*denial denial denial*

Why do your fics always make my cry? ;_; Even the happy ones.

[sinnatious]

I... I'm not sure. Sorry?

[swyrel]

OMG YOU SUCK! T_T I was so happy to see some Kunsel/Cloud fic b/c Fifth Act made me love them both together, and then you do this! T_T OMG WHY?!

Seriously, though, I loved the whole text message format for the fic. It fit really well. <3

BUT OMG KUNSEL! T_T

....did they really go into space in the game?

I LOVED IT!

[sinnatious]

They did totally go into space in the game! Spacesuits and everything. (Except Vincent. Vincent doesn't need a spacesuit.) Cid IS an astronaut, after all.

Thanks! :D And um, sorry about the tragic.

[swyrel]

.....So Vincent doesn't have to breathe then. Hmm... Ya, I knew he was an astronaut, but I didn't know that meant they actually went into space. lol Damn, I really need to go play that game.

lol np. I've kind of come to expect it from you, but for some reason, it still surprises me. =P

This is Obi-

Haven't heard from me in a while. Figured I'd drop by and say hi and stumbled across this.

That is HEARTBREAKING! I loved it...and hated it...and I think I'm going to go cry now, thank you very much.

Excellent job.

Re: This is Obi-

[sinnatious]

Your timing is impeccable in that case! \o/

You're welcome, and thank you.

“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.

‘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!”

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'.

[demon_vampirate]

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.)

[demon_vampirate]

...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. ^^;;

[teekoness]

You know a while ago I started thinking of you as Sin for short, but I stopped because I thought, "Oh no, Sinnatious is too nice a person to be called that."

*reads fic*

...

SINSINSINSINSINSIN!!!!!!

Okay, okay... Now for my actual thoughts. Nice fic. You captured the feeling of Kunsel's texts quite nicely. As well as pointing out the seriously stalkerish aspects of Kunsel. Utterly hilarious fic.

Since reading your take on him in "Fifth Act", I've had this stupid plot bunny where it turns out that Kunsel was running the AVALANCHE intelligence network and since Jessie was his contact, that's why we never here about him later in the game. You've really made him a distinct (oddball) character in your fics.

I'll now go stick my head in the ground with the other people. Kunsel clearly got hurt in Meteor and is now dealing with a bout of amnesia.

[sinnatious]

Most people shorten it to Sin (even the LJ people I've met irl)... but never did I consider THAT to be the reason! XD Possibly writes too many tragedies, normally, maybe why everyone was paranoid about a bad ending for Fifth Act.

\o/ That's an epic plot bunny! You should totally write about that.
