[thunderedge]

Cloud: ....*looks up*
Grrface: RAGOONAAAA
Cloud: I'm REALLY glad this isn't my problem anymore.
Leon: Get OFF of me, Grrface!
Grrface: RAGOONA!
Leon: I'm not Laguna!
Cloud: *rummaging around in drawers until he finds Aerith's sewing supplies*
Cloud: Ah. *pulls out a piece of dark blue fabric (the darkest thing he could find)*
Leon: Go back to Balamb and stay there! If you want to be with Laguna so much, just go to the fucking palace he lives at!
Grrface: RAGOONA
Leon: It's LEON, DAMMIT.
Grrface: Rall?
Grrface: nt Rall?
Grrface: Reon Reonhrrt nw?
Leon: YES now go AWAY
Aki: (it's confusing me too XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Grrface: Rvine rerried!
Leon: I don't care if Irvine's worried!
Cloud: *tucks it into the sword holder on his back to make a little pocket*
Cloud: *to Fenrir* There, happy?
Cloud: I can't walk with you clinging to my leg.
Fenrir: *blinks* wark
Fenrir: *used her beak and legs to climb up his clothes into the pocket* (she's a national climber. XD)
Izzy: XD
Cloud: .....
Cloud: Well, at least it works.
Fenrir: wark wark warkkk~ *chocobo singing*
Cloud: *heads toward the bottom of the stairs to see what the yelling is about*
Grrface: *comes tumbling down and rolls into Cloud's leg*
Aki: (rolling down the stairs XD)
Grrface: ...
Cloud: .....
Grrface: nt Ragoona..?
Grrface: Rall chnged...
Grrface: Grrface saaddd..
Grrface: *upset*
Cloud: .......
Grrface: *finds paper and hops up on the kitchen table*
Grrface: *picks up the pen in his left paw and starts writing*
Grrface: *writes down "He's worse than way-back-when! It's SUCKS"* *holds it up for Cloud*
Cloud: Who, Squall? You mean he was better?
Grrface: *"Well, he never had anger issues, or weird emotional problems before!"*
Grrface: *"Well, that's a lie. But, not to this extent"*
Cloud: .......
Grrface: *"sure there was more than the occasional attempt of suicide and everything, but...CRYING INTO A PILLOW?"*
Cloud: ....He's working through some things, for once.
Cloud: ...on his own, this time.
Grrface: *"Everyone back home would think someone abducted him and took his place!"*
Cloud: I hope.
Grrface: *frowns*
Grrface: *"I know he hates me, but jeez, he didn't have to throw me down the stairs!"*
Cloud: He threw you down the...
Cloud: ..........
Grrface: *"...aw hell, I'd hate to see what he'd do to Laguna (daddy-dearest)...OR HIS FRIENDS. THEY'D GET IT WORST"*
Cloud: I don't think he would.
Grrface: ....
Grrface: What mks you so sure?
Cloud: .....just a feeling.
Grrface: *"YES! ALMOST NEAR PERFECT SENTANCE. Squall never taught me to talk DX"*
Cloud: *puts a hand to his head* I think I'm getting worse...huh?
Cloud: well that would explain it.
Grrface: Mmhm.
Grrface: Riva isn't thr..
Cloud: ....no, that's why....
Cloud: That's what I meant by "on his own".
Grrface: He needs hrrrrrr
Cloud: Probably why he lost it. I don't think he's nearly used to it yet.
Grrface: How long he arone?
Grrface: Rinoa not be happy...
Grrface: 'r Rrvine, 'r Zerr...
Cloud: Not too long.
Cloud: Who?
Grrface: *"Squall's friends, Rinoa, Zell, and Irvine"*
Cloud: Oh.
Cloud: His...friends.
Grrface: *"actually, Rinoa's more like a girlfriend."*
Cloud: .....
Cloud: I see.
Cloud: I wonder why he never talks about them...
Grrface: *"He doesn't?"*
Cloud: *more to himself than to anyone else* is it that painful?
Cloud: Huh? No. He's never said a word.
Cloud: Not to me at least.
Grrface: *" He's not that trusting. It took Irvine and the others FOREVER to get him to open up. Now he's back to like before he met them all."*
Grrface: *"His dad is probably really upset, not knowing where he is, also..."*
Grrface: Oh ROOK! Cake! *hops off the table headed for the cake*
Cloud: .......
Grrface: .........wnt some? :D
Cloud: I'm fine.
Grrface: k..
Grrface: Mayyybe Ragoona..
Cloud: *mostly to himself* he never said anything about a girlfriend...
Grrface: *tilts head* Grrfrnd?
Grrface: R'noa?
Grrface: R'noa's Ragoona's grrfrnd. :3
Grrface: go ask Ragoona. Mebbe he let you see hr?
Cloud: Why do you call him that?
Grrface: mrbakkaji?
Grrface: Ragoona is Ragoona.
