I didn't forget about this blog! I just don't really have a muse for him at the moment sadly. But you can find me here...
Hey guys, I think I'm going to drop most of the threads on here as it's been a long time and I've lost interest. However, I would gladly be up to plotting and all for new ones~

I've been neglecting this blog. I promise I'll be more active later~
link, you must find her.
“It doesn’t…always have to be you” She notes quietly, knowing that more often than not it was Cloud that was keeping watch, while they slept or relaxed. It seemed like Cloud never got the same chance, or at least he never gave himself the opportunity to relax as much as the rest of them. “I could keep watch sometimes too” She offered, her lips offering a cheeky smile at him.
Aerith laughed softly, nodding her head at him. He probably was right, trouble seemed to follow her when she ventured off alone. Her gaze moves to linger on him as he utters her name, breath catching in her throat at his question. That wasn’t what she was expecting.
“Cloud…” There is a pause, and her eyes wander back out towards the fields. It was a heavy question, and she wasn’t sure how to answer. Whatever her thoughts were, Cloud wanted her honest opinion. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked. “I think we’re trying to protect those precious to us…trying to stop…whatever could happen” She was sure it would only get more dangerous, that the journey would continue to test them. "I have to believe we’re doing the right thing. That our fates are intertwined...that we're on the right path. No matter what happens, we're trying to do good." Her words are careful, as if avoiding the larger picture. Aerith was terrified honestly, of what would happen, of what had transpired in the past. The only thing she had faith in was they could make a difference, they had to.
Aerith offers a small smile, viridian eyes catching his mako-infused blues. "What do you think Cloud?"
Afterall, his thoughts mattered too.
Cloud listened carefully, eyes fixated on her as she spoke. Though, he could sense the uncertainty within her word. He felt the same way, that he had to beleive they were doing the right, or he wouldn't be able to live with himself after everything that been caused by their doing. Her question didn't surprise him, though he expected that it was coming. She was always concerned for others.
"I think..." He began, but the sentence broke midway. It felt like his heart was in he throat. What did he think? How did he really feel? The thoughts were all jumbled up in his head, he was having a hard time finding the words. But he had to.
"I'm uncertain about everything, truthfully. I'd like to think we're doing the right thing but everything we've done so far has helped no one. It's only made matters worse for everyone involved. For Barret. For Tifa." He paused, eyes dropping towards the ground, "For you." He shook his head, "I'm finding it hard to be positive about all of this."
Sephiroth paused when he felt Cloud pass out in his arms and urgency arose. His single black wing emerged and in one swoop he airdashed and took off like a bullet to his hidden safehouse in a forest where large crystals grew out of the ground and the lifestream could be seen flowing through the air. His safehouse was beside a river that he laid Cloud beside, the lifestreems branched out like little veins to touch the young man and flow through him.
The silverette knelt beside Cloud and plucked an ebony feather from his own wing to place on Cloud's chest. Much like a Pheonix Down feather, Sephiroth's feather glowed the same teal hue of his eyes before being absorbed by Cloud's body to cure him of all injuries he had sustained.
Cloud let off a sharp breath, mako infused eyes shooting open as he quickly sat up gripping at his chest. He had been dead, he felt it or at least, close to death. He stayed frozen there as he caught his breath before taking one large slow breath, exhaling as his eyes found Sephiroth near him. So, this wasn't a nightmare after all. He wasn't sure if that was a blessing or a curse. He'd soon find out.
"Thanks....I guess." He spoke, knowing it has to be the silverette's doing that he was still alive, despite that the very wounds that had littered his body was from the ex-SOLDIER after all. "Now... that you got me....wherever you have me." The surroundings weren't familiar to him. He'd have to keep an eye out for escape routes just in case they were needed. It also noted his sword on Sephiroth's back. "What do you need me for? Why am I here?"
"If you did not want to give it to them, and you did. Then my bet is some kind of control someone had over you. I for instance, can control those with weaker will if I so wish to. It could have been that person controlling your action to force you to give this thing to them..." Made sense to Narinder.. But then again, mind control was something that came in the land of gods.
"So this.. you called him Sephiroth earlier, did you not? What is his reason to wanting to destroy the world if you know? Is it revenge? Hatred? It's silly to want to destroy an entire world if you ask me. Once it's gone-- there's nothing left and nothing left to be a part of..."
Narinder wouldn't dare destroy a world, in fact he sometimes protected worlds that were threatened. Save for Shigaraki's world, but that was an exception...
