Cloud Strife wakes up... somewhat dazed.... And looks around

Cloud Strife says, "This isn't where I went to sleep... I wasn't tied up either...."

Reno eyes him

Cloud Strife Wiggles

Reno says, "well, you are now"

Cloud Strife looks at Reno calmly

Cloud Strife says, "You're a dead man...."

Reno says, "am I?"

Cloud Strife nods matter of factly

Reno says, "Really? And why is that?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth is gonna gut you..."

Reno nods slowly

Reno says, "like he did my boss?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah"

Reno folds his arms

Cloud Strife says, "But I am sure since I am concerned.... "

Reno shakes his head and looks away

Cloud Strife says, "You should just untie me and let me go... if you want to live"

Reno fishes in his pocket

Reno says, "sorry, can't let you go. I have my orders"

Cloud Strife says, "Stupid.... Following your orders to your death... must take either idiocy or supreme loyalty"

Reno looks back at him

Reno says, "I'm a Turk, we don't die for our jobs"

Reno lights up the cigarette he took from his pocket and sticks it in his mouth

Cloud Strife says, "Do you mind not polluting my airspace? No wonder Sephiroth is gonna destroy you all..."

Reno says, "oh?"

Cloud Strife says, "Humph"

Reno takes the cig out of his mouth and holds it between his fingers. Let's the ashes hit the floor

Cloud Strife glares silently at Reno

Reno sticks the cig back in his mouth, watching Cloud. Looks around, a look of wonderment on his face

Reno says, "where are they? *To himself*"

Cloud Strife wriggles against his bonds... grumbling

Reno looks back at Cloud. Blows smoke accidentally in his direction

Reno says, "don't bother struggling kid..."

Cloud Strife coughs a little

Cloud Strife says, "I was a kid 5 years ago..."

Reno looks around again

Reno says, "*to himself* they should be here...."

Cloud Strife says, "You're boring...."

Reno says, "really? Well, I'm not meant to be here to entertain you kid"

Cloud Strife wiggles again

Cloud Strife says, "This is a little tight...."

Reno says, "so?"

Reno blows more smoke in his direction, crossing his arms

Cloud Strife says, "Quit that damn it!"

Reno says, "quit what?"

Cloud Strife says, "Blowing smoke at me!"

Reno gives him a smug look

Cloud Strife growls

Cloud Strife says, "I kicked your ass once you know...."

Reno says, "heh heh. I know, but that's when you had help"

Cloud Strife says, "I could still do it"

Reno says, "besides, what could you do now?"

Cloud Strife glares defiantly

Reno says, "you're tied up"

Reno chuckles, blowing smoke out his nose

Cloud Strife says, "If I wasn't tied up I would ram that cigarette someplace uncomfortable!"

Reno grins again

Reno says, "I bet you would kid"

Cloud Strife says, "*sarcastically* Cept you would probably enjoy it..."

Reno says, "what gave you that idea kid?"

Cloud Strife looks mildly shocked

Reno sticks his tongue, with the cig on it, out at Cloud

Cloud Strife wiggles again....

Cloud Strife says, "Grrr, If I Get outta here I'm gonna bite your knee caps off!"

Reno laughs, and draws it back to his lips

Reno says, "Doubtful kid"

Reno finishes the cig and crushes the butt under his boot

Cloud Strife says, "Well I know Sephiroth is gonna hurt you good..."

Reno says, "what's he gonna do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Turn you into beef Jerky"

Reno says, "hmmm"

Reno scratches his head

Reno says, "and how could he do that?"

Cloud Strife says, "You've seen his masamune right? Remember Tseng? Slicey Slicey?"

Reno says, "Tseng only got sliced once, and he crawled off to die. Sephiroth didn't bother with him after that"

Cloud Strife says, "Well you're gonna get it... much worse"

Reno says, "just cause I nabbed you?"

Cloud Strife says, "When he finally decides to show up"

Reno looks around again

Reno says, "Where are those two?"

Reno looks back at Cloud

Reno says, "like he could find us...."

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife o O (Shit... I'm alone in a room.... Hope he hasn't head that quote...)