Izzy: (haha WHAT? XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Aki: (err, Grrface didn't understand the question, so he repeated himself XD)
Izzy: (XD)
Izzy: (I love his nonsense words <3)
Aki: (me too XD)
Izzy: (Wait, is he actually talking about _Laguna_ as in Squall's dad, or is he mixing them up again?)
Aki: (mixing them up xD)
Izzy: (okay)
Cloud: ...but his name's Squall.
Cloud: ..or Leon, depending on whether it's to his face or not.
Grrface: Reon, Squarr, Ragoona. Ar the sme.
Cloud: ...forget I asked.
Grrface: ...RAGOONA!!
Leon: SHUT UP
Leon: *walking down the stairs*
Cloud: I guess this isn't a happy reunion...
Grrface: ....ragoooooona..--
Grrface: Tyrennor...Ragoona Smerr Tyrennor...
Leon: .....................It's called medicine for headaches, fuzzball.
Grrface: .....mukerbjj..
Leon: *grumbles*
Leon: I wish Nanaki was here to translate...
Grrface: NANAKIIIII!
Leon: .............
Izzy: (What, now I've gotta do Nanaki too? XD)
Aki: (if you want XD)
Izzy: (hah maybe a little later)
Aki: (Grrface's own 'tribe' idolizes Nanaki...somehow XD)
Izzy: (he's great though, because he's can be rude while still sounding polite)
Izzy: (like, he speaks really formally)
Izzy: (but he's very...blunt. XD)
Aki: (haha XD)
Grrface: Nanakiiii!!1
Izzy: (it's pretty funny)
Leon: ......Cloud, dispose of this thing before I do it myself.
Cloud: ...seems like he came pretty far to see you.
Leon: ....Whatever.
Grrface: Ragoooooona :D
Leon: .....that's it. You're going outside. *picks him up by the scruff of his neck and takes him outside and locks the door*
Grrface: CRRRROUUUDDDDD
Cloud: Don't look at me.
Grrface: .....brondie. >:E Brondie be sorry...
Leon: Yes, the blondie will be sorry, now out you go, and out you'll stay.
Leon: *throws him out, and closes door*
Grrface: Squarr!! *bangs at door*
Izzy: (aww XD)
Grrface: ............... ..............It's CORD!
Izzy: what?
Leon: G'night Cloud. Gonna take some more Tylenol and got to bed. *walks off*
Aki: (Grrface is cold XD)
Cloud: ....night....*tired*
Izzy: (OH XD)
Aki: ...wth Leon's like...practically tranquilized by Tylenol
Izzy: geez
Izzy: make sure he doesn't overdose
Aki: that's why he's like, "I don’t care that my house is in shreds because of my childhood pet who should be dead because I tried so hard to drown him so many times"
Izzy: oh man XD
Aki: XD
Leon: I'm not THAT stupid, Izzy.
Leon: ...what was that?
Izzy: See, you do know me.
Leon: Okay, your name is Izzy. You're the one who started this whole 'mess' with a cosplay photo of an Envy!Riku and Sora cosplay.
Leon: got it.
Izzy: Good.
Izzy: Wait.
Izzy: What?
Leon: ....
Izzy: Don't tell me you were teasing me all along.
Leon: I wasn't.
Leon: I got the memory back...
Leon: somehow...
Leon: ....waitaminute.
Izzy: hmmm
Leon: IRVINE was the one who stole my other necklace?!
Leon: .....He'ssodead.
Grrface: He remember?
Leon: How'd you get in?
Grrface: *points to the hole in the door*
Leon: You made a hole in my door?
Grrface: mhmm.
Leon: ....You're lucky you're not my father!
Izzy: ahahaha
Leon: I'm giving up on trying to kill you.
Grrface: :]
Leon: ....Why did Tifa give Sephiroth Pantene of all shampoos?
Cloud: You're asking me?
Cloud: ............
Cloud: ..........*looks embarrased*
Leon: ........that was more of trying to point out that...I remember something I was supposed to have forgotten...
Izzy: (haha, good, because the question would have inevitably become "how did Tifa know it was Seph's weakness" XD)
Leon: ...And you had a ponytail, but of course I'd never forget.
Aki: (haha)
Izzy: (pffttt...and Cloud doesn't really want anyone to know. XD)
Aki: (oh jeez XD)
Izzy: (Let's just say, when you travel with someone you learn about their little...idiosyncrasies XD)
Aki: (haha yeah XD)
Izzy: (oh man...and I can imagine that, too)
Izzy: (Zack would have a good laugh about it)
Aki: (haha)
Izzy: (He probably roped Cloud into playing pranks on Sephy or something...)
Izzy: (I give up)
Izzy: (I'm calling him by his fan name, because I'm sick of typing out "Sephiroth" all the time)
Aki: (same)
Aki: (Sora: Sephy...)
Izzy: (stealing his shampoo...)
Leon: ...wth.
Leon: .......
Leon: ......................
Leon: *stares at Cloud blankly*
Leon: ...why are you in my house.
Cloud: What?
Cloud: You're asking me this now?
Leon: ...I know you?
Leon: you LIVE here?
