126... err oops

...Um, I think that everyone should avoid the kitchen for a while. Until I get it cleaned up. I was following directions...

Tifa, settling in okay?

It is. Personally, I love a good cup of Nibelheim-styled coffee, but it doesn't taste right with the whiskey I've found here.

[starchilde_lost]

"Nibelheim"?

Otherwise known as Hell Mountain.

Where the Nightmare was set loose.

Figures it would have been the oldest Mako reactor in the world to do it.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Figures that Hojo would have his biggest experiments inside that thing and that I come from that place.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

A small mountain town, known for it's drinking and being my birth place.

[starchilde_lost]

Hence the whiskey. Do you miss it at all?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...It was home, despite everything. A part of me will always miss it.

[starchilde_lost]

I can understand that.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could.

So I was going to teach you poker, right?

[starchilde_lost]

Yes, you were, when would you like to do that? I'll even bring refreshments in case the smoke damage in your kitchen is too great.

Saturday is taken, so maybe Monday?

[starchilde_lost]

Monday is a night off for me, so that would be fine. Where you wanna play?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

You can come over to my place - maybe Angeal can get talked into playing and Reno if he's around.

[starchilde_lost]

I don't know Angeal, that could be nice. But I can't say I've heard exactly flattering things about your friend Reno.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Angeal's an okay guy - pretty much an old SOLDIER filled with ideas of honor and honesty. He trained my mentor.

Yeah? Anything good?

[starchilde_lost]

Sounds like a few people I know back home.

...That fight he had with Anita comes to mind. She was pretty damn upset and she doesn't strike me as a person that flies apart at little things, ya know?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

He's a rare man where I come from.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff happening between them building up to that point. I usually don't take it to heart when he starts, but I'm pretty use to his ways.

[starchilde_lost]

I generally have a low tolerance for jackasses who insult my friends, but if he's your friend then I won't say anything if he doesn't.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I won't save his ass if he does something that pisses you off enough to smack him for it. Turks can take care of themselves without a delivery boy stepping in.

[starchilde_lost]

You have a deal.

...What's a Turk? Is that a branch of your world's military?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Turks are... special agents of ShinRa only answerable to the President.

I was regular army, SOLDIER was the elites of the army, and Turks... spy might be a better word for them.

Private;

[elevatorwarrior]

You mean that one where she nearly tried to take my head off when I was yelling at her about how stupid she was during the Geostigma outbreak and ignored all my warnings about something she knew jack shit about and wound up endangering not only herself but half the city, and basically deserved getting her ass chewed out for it? THAT fight? The one she started? The one where she maybe knew she fucked up and couldn't take it?

Yeah, you wouldn't hear anything good. Let Anita blow shit out her ass about me. I couldn't care.

Re: Private;

[starchilde_lost]

No, I mean the one who was scared to shit about her husband and made some mistakes and maybe, just maybe, could have used a little compassion and understanding instead of a dressing down that made her feel worse and liable to do something stupid she would have regretted the rest of her life in the City. Quite possibly killing you in the process.

Of course you don't care. That's why you decided to comment.