Reno starts to pace back and forth, bored

Cloud Strife sits there blinking.... Wondering what they are going to do with him anyway

Reno stops passing, looking a tad upset

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Maybe sephiroth got em"

Reno says, "damn it, I bet Elena and Rude ditched me..."

Reno looks at Cloud and blinks a few times

Cloud Strife hums Rufus' March theme boredly

Reno says, "Sephiroth? Naw, he couldn't have found us"

Cloud Strife says, "what makes you so sure?"

Reno says, "cause ... uh ... he just couldn't of!"

Cloud Strife chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "Sure"

Reno looks at Cloud, his eyebrows raising

Cloud Strife says, "Sooo... which of you guys did Rufus sleep with?"

Reno says, "..."

Reno was drunk, didn't remember

Cloud Strife says, "He said he'd been with a Turk... but never a soldier before me. Tseng? Baldy? YOU?"

Reno scratches the back of his head. Backs up a little

Reno says, "get out of town kid"

Cloud Strife says, "I would like to... but Im sorta TIED UP!"

Cloud Strife begins to pick on Reno

Cloud Strife says, "Really Reno I didn't think you were the type to swing that way..."

Reno glares at Cloud

Reno says, "get lost kid, none of us Turks are like you"

Cloud Strife says, "Like me? What's that supposed to mean?"

Reno says, "you know. You and Sephiroth and shit...."

Cloud Strife says, "Oh.... Like me.... I'm a stereotypical Bisexual"

Reno folds his arms again, looking a little tense

Cloud Strife grins

Reno says, "yeah, what ever kid"

Cloud Strife laughs

Reno says, "what the hell is with that any way?"

Cloud Strife says, "Look at how Tense you just got... freezing like a deer in front of headlights"

Reno says, "am not, I'm a Turk, I'm cool"

Reno is tense...

Cloud Strife has the trained eyes of a Solider and can see past Reno's phasade

Cloud Strife says, "And what the hell is with what?"

Reno says, "you know..."

Cloud Strife says, "Clarify"

Reno says, "you... Sephiroth ... that shit"

Cloud Strife says, "Me and Sephiroth? We love each other"

Reno says, "um ... yeah.... Uh..."

Cloud Strife says, "You seem as homophobic as Zack was...."

Reno scratches his head again

Reno says, "I do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... Zack tried to kill me over it... Well I did throw the first punch"

Reno says, "why'd he do that?"

Cloud Strife says, "I winked at him.... He accused me of sleeping my way to my Rank.... "

Reno says, "sounds like you did"

Cloud Strife says, "Hardly. Sephiroth trained me... and I worked my ass off to get where I was"

Reno says, "hmm"

Reno closes his eyes

Cloud Strife says, "He's a wonderful man...."

Reno says, "yeah right, he wants to kill everyone ... "

Cloud Strife says, "Just wish he didn't want to destroy everything..."

Cloud Strife sighs. Slumps in the chair as best he can....

Cloud Strife says, "Sometimes... I agree with him.... And sometimes... I just cant think of what its gonna be like... without people...Tifa.... Aeris. They're gonna be gone"

Reno says, "yeah. Everyone will die. How sure are you that you'll live?"

Cloud Strife says, "He says I will be safe... I trust him...."

Reno says, "ah"

Reno sighs

Cloud Strife has an edge of doubt in his voice

Reno says, "Trust a psychopath...."

Reno chuckles

Reno says, "now that's funny"

Cloud Strife says, "He's not...."

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "He scares me..."

Reno looks at Cloud

Reno says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah... I love him... but he scares me sometimes.... I really don't want him to kill everyone... I'm just as guilty as the rest of you..."

Reno says, "interesting"

Cloud Strife sighs and hangs his head

Cloud Strife says, "I don't know what to do... I can't go against him"

Reno sighs

Cloud Strife grimaces cuz he can no longer feel his arms

Cloud Strife says, "If everyone else dies I want to go with them... I don't want to be alone with their death's on my conscience"

Reno says, "alone?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth is gonna be a god.... Im afraid he isn't going to be the same. He says he will... that nothing will change... but...."

Reno says, "god...*chuckles* and you say he's not a psychopath?"

