Soldier: ...Though, I'm not sure I want you three coming through...and no Chocobos allowed! *Points at Yuffie, Tifa, and Cloud*
Yuffie: WHAT? I'm HIS SISTER!
Soldier: ...Oh, Yuffie, sorry! *lets her through*
Izzy: (XD *lost*)
Cloud: ....
Aki: (She's just mad, and I'm sleep deprived)
Izzy: (Chocobos?)
Aki: (he's just not letting Cloud and Tifa through)
Aki: (He sees Fenrir)
Izzy: (uhhh)
Cloud: ...what?
Tifa: ....behind you....
Aki: (But she's gonna hide if Cloud turns around)
Cloud: .....what?
Tifa: ....
Soldier: ...no chocobos
Cloud: ......*doesn't see any chocobos*
Soldier: ...It's tiny.
Izzy: (...he probably thinks the guy’s making a crack about his hair. XD)
Soldier: Kinda pathetic, too
Aki: (XDD)
Cloud: But I left Fenrir back at...
Fenrir: *runs and hides*
Aki: (she heard her name XD)
Izzy: (.....)
Izzy: (I think I'm sleep deprived too)
Cloud: ....
Aki: (XD)
Tifa: ....I thought I just saw her...
Soldier: Whatever. It's not like the Moombas here would even get a good meal out of her.
Soldier: go through…
Cloud: .....
Soldier: ...
Cloud: *following Tifa and the others* The last time I ever take care of someone else's baby...
Fenrir: *darts into the city and hides*
Tifa: Where to now?
Aki: (Ninja!chocobo)
Izzy: (XD)
-big palace ahead-
Aki: (Leon and the others left xD)
Izzy: (meanies XD)
Tifa: Don't tell me we're lost...where did they go...
Cloud: Probably that way. *points*
Leon: *stares at the front doors of the palace* ....
Tifa+Cloud: *finally caught up*
Leon: ....we're going around back and taking the stairs. I hate Laguna's guards.
Irvine: Yeah, you sent a few to the hospital last time.
Ester: Stairs! *runs around back*
Aarao: ...wark wark. *points*
Aki: (He's all like, 'i see a chocobo')
Izzy: (XD)
Leon: ...waitaminute! *goes after Ester*
Izzy: (of course, no one can understand him XD)
Tifa: *follows*
Cloud *hesitates and follows*
*everyone else follows*
Izzy: (yes, basically XD)
Leon: There's 89 levels to this place! Go through the door on the 20th! *calls down to them, Ester clinging to his leg*
Irvine: YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOUT.
Leon: You don't either!
Leon: Technically this isn't sneaking in cuz we're yelling, but whatever…
Tifa: .....I'm reminded of the last time we took the stairs...
Cloud: This is only 20 floors.
Irvine: HEY GUARDS. SQUALL'S HOME!
Cloud: This time, at least.
Leon: *throws something at him*
Irvine: Ow..
Irvine: *Starts up the stairs*
Cloud: *starts climbing*
Tifa: C'mon, Aarao, we wouldn't want you to fall behind.
Leon: *disappears through the 20th floor*
Aarao: *latches onto her*
Tifa: ^^; *starts up the stairs*
Cloud: *waits at the top for them*
Leon: *in the building all ready*
Tifa: ...all right, here we are.
Laguna: *walks out* ...what are you guys doing?
Leon: *pokes head out of the door, and has a 'go away and suffer' look*
Laguna: ...*pokes Cloud's chest accusingly* Were you trying to steal something here?
Cloud: ...what?
Tifa: ....
Laguna: Why are you sneaking in?
Izzy: (..."That's not Leon...")
Aki: (haha)
Izzy: (...does he normally do this? XD)
Aki: (yes XD)
Aki: (well, he sends guards to do it XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Laguna: Mr. Chocobo, would you mind explaining to me why you're sneaking into my home?
Tifa: It's not like that, we came with...
Izzy: (Cloud's just like ".....not again.")
Aki: (XDD)
Laguna: well?
Yuffie: ....Why am I always stuck on Cloud's sideee.
Laguna: Oh, hello Yuffie.
Izzy: (haha....poor Cloud and Tifa, always falling behind and getting in trouble)
Yuffie: *waves*
Izzy: (XDD EVERYONE DOES KNOW HER)
Laguna: These your friends, Yuffie?
Yuffie: .../I COULD say no...but that would be mean...choices, choices../
Cloud: .....*glaring at her*
Yuffie: ...Tifa is.
Yuffie: *runs inside*
Tifa: How is it that everyone here knows her?
Laguna: ...She...calls a lot. And sends photos on Squall's cell phone
Laguna: Walk on through missy.
Cloud: ....Leon had better stop leaving us behind, or I'll...
Tifa: *turns and gives a questioning look to Cloud*
Leon: ....I'm not leaving you behind!
Leon: ...I'm right here, waiting.
Laguna: SQUALLLLLL!
Leon: ....
Cloud: Then how is it that we always get--
Laguna: *hugs Leon*
Leon: ...........stop it.
Laguna: DDDD: Buuuut..
Leon: ...
Tifa: ...um, a relative of yours, Leon?
Leon: n--
Laguna: I'm his father!
Tifa: ....eh?
Cloud: ...
Leon: ...
Laguna: I'm his father.
Tifa: Somehow, I thought...I mean...
Izzy: ("You'd be older...")
Laguna: I get that reaction all the time~
Tifa: ....oh, dear. I'm sorry.
Laguna: It's fine. :D
Cloud: .....
