Hyne dammit.

[ Squall appears on the camera, his face tilted toward the sky. It's not easy to make out his expression, especially when the his pokegear is positioned low and near the ground. The angle is sharp but there's still a clear view of Squall's left hand tightening into a fist at his side. And to someone being extremely observant, they

[There will be a worried flower girl on the screen wondering why Squall looks so frustrated.]

Is something wrong?

[solidbarrels]

It's nothing.

[ A complete total lie but it's not like she could tell the difference, right? ]

Don't worry about it, Aerith.

[radiantxsmile]

[Oh, Squall. Who do you think you are speaking to?]

It didn't look like nothing to me. Unless you're used to having fits over nothing.

[Sorry, she couldn't help lightly tease him a bit.]

[solidbarrels]

[ He rolls his eyes at that but does nothing more. ]

You’d be surprise.

[ Honestly he doesn’t care. The last time he probably had a fit… was when he thought Seifer was dead. Or maybe when Rinoa was about to be sealed for the greater good. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Not when--]

action; i can type. promise.

[Have Katrine pawing at your foot, Squall. Annnnd Suzuki wondering what the malfunction is. If there even is one.]

Squall?

[solidbarrels]

[ Squall turns slowly, his head slightly bowed as he glares at Katrine but not exactly attempting to kick the dark-type away ]

Suzuki.

action;

[usedfacade]

[His ears twitch, aware that the man is a bit... off at the moment and backs off.]

Is everything alright?

[solidbarrels]

What day is it?

[ His eyes stay diverted, his shoulders stiff. ]

[used_slackoff]

[...wait.

Leon's over there, chilling out with Lightning.

...but he's also on the screen, having a fit.

What?

...Fang's just going to stare some more, because she's at a complete loss of words.]

[solidbarrels]

What do you want?

[ His tone's a bit more harsher than it should be but honestly, the SeeD doesn't give a damn. Especially when it's Cyndaquil urging him to do something else besides sulking and being angry. ]

[used_slackoff]

[And considering they're apparently not on good terms on each other, what better way to make a first impression!]

...you... got a twin?

video;

[solidbarrels]

[ Great, another person mistaking him for that guy ]

If you have to ask. Then you already know.

[lunarbonds]

Is something the matter?

video;

[solidbarrels]

What do you think?

[ He's not bothering to address the question--if it could really be called that--to his gear. The sharpness of his tone wasn't intentional, not exactly. Or maybe it is. Hard to tell when he's worked up like this. ]

[lunarbonds]

[Yeah, it looks like something's the matter alright. But Isa doesn't say that.]

Will you be alright?

Re: video;

[solidbarrels]

(No. Yes. Maybe.)

Who knows. Depends on… what happens next.

[puppet_paladin]

......Squall......

[solidbarrels]

...Cecil.

[ He's not even going to bother looking at the 'gear. ]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

A girl named Rinoa was looking for you. [A beat.] I'm taking care of Leila and the baby Riolu. Is that Kadabra...?

video;

[solidbarrels]

[ On cue, the camera pans toward the Kadabra with a rather sulking impression on its face ]

Cosmos. Yeah, it is.

[ Squall's fist tightens again, his knuckles turning white beneath the fabric of his glove before he takes a deep breath, attempting to calm himself. Suddenly he blinks. Did he hear the paladin right?]

...Rin. Rinoa. She's... She's here?