Cloud Strife says, "I love him...."

Cloud Strife hangs his head and closes his eyes

Reno walks over to Cloud

Reno says, "hmm"

Reno looks around

Reno says, "there ain't no where you can go... And, we were only supposed to make sure we get you away from him"

Reno unties Cloud

Cloud Strife rubs his wrists trying to get feeling back into his hands

Cloud Strife says, "Why did you have to get me away from him?"

Reno says, "orders"

Cloud Strife says, "How long was I out? Im kinda stiff...."

Reno says, "a while kid"

Cloud Strife stands up... using the chair for support

Cloud Strife says, "Aii... pins and needles!"

Reno watches Cloud

Cloud Strife wobbles around a bit until his legs are working again... then leans against a wall

Reno says, "now, what are you gonna do kid?"

Cloud Strife sighs, sits down again...leaning against the wall

Cloud Strife says, "He is a psychopath..."

Reno says, "yeah, it's obvious"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm in love with a psychopath... but we are meant to be...."

Reno leans on a wall, listing to Cloud

Reno says, "I suppose so kid... I've heard shit like that"

Cloud Strife says, "I just want him to be what he was before that day in Nibelheim"

Reno says, "You meet someone in your life and everything changes ... course, I've never met anyone like that"

Cloud Strife says, "He's wonderful.... Or was... He took me under his wing.... Helped me gain 3rd class... loved me... nobody had ever done anything like that for me before...."

Reno says, "hmm, no one has ever done anything like that for me"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "I wish I could convince him.... But I promised to follow him to the ends of the earth... and I'm a man of my words"

Reno says, "well, I guess that makes you honorable kid. No wonder you ain't a Turk"

Cloud Strife says, "Why would I have been anyway..."

Reno shrugs

Reno says, "you were in SOLDIER"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... What's a Turk equivalent to in the ranks?"

Reno says, "well, me, Elena, and Rude are 1st ... that's why we are called Turks. Then there is a bunch of Turks-in-training. Elena was up until a few weeks ago"

Cloud Strife says, "TIT's... *giggles*"

Reno chuckles

Reno says, "yeah!"

Cloud Strife says, "how come Elena wasn't demoted once you got back on duty?"

Reno says, "We don't demote. Besides, well, Rude and I both like her so we'd never have let anyone demote her once she got this promotion"

Cloud Strife says, "Ahh.... So you probably weren't Rufus' buddy"

Reno says, "huh?"

Cloud Strife grins evilly

Reno says, "What the hell you talking about?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nevermind"

Reno says, "We all knew Rufus ... Some times his old man had us keep an eye on him"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus told me he slept with one of you guys...."

Reno says, "other times he just hang out with us for no reason"

Cloud Strife says, "Or at least hinted at it... "

Reno says, "Well, I have no idea...."

Reno leans on the wall, looking uncomfortable to Cloud's trained eyes

Cloud Strife says, "Why do you look so uncomfortable?"

Reno says, "uh, I'm not...."

Reno swipes his stray bang away

Cloud Strife says, "Yes you are..."

Reno says, "um...."

Reno bites his lip

Cloud Strife grins wolfishly

Reno looks back at Cloud

Reno says, "what's that grin for?"

Cloud Strife says, "You're all tense... as if this branch of conversation bothers you"

Reno says, "well ... um ... no, I'm cool"

Cloud Strife says, "You're starting to Stutter Reno..."

Reno tries to use the wall to straiten himself out

Cloud Strife says, "Why do you do that Reno? My eyes don't miss much"

Reno bites his lip some more

Cloud Strife says, "Look at you... You seem embarrassed"

Reno says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah. I'm surprised your not bright red"

Reno looks around again

Reno says, "um...."

Reno turns the same shade as his hair

Cloud Strife says, "There you go. You're cute when you blush...."

Reno blinks

Reno says, "um, thanks"

Cloud Strife says, "Now why are you blushing?"

Reno says, "I... I ... don't know"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Heh..."

Reno says, "What is it?"

Cloud Strife says, "Could you have been the one that Rufus was talking about?"

Reno says, "what do you mean?"

Reno is trying to play 'I'm innocent'

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... You ever go drinking with him?"

