[ 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?

[mygod]

Your puppy love moment would count if I were allowed to speak on curses.

[ they can't though... saved

but instead: ]

Anyway, you should call War 'Wario'. They will not tell you why, but I think it should catch on.

[residentmerc]

[ FROWNING HEAVILY AT THE FIRST PART

but. hm. huh. hmm. ]

War...io. [ this is the start of his descent into cameoing in smash brothers ] That a reference?

[mygod]

Maybe?

[ but they make a zipping motion across their lips. they can say no more ]

[residentmerc]

The nickname's fine to gossip, but not what it means?

[mygod]

[ nods ]

Most of the good jokes are secrets.

[residentmerc]

... I'll take your word for it.
