sighs wistfully and thinks about this country boy with his first ever (shinra) flip phone... taking pictures with the 2mp camera and taking years having to keep pressing the numpad to cycle to the letters he wants... searching for the best ringtone to set...

don’t go out there.

pretty AND smart. we’re gonna get along just fine.

if you hurt her i’ll kill you!

what are you doing here?

you’re late. as usual.

you’re in this with me now, [ name ].

no one else is gonna save you.

why don’t you slip into something more comfy, huh? like a coma!

i’m gonna put you in the ground like it’s my job.

you’re following me?

i noticed you already ‘borrowed’ all of my whiskey.

you’re supposed to be normal - you’re supposed to be SAFE!

of all the things i’ve ever wanted to call you? you’re such a coward.

wanna know how batshit i am? nobody shoots my family but me.

you stupid, crazy bitch.

you’re really staying this time, aren’t you?

this is blackmail, you dick!

how DARE you!

you owe me dinner. i’ll settle for tacos!

it seems i have settled among a commune of artists.

how about smiling, huh? you ever do that?

well, i like attention. i always have.

you ain’t one of us.

i’ve been meaning to introduce myself, i’m [ name ].

when i see something i like, i don’t wanna wait.

good thing you’re not some guy, right, or this would be really, really awkward ...

you don’t have to be nice to everybody.

i would remember a face like yours.

i’m an excellent judge of character.

you’re so not my type.

darlin’, i’m everybody’s type.

the dead don’t get a vote.

pfft, rookie mistake.

god, that’s super weird — what’s going on?

you need to hide.

run ! i’ll hold them off.

i am sorry, [ name ], but it’s you or me.

you’re a good man! you’ve got a code!

you don’t wanna do this!

you have no idea what i want.

buy me a round, [ name ]? seems like you’re just my type.

we can’t all settle down with our high-school sweethearts.

welcome to team ‘shut up and do what he says’. sometimes, we get donuts.

you should be doing this. you were meant to.

deal with that ... or i will.

we didn’t trust each other ... and now look what i’ve done.

you do not know what i am.

you’re supposed to be a hero.

pull your head out of the past.

the hell took you so long?

this is what our victories might have to look like.

look, if you’re about to propose a threesome, i’m tired and i haven’t shaved my legs.

this just doesn’t make sense to me.

goddamn, it’s you.

the problem with this criminal thing, is it’s kinda fun.

i can’t live like this, not anymore

don’t get your hopes up, we don’t know what we’re gonna find.

it wasn’t my idea to do this.

this is the only way to sanctuary.

you just could never help yourself.

vengeance is hollow, [ name ]. it isn’t worth a thing.

you’re not a monster.

i need rules. a code. otherwise i’ll end up just like you.

stop kidding yourself, [ name ], you are exactly like me.

i sympathize with your predicament.

leave, if you want.  go get ... dead.

only one death scares me, and it didn’t take.

ugh, ever heard of manscaping?

come on, he is just ... so beneath you.

what’s up, [ name ]? i never see you.

i’m the one with the vendetta, why are you gunning so hard?

we? there’s no ‘we’.

why should i help you?

you think an $8 bottle of pinot will make me listen?

i never liked you, you know.

am i in danger?

back then, you lived and died by what the seasons gave you.

shut up and help me.

can’t we just enjoy the moment for once?

[ name ], now is not a good time.

happiness is a myth.

would you like some company?

it’s gonna be a long night,  might as well make it fun.

you’ve done your worst.

how many tiny pillows does one girl need?

hold on a second, i want to record this so i can replay it to you when you’re being a dick.

you being here is definitely not selling ‘normal’.

there’s been a change of plans, i need to go away for awhile.

this is supremely cryptic, even for you.

say ‘pomegranate’ if someone’s got a gun on you.

this doesn’t seem healthy, [ name ].

i don’t really care where we are, as long as we’re all together.

are you sure you’re okay?

don’t be cross, i’ve got wood.

your ass is like ... top shelf.

dude, you’re like a walking bumper sticker.

is this strip poker? i’m not shy...

this kind of wound won’t heal, i’m dead already.

you save your vendetta for another night.

you suck at your job.

don’t shoot me, [ name ].

honestly, [ name ], you’ve gotten so weird.

that is NOT sexy!

nobody keeps booze in here, [ name ].

i think somebody’s trying to scare you ... toy with you. why?!

you of all people should know better than to try and make me question my sanity.

what do you MEAN you killed a stripper?

in my experience, dynamite solves all manner of problems.

haven’t you read a romance novel lately? heroes always win.

oh, you want to be a hero?

wanna tell me what that was about?

that was really brave. stupid, but brave.

i have something i need to say.

i’m starting to think sanity’s overrated.

i understand if you hate me.

you’re always, ALWAYS lying.

we should get some breakfast, i could murder a stack of pancakes.

you should know by now, i’m not most people.

well, you learn something new every day.

hey, no, you’re okay. lay back.