Reno says, "yeah, allot.... I love to drink"

Cloud Strife says, "Ever wake up sore. Or anything after that?"

Reno crosses his arms

Reno says, "yeah, I fight allot"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm thinking of another kind of Sore..."

Reno says, "hmm?"

Cloud Strife smirks

Reno says, "What you talking about?"

Cloud Strife says, "Got a deck of cards?"

Reno blinks

Reno says, "I got cigarettes"

Cloud Strife sighs then chuckles at his own private joke

Reno sighs

Cloud Strife says, "I never smoked... Seph wouldn't let me"

Reno says, "does he let you do anything?"

Cloud Strife says, "not really..."

Reno smirks

Cloud Strife says, "Wasn't allowed to drink either..."

Reno says, "awww, poor kid"

Cloud Strife says, "Trained half the day.... Ate a wholesome meal... trained the rest of the day... took a shower and off to bed... at least that's what it was like back then"

Reno says, "that it?"

Cloud Strife says, "Occasionally on one of my days off we would do something interesting...."

Reno says, "like?"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Cloud Strife says, "He was into classic literature and stuff... we went to see plays"

Reno says, "Woah, weird"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Cloud Strife says, "I didn't need much more than that... he kept me busy"

Reno says, "I drink, hang with my buddies, fight, smoke ... sleep with chicks"

Cloud Strife says, "and men... "

Cloud Strife snickers

Reno says, "what?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nothing"

Reno gives him a look

Reno says, "I don't do that kid"

Cloud Strife says, "I have a theory Reno..."

Reno says, "Theory?"

Cloud Strife says, "He got you"

Reno says, "huh?"

Cloud Strife says, "You were drunk and he got you"

Reno says, "Who?"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus"

Reno raises an eyebrow

Cloud Strife says, "He hung around you enough.... And you get very uncomfortable looking when I talk about it"

Reno says, "oh, you be quiet "

Cloud Strife says, "Look at how defensive you're getting!"

Reno points his finger at Cloud

Reno says, "shut up"

Cloud Strife laughs

Cloud Strife says, "Deniaaaaaal!"

Reno crosses his arms. Leans against the wall

Cloud Strife stretches out on his side... still laughing to himself

Reno shakes his head. Blinks

Cloud Strife says, "heh heh heh.... Denial..."

Reno says, "Where the hell are Elena and Rude? Denial?"

Cloud Strife snickers

Reno looks blankly at him

Cloud Strife says, "So you never woke up somewhere you weren't supposed to be?"

Reno says, "of course I did! I black out after drinking far to much"

Cloud Strife says, "Bingo. Ever find any strawberry blond hairs on your jacket and wonder why?"

Reno looks at Cloud

Reno says, "Shut up"

Cloud Strife says, "There you go getting defensive again"

Cloud Strife chuckles. Grins at Reno

Cloud Strife says, "You get so defensive... it's funny"

Reno says, "humph"

Reno shakes his ponytail

Cloud Strife says, "Wonder if he thought that cute...."

Reno glares at him

Cloud Strife is subtly flirting with Reno as well as tormenting him

Cloud Strife says, "Poor Reno... doesn't even remember the wonderful time he had"

Reno decides to ignore him

Reno says, "I'm a Turk...."

Cloud Strife says, "Uh huh..."

Cloud Strife yawns

Cloud Strife says, "Whatever you turkeys used on me...."

Reno is pretending to ignore Cloud

Reno says, "Where are those two? This isn't like them!"

Cloud Strife yawns again and puts his head in his arms... beginning to doze off

Reno looks over at Cloud

Cloud Strife has fallen asleep again... due to whatever sedative was used

Reno sits down

Cloud Strife sucks his thumb in his sleep... one of his little known secrets

Reno says, "*to himself* Aww, how cute... he sucks his thumb"

Cloud Strife talks in his sleep... although it is all unintelligible

Reno listens

Cloud Strife seems to be begging Sephiroth not to destroy the world.... And to let him live a normal life for once

Reno says, "normal life?"

