and everyone on it.

[ ... except cloud he has specifically said that but cloud is not getting into that ]

[mygod]

[ okay toxic yaoi ]

Sounds dramatic.

[residentmerc]

[ I MEAN, YEAH. YEA..... look sephiroth gently hugs cloud at least once thats too many times for me ]

Yeah, well. He's a psycho.

[mygod]

And how did you get involved with this psycho and his drama?

[residentmerc]

... It's a long story.

[ that he does not want to get into, ]

[mygod]

We have time.

[ plainly. but also: ]

I will not prod you if it is uncomfortable, but then you'll need to choose a different conversational path.

[residentmerc]

It's not uncomfortable. [ he said, lyingly, with his lying teeth ] Just complicated. How much did Aerith tell you, anyway?

[mygod]

I believe that a question better suited for your companion than myself.

[ famine's not a snitch ]

[residentmerc]

I meant about Sephiroth.

[ though now he's frowning like. what is she confessing to these strangers. ]

[mygod]

My answer remains the same. I won't give details about my conversations with others.

[ talking about 'your world sounds bad' is generic enough though

meanwhile oooo trouble in het paradise ]

[residentmerc]

[ .... ]

Fine, I'll ask her.

[mygod]

[ shrugs ]

I would tell her the same if she asked about our conversations.

[residentmerc]

Good to know, I guess.

[ not that he would tell him anything he wouldnt tell her!!!!!*

*because he never tells anyone anything ]

[mygod]

The exception to this is very, very funny gossip as long as it doesn't break any rules.

[ stop this ]

[residentmerc]

[ . . . . . this is a trap but; ]

Like what?