The immortal one grins more to himself and then looks to Cloud. "How would thy like to strike a deal, Cloud?" The cat god folds his arms over his chest. "If you are to spread my influence in this world.. Get people to worship me. I will aid you... Make it so failure is not possible. I can bring you back to life, again and again. No matter how many times you fall..."
"There's something wrong with me. I'm not completely sure what, but it is somehow linked to Sephiroth. I'm the only one that was affected. My friends were not. He had no control over them like he does me." He needed to look more into it. The words that Sephiroth has spoken to him, calling him just a puppet, still resonated in Cloud's mind. He shook the thoughts away as he didn't really want to think much about it. The growing mounds of regret and grief were going to smother him.
"Hatred." The blond stated matter-of-factly. "He hates humans. He sees himself as some sort of god above all of us mortals. This isn't the truth, but he's definitely not just human. He's....alien." Figuratively and literally. "He believes he's above this world. It will not end him if he destroys it."
That was tempting. If he died, he'd come back. That meant he could take more risks than he'd be able to currently. Though at the same time, it seemed strange. They had their own gods, but then again, Narinder was standing in front of him. Perhaps he was a deity of this world. The benefits outweighed the cons it seemed. "Fine..." Cloud outreached his hand, "You have yourself a deal." Perhaps his friends wouldn't have to put themselves in danger if he was immortal, for the time being that is. That was worth it.
@lupumiucundis continued from here
Q raised an eyebrow as he looked over the blonde. "Breathing is technically accurate, though you don't seem right in yourself." He pointed out. "Come inside and have some water before you leave?" Q offered, not pressing the issue but it would be a good opportunity to check on him. Not that he was really any of Q's business anymore, and had no reason to even trust him.
Cloud eyed the other male before letting off the smallest sigh of defeat. He honestly could use the small rest as he just felt completely drained of energy. "Fine." He said with almost a huff, though he secretly was grateful of the offer. Most people seemed to keep to themselves anymore, even with those in need. The world they lived in was rather glim, it felt like even though it was saved, the soul has been sucked out of it.
I FORGOT A DISCUSSION AND AM GOING TO HAVE TO EAT THIS 'F'
lack of interaction ≠ lack of interest. sometimes, life gets in the way, or my muse doesn't cooperate with me the way i want, or i'm simply too anxious to take the first step. but just because we currently don't have any interactions going, doesn't mean that i'm not interested in writing with you and your muse(s). maybe the perfect opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, or i couldn't think of a good enough plot but that never ever has anything to do with you. after all, we're mutuals for a reason and that's usually because i enjoy seeing you on my dash and would love to write with you ― whenever that may happen.
Of course telling someone to sleep was easy, the actual sleeping part can be difficult. Especially if one had night terrors or any form of PTSD that triggers when dreaming. Narinder wonders if making Cloud more tired would give him the peace of sleep.. Though it could back fire and Cloud could get NO sleep and just die from lack of sleep... The god decides against toying with that idea...
"Did you know this person was bad before you gave the item? Or was this person seemingly good? Or did you give it against your free will?" Narinder asks another question. A palm touches his own cheek, it was one of those moments of 'at the wrong place at the wrong time.'
"You should not blame thineself for your friends death. I am sure this friend of yours wouldn't want that either. You cannot be with someone every waking second-- at all times. Or else you would get nothing done... Instead, you should kill this person that killed your friend to get revenge.."
Narinder was one of those 'if someone harms or kills someone I care about, I'll kill them in return' kinda guys. Sure it wouldn't bring the person back to life... But for him, it felt good to slaughter someone who harmed one he cares about.
"Unfortunately, Cloud.. Some thing are inevitable.. Death is one of those things that happens to everyone. No one can escape it. But that doesn't mean it's the end of the road... Death simply... leads to another journey, another life.. And you too will die and go on that journey and join your friends who have fallen. You have to stay strong and get your business done... Thinking about how weak you were or how you weren't there for a friend won't save anyone. Focus on your current friends and keep them safe..."
"I can't explain what happened really." Cloud replied, "I do know, I did not want to but something overpowered me." He was learning more and more about himself after that incident. So much he thought he knew turned out to be a false memory. His own feeling of self was murky at best currently. Tifa cleared up some of it, but even then he felt there were bits lacking. "And this person, this....thing...is not good. Not at all. He is the one who is attempting to bring end to this world."
