100... parents are

[atouchofstrife]

My father... I never knew him. Mom said I have his hair, and that I had his smile. I didn't like smiling even then because I knew it hurt her. Sometimes, she wouldn't even see me, but him.

ShinRa killed him. They said he went missing in the mountains, that one of the dragons probably got him, but he was a Strife. We were all Strife. We knew the ways.

I never listened to them when I should have. I don't remember all the ways.

...Huh. Curse day?

I know.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I don't even know them yet I am talking about them.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I was wondering what it's like when it's untied.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Oh. I see.

...Maybe I should stick to talks about killing things or getting drunk?

[elevatorwarrior]

You need to get laid, man.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Tifa's gone.

[elevatorwarrior]

Cloud, when I start looking appealing, it's time to go Underground.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Don't sell yourself short, man.

[elevatorwarrior]

Just... no...

What the hell has gotten into ya?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Boredom.

[elevatorwarrior]

If you're that bored, do some work or something. I got no idea if I should drink with you or pound on you anymore.

Who would blackmail, and why? It's old news.

After Meteorfall we get roughly two or three blackmail attempts a month. Most of the time it's some random crankpot claiming the voices in his head are Shinra's doing. However occasionally we get a former scientist or executive with actual damaging information.

I don't know if you're been made aware of this but the company is not very well liked after Meteor, and our position is made extremely vulnerable by Rufus's ill health. We cannot afford more enemies. And from what I've heard happens in our future, we especially cannot afford to have Rufus linked to SOLDIER.

If Rufus is to rebuild the company he'll need a good public image, not matter what the cost.

Thanks.

[itachi-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

Ya okay?

[invocadora.livejournal.com]

Yes. Kimahri found me there, and took me to Besaid afterwards.

Understood.

But uh, can't see how that relates to the old man being notorious with women and be damaging when it was pretty well known in the ranks. He took a group of employees down to the Honey Bee every week.

...now, that's something I don't get. Meteor wasn't our fault.

It doesn't matter what's true. What matters is what people think is true...

Cissnei or Zack may be able to explain. Then again, maybe not. But I'm not going to say anymore over an insecure channel.

Chief, someone would have to have proof first, and joking around with a buddy isn't good enough.

(ooc: I know about Lazard.)

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

And now you are gonna fight Sin?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

My... Tifa's gone.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Neither one would work right now, Reno.

[elevatorwarrior]

Hey, I'll pay for it if you go Underground.
