[There's a pause, and a faint frown.]

...nothing...

[Was just... hanging around, y'know?]

[backing_wind]

[Cloud grabbed a bar and unhooked his legs, flipping over again so he was dangling by one hand.]

Wanna play?

[bulletshock]

...uh...

[A pause. Not really used to that question. Then there's a bit of a smile, thin and waning. And a nod.]

Okay.

/dies from the cute Vincent icon

[backing_wind]

[Cloud does not understand the concept of shy. "Okay" is the same as an enthusiastic "YAY!"]

Wanna be pirates? Or monster hunters?

I want to take Lil' Cloud home with me. DX

[bulletshock]

[He's kind of done hanging upside down-- it kind of hurts the head a little. Dropping down is a little graceless, but that's okay! Aspect of play time certainly helps the mood, though.]

Never played any of that. How does it go?

You sure? He's a real pain in the ass sometimes...

[backing_wind]

[Cloud drops to the ground too.]

If you're pirates, you get swords and guns and say "Arr matey!," and get treasure. If you're monster hunters, you get swords and guns, and kill monsters.

We can use sticks for weapons.

*A* I am quite sure.

[bulletshock]

Treasure? You mean-- like on boats? And then sailing?

[:|a This is very relevant to our interests.]

I'll make sure to link you when he gets irritating, you might change your mind...

[backing_wind]

They have boats and airships! And they get treasure from deserted islands, and have parrots and cool hats, and walk the plank.

Come on, we need sticks!

[Cloud takes off for the nearest tree, looking over his shoulder to see if Vincent is following.]

:>

[bulletshock]

[Oh, he's following alright, and that shy layer seems to have melted right off, off to look for a good stick.]

So who's gonna be captain? I don't wanna peg leg... [Makes a bit of a face. Sounds uncomfortable to begin with.] Maybe I shoulda brought my scarf. It would have looked cool...

[backing_wind]

[Cloud looks at the ground. Nope, they keep the area way too tidy around here.]

We have to climb up to get sticks. You can be the captain, and I can be the first mate... we need something for treasure! Like leaves.

[bulletshock]

Captain? ...me?

[Really? That's... kind of cool! He's glancing up the tree, frowning a little.]

...big tree...

[backing_wind]

[Cloud gives the tree a defiant frown and starts gripping the bark with all his strength.]

It's not too big for me!

[With effort, he manages to get a foothold and starts making his way up.]

[bulletshock]

[Well, country boy, you've met a city kid, and he's fiddling with his shirt before scowling and deciding, well if this other kid can do it?

So can he! Albeit, a scraped palm for the effort of at least following as best he can.]

[backing_wind]

[Cloud makes it to the first big limb and plops himself down, leaving room for Vincent.]

Now we need to find good sticks. Do you want a gun or a sword?

[bulletshock]

[Vincent struggles up there, having some trouble, but he manages, rather pleased with himself.]

Which is better?

[These concepts won't sink in until later, obviously.]

[backing_wind]

They're both good for killing monsters.

[Cloud looks at Vincent appraisingly.]

I'll have the sword and you can have the gun!
