...so, I kind of got a question. When you're bored or finding yourself with too much free time, what do you like to do?

I'd train, but monsters only pop up around here during the maze.

I need ideas...'cause without Fenrir around to work on, this place gets kinda boring. Not to mention I need something to keep my mind off of things.[ooc; If

Too much free time or boredom, some may argue, is indicative of something symptomatic to not living to full potential.

Whilst I would not deny a bit of R&R - to take respite can only be best appreciated when you have been utilized, kept busy to the best of your capabilities.

It is Cadet Strife, is it not?

[limitbreaking]

Is that so? Never heard that argument before.

...and that would be right, though it's been a good couple of years since anyone's tacked on "Cadet" to my name. Who wants to know?

[adiaphonus]

You sound much more assured.

My name is Lazard Deusericus. I was the SOLDIER Director for ShinRa... for times in which..

Never mind. Things change, it is obvious that Gaia is a very different entity to Paradisim.

You had potential, I believe you surpassed anything we would conceive... This is what I am hearing. Are you really this hero, Mr. Strife?

[limitbreaking]

I've done a lot of growing up.

Lazard. Yeah, I've heard of you but I don't think we ever had the chance to meet. Memory might be a little bit foggy.. And this place is very different from Gaia.

...heh. Really, now? Then why was I never able to get into SOLDIER, if that's the case? But it's not like it matters anymore. But a hero? No, I don't really think of myself as a hero... People might say that I am, but, I couldn't have done what I did without the help or pushes from my friends.

Evidently.

I do not recall us meeting face to face, at least from last I remember. I was aware of your presence in the ranks however. Did you ever make it to SOLDIER, Cadet?

It is markedly different, and... what with all these versions of history, it can be quite disorientating.

Ahh yes. You know Mr. Fair.

[limitbreaking]

No, I was never able to make it into SOLDIER. It was just a dream for a country boy from some mountain town.

Yeah, the whole timeline seems to be screwed up here. Anything goes, apparently. Especially bringing back the dead.

...yeah? Zack's a really good friend of mine.

[ooc; eh heh, for anyone reading, just make believe that the 'Anonymous' is Lazard's logged in journal. Her FF extension went a little wonky on that. Thank you ♥]

[adiaphonus]

So why SOLDIER? What was your dream, Mr. Strife?

Oh? Who has been resurrected? Aside from Jack ShinRa, of course.. though technically I suppose that could not be classed as resurrection from his misfortunate accident, for he's barely older than I. Just from a past timeline it seems.

Both country boys with dreams, I can see why you two are good friends. He has spoken of you, here at Paradisim. Unfortunately, I do not recall you and he becoming firmer friends as you must have done in the past... and in my future. Just how much can you remember?

Probably what every kid wanted to be: make a name for himself and be a hero like the Great Sephiroth. I wanted to impress someone too..wanted to be able to protect her and fulfill the promise.

... [he's so hesitant to answer that] Friends. People from some other worlds, too, it seems. And the fact that Rufus' father is alive and kicking around here really doesn't surprise me. This place is becoming a ShinRa wonderland.

We were on a couple of missions together, spent time together when we had free time. I remember a lot. Why?

[ooc; Strikes? Deleted? Oooh no. He thought they were, but surprise surprise~]