[ name ], i need you to listen to me.

okay, [ name ], we’re in serious shit here.

park your daddy issues.

i’m not like you, [ name ]. i’m not brave.

what was the last thing you saw?

close your eyes, take a deep breath in.

look at who the cat dragged in.

cut the bullshit. i know who you are.

you use humor as a form of self - defense.

answer my questions without any more guff.

what is it with psycho’s and talking in the third person?

you’re not really in the position to do any bargaining, are you?

you do look like you can handle yourself.

you want my help? you need to earn it.

i guess [ name ] wants you alive for something.

we should make it look real.

you know how to make someone show you where something precious is hidden? set fire to their house. it’s the first thing they go for.

don’t be irrational, [ name ].

you served your purpose, and now you are released.

i’ve had a lot of names, but you can call me [ name ].

you weren’t leaving without me, were you?

never touch my stuff.

you’re the sickest puppy in the litter.

you were dead ... and now you are not.

oh, aren’t you the master of deception?

let’s not kid ourselves, you’re not going to survive this.

[ name ], i always hoped that i would have this pleasure.

if you stand for nothing, you are sure to fall.

you do what you do best, [ name ], you fight.

you’re just like me. you’re broken.

i’m not lonesome, i just prefer to hunt alone.

you have to let go sometime, [ name ].

you continue to disappoint me.

let me make it up to you.

i thought i’d feel different. i thought i’d look different.

you release the rage, you might find there’s nothing left.

woah, wow, this is not what i expected the cat to drag in.

for the first time in ages, i woke up and knew exactly what i needed to do.

you can try, but i dare you to cockblock the drive i woke up with this morning.

i’ll sleep when i’m dead.

you’re not alone,  [ name ].

just once i want you to say it. that you care about me.

someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

why do i even get out of bed?

i lost you once, i won’t let that happen again.

[ name ], you are shakin’ like a leaf.

jesus, listen to me. maybe i am crazy.

i’m not sure this is the best idea.

you’re the one who told me i should blow off steam.

i’m not crazy, right? there’s something going on here.

you’re making fun of me ...

get in the car.

could everybody just stand still for one freakin’ minute?!

it’s gonna be okay.

i just screamed at you, you shouldn’t be nice to me.

we’re not dating.

i would never ask you to be someone you’re not.

yeah, sure, [ name ], whatever you want.

[ name ], what kind of a mess have you got yourself into now?

if you shoot, this all goes to shit.

your poker face is pitiful.

sorry, no speak evil.

who won’t you make a deal with, huh?

you can judge me all you want.

what do i care for some broken woman’s opinion of my character?

you can talk all you want. they’ll be your last words, anyways.

this whole time you’ve thought this was personal.

you shut your lying mouth.

what happened to being friends?

it’s not so easy to be brazen when the thing that you want, that scares you to death, is sitting right in front of you.

i scare you?

when i think about what i wanna do most in this world, it’s you.

jump in anytime, [ name ], because i really don’t know how to do this.

maybe you should make me.

i owe you a heap of thanks. and my life.

can i at least buy you a drink?

aw, [ name ], you really do care.

it’s worth dying to see the look on your face.

men are all the same. even the demonic ones.

[ name ], calm your tits. have a drink.

do me a goddamn favor and refrain from mentioning that name.

i think you would be very pretty in blue.

everybody knows... about us. the sex.

you tracked me?

what are you doing here, [ name ]?

if you’re keeping things from me, IMPORTANT things ...

don’t get all hard & forget that you’re human.

sun’s starting to go down, we should head back.

i feel a real connection with you, [ name ].

i do hate goodbyes.

look, we need you, okay?

can’t you at least try?

we can’t tell anyone. not until we know for sure.

i don’t want to be rude, but i don’t know any of you ... or what’s happening.

i don’t drink.

what kind of people give a kid a switchblade?

this is your home, [ name ].