Izzy: (are they still standing at the top of the stairs? XD)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (Leon's just like "wtf it's cold out up here")
Leon: Just let them in!
Laguna: ....of course! *pushes them inside and closes door*
Aki: (yep. This is Squall's father XD)
Izzy: (<3)
Izzy: (no wonder he hates him so much)
Aki: (XDD)
Aki: (he hates him mostly because he abandoned Ellone and him.)
Izzy: (aww)
Laguna: I'm assuming you'll be staying here a few days at least...I'll give you rooms.
Laguna: Okay Squallllly! You'll have to be a good buddy and share your room!
Leon: ...
Leon: Stop that.
Leon: It's Leon, to you.
Laguna: D: Leon.
Laguna: You're not a Leon.
Laguna: Simply becauuuseeee, youuuurrrr MOTHER NAMED YOU SQUALL.
Leon: ......*starts to walk off*
Cloud + Tifa: *exchange "that's his father?" looks*
Leon: ...*glances at them, giving them a 'hurry up before I break his leg' face*
Cloud: *follows*
Laguna: Raine would be so proud of you now! Having saved the world from Ultimacia and Edea! She would be proud of how much you are like her! *follows after*
Leon: ...*walks faster*
Laguna: *chases after Leon*
Leon: don't follow me!
Laguna: Where have you been?!
Leon: ......Nowhere.
Leon: *leaves to the room the others are in*
Quistis: What took you all so long?
Leon: *walks by her*
Irvine: ...*glances at Laguna* Did you just totally ruin his mood again?
Laguna: I did no such thing. *crosses arms*
Laguna: I'm lucky we're not in the middle of the banquet, though.
Laguna: You came right in, fought with Irvine, caused a scene, left and almost jumped!
Irvine: That...was not a fun night.
Leon: ...I don't remember that.
Irvine: well, basically what he just said.
Aki: (...The banquet thing was true, and fight...it was all over Squall's cellphone, actually.)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Leon: Just because I don't remember, doesn't mean I'm going to take your word for it. Someone told me not to do that. They basically told me to at least try to remember on my own. *crosses arms* Besides, you suck at telling the truth about things like this.
Laguna: .......
Laguna: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21...
Izzy: (....<3)
Aki: (XD)
Laguna: ....That was 48 words!
Laguna: ...YOU'RE NOT MY SON! WHERE HAVE YOU HIDDEN SQUALL, IMPOSTER! *points*
Aki: Leon: .......A man named Leon is hiding him somewhere far away. *raises an eyebrow*
Cloud: ........
Leon: *crosses arms*
Laguna: I'm going to kill this Leon person! Rggg!
Leon: You do that.
Laguna: *looks to Cloud* Soooooo Squall, is this your boooy--
Leon: say it and die.
Laguna: ....best buddy?
Leon: ...Yeah. *turns around and ignores*
Irvine: HEY.
Izzy: (....secretly, Laguna is a yaoi fan? XD)
Izzy: (poor Irvine XD)
Ellone: ...You've lost your position, Irv..
Irvine: *sulk*
Aki: (haha, lol Laguna)
Laguna: You you left, Squall. Good going. You left us in chaos.
Leon: ...
Leon: I didn't leave. *walks off to his room*
Cloud: .....
Aki: (he's all like, 'overload, must angst')
Izzy: (aww)
Leon: *slams the door*
Ellone: Good job, daddy.
Laguna: I didn't mea--
Ellone: He took it that way.
Laguna: I have things to do...*walks off*
Ellone: Honestly…
Ellone: *goes after Leon*
Ellone: ...
Ellone: Squall! Open the door! Right now!
Ellone: don’t say no to me!
Cloud+Tifa: *looking at each other*
Ellone: ...Come on, don't you trust me anymore? Daddy didn't mean that..!
Ellone: Okay, if you trust me still, then come out.
Ellone: ....Oh, so you don't trust me?
Ellone: Well, then come out.
Aki: (he's just like, "I trust you!" and then "I don't want to come out!")
Aki: (She really does play the trust game with him XD)
Izzy: (aww)
Aki: (<3 Ellone)
Ellone: ...Do you want Rinoa to come talk to you?
Ellone: Did I hear a 'no'? :\ You're being difficult…
Rinoa: .....*takes a step forward*
Ellone: You don't want me to send Tifa and Cloud in, do you?!
Aki: (He's just like, "that would be nice, thanks")
Izzy: (......)
Aki: (He didn't say it though, just thinking it)
Izzy: (awww)
Ellone: ...I'll be out here if you want to talk. *walks off to the table with snacks on it*
Rinoa: ....I guess I should...
Irvine: Either you, or me, little missy.
Rinoa: *sighs* And here I thought things were getting better...
Irvine: You should know best of all of us, that Squall will be Squall.
Rinoa: *nods, but still looks a little sad*
Irvine: Just get him on the dance floor. Get him outta that shell like before.
Irvine: You can do it.
Rinoa: *walks to the door and knocks*
Leon: ...What.
Rinoa: Squall....please come out.
Izzy: (she can't hypnotize him with a door between them.)
Izzy: ("You will come out, you will come out...)
Aki: (I'm just gonna start typing him as "Squall" cuz that's how I think of him XD)
Izzy: (okay XD)
Squall: ...I don't want to.
Rinoa: .....please.
Squall: ...*sighs, opens the door*
Izzy: (D: I dunno why she's not being more forceful)
Aki: (XD Cuz she's upset)
Aki: (Squall's being less adamant, too, so don't worry xD)
