Anise wasn't sure what to think when she was escorted to the waiting room. It was disturbing enough that Landel mixed up her family - and Ion! - in his stupid schemes, but the military was going to do it too? While it looked like they were pretending to follow the Head Doctor's schedule, she still felt uneasy, like they might do something ( Read more... )

It figured that night would end before Rita and Taura could progress any further. Rita wasn't particularly disappointed to wake up abruptly, as they had reached a dead end. Really, the institute was doing them a favor by bringing them back to the starting point, where they could regroup.

What she didn't appreciate was the loss of valuable time, ( Read more... )

[From here.]It seemed the he was one of the first out tonight, though Castiel was not surprised that he had adapted to this routine so quickly. Heaven had involved far too much routine, and while being able to use his wings would have sped up this process a noticeable amount, he could at least make the nightly walk go by as swiftly as possible ( Read more... )

Sora greeted the night with mixed feelings. It would be nice to have Neku as a roommate from now on, but it also meant losing Minato and Roxas. His Other had left this place before and Sora knew that he could manage without him, but there was still something about it that left him feeling... not empty, but like he was missing something.

It was hard for Guy to believe that a farfetched idea of his might actually work out in the end, seeing how rare that was in this place. Still, he had found the leather and had been allowed to buy it, which meant that the toughest part at this point would be finding tools to work with and also blocking out enough time to work on making the sheath.

Cripes, it was just getting colder by the minute. Peter was rattling inside his coat, feeling mighty sore that the cocoa didn't do him much good now once he left the restaurant. If he wasn't so stuffed he might have gone back and bought one for the road ( Read more... )

Right now, Lightning couldn't decide if walking alone was better or worse than wandering the town's stores with Snow had been. She had no issue with going solo, of course... but it was a little uncanny to be doing it somewhere she had no information on- everywhere she'd ever been before, whether it be on a mission or otherwise, she'd always known ( Read more... )

Taura's stomach was growling, but she could be patient. Her nails were still tacky; she'd rather wear nail polish and eat lunch than vice versa ( Read more... )

In all honesty, Zack would have been happy to have spent the whole rest of the day with Cloud. He didn't see what was wrong with that, but he also realized that it might seem suffocating to his friend, and more than that, Cloud had wanted to go find Tifa. Even then, it might have been better for them to stick together, but ( Read more... )