how can you think this is funny?

i’ve been crazy, didn’t care for it.

i’ve been told i have character.

are you scared of me?

i need to start drinking less ... or much, much more.

how in the hell did you get this?

i lost control. i was angry at everything ... at everyone.

you promised to never tell anyone that.

it’s always been you and i.

it can be like it always was ... and different, too. in all the right ways.

you’re not alone anymore.

i think i got a little bit shot ...

i need you to tell me everything you know about [ name ].

i thought i was doing what you asked!

whatever you’ve got planned, i’m game.

now there’s a sight for sore eyes.

i don’t wanna hurt you.

why aren’t you more freaked out?

if there’s one thing i’ve learned this year, it’s that ‘good’ is a moving target.

what are you gonna do about it? tell on me?

who the hell are you?

you took it from me?

nobody’s getting hurt on my watch.

when are you gonna take responsibility for all that you’ve done?

i’m running out of goddamn time.

this isn’t over. i’m coming for you.

now you know how it feels when people take your things.

i know that you’re scared, so am i.

are you sure you’re up for this?

you might want to stand back.

you went wrong.

this one’s gonna hurt.

i’m ready for anything.

Happy little Zack laughs (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

@ffseven #zackweek » Day 4: Cheerful

[105zz]

成長

[coreflamed-deactivated20260720]

She catches the intent in Zack's posture and answers the challenge in full... and then some. “ Trying to impose a weakness onto me? Shows just how mature you are, Mr. SOLDIER! ” Thus begins their staring contest, started by him and to be ended by her. He's going to regret making her the butt of a joke!! Or so the Great Wutai Spy thinks, scrunching her face into a cartoonishly menacing glower. Capping off her defiance by raising a fist into the space between their chests, Yuffie's intimidating act quickly falters as she realizes the tiny hairs on her chin were rising from the cold air right beneath it.

...Cold air?

Yuffie loses the staring contest of her own making when her curiosity inevitably gets the better of her, disarming the daggers she bore into his Mako-infused eyes. “ Huh? ” As opposed to the one holding nothing, she had raised her snow cone hand, the paper cup bending helplessly under the force of her grip. Her own strength shocks her, sometimes...! Practically forgetting about their stare-down and the importance of it to begin with, she flashes one of her disarmingly clumsy grins and relaxes her hold.

Until he goes and basically calls her penniless! “ Excuse you?! Of course I have money, @1stclass! What kind of question is that?! ” It's a little too defensive to be convincing, and Yuffie feels all fuzzy inside from his ministrations as she grumbles out the truth. “ ...Okay, maybe not right now, but that's just 'cause I'm between major scores. ” If perhaps a worried patron or a hardworking employee still has their attention on the pair, they've probably got as much of a headache from watching her go through the motions as she herself supposedly did from the cacophony of music and colors.

“ I never said it was messed up, I said it was… temporarily unsettled. There's a difference! And besides, I have to win you that big prize for this! ” Finally giving the snow cone some long-awaited attention, Yuffie uses the tiny spoon to dive into the icy dessert.

[1stclass]

he can't help but roll his eyes at this point, the smile still lingering on him. “ sure thing, yuffie. 'temporarily unsettled.' whateeever you say. ” snow cone-less but with a satisfied yuffie beside him; an equal exchange he can't possibly regret. and now that that's all settled, the rest of the gold saucer calls for a resume of their activities! …if the mighty ninja can handle more of it, or course. seeing her dig into the icy treat prompts him to jerk his head towards the rainbow-lit path, a wordless gesture to follow him.

the deeper into the heart of the tourist attraction the two of them go, the busier it gets. the main plaza serves as the branching off point to go to different sectors, so it's no surprise it's where the most foot traffic is. it'd be easy to get all turned around, zack imagines, so he makes sure to keeper her in his sights as he ventures off into the wonder square.

and that's when it's spotted. in all its flashy glory with a worker harking the game, it's moogle knockdown! the simple goal of throwing balls at rows of moving cutouts of moogles. it's the perfect trade for a snow cone. “ hey, there we go! ” he jogs right up to counter, exchanging his gil for five small balls. and that's when he steps aside, his hands on his hips to make room for the actual player. “ well, better knock yourself out! and you can't miss even one. let's see if this great ninja can reap some great loot. ”

[yukako]

She groans the moment Zack registers himself as an obstacle in her path, feeling silly for having wanted him to simply take her grouchiness to the chin and catch up with her later. And in this clash between him, an unstoppable force, and her, the immovable object, infinite energy beats infinite inertia. Her disgruntled expression softens and slowly dissolves, undone by the sincerity in her friend's willingness to be a listening ear. An olive branch of presence, freely given, without even knowing the shape of the trouble.

