[Okay, so. He'd been en route to Midgar with Cloud. With a motorcycle, it had been awesome. And they'd been making good progress! Sure, he wasn't all that certain about directions, but being underground for so long can screw with a guy a little. There's no helping it. He'd been in a pretty good mood, though.

So if things had been going well for the first time in ages, why did he wake up this morning and find himself in the woods, alone and unarmed, in a fresh pair of white pants that didn't belong to him? It meant he hadn't been captured, since he wasn't in the lab, so... what? Seriously, what?

More importantly, where is Cloud!?

There's a sense of panic he hasn't felt since the troopers in Nibelheim had first started dragging Cloud away from him, so he wastes no time getting up and heading off to get a look around. If the military isn't responsible for this, maybe Cloud just wandered off (somehow) after whoever it was had taken Zack out. Man, so much for life getting easier...

tl;dr Zack will be ducking around the village early-ish in the morning, trying to make the most of the late November sunrise by doing his best ninja impression. He's trying not to be seen, but how effective he is at doing so? Really depends. SOLDIERs are sadly not ninjas.]

[She shrugs her shoulders.]

Unfortunately, it does.

[wingenvy]

Man... now I really don't have time to waste. Hey, have you seen a guy that have eyes kind of like mine? Spiky blond hair, real quiet, probably not moving around too well?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie gives Zacks' eyes a good inspection and they're glowing? Is that something the Malnosso did?]

I think I know who you mean. Tell me more about him?

[wingenvy]

[Nope, it's all him bb.]

Uh... well, he's not really talking right now, so his appearance is all I can give... he's probably dressed in some kind of navy blue outfit.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Some kind of navy blue outfit isn't very specific. What else?

[wingenvy]

A belt? He's got this belt... [Zack grabs a stick and draws the SOLDIER emblem in the dirt.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie frowns thoughtfully at the emblem in the dirt before shaking her head.]

I'm sorry, I've never seen that logo before. Maybe if you told me his name?

[wingenvy]

[Hrm. He's probably given away enough at this point to take a risk, much as he doesn't want to. He can take her if necessary 8|]

It's Cloud.

[Selphie's eyes widen before she beams at Zack. Boy is he in for a surprise.]

He's somewhere inside the barrier and he's talking just fine. You should try contacting him over the journal sometime because you seem really worried about him.

[wingenvy]

What, really!? That's great! I have to find him right away! [How could he be talking!? Did they sure his mako poisoning? omg omg omg.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

He didn't tell me where he was though, that's the only thing. The best way to get ahold of him would be to use a journal.

[wingenvy]

Journal? How would that be helpful?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's how we communicate with the others in the village, silly! I know, I know, it sounds really, really bizarre but that's just how things work around here.

[wingenvy]

Bizarre is putting it pretty lightly, I think. Books can't talk to each other.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

These ones can.

[wingenvy]

[Whaaaaaat.] You're not pulling my leg?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Definitely not pulling your leg.

[wingenvy]

...Is there anything about this place that isn't potentially gonna freak me out?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

The wings didn't freak you out already?

[wingenvy]

...Trying not to think about it. [Hrrrrrngh. Freaky place is freaky.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's hard at first but it does get better. Besides, there's all kinds of interesting people here!
