[Voice / Action]

[This has been a hell of a month for departures and bad news, apparently. Zack hates to add to the misery, but it's gotta be done.]

...Aerith Gainsborough's gone home. She didn't leave anything, but... if you were friends, you know how she felt.

Good Spirits is self-serve tonight. Sorry, guys.

[And Zack will be at Good Spirits for most of the day after that, serving himself. Despite the melancholy of his announcement, his mood will be switching between quiet and downright celebratory all night long. Coping, who's coping?

He also has company: a strange-looking winged dog, standing guard quietly at his back the entire time he's there.]

[Zack's not far off, working his way through a bottle of vodka. Damn SOLDIER metabolism- he should've been drunk two hours ago.]

Yeah, I'm okay. She'd probably chew me out if I wasn't, anyway.

[Might as well help himself to a bottle of wine then.]

I take it the two of you were close then?

You could say that. She was my first girlfriend.

[It feels weird to call her his ex, even if it's technically true. They didn't have a normal break-up by any means.]

Then you're gonna need a stronger drink than that! First loves are the ones ya never get over, even if it's just being sent home from this place!

Hey, that was like five years ago. Right now I'm just missing a friend.

[Five years is half as long as his love story. He can't help but feel even older when he hears Zack say that.]

I do hope ya mean that in homeworld time and not Luceti time...

Haha, yeah, back home. I've only been here for like a year and a half.

[But thats how long Raven has been here, you creeper.]

Really? I thought you'd been here fer a lot longer than that!

Nope, not me- I showed up two Novembers ago. I was here before, though, or so I've been told. I just don't remember it.

Two Novembers ago? [Give him a moment to make a mental calculation in his head, he hasn't paid much attention to this world's calendar.] Oh geez, now I feel really old all of a sudden.

What about this Aerith girl? Was she here before you arrived?

Actually, we got here around the same time. Within a couple of weeks, if I'm remembering it right.

[He takes another drink from his bottle, he intends to finish it. He does find what Zack said to be quite interesting though.]

Funny how they can bring people to this world around the same time, but then fail ta send them back together too.

Yeah, I've never really gotten that. Since I arrived Cloud's been sent home and back, then home again, but here I am without being moved at all. It's weird.

Maybe the Malnosso just happen ta like you~ We already know well enough what Bil's tastes are like...

...Gross. You think he'd be nicer if I dyed my hair blond?

Haha, ya could try it I guess? See how that works fer ya! Personally I'd just avoid him at all costs instead, not the kinda person ya wanna end up associated with.

Haha, I dunno if I'm that desperate yet. To tell the truth, I don't have that much to complain about around here.