“ I know I'm getting better. I know it. But... ” The words spill out of her in a sudden rush, like they've been simmering just beneath the surface, waiting for the smallest crack to escape. What's gnawing at her feels so small, so trivial, when she sets it up against everything else, but she can't stop now, can't backtrack and say actually, nevermind! and walk away.

Yukako rolls her neck with a deep, weary sigh, the gesture suggesting some lingering physical strain and masking—- before she reveals it herself—- the truth. “ But Higashi never actually says it to me. Not once. It's always just... again or fix your stance. Would it really kill her to just tell me, @1stclass? ”

[1stclass]

the root of yukako's woes are revealed, and he can't say it's a ridiculous thing to despair over… hard work and effort should be met with acknowledgment— she's not wrong for wanting that much, but the 1st class mentors seem to operate on their charges with a far more humble and blunter approach. “ huh… yeah, i hear you, ” zack nods along in solidarity, listening to her vent. he can always lend his presence, try to make a person feel less alone in their troubles… but he can still only look at the situation through his own lens; his own experiences and grievances with his mentor.

when zack does well in a session of angeal's training, it's rare he gets the full scope of the praise he really wants. the difference with zack is… that he finds the rest of it underlying in the older man's words or actions. 'that was fine,' really just means… that was great, zack. 'you're progressing well,' really just means… you're definitely ready to become a 1st class, zack.

zack starts walking idly around yukako now with slow steps, nodding to the sound of his own thoughts. “ okaaay, but hear me out for a sec. maybe she's being so hard on you… because you're doing good? ” his ruminating steps stop at that. his logic is a simple, hopeful thing: “ i'd rather hear 'again' than hear 'stop, that's wrong'. angeal's the same way… sorta. it's probably just because they're older. you know how people get when they're older... it never hurts to just ask her either, y'know. —uh, without the 'calling them old' part! ”

[alekk2018]

[buzzkillgirls]

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you

[bombgirl]

reze stood with the awe and reverence typical of anyone who'd come face to face with a soldier like this , an honest to god knight in shining armor floating ideals of safety and a warm hearth to return to surrounded by people who care about her . there was something about him that endeared her ; no one has ever smiled at her like that before , something about the lack of predatory glean of want was disarming .

the concealed blade in her back pocket wasn't too heavy , maybe she could indulge in this for a little while longer . “ Second in line , huh ? Well if no one else's around that just makes you the best , right ? If I showed you where they're coming from d'ya think you could get rid of the leader ? They're the main one causing trouble around here . ”

her hands clasped behind her as she spoke , feigning the sort of innocenct curiosity one would expect of a damsel in distress . she couldn't help but wonder how a soldier could come out the other side with such a sunny disposition , and as endeared as she was.......something about it deeply irritated her . he smiled so naturally , all while she had to control every muscle in her face to bring about even a shade of such gleaming intentions .

it was kind of annoying , actually .

[1stclass]

always ready to jump at an opportunity, the distance between them had already begun to grow before his quick stride stops entirely. the simple and obvious logic of the first-hand witness herself knowing where to go versus a gung-ho SOLDIER who's only just arriving to the scene… “ … ” zack turns to face her with his arms now crossed (as if he could physically guard against the small sheepishness he feels!) nodding along. “ oh… yeah. good idea. you lead the way then. ”

relenting lead of the charge allows him to look around while matching her slower pace, at least. for the outskirts of a town under attack, there wasn't anyone else he could spot. no distant screaming, no man or beast running about, no signs of life except the two of theirs. maybe the situation just isn't as dire as he thought... “ by the way… you don't really seem all that scared to me, ” he notes idly, his head still on a swivel. any potential red flags about the situation as a whole are completely missed by him, bless his heart.

but then again... it only makes sense to be relieved by the presence of a SOLDIER, right? “ lemme guess: not your first time dealing with monsters here? but even if that's true, when we get to the big one, just run home and let me handle it. i'll swing by afterwards to make sure you got back safe, promise. sound good, …? uhh… ” a momentary pause, finally looking back at her with that grin of his. “ oh yeah! what's your name anyway? mine's zack. ”
