“Yeah.” He stabbed a rat scurrying in front of them with his sword, just to give him an excuse to focus on something else. It was a big rat at least, so he didn’t feel bad.
XD Cloud’s manliness may never recover.

Actually, the crazy stalker points were still stacked precariously high.
I am amused greatly by this phrasing~

The sighting seems real enough - posted up by the Silver Elite. You ever hear about them? They used to be this big exclusive Sephiroth fan club, though these days it’s more of a cult.
Again, love the phrasing. Kinda creepy this time.

From: Kunsel
Subject: Watch your pockets
‘Be careful heading into the Fort Condor area. There’s been a spate of muggings in the forest recently by someone calling herself the ‘Treasure Princess’. Reminds me of this kid a friend of mine used to go on treasure hunts with. Come to think of it, she’d be about… nah, it couldn’t be.’
“What are you reading? Your PHS? Ohmigawd, that model looks ancient. If I’d seen that I wouldn’t have even bothered trying to rob you guys!”
From: Cloud
Subject: (none)
‘…You could have told me sooner.’
A-MUSING.

THAT’S WHY HE’S SO GOOD AT CHOCOBO RACING!!

After all, his long-distance sentinel was still human.
He was pretty sure, anyway. With SOLDIERs, that point tended to be debateable.
Haha, how very true.

*LOVES ALL OVER CAIT SITH AND HIS BLOODHOUND COMMENT~*

…holy crap, Kunsel, the Pagoda too? Photographic memory of a Veteran much?

Vincent chose that moment to materialise at his shoulder. “You should be careful with that.”
Cloud jerked, snapping the PHS shut and eyeing the former Turk cautiously. “What are you talking about?”
BOUNDLESS WISDOM.

“What are you, psychic?”
Yes, Cid, just like those fortune-tellers at the Fair.
I also love that Barrett called him a ‘spiky-headed punk’. True, but AMUSING.

From: Kunsel
Subject: Something wrong?
‘I think this is the first time you’ve sent me mail first. And I think you’re already crazy. You’d have to be, to pull off some of those stunts.’
From: Cloud
Subject: (none)
‘I’m serious. You know everything, right?’
From: Kunsel
Subject: Sure I know
‘But some answers you should find out for yourself.’
…is he taking some of Vincent’s boundless wisdom in pill form or something?
And anyway, interesting phrasing on Cloud’s part: “You know everything, right?”
Yes, Cloud, yes he does.

…awww, I love Kunsel~ *needs to go back and reread that random little K/C fic now*

“If it happens, it happens,” Barrett grumbled. “Don’t worry ‘bout it. If you go all weird, I’ll whack you upside your spiky white head and bring you back to normal!”
Oh god, Barrett, don’t ever stop being so black XD

“Let’s go already!” Yuffie declared, and bounced ahead. Vincent glided after her, apparently having pulled ‘make sure she doesn’t steal anything important’ duty that day.
He’d probably be the best at it, too.

“Message from your girlfriend?”
“What?!” Tifa squawked. “Cloud, is that true? What about Aeris?” The ‘what about me’ part went unspoken.
…perfect characterization.♥

Aww, Kunsel’s so good at trying to help… He’s such a Zack! DX

There was probably an advertising campaign to be had in that.
…how very… I’m not even sure how to put it, but that caught me off-guard. Love~

I have a theory that it's related to how Genesis made all those copies back during the big desertion.
…Kunsel is such an invaluable genius.

óAò K-KUUUUUUUUNNNNSSEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!
*cries*
what a cruel ending.
Come on, I already said he was invaluable… *cries*

Anyway, I feel the need to add that I am currently using my brand-new laptop, whose name is Cloud. (It’s a Toshiba L655D, and it’s purely amazing~♥)

But-but-but KUUUUNNSSEEEEELLLLLL!!

XD I have missed your blow-by-blow reactions. I'm glad that you seem to have enjoyed it.

*____* A Cloud laptop! Awesome! Though honestly, if I were going to get a laptop I'd be calling it Hojo, you know, for storing data and stuff. But I guess then my computer might start quarantining files and performing illicit functions behind my back and deliberating infecting itself with viruses to make itself stronger or something. Come to think of it, better be careful your laptop doesn't wipe the harddrive and replace all the data with someone else's, or worse, have a proneness to being remoted by any system named 'Sephiroth'.

Oh I so did.♥
But-but-but Kuuuuunnsseeeeeeelll...

It reminded me of Cloud when I saw it. And I'd never name anything of mine Hojo unless it was already evil. (Except maybe that new telly we have, it's got no personality.)
And yeah, it probably would.
XD I'm glad, then, that I don't know anybody with a system named Sephiroth! (I do, however, have a spiPod named Kadaj, who will be quite close to Cloud before long... ~muahaha.)

My only difficulty with Cloud as of yet is that I keep unwittingly resting my hand on the mousepad. And he gets fussy. (But that's my fault, not his.)

...and it just occurred to me that you must like/pay attention to Cloud's cell phone about as much as I do, because the time-discrepancy had been pointed out in my two favorites of your FFVII fics. In Fifth Act, it was too futuristic. In this one, it's too old. ^^;;

Indeed. His PHS in ACC was obviously quite new and shiny And waterproof, but I figure in this he'd still have the PHS from before ShinRa captured him, which would be at least five years old by now. Devil is in the details. ;) I'm impressed you noticed.

*needs a new phone... badly* demon_vampirate August 3 2010, 21:01:58 UTC
I want that phone. So bad. Unfortunately, it's a Japanese phone that would cost bajillions of dollars to ship and make compatible with US signals. (It's a Panasonic, I had the model narrowed down at one point too. *is a dork*)
But yeah, I tend to notice stuff like that.

Oddly enough, though, that didn't occur to me after rereading this; I've still only read it once. It occurred to me after my phone hit the pavement and half the screen died.