What the cat-like deity said made a lot of sense to Cloud. It was true that Aerith would not blame him, and did not blame him, for her death. She wasn't that kind of person. He also knew that he couldn't be in two places at once, no matter how hard he wanted to be. He couldn't help but let off a small laugh, smiling down as he shook his head, "Oh, beleive me, that is the plan. I will, or I will die trying that is."
"Yeah.." He replied, looking towards the exit where his friends slept not too far from him. He needed to focus on them. They were alive and well right there. If he had any power at all, he would keep them from getting hurt, but they all were their own people and wanted different things. They were strong and would fight alongside Cloud even if he protested. Honestly, he wondered if he needed them more than they needed him.
@un-chained
Sephiroth was careful with the smaller male not to worsen the wounds, cradling him bridal style in his arms he held Cloud to his body with care. A stark contrast to moments before where he was delivering the very wounds Cloud was suffering from now. Staring down at the blond he was glad to see his words kept that fire alive. He didn't want to extinguish it, it just needed to be directed to the true enemy: Shinra.
"Good, you hold onto that feeling Cloud. Now imagine Shinra soldiers slaughtering them along with everyone else that opposes them, that's what is going to happen if I don't finish what I started." The silverette explained as he began to carry Cloud away. He would take the mercenary to where he had been taking refuge, off the grid and away from civilization. When he wasn't attacking Shinra troops and structures Sephiroth was here in the wilds where he was closest to the lifestream.
Cloud remained quiet as his mind was taken over by hundreds of questions that he knew he most likely was not going to get answers to. Why was Sephiroth doing this? None of this made sense. Where was Avalanche? Tifa and Aerith? What was happening to them currently? What if Shinra had them? "No..." He groaned, his body feeling cold and numb. Cloud couldn't just leave them to their fate. He knew they were strong, but.... "They'll hurt them. I have to be there." It wasn't too long after, he felt darkness creep into his vision before it blackened out entirely.
She dips to take the spot he patted, her gaze fixated on the distant horizon in front of them. It flickers back towards Cloud when he speaks, and she shakes her head. “It’s okay” Until he came tumbling down into her life, Aerith was used to the isolation that her life brought her. “Sometimes we need space…but sometimes, company is nice” It was the easiest way to ask to reaffirm he was okay with her presence.
“Its beautiful” She notes, her soft softer than before. Her world was metal, smoke and slums. It felt….vastly different out here, perhaps a tad bit scary. "I see why you like to sneak off" This was more familiar, the gentle jab of a tease, her lips in a slight smile. There were moments she could tell that he was distracted, thoughts behind mako blue eyes that he wouldn't share. Then again, if they were both honest they each had secrets.
The city made the voices of the planet quiet, whispers between winds and petals. Out here, Aerith felt vulnerable to every single living thing. It was harder to pretend, but still she sat with a smile, a kind word. She was much better at pretending.
"Maybe it'll be me who sneaks off next time" A tease, but foreboding nonetheless.
"Yeah..." He replied softly, his eyes falling towards his boots. It was nice having company sometimes, but company meant more responsibility. Cloud had to make sure they were all taken care of and free from danger, or at least as free as they could be with the situations that continued to unfold in front of them. Somehow, they managed to fall a situation far more evil and serious than they could imagine. It's just, he didn't quite know how that fit into the whole picture. Not well at least. It was like bits and pieces were within his arm's reach, but then would quickly move farther away before he was able to grasp them.
Cloud slowly look up from his boots to her before giving a gentle nod and turning his eyes back towards the wilds before them. It was familiar to him; home. He felt like he could breathe a little better being out here than trapped in the walls of Midgar. "Someone's gotta keep watch too. You never know what could spring up." He said giving her a small smile. Sure, that was true, but wasn't the reason he was out there.
"Oh? Is that so?" The mercenary replied before shaking his head, "I don't know if that's a good idea." Then again, he knew she could hold her own, but he was still terrified of letting her venture too far from the group. After what had happened with the Turks, he couldn't chance it. Not again. No, he wouldn't let that happen again. "Aerith." He said lightly with a somber expression, "Do you feel like we're doing the right thing? Or are we just making things worse?" With the falling of the Sector 7 plate, doubts began to form in his mind of what they as a group we attempting to achieve. What if they brought more death and destruction with them to wherever they went after.
Headcanon:
Cloud is of Scandinavian decent. With where he's from along with some of his physical attributes I feel it fits. Which average height is 5'10" or 177.8 cm. With the Remake, he appears taller so I'll use that height as well.
