72... bad touch
private\\unhackable
Still the same dream. No matter where I go I still see it around me, smothering me. I still wake up with the burning in my arms and that laughter in my ears. Will it ever go away? Does Vincent still dream of it as well? Does Zack?
I feel like I will always have them no matter what I do. That I will always dream the same thing and wake up needing to run as far from everyone as I can get. Will it change if I start seeing someone? Will I hurt them thinking they are a part of my dreams? I don't want to hurt anyone that way.
What I want... I'll never get it.

Anyone still awake and willing to spar? Someone who's not afraid of big swords, thanks.

Always too lazy, Strife.
[Action]
What? I'm not allowed a vacation?
[Action]
Never.

[He was off-balanced and the blow to his legs did bring him down, but Cloud rolled back up to his feet and tried smacking Vincent with the flat of his blade.]
[Action]
Alright, [pant] you've made your point.
[Action]
You okay?
[Action]
Yes. [Pant] I believe.
[Hoping to catch Cloud for surprise he sudden turned and charged him, dropping to a slide at the last moment and grabbing at Cloud's shirt with his clawed left hand, throwing him to the ground and rolling to press his knee into Cloud's chest in the same motion. The Cerberus was away, and nothing but the claws of Vincent's gauntlet were at Cloud's throat.]
That was for the sand.
[He got off of him and offered a hand.]
[Action]
It was a dirty trick.
[Action]
That is was.
[Action]
...Thanks.
[Action]
I can't remember the last time I laughed.
[Action]
[Cloud tugged a blade of grass free and chewed on the tip, looking up at the stars.]
Well, before things got heated up again.
[Action]
I missed the lot of you.
[Action]
[He sighed and sat up, resting his elbows on his knees and looking over at Vincent.]
I almost gave her your number about a month ago.
[Action]
I should come around more.
[Action]
[Action]
Poker night?
[Action]
[Cloud waved a hand vaguely in the direction he came from, trying to point out Gaia.]
The rest of us call it 'trying to win all of our gil without super secret ninja skills'. Or maybe that's what Yuffie calls it. I don't know. You don't have to play - watching Barret lose is entertainment in itself.
[Action]
Such a casual request.
[Action]
[Cloud finished chewing the bit of grass to bits and picked up his sword, setting it across his knees and taking out tools to clean the blade.]
[Action]
I did.
[Action]
[Cloud rubbed away dirt and sap from the blade's edge, glancing over at Vincent.]
If you're interested in a game or two.
[Action]
[He stood himself, holstered his gun, and stooped to pick up his cloak. He shook it to rid it of loose dirt, then wrapped it about himself.]
Why not?
[Action]
[He looked up at Vincent, not ready to move yet.]
[Action]
Friday.
