...

...No.

I'm going for a drive.

[ooc; The video is subbed and comes from the PSP game 'Crisis Core', but this is how Cloud remembers the death of his friend Zack. Zack fought a bunch of people trying to protect a comatose Cloud and he's always felt guilty about it. He won't enjoy anyone picking at him about this memory and he is going to be very touchy towards all. Roomies, have fun.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'll be there in five minutes.

[ ooc; ... P-pull a Seph meaning, what? I never played FF(insert correct number here) ._. ]

Better hurry. I'm not waiting.

[ooc; FFVII~ And never played? *boggles* It's like epic~ for an early 90's game. Well, basically stab him then sit there laughing at him. And I should find a scene of the two fighting]

One minute and counting down.

[ ooc; Never played a single video game thing whatsoever. Except for some car racing thing at a friend's once or twice. And she would't do anything like that.
Oh, and do you want to commentspam them driving around or just assume it? ^^ ]

That right? *hum of his bike's engine starting up*

[ooc; Wow. Neato. I guess I'm so used to people playing games all the time in my family. Even mom's a better gamer than me and she's in her fifties. FFVII actually has a movie too Advent Childern and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxE8CrXdRj4) clip comes from the last fight scene.

I'm open to either, but slow replies will be slow since I've got work until the weekend.]

[Have Cat walking over to Cloud and his bike.]

Hey.

[ ooc; My mum wouldn't let me and then I just never got into it *shrugs* Heard of Advent Children before, but only 'cause I've got a song from the movie's soundtrack on my HD *fails*

I don't mind slow replies at all :D ]

[He nods, adjusting his goggles.]

Made it.

[ooc; She wouldn't let us either but, we often had gone to friends places to play stuff like Street Fighter and Zelda and when we got a system second hand, she started playing Mario and Zalda. Course she only let us play on saturdays because non-school day.

Okay ^^]

Said I would, didn't I?

[Her hair's up in a braid so it won't get in the way and she nods towards the bike.] So how fast does it really go?

[ ooc; I think I played Zelda once? It had those cute little tree thingies that spew nuts at you. I liked those :D ]

That you did.

[Cold shoulder much? He's wound up tight and looks about ready to either break or get colder.]

Fenrir. About 400 kph.

[ooc; Zelda is a cool game. The lastest one is just awsome. Although I do like my lawyer games and my shiny Crisis Core.]

Yeah.

[She doesn't mind much. She's not here for great conversation, after all. She lets out a low whistle.] Nice.

Let's go?

[ ooc; ... Crisis core? Lawyer games? Whut? *more fail* ]

[In answer, he settles on the bike, shifting to balance the bike.]

Mn.

[ooc; Crisis Core is the prequel to FFVII and where that clip comes from. Lawyer games are the Ace Attorny games starring Phoneix and later Apollo. No fail, just not your thing ^^]

[Cat gives a little shrug and slips on the bike behind him.]

[ ooc; Ace Attorny.. there's pups from that in poly, right? At least I've heard of that somewhere o.o ]

[He barely waits for her to get settled before taking off, the bike shifting through the gears fast. Cloud weaves through the people on the streets, and takes the bike off the road, the heavy duty tires easily biting the ground as he increased the speed.]

[ooc; Yup there are! They are a pretty fun bunch of games, more like puzzles.]

[Cat brings her arms around his waist, holding on to him as they go faster, reaching the point where she wouldn't be able to outrun the bike anymore even if she tried.]

[He's stiff under her touch, his back ramrod straight even as he leaned into turns. Once cleared of the underbrush, he eases the engine further open, letting the bike race like it was made to do so.]

[Quite the opposite of him, Cat let her body follow each movement of the bike fluidly. His tenseness didn't really bother her, though - she could relate to it. She'd give him more space, but on the bike, that was a bit hard to do.

The bike went even faster and Cat let out an involuntary whoop.]

[Space wasn't his problem. Cloud was stuck in thoughts of the past and that always left him lost. He didn't like his past being aired out to the public and he had seen from other people that trying to get rid of one would bring several more pieces to life so he left it. But it was still wrong.

Now he was starting to show off, even if it was involuntary, directing the bike towards steep cliffs and sharp dips and pushing it even faster.]

[Cat tightened her hold on him, leaning forward to leave less of a target for the wind.

She cliffs gave her a moment of pause, but she figured Cloud probably knew what he was doing and she was fast enough to get off the bike even at this speed without injuring herself too much.]

[The cliffs were nothing. The bike sped over them with only a slight change from solid ground to being in mid-air the only warning until they hit ground again and was still gaining speed. Cloud shifted down, easing the bike to a less wild pace as they hit rocks and still they kept on going.]

[Cat craned her neck a little to stare at the ground they were decidedly not touching. She hadn't expected that. Seemed this bike was pretty damn sturdy.

Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, partly from exhilaration and partly because wow, they'd just driven over the edge of a cliff. That kind of thing usually happened only in movies, or so Cat had thought.]

[It was a Hardy Daytona, one of the strudiest bikes ever made. Of course Cloud had rebuilt it from the original - and stolen - model, but still there was a lot to be said for ShinRa military vehicles.

He slowed down some more, hitting a clearing filled with purpple and yellow and red wildflowers, before coming to a complete stop. He probably came there often, seeing that someone has made trails in the field.]

[Cat looked around, eyes wide, and slowly started smiling.]

It's beautiful here. [Voice soft enough that he could ignore it if he wanted.]

[He was relaxing slightly, taking deep evne breathsas he took off the goggles.]

...There was an old ruin church I used to go to, the old flooring torn up so flowers could grow. In the slums, it was the only place to find them.

This place reminds me of that.

[She got up, walking through the field and smiling.]

It must have been stunning. Ruins and flowers. [Cat wasn't a romantic person or anything, too practical for that, but she recognised beauty when she saw it.]

D'you come here often?

[He kicked the kick stand out and got up as well, running a hand through his hair as he looked over the flowers.]

Mn. It was. I can't go back there to think but this works.

I didn't even know this place existed.

[Still smiling, she slowly spun around in a circle, looking at the field all around her.]

How did you find it?