Reno scratches his head. Watches Cloud. Takes out another Cig and lights it up

Cloud Strife fidgets in his sleep... apologizing to someone profusely about looking at another man

Reno listens

Cloud Strife says, "I was just.... Admiring him.... I wasn't... "

Cloud Strife furrows his brow

Reno smokes his cig

Cloud Strife jolts awake with a blank look in his eyes... then slowly comes around

Reno looks at Cloud while smoking

Cloud Strife rubs his head

Cloud Strife says, "What the hell did you guys use on me?"

Reno blinks

Reno says, "nothing actually"

Cloud Strife says, "Eh?"

Reno says, "We didn't drug you at all"

Cloud Strife sits up

Reno says, "we just tied you up and took you here"

Cloud Strife says, "Perhaps Im just tired.... Sephiroth has Stamina I must say..."

Reno says, "hmmm"

Reno raises an eyebrow

Cloud Strife says, "Nothin. Rufus had stamina going for him there as well ne?"

Reno says, "you were talking in your sleep kid"

Cloud Strife says, "I was?"

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "What was I saying?"

Reno says, "begging Sephiroth not to kill everyone"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't want him to"

Reno says, "yeah, same here"

Cloud Strife says, "He won't listen to me though"

Reno says, "he's a psycho! What do you expect?"

Cloud Strife frowns

Cloud Strife says, "I expect him to listen to the man he loves... Maybe... he doesn't...."

Reno says, "what does he say when you ask him not to?"

Cloud Strife says, "that it has to be done.... It's his destiny"

Reno says, "it's insanity"

Cloud Strife says, "He doesn't even care when I tell him I will be sad...."

Reno says, "He's got the idea in his head that he has to do it.... He's insane!"

Cloud Strife says, "I asked him why he just couldn't teach you guys how to care for the planet right... "

Reno says, "and?"

Cloud Strife says, "He said... you'd only learn by dying... and being reborn"

Reno says, "he's a murdering psychopath ... who thinks he's a god"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "What do I do?"

Reno shrugs

Reno says, "don't make him mad ... there is no telling what he would do angry ... "

Cloud Strife says, "He'll get mad just because I let myself get caught"

Reno says, "hmm, this isn't good"

Reno scratches his head

Reno says, "and Elena and Rude are missing"

Reno sighs

Cloud Strife says, "You got ditched"

Reno says, "yeah, I noticed"

Reno sighs

Reno says, "my best friend has gone off ... I bet with Elena"

Cloud Strife says, "Probably"

Reno says, "he says he likes Tifa, but I know he has a thing for Elena"

Cloud Strife says, "People are prone to that"

Reno says, "and Elena, now that Tseng is dead ... even though she loved him ... well, I know she always liked Rude"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Love is confusing to me anymore... Is what Seph gives me love?"

Reno says, "I don't know. What does he give you?"

Cloud Strife says, "He holds me... says he doesn't want to see me hurt.... Pleasures me..."

Reno listens to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "But can he love? He has no compassion for the rest of the world... why would he have any for me?"

Reno says, "I don't know"

Cloud Strife says, "He promises I will not die... that we will be together forever...."

Reno looks at Cloud

Reno says, "do you believe him?"

Cloud Strife says, "I do... I have to..."

Reno nods

Cloud Strife says, "I gave him my heart.... He still has it.... I will follow him to the ends of the earth as I promised"

Reno says, "how noble. What about him?"

Cloud Strife says, "hmm?"

Reno says, "I mean, did he promise you the same?"

Cloud Strife says, "He says he loves me... that he wouldn't want to see harm come to me... I believe him.... Although I wonder why he's not here... "

Reno says, "I wonder where Elena and Rude are"

Cloud Strife says, "They are probably... 'Busy'"

Reno smirks

Reno says, "yeah"

Reno finishes his last cig and crushes it on the floor

Cloud Strife says, "Those are bad for your health you know..."

Reno says, "so, how do you love a psycho murderer? Cause he has your heart? Yeah, so?"

Cloud Strife says, "I just love him..."

Reno says, "Ehh"

Reno shrugs

Reno says, "lucky you kid"

Cloud Strife says, "Ever since our first kiss... I've felt a bond with him... exept when I was mindwhiped"

Reno says, "ah, Hojo did that to you"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm guessing so"

Cloud Strife sighs

Reno says, "yeah, well... Hojo *starts to chuckle to himself*...."