Cloud: Wait a minute.
Leon: ...my head hurts…
Cloud: You'd better not be trying to be funny again.
Leon: *grumbles* Again?
Leon: What the hell are you talking about..
Cloud: ..............
Cloud: you joked about forgetting Sora....
Leon: ...I did?
Leon: Oh yeah.
Cloud: *grumbles* really had me going, too.
Leon: ....
Leon: ...no, honestly, what's your name. We fight together. That's I'll I know...
Cloud: Don't play dumb, Leon, it's not funny.
Cloud: Not after everything I said.
Leon: I'm not trying to be funny!
Leon: I don't know your name! I only have vague flashes of you!
Leon: they're all random!
Cloud: *looks down at his hands* Dammit...no...
Cloud: Thanks anyway, Aerith....
Leon: I know you're important to me...I can just tell...
Leon: Just say your name for me, please...or just...give me a hint?
Izzy: (fuck, you're gonna make me cry XD)
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (I think it's because I'm tired)
Izzy: (but if I cry, Cloud cries...)
Aki: (haha maybe)
Aki: (aw)
Izzy: (and we don't want him to break down...)
Izzy: (but this was just what he was talking to Aerith about)
Izzy: (it actually scares him)
Izzy: (so he's kind of...in denial)
Leon: "...I won't let you take them all on, Cloud, you're not able to fight this many on your own.." *going through snippets of memories to try an figure it out*
Leon: ......Okay, Cloud.
Cloud: *starts breathing again*
Izzy: (*smacks him* You better not have lost some brain cells there!)
Aki: (haha XDD)
Izzy: (Cloud: Shut up!)
Leon: ...Clouddddd...Cloud Stri..fe.
Cloud: ...y-yeah.
Leon: yep.
Leon: .......Maybe I can sleep it off...this happens when my head hurts too much..
Leon: forgotten memories come back, and others leave...and then when it stops hurting, it goes back to normal.
Cloud: What do you mean...normal?
Leon: the original forgotten memories are forgotten again, and the others come back.
Cloud: .......
Leon: I have the memory of Tifa giving Sephiroth, Pantene...I forgot that one before right?
Cloud: At least, you said so.
Leon: And while that one was forgotten, I knew you---I don't joke.
Leon: those are VERY rare moments.
Cloud: I'm...sorry.
Leon: ...You shouldn't be.
Cloud: No, I almost lost...never mind.
Leon: what?
Cloud: Let's just say I have some....
Cloud: *mentally reprimands himself for not being straightforward enough*
Cloud: I.....I don't like being...helpless.
Leon: No one does, Cloud, it's human nature.
Cloud: *crosses arms* It's just that if I think I'm useless, I become useless. I haven't...learned how to get over that yet.
Leon: *smiles slightly* Nor have I.
Cloud: .......we've both...got a lot to learn...huh.
Leon: I suppose so.
Cloud: Even now. *more to himself than to Leon*
Leon: I'll take your offer up on being the one to stop me, and in return I'm here for you.
Leon: whenever you need something.
Cloud: *looks up* If you'll let me. Stop you, that is.
Leon: .........Uh, I can really try. It gets difficult for me sometimes.
Leon: ....okay, there’s a gap in that fight with Sephiroth now.
Leon: what's supposed to go there?
Cloud: Where?
Leon: ......Well, I remember you, but I forget that fight...
Cloud: All of it?
Leon: no, the part with Tifa and...what was it?
Cloud: ........shampoo.
Leon: sounds like it.
Leon: But, thanks Cloud.
Cloud: for what?
Leon: ......Don't tell me YOU forgot.
Leon: For letting me lean on you when I need to.
Cloud: Of course I don't--
Cloud: Don't...it's nothing.
Cloud: Maybe we should both get some sleep.
Leon: I was just about to say the same thing.
Cloud: ....*nods*
Izzy: (*hinthint* XD)
Leon: ...it must be what Izzy calls "the final fantasy hero telepathy.."
Aki: (I know XD)
Izzy: oh, shush


Izzy: (okay, that failed)
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (It's "Reon", not "Rion")
Aki: (huh?)
Izzy: (I wrote the katakana for Leon's name wrong)
Izzy: (I guess because we've been pronouncing it the American way)
Aki: (yeah )
Izzy: (But in Japanese it's "Ray-on")
Aki: (I know :3)
Izzy: (ah well, it’ s just a one character difference, no big)
Leon: ................
Yuffie: ...?
Izzy: (What I mean, is, I can fix it easily!)
Leon: I'm not worried about that...
Leon: ...I just got word from Quistis, through Grrface...
Leon: notlikeitmatters *sigh*
Leon: *leaves to go back to bed*
Yuffie: .................
Yuffie: You've slept for 23 hours straight, Squall!
Leon: Let's make it 48. *walks off*
Yuffie: ...............
Yuffie: What is Cloud allergic to?!
Leon: Oranges...I'm leaving, good bye.
Yuffie: DDD: *doesn't want him to sleep anymore*
Leon: *gone~*
