100... parents are

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?

Your father sounds like a brave and honorable man, Cloud.

He was, I guess.

Always thought you looked like Rufus, from a distance.

Wouldn't that have been a riot? Me, his brother?
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Booze!)

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Actually...

I don't remember my mother. Her face, the sound of her voice. But I know she was a good, kind woman.

You must know your father was a good man, too.

I suppose it would be pointless for me to apologise for what Shinra did to your father?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Did you hear stories of her?

He was my mother's life.

...Reno.

Just find me my old footlocker when we get home, Tseng.
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Confused)

What?! The President's been known to sow his wild oats all over the damned place.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. But still... no. That is just sick.

[identity profile] invocadora.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Some, yes.

As my mother was my father's before she passed on, and bringing peace and safety back to Spira became his life.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
I can't imagine finding anyone like that.
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Boom Baby!)

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Heh heh...
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Nyah)

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
What? Why'm I an ass both ways?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
...you don't want to know.
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Doorslammed!)

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
I get called an ass giving it, I get called an ass getting it. I don't see the winning situation here.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if it wasn't so nice you wouldn't get referred by it.

[identity profile] turk-director.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'll put it on my to-do-list.
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Holy Crap)

1/2

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
....
elevatorwarrior: ((Reno) Grr)

2/2

[personal profile] elevatorwarrior 2009-01-12 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
WHAT?!

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.