Cloud Strife says, "What's funny about Hojo... he's scary...."

Reno says, "oh... nothing"

Reno watches him some more

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "can you let me go please? I don't want to catch holy hell from him..."

Reno searches his pockets. Looks at Cloud

Reno says, "sorry, got my orders"

Cloud Strife says, "And if he finds me alone in a room with another man..."

Reno says, "and, what are you afraid of?"

Cloud Strife says, "He'll think things..."

Reno smirks

Reno says, "so, why do you say the guy loves you when you fear his wrath?"

Cloud Strife says, "When he gets angry... he gets really angry"

Reno says, "ever seen it?"

Cloud Strife says, "He got real angry at Zack...."

Reno says, "ohh"

Cloud Strife says, "I thought he was gonna kill him...."

Reno says, "the homophobe?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah.... "

Reno says, "he'd get mad at you?"

Cloud Strife says, "Perhaps he should have killed him..."

Reno says, "yeah...."

Cloud Strife says, "Did you know Zack?"

Reno says, "no, but, you talked about the guy"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah. I teased him a little too much and we got into an argument... I swung at him..."

Reno says, "I think you said that before"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.... I wish I hadn't done it... Mebbe Zack wouldn't have been such an ass... and reported us"

Reno says, "why? I love fighting!"

Reno shrugs

Reno says, "who knows"

Cloud Strife says, "What am I talking about? Zack was an ass period...."

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "Cute one too..."

Reno says, "why would you be afraid if Sephiroth walked in right now?"

Cloud Strife says, "I'd be afraid he would think me a traitor... you are ShinRa after all"

Reno says, "why'd he think that?"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm sitting here peacefully talking to you instead of trying to kill you"

Reno says, "how could you say he loves you when you are actually afraid of him?"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "I gave him my heart.... I love him... I have to trust him.... Without trusting him I wouldn't love him truly"

Reno says, "ok"

Reno looks away again

Reno says, "Damn, they've been gone far to long ... "

Cloud Strife says, "Why don't you go out and look for them?"

Reno says, "I can't leave you alone"

Cloud Strife says, "oh.... Darn..."

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "You probably wouldn't like what you found if you walked in on them"

Reno says, "true"

Cloud Strife says, "You have the hots for anyone else Reno?"

Reno says, "nah"

Reno looks over at Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Why hasn't he come for me?"

Reno shrugs

Reno says, "why aren't Elena and Rude here?"

Cloud Strife sweeps his spikey hair back but it just bounces into place again

Cloud Strife says, "Well we know why they aren't here..."

Reno says, "no... We think we do"

Cloud Strife says, "You don't think.... Seph's.... With someone else too?"

Reno says, "I have no idea. Why, what do you think?"

Cloud Strife says, "Don't know. He wouldn't do that to me"

Reno says, "why not?"

Cloud Strife says, "he loves me"

Reno says, "ahh. I guess that makes sense kid"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm glad something makes sense"

Cloud Strife stretches out on the floor and looks miserable

Reno says, "why do you look so miserable kid?"

Cloud Strife says, "This is boring... that's why"

Reno says, "ohh"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't even have a deck of cards..."

Reno says, "to bad. Hey, why do you want to die with the rest of us if it comes to that?"

Cloud Strife says, "I would be lonely... I think"

Reno says, "wouldn't you have him?"

Cloud Strife says, "Would he really have time for me if he was a god? I'm not sure."

Reno says, "ahh, that's what you're worried about, eh?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah..."

Reno says, "I suppose with all that power he says he's gonna get he will not be able to do more then one thing?"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't know...."

Reno says, "ahh, poor kid"

Cloud Strife says, "You don't know how wonderful it is to just be with him... it's all I want.... I don't want him to kill anyone... destroy anything..."

Reno says, "go on... anything else?"

Cloud Strife says, "I just want to be with him... forever.... Like he says... but I don't want him to destroy this world...."

Reno says, "hmmm, why's he gonna destroy the world... I mean, other then he's insane?"

