atouchofstrife | 45... okay that was interesting

Zack. Ready?

private//unhackable
So. Anita died. It's weird and I don't know what to do about it. I want to kill the bitch that hurt her and... I haven't felt that way for a long time. I'm glad I took a drive instead. I don't think they would have liked it if I ended up dying too.

Also, I'm not sure what this is suppose to mean... but I tried it anyways.

1. tiger - The tiger represents pride. While the tiger is beautiful and necessary and a thing of great worth in this world, it is best to keep tigers in the jungle and away from our day-to-day life. Otherwise, our poor cow and pig could be in danger.

horse - The horse represents family, your nuclear family as well as your extended family, cousins, and other kin. The horse helps to carry your weight, serves to move you forward, is a companion who goes with you wherever you need to be.

cow - The cow represents vocation; what you do in life, your occupation, career, job, where you want to be or what you want to accomplish, your goals, your ideals or foundations. We will call the cow 'ideals,' in fact. The cow or buffalo or ox, as some of you might know, is an animal held loftily by many cultures from my world.

sheep - The sheep represents love-- not just romantic love, but also self-love, love of family and friends, love for life. Gentle or passionate feelings, obligation to others. A sheep is a fairly harmless and defenseless thing, you realize. It needs to be protected and treated kindly for it to be useful.

pig - The pig represents material wealth and gain. Money, home, land, clothing, all those nice things in life. Pigs are a lucky thing, and not just lucky, but something wonderful. They represent plenty, nourishment, having our piece of the proverbial fat of the land. Oh, to be the pig.

2.
dog -trusting :: The dog represents how we view ourselves. It is just one word, not a complete picture. More of a snapshot-- one fleeting feeling in one single moment of time, the present. It could be how we consciously see ourselves or how we subconsciously see ourselves.

cat -warmth :: The cat represents one of the qualities that we see in the people who we surround ourselves with-- our friends, acquaintances, lovers and partners.

coffee -energy :: The coffee or tea represents romance to a lesser degree, and to a stronger degree, how we feel about or approach sex and sexual relationships.

ocean -life :: The ocean represents our life. It could be the past, the present, the future. What we are looking for, what we have, what we feel gives us the security that we long for or the answers that we need.

rat -secrets :: The rat represents our enemies. Those who we hate or who we feel work against us.

3. yellow -zack :: Yellow is the color of the saffron of a priest's robes. It represents in this situation a person whom we are guided by or who greatly influences our lives, typically for the better but not in all cases.

orange -yuffie :: Orange is the color of a sunrise. It represents in this situation a person whom you are curious about, who you wish to learn more about. Someone perhaps that you think that you could get along with in this or another situation. Maybe another lifetime.

red -vincent :: Red is the color of agni, fire. It is the most intense color and has the longest wavelength and can thus be seen the farthest (that is why the 'stop' light is red). It represents a person whom you feel passion for, whether or not that passion has laid itself bare. Not necessarily romantic or sexual passion-- one could feel a passionate friendship or a passionate hatred as well.

white -sephiroth :: White is essentially the color of nothing and of everything. White repels and reflects. This is why in my country and in most of the eastern countries, we wear white at a funeral. This is to tell the world that this person who has died is no longer an active participant. That the mourners repel the outside world, all that they have left of the deceased, it is within them. For the purposes of this exercise, white represents someone who you see yourself in-- who reflects parts of you.

green -aerith :: Green is the color of consciousness. The person that you identify with green is someone who is on your thoughts. Someone who you think about frequently, who you would find hard to forget. It can be for a good reason-- perhaps someone who changed your life for the better. It can be for very bad reasons, as well-- the green-eyed monster, perhaps?

Even if I wore him down a little, you must have done something else to him.

I still say he ran from shock.

[CLoud nodded and smirked just a little because it was fun to argue about, even if it was a little weird.]

All I did was run him through with the Buster Sword and then he got me, and then I tossed him into a wall.

"All he did", he says.

[Zack crossed his arms, tipping back in his seat. He made the eye roll as obvious as possible.]

You probably fought him longer than I did.

[Cloud leaned over to give Zack a poke in the shoulder, acting less like the reserved Cloud from ealier.]

[--Which was mean, because it disrupted his balance and he had to flail and regain it before the chair tipped over.]

And did less damage! You just cut to the chase and owned him, man. I don't know how you can't see the awesome in this.

[Congratulations Zack, you just got a snort of laughter from Cloud.]

So he says when I snuck up on him to get the first blow in.

[Congratulations, Cloud, you just got a smack upside the back of your head. :|]

Sephiroth started it, so it can't be considered the first blow.

My first blow.

[Cloud eyes Zack for a moment and decides to smack him upside the head.]

Stop that.

[Zack decides to dodge, because he was expecting that.]

You started it! Didn't your mother ever tell you not to hit a lady, Mr. Strife?

She never said anything about hitting a guy dressed up like a lady.

[Cloud wasn't willing to get out of his seat to chase Zack so he settled back for now.]

[Zack tugged at his collar, looking down, and raised his eyebrows.]

At the moment, I think you have that backwards.

Would you STOP that?

I'm not doing anything!

You... do you know how that looks?

[Cloud's face was a bright red color.]

[Mission success!]

Yeah, so?

[Cloud eyes him for a moment and snorts.]

You've been talking to Lestat.

Maybe, but that hasn't changed anything.

Ever think you might just attract the crazy types, Cloud? I started more than one trend with you, you know.

I've been getting that feeling a lot lately.

[Zack could only smile, because he didn't think Cloud minded as much as he acted like he did.]

[And Cloud just looks at him, the serious, blank, no-nonsense look that he has developed over the years of dealing with people like Yuffie and Zack and Barret, and all the rest.]

[Leaning forward on his elbows, the look twitched into a smirk.]

So serious, Cloud. The look doesn't work for you.

You'll be surprised at how many people think that's the only look I have.

[Zack tilted his head one way, and then the other, thoughtful.]

[And then leaned over so he could MAKE Cloud smile, pushing up on either side of the man's mouth with his pointer fingers.]

If I have to walk around doing this to disprove that, Cloud, you totally know I will.

[Cloud eyes widen and he slaps at Zack's hands even as he leans back further in his chair, color appearing on his cheeks.]

Zack... what the fuck? I don't need to smile all the time.

[Zack raaaaaised his eyebrows.]

Hey, I'm not asking you to be like me. Angeal would roll over in his grave, wherever he is.

Just a little more would be great.
