[wingenvy]

sure did

it was awesome, just what I wanted

so what brand of brain garbage was dumped on you

[moseyin]

I saw a Planet dying

hold on this is too much to write, I'm calling you..

>voice

[moseyin]

[Ring ring]

[wingenvy]

[Zack's answered by the end of the 2nd ring. clearly he's glad to be off the text format.]

Did you recognize the planet?

[moseyin]

It definitely wasn't ours.

...did I tell you that I was in space back home? So yeah, not ours, for sure.

[wingenvy]

....You got to fly in an airship and go into space? What the hell, Cloud.

[WHY DID YOU GET ALL THE FUN STUFF]

[moseyin]

[probably to offset all the horrible shit he's gone thru but ya it's p cool]

The rocket was on a collision course with Meteor, so. Could've been a little less stressful.

[wingenvy]

[okay that

that is a pretty shitty tradeoff, yeah]

Okay, okay. So, planet dying. Dying from what? Did you see that part?

[moseyin]

Not really. I got that it was...sick? There wasn't anything like mako reactors that I could see, but it's also like it was calling me there.

Super creepy.

[wingenvy]

Like literally calling, or just a feeling? And did you hear any voices?

[moseyin]

Not really voices, just...a feeling of being called. I didn't like it, it...

[God he hates talking about this] It reminded me of the Reunion. With Sephirorh...calling his pawns to him.

[wingenvy]

...Sorry, man.

[He can't exactly understand how that feels - he's never heard Jenova's voice, or been affected by the cells in any way but physical, but he's seen what they do to people. And it always sucks when someone you care about is having a shit time.]

I heard it, too. Or felt it, I guess. Someone was screaming and crying, but it was more like a warning than a call. To run away, or to help- or both.

[moseyin]

[well then moving on from that since nobody here wants to discuss it anyway] I think we must've had different ones, mine was definitely a call.

What happened in yours?

[wingenvy]

Um.

[well, there's no way to put this nicely, so.]

In a word? Nibelheim.

[wingenvy]

[And then it occurs to him that a LOT happened in Nibelheim so that's way too vague and ugh, ugh-]

I mean- after Sephiroth- you know.

Fire, and... yeah.

[moseyin]

[Yeah don't worry dude, there's really only one thing people can mean when they say "Nibelheim" in that tone.]

...I don't like this. These visions- they're so specific. It's practically like they were tailored for us.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, it's creepy. And if they're supposed to be important, are they trying to tell us about something that did happen, or warn us about what's going to happen?

[Like it could all be pointless drama made to freak them out but that seems way too optimistic (and dismissive) an explanation.]

[moseyin]

Some kid on the network seems to think these things are all related to everything else we've been going through. Well- not that either of us know much about those. [The only thing Cloud's really experienced was calibrations and as unpleasant as it was, he doesn't necessarily think it was related.]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I'm useless for that kinda stuff. It's been like a month and I barely know the names of all the ships.

[He's not exactly known for his fine analytical intellect. That ain't why anybody kept him around, and he's fine with that. It's enough to not be stupid.]

The way it usually goes is this: whether we figure it out first or not, sooner or later whoever sent this to us is gonna show their hand. So we'd better prepare for the worst.

[moseyin]

Mm. [Cloud hasn't been the best at it either, though he tries to put the pieces together whenever he can. He does much better providing the stubbornness and the muscle than the brains, though.] ...I have enough scrap to make one bigger sword, or two smaller ones. I think considering the circumstances, the second option is the best one.

We should also see what we can do about getting Aerith a staff.

[wingenvy]

If the situation was different I'd tell you not to worry about me, but... yeah, agreed. Two swords.

[Actually, about that.]

Is Aerith, um... how is she, in a fight? She never used to do that back then, so it's hard to imagine, but I don't want to crowd her or act like I don't think she can do it...

[moseyin]

She's strong. [In a fair fight.] She's a lot better with materia, so if you've got any spells you should pass them over to her. I heard that people can just find stuff from home sometimes so here's hoping we find like, Comet or a Bahamut summon or something.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, that'd be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. Until then, she can have mine.

[Much as it fusses him to let them go, she's one of two people here he'd actually trust with them, and he's not about to let her go unarmed when he can help it.]

[moseyin]

I'll talk to my guy about weapons. She's also got her healing and sealing techniques too...but I think if she catches us talking about her like she needs to be protected, she'll give us both a good dressing down.

[wingenvy]

Why do you think I asked you about her fighting strength and not her?

[he doesn't want to get a lecture!!]