Cloud Strife says, "He has to for some reason.... It's his destiny"

Reno roles his eyes

Reno says, "the guy's a nut"

Cloud Strife says, ".... Yes.... He is..."

Reno says, "what the hell are you gonna do then?"

Cloud Strife says, "don't know. Stick with him... it's all I can do.... I can't go against him"

Reno says, "oh, noble..."

Cloud Strife says, "Reno... what are you going to do?"

Reno says, "I... don't know"

Cloud Strife sighs. Curls up on his side... looking quite dejected

Reno looks over at him

Reno says, "what's the matter kid?"

Cloud Strife says, "I miss Seph... my Seph...the one back in Soldier.... The one who wasn't nuts...."

Reno says, "oh. What made him go nuts any way? That Jenova thingy?"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess his trip in the life stream.... Combined with finding out he was not totally human...."

Reno says, "Jenova"

Cloud Strife says, "How'd you know about Jenova and stuff anyway?"

Reno says, "oh"

Reno scratches his head

Reno says, "I'm a Turk, we know everything"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Cloud Strife says, "If you know everything then where is Sephiroth?"

Reno says, "hey, do you think if Jenova dies he'd go back to normal?"

Cloud Strife says, "Dunno... Im not too clear on what his connection is with Jenova"

Reno says, "I mean, he changed after he found out about her, right?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah"

Reno says, "so ... do you think?"

Cloud Strife says, "Maybe...."

Reno says, "Sounds like a plan then... you want your Sephiroth back to normal, everyone else wants to live..."

Cloud Strife says, "I want them to live too...."

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... used to love the arts.... Literature.... Music.... It'll all be gone if he destroys the world"

Reno says, "I love booze, fighting, and chicks..."

Reno grins

Cloud Strife says, "Well that's you.... "

Reno says, "what about you Kid, what do you love?"

Cloud Strife says, "That'll all be gone too... not that I ever got to try booze or chicks...."

Reno says, "never kid? Poor you"

Cloud Strife says, "Me?"

Reno says, "yeah"

Reno stands up

Cloud Strife says, "I... I want to try new things... "

Reno says, "well, chicks would be cheating...."

Reno fishes in his pockets. Finds one last cig

Cloud Strife says, "I slept with Aeris..."

Reno says, "here, you can try this kid... hmm? Really? How was she?"

Reno smirks

Cloud Strife says, "I didn't do anything"

Reno says, "Ohhhh, she did it all?"

Cloud Strife says, "We just cuddled"

Reno says, "Ohhhh"

Reno walks over to Cloud. Hands him the Cig"

Reno says, "here's something new"

Cloud Strife takes the cigarette

Cloud Strife says, "How do I?"

Reno lights it

Reno says, "well, stick the colored end in your mouth. So any way, you think my idea will work?"

Cloud Strife puts it in his mouth and takes an experimental drag

Cloud Strife says, "Eck..."

Cloud Strife coughs....

Reno says, "yeah, they're bad for you"

Cloud Strife says, "No wonder he kept me away from these things"

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife makes a face and wonders what to do with the cigarette....

Reno takes it from Cloud. Crushes it in his fingers. Tosses it somewhere

Cloud Strife says, "That didn't burn at all?"

Reno says, "no"

Cloud Strife says, "You didn't even get burned...."

Cloud Strife sighs and crawls to a corner... then leans into it... staring at the ceiling

Reno watches Cloud

Reno says, "what is it kid?"

Cloud Strife says, "Did he forget me?"

Reno says, "Sephiroth?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... who else would I be pining for?"

Reno says, "ohh, I doubt it"

Reno scratches his head

Cloud Strife looks at Reno

Cloud Strife says, "So turkey... why are you holding me here?"

Reno says, "waiting for the ShinRa"

Cloud Strife says, "For what?"

Cloud Strife says, "They would have been here by now"

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "Maybe you should call them again.... Where's your PHS?"

Reno says, "I guess they're missing like Elena and Rude... um..."

Cloud Strife says, "how the hell can ShinRa be missing?"

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "they own the frickin planet!"

Reno says, "I have no idea"

Cloud Strife says, "I hate being stuck in this room with you...."

