28... snow memories

[atouchofstrife]

When I was a kid, they used to have swimming contests in the hot springs during the winter. That was before the generator was hooked up and monsters got bold enough to harass us. I never went into the water. Too scared of what was hidden by the steam.

Huh. Strange how memories pop up when you don't want them to.

It's not that bad out. Sort of like home... in the mountains. The weather's like this when I met Zack. Not that cold, a light snow, and Tsung complaining about how his shoes made it hard to walk on ice. Happy days.

Swimming contest?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Fastest swimmer, bravest swimmer, that kind of stuff.

[theredreaper.livejournal.com]

Want to have a go at it?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Sure. It's probably warmer by the ocean or the hot springs right now.

[theredreaper.livejournal.com]

I'll meet you at the hot springs?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll be there in a half hour. Okay?

[theredreaper.livejournal.com]

Works for me. See you there.

Only Niebleheim would hold outdoor swimming contests in winter, hotsprings or otherwise.

It didn't snow much in Junon that I remember, unless it came off the ocean.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

With snow being around for over half a year, yeah, we did a lot of crazy things.

It must have been nice.

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. The year I spent up there was... cold.

Not as much as I remember. Kind of damp and clammy pretty much all year round. The ocean I miss, though.

I found Midgar a little warm in the summer.

Was that before or after they stuck that big gun over the town?

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Well, Midgar...

Before. The gun didn't come along until Midgar failed. That was all Scarlet.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Midgar is Midgar, right?

I never saw the purpose of having a huge gun except as a replacement dick.

[urbandev.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure that was the appeal for Scarlet, yes. Insert whatever crude sexual innuendo you want here.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Who needs crude sexual innuendo when all you need to do is show a picture of her to people?

Indeed, memories come at the strangest of times.

Grew up in a cold area. I guess the snow's a reminder of earlier days.

ty~!

[imperialwill.livejournal.com]

Bad memories?

yw~!

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

When isn't childhood full of good and bad memories?

[imperialwill.livejournal.com]

That is only too true. Though I suppose those swimming contests were good memories, yes?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. They are.
