Cloud's Birthday - Update!
Well, got dragged off last time before I could finish even starting the story, but I've got a few quite moments now so I'll try to type up the rest of it!
So we're in the Gold Saucer, and Cloud's got his blindfold on. Poor trooper is so nervous he can't even let go of my hand, but I just lead him along to the next part of the plan.
So, the Gold Saucer has a lot of really neat stuff, like I said: Chocobo Races, slot machines, a battle arena, all sorts of awesome stuff really. And one of the special perks that you get when you buy a premium membership is text messages about new features, and the ability to try out those new features before anyone else. And you can bring a friend!
Well, about two months before Cloud's birthday, I got a text about something new, and I immediately started planning. Occasionally I think ahead, ya know? So I've had this on reserve for months, now, and I made all the proper connections and talked to all the right people to get it set up just right.
They're not even technically available to the public right now, but they should be soon, so I shouldn't get in trouble for sharing this...
One of the Saucer's new features is private all-terrain cars that you can rent. I ordered one up for me and Cloud, and we headed out to the next stop on our plans. Still early afternoon, of course, plenty of time to get there, but MAN those things go FAST over sand! But I had to slow it down when Cloud got a little motion sick, so I took his blindfold off and we stopped for lunch and let his stomach get settled.
Then back on with the blindfold and to our destination!
Which I'll share all the details of a little later on. Cloud's callin' me over.
