@linkedvrains​ ::  ❛ you should be careful. this area is pretty shady. ❜ (Ryoken, FF7 verse?)

“ Yeah, but doesn’t that mean you should probably be more careful, too? ” 

Because Zack could handle his own; that much he knew. He wouldn’t flaunt that fact, but the average person didn’t go messing with SOLDIER just because they thought they’d be an ‘easy target’ to get the jump on -- and Zack’s relaxed, almost carefree posture would speak that much, too. The most he had to worry about here? Monsters and rogue outliers who had a beef with ShinRa themselves.

Could the other say the same?

starter prompt: “I can never do anything right can I!?”

It wasn’t often that Spectre would get angry, or upset, or anything like that. But something just made him snap that day. It was a coding job, one that he and Ryoken were working together. Everything seemed normal. But then bugs began showing in the code. A missed space here, a bracket not closed there, just simple things. But the simple things built up, more and more, Spectre could see his own work getting sloppy. And there was frustration in his typing. He wasn’t even sure if Ryoken snapped at him, sounded concerned for him, or even said anything at all really. Spectre was so focused on the code, maybe it was just a voice in his own head he was answering. But he answered out loud. “I can never do anything right, can I?!” Spectre snapped. The second the words left his mouth, he was staring at Ryoken with wide eyes. “I... I...” @linkedvrains​

...At least he’d asked, which meant he didn’t actually think she was that stupid. Or he wasn’t completely committed to the idea; she could live with that, probably. (After all, she’d lived with worse.)

“Um, no,” Jin told him, and it was almost apologetic. “Not even a little. But I’ll still try and patch you up if you want. And then maybe when you’re not in as much pain you’ll be able to come up with a better lie. Mm?”

★―【Once upon a very rare vacation...】

Finally, Ryoken thought to himself once he had placed his foot on the pathway of the new town that him and Spectre were going to spend the next couple of days ( well, weeks ) at.  To be away from Den City and to see a different kind of scenery for once was certainly refreshing. Not even Ryoken would be able to lie about something like that.

The first and last thing that was one the “To-Do” list was buying a few more things that they would need in order to survive here. Sunscreen, swimming trunks, toothpaste -- essential stuff like that. Certainly, it wouldn’t be hard to find that. Before that, Ryoken decided to drag Spectre over to the fairly giant mansion that they were going to spend most of their time at, just so they could get rid of the suitcases and bags they brought with them.  It was beautiful and very expensive. Marble walls and furniture, wide windows that enabled them to have the perfect look on the clear ocean -- Ryoken couldn’t have wished for more.

Instead of getting lost in the atmosphere again ( because he definitely would, especially with Spectre ) Ryoken quickly decided to drag both of them into town to get that shopping trip over and done with. 

While strolling through the town, the white haired teen made sure to keep Spectre’s hand in his own, not really wanting to let go for a reason he couldn’t quite name. Perhaps, he felt a little more brave here, because he knew that he wouldn’t run into anyone he knew.

At least, that was what Ryoken had initially presumed.

While looking through some of the clothes in a shop, he suddenly spotted something blue -- and pink. At first, Ryoken simply brushed it off, thinking that it was another article of clothing. However, when he looked up again, he could very clearly see a pair of emerald green eyes -- Was this his mind playing some kind of trick on him? Or was it...?

“...Y..Yusaku?”

@linkedvrains​ said: 💤 (Ryoken?)

Nightmares didn’t occur as often to Tsuki when compared to Ryoken, but that didn’t mean he was completely saved from them. On this particular night, it seemed like Tsuki was hit with a dream so violent that when he was shaken awake, he was in a cold sweat. On top of that, he was in tears too.

At first, he didn’t realize that he was awake. He was breathing heavily with his eyes wide. But as soon as Ryoken came into view, Tsuki was quick to cling right onto him.

“Ryoken-” He breathed out, sounding relieved and desperate at the same time. “Thank god, it’s a dream...”

@linkedvrains​ sent: "My brother's not here right now but he should be back soon." (Jin? I think they haven't interacted yet)

“So I guess that means Yusaku’s still not around to help you look after this place either, huh?” 

That’s what Takeru had ventured all the way to Cafe Nagi for anyway; in a last ditch effort to find Yusaku before he was set to leave Den City to go back home. At least getting the chance to talk to his friend before they’d be a few hours apart by train again wouldn’t have made Takeru’s leaving the city so...sad?

“Hey-” How often was it that Yusaku actually went asking for advice from Spectre in the real world? Never; but if there was anyone who could actually answer a question that he’d had since his last talk with Ryoken, it was him—if Spectre would be willing to cooperate anyway. 

“So how do you get someone like Ryoken to listen when he seems to be stuck on the same answer? I know you’ve had to deal with him plenty in the past before.”

      “Wait a sec, aren’t you the guy that was Tsuki’s roommate way back with a name that sounds like a dog breed? Ryō-ken or something?”

      He’d occasionally hear his ex talk about the former roommate affectionately, up until the little brat up and vanished. He hadn’t seen or heard of anyone keeping in contact with Tsuki and in all honesty, Jeremy was a little worried.