Reno says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "nothing..."

Reno says, "any way ... they ain't here"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm leaving then"

Reno says, "sorry, can't let you leave. I got orders"

Cloud Strife says, "Who says you're gonna let me? Im just gonna up and do it"

Cloud Strife stands

Reno stands up

Cloud Strife says, "And how did you know about my memory Alterations/"

Cloud Strife begins edging towards the door

Reno says, "um.... Did I say that?"

Reno scratches his head

Cloud Strife says, "Yes you did"

Reno says, "oh... heh heh...."

Cloud Strife glares at Reno. Approaches Reno menacingly

Reno says, "hmmm"

Cloud Strife says, "If its one thing I can do its fight..."

Reno says, "yeah, I know. Now, why are you looking at me that way?"

Cloud Strife says, "who are you?"

Reno blinks

Reno says, "what do you mean? You know who I am!"

Cloud Strife says, "You know too much to be a stupid damned Turk"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "whose told you what you know/"

Reno says, "no one"

Cloud Strife says, "Then how did you find out?"

Reno says, "I learned about it"

Cloud Strife says, "Let me out of here Reno or I swear I'll break your pretty little nose.... And a hell of a lot more"

Reno chuckles again

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth isn't this slow..."

Reno folds his arms

Cloud Strife starts pacing... keeping a wary gaze on Reno

Reno says, "and Elena and Rude are professionals, they should be back by now"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm tired of being in here... not only are you tempting me beyond words... Its boring!"

Reno says, "tempting you?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... yore hot.... Amazing... no where near as good as Sephiroth... but still..."

Reno chuckles

Cloud Strife says, "and you're laughing now that I've told you Im attracted to you... You're a homophobe... you aren't even tensing now!"

Reno chuckles some more

Cloud Strife walks over to Reno and looks him dead in the eye

Cloud Strife says, "Stop screwing with me"

Reno looks back, his eyes fiery blue, hiding something.

Cloud Strife growls

Cloud Strife says, "Enough of this..."

Reno says, "enough of what?"

Cloud Strife says, "this game"

Reno says, "game?"

Cloud Strife shoves Reno aside and walks to the door

Cloud Strife says, "I don't like being played with"

Cloud Strife moves to step around Reno

Reno backs up, blocking the door

Cloud Strife says, "Damn it! Let me out of here! I don't like being captive..."

Reno says, "true...."

Cloud Strife says, "How would you know?"

Cloud Strife growls

Reno says, "now now, no need to get angry with me"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't want to be here.... Trapped in a room with a hot guy... I betrayed him once that way..."

Reno says, "but you didn't know"

Cloud Strife opens his eyes wide in surprise and backs away from Reno

Cloud Strife says, "Seph said... says... what the hell is goin on?"

Reno chuckles

Reno says, "sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Or make you angry"

Cloud Strife says, "Who what? "

Reno says, "now, just remember what I told you about Jenova"

Cloud Strife says, "You told me?"

Reno says, "she is the cause of your pain Cloud.... "

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "R... Reno you're... actin screwy"

Reno says, "I am?"

Cloud Strife sits down in the corner again and puts his head in his hands

Reno watches Cloud

Reno says, "You got to kill Jenova if you want Sephiroth, the way you remember him, back"

Cloud Strife says, "Where is it?"

Reno says, "not sure..."

Cloud Strife says, "Will it hurt Sephiroth if I kill it?"

Reno says, "doubt it"

Cloud Strife says, "How do I kill it then?"

Reno says, "don't know. But, you can't do it alone"

Reno opens the door

Reno says, "the ShinRa are here, but they can't find you. And, you'll need to find her fast"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "Work with the ShinRa...."

Reno says, "Meteor will be summoned soon, and there will not be much time"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess I have to... if it's going to save Seph.... And all of us as well..."

Reno nods. Takes out a peace of paper, writes on it and leaves it on the chair

Cloud Strife says, "What's that?"

Reno walks out the door, saying nothing more. Shuts it behind him

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife picks up the paper

"The main power of Jenova is to alter ones form, voice, and even the words...*on paper*"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "Seph.... Was that?"

Cloud Strife frowns
