123... geostigma is a bad word

So they did it. Imagine that. I guess that if we had this kind of talent back home, the stigma wouldn't get so far. Let's start with those affected the worse and go from there.

...This makes it what? A nice round hundred times I nearly died? Let's see... there's the reactor, the mountain bridge, the reactor, the mansion, the barracks, that one mission with Zack, that other time with that scientist, hmm... Loz and Yazoo almost got me - right in the heart, yet here I am.

You'd think that someone would get lucky and kill me the right way. Then again, Aerith keeps on kicking me back out of the Lifestream. Maybe she doesn't like being called 'Mother'.


[ooc; Death and all his friends curse from the grab bag. Cloud so has it, and yes, anyone working on the geostigma cure can post here to talk or whatever.]

helpful Reeve is not so much, actually.

You had a temple almost fall on you. Not to mention the time you went for a swim in the life stream.

[OOC: He can't tell a lie.]

that's okay cloud wants to talk unfortunately

Then there was Hojo. Five years in Hojo's care. I think he skinned me alive at least twice and look, not even a scar.

No one knows how to kill a guy on Gaia.

ahahahaha they can pretend it never happened tomorrow.

[identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I think we did pretty well, what with the whole-sale slaughter and genocide. Wutai? That was some prime murdering.

cloud's getting it worse tomorrow >.>

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
But see, I wasn't there. The moment someone tried killing me they just didn't. I mean, Sephiroth and Jenova and all of them? Beat me all over the place and yet they're dead and I'm still here.

Awww! Howso?

[identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, fine, but don't blame their incompetencies on the rest of us.

you'll see >3

Hey! That one guy led your army to victory in Wutai.

[identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Cloud, you don't get to mock Sephiroth and then run to his defense when I try and join the party.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Can too. Those were other people, not me. It's my near deaths we're talking about.

[identity profile] urbandev.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine. You can have the not-dead trophy and everything.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you've got some... pretty bad luck.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. I always was a strange kid. Even when I did almost fall into the river like Tifa did.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Even as a SOLDIER, I'm not sure I've had that many problems.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a Strife. We attract all the bad luck.

I think I'm the only guy that's lived through getting gutted by Sephiroth four times.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Runs in the family?

...that sounds like, er. Quite the accomplishment.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

I just think he enjoyed playing around otherwise I would be dead. Four times over at least.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we were all always a bit competitive. Either he was just playing around, or you were too good for him.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't really know. It always felt like he was showing off and then he always got this stunned look when I did something new.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
That's strange. You'd think he'd be expecting it, with all you've apparently been through.

...it sounds like this has been going on for a long time.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I still think going Jenova-poo on us made him lose his common sense.

About eight years now. He dies, he comes back, he stabs me, he dies again.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-03 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
That... might just be kind of understandable, though.

...he's persistent, isn't he?

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
It was part of an experiment, right? I just think that, well... I couldn't expect someone not to change after realizing something like that.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't he know, though? I mean, stuck around Hojo all that time, wouldn't he know?

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
It was a while before any of us knew. Maybe it should have been obvious, but... they never told us anything. Genesis and I had to find out on our own, so I wouldn't doubt if it was the same for him as well.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

He found Hojo's notes in Nibelhiem.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
You mentioned that a lot of things happened there. That kind of seems to be the turning point - the difference between how I knew him before, and how you know him now.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I still can't understand why that would push him over the edge.

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Those things had a big impact on all of us. I suppose it's just a matter of how we chose to deal with it. Of course, it seems we were all kind of lacking when it came to our... better judgment then, but that's another story.

It's kind of difficult to explain, but I suppose it's just that I can kind of... relate.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
You're still human, no matter what he did to any of you.

OHH if you could see the face he's making at you, Cloud. |D

[identity profile] monsternorangel.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but maybe not. It sure doesn't feel that way.

sorry angeal~

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2009-05-05 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I know. But dwelling on what makes you less human never gets anything done.

;--;

...maybe you're right.

You're a big pile of walking emo that'd crumple the moment you had to do my job.

Thanks. I would have never realized that.
