"You fail at this game."
I am a happy bunny right now. My supervisor gave me the mornings off this week. Which means that I get to sleep in! Glee! Glee and joy! And! And! That means that I don't have to deal with annoying children who don't know the difference between "pay attention to what I'm saying" and "jump in and out of the water at random". I also have Monday off! My sister(s) and I are going to Canada's Wonderland. Whee! Themeparks make me happy.
Well. My mother has asked me to look into what it takes to run a 100 gallon salt water fishtank. That will be an adventure. Especially since I'm not supposed to tell dad. But Mum wants "Nemo's", aka Clownfish. My life is so complicated. Hmm, speaking of complicated, I need to get into the collage and do my pre-term stuff.
Anyway, have some FFVII fic, titled "Small Packages".

(Small Packages)
The last few months had been peaceful for the members of Avalanche and the rest of the Planet. The population was well on its way to full recovery over the Geostigma plague, thanks to the healing rain Cloud had informed them was sent by Aeris. In addition, most of the damage caused by the REMNANT Trio had been repaired.
Cid was chewing meditatively on a toothpick as he watched his crew unloading the cargo from the Highwind II. He really wanted a cigarette, but he was a) trying to cut back, b) in Mideel, and c) not stupid enough to risk lighting up so close to the exposed Lifestream and all the gently steaming mako pools scattered around.
They had landed outside of the town proper, tethered the airship to a stable section of earth, and started unloading SHIN-RA and WRO scientists, along with a bevy of accompanying monitoring equipment and various other less recognizable devices and electronics. Reeve and Rufus had come to an agreement in the wake of the latest Jenova uprising, and a large part of that was furthering their understanding of the Lifestream and the Planet itself. Mideel was the last stop in a chain of drop-offs that had included Cosmo Canyon, North Crater, Midgar, Nibelheim, and one of the more isolated Leviathan temples in Wutai.
“Whoa! Easy, dumbshit!” Cid shouted, steadying a crewman as he stumbled on a loose rock, knocking into Cid and pushing them both into a stumble.
“Sorry Captain!” The crewman gasped, glancing at the edge of the Lifestream pool lying less than a step away from them then back at this fuming superior.
“Just get going, idiot.” Cid grumbled, cuffing the crewman on the shoulder, “And watch where you’re fucking going!”
“Yes sir!”
Cid snorted and shook his head as his employee scurried off. The rest of his men - and women, Cid did not discriminate - were all suddenly paying much more attention to where they put their feet. Speaking of feet, Cid glanced down and grimaced at how close he had come to an unwanted, ill-advised swim. The edge of the Lifestream was less than a foot from his heel. Cid growled and stomped off to find someone he could yell at until the prickly feeling of the adrenaline rush raising the hairs on the back of his neck went away.
He managed to get one step.
Then Cid felt the ground crumble and give way under his sturdy work boots, his foot sinking in up to his knee. The flash fire sting and burn of mako sinking through cloth and saturating his flesh made him bellow an incoherent warning to the rest of the crew. Just as he finished shouting the section of the bank he was stuck in sank, expanding the exposed Lifestream by several square meters. Cid was sucked under with the dirt, only one thought running through his mind.
‘Fucking typical.’

So I've gathered quite the brood of dragons. I'm quite proud of myself really. I won't bother to post the adults, since that seems a bit redundant. If any of you are interested though my scroll is right here.
Presently I've got two eggs, a Vine:
And a Purple that is close to hatching:
And right now I have five hatchlings. Which means I need some of them to grow up if I want to grab any more eggs.
So first we have my just hatched Water:
My White is slightly older:
This is Denari, a Mint:
I named my second Skywing Swords:
And Chalices, my Pink, is close to growing up:
Please click and view my dragons. I really appreciate the help! ^_^
