Cloud Strife is sunbathing nude on the roof of Shinra HQ...
A cute little pikachu sits on a chair, watching Cloud sunbathe.
Cloud Strife yawns and rolls over.
The Pikachu says, "pika?"
The Pikachu hops down off the chair and slinks over to Cloud

The Pikachu says, "pika?"

Cloud Strife says, "Gah... a pikachu... shoo... "

The Pikachu says, "Chu!"

Cloud Strife folds his arms across his chest

The Pikachu says, "PIKA!"

Cloud Strife says, "Makes me wonder... are you an officer... or just a normal rodent... I need this tan though.... I gotta find a date tonight..."

The Pikachu scampers off under the chair

The Pikachu says, "pika?"

Cloud Strife says, "And I don't really care if you are an officer at this point... I got turned down for a promotion again"

The Pikachu nips at his fur, trying to clean it

Cloud Strife stretches and yawns

The Pikachu looks up and watches the sun go down. Scampers off into the building

Cloud Strife packs up his things and puts his clothing back on. Examines his arms

Cloud Strife says, "I should wear a light color tonight to look good"

Cloud Strife walks back to his quarters and fishes through his casual clothes.... Planning on actually getting a date tonight instead of spending his week's leave alone. Shoves some of his roommate's junk off of his dresser and examines himself in the mirror

Cloud Strife says, "Well... Im gonna do it! "

Cloud Strife practices a few facial expressions. Combs his hair and puts on some cologne... then goes out

Sephiroth is leaning in a doorway, one foot up on the opposite side, cleaning off his Masamune

Cloud Strife stops

Sephiroth shifts his eyes over to Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Hello Sir.... "

Cloud Strife salutes weakly

Sephiroth says, "on leave trooper?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes sir"

Sephiroth continues to polish his Masamune

Cloud Strife says, "My solace for not getting my promotion"

Sephiroth says, "and what are you planing to do with your leave?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well Sir... try and find someone to spend it with... I'm going clubbing... not the best place to meet someone... but it's the only place in this area"

Sephiroth nods slowly and takes his foot down, placing it back on the ground. Puts the polish rag away and looks Cloud over

Sephiroth says, "is that really your plan trooper?"

Cloud Strife nods

Sephiroth sets his Masamune aside and folds his gloved arms

Cloud Strife says, "Yes Sir"

Sephiroth says, "I don't suppose you would be willing to change any of your plans?"

Cloud Strife says, "depends"

Sephiroth says, "You say you were looking to get promoted?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes Sir"

Sephiroth says, "well, there is a small group looking for volunteers in a special project"

Cloud Strife says, "What kind of project?"

Sephiroth says, "one that involves promotion"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Then I'm for it I guess. As long as it's not going to maim me"

Sephiroth says, "no, it won't"

Sephiroth takes a few steps

Sephiroth says, "follow me trooper if you want in"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "Alright"

Sephiroth leads him off to a rather large building... a lab in fact

Cloud Strife looks around

Sephiroth leads him inside and points to a chair

Sephiroth says, "sit down, I'll go tell people you are here"

Cloud Strife sits down

Cloud Strife says, "Oww! What the heck?"

Sephiroth walks off

Cloud Strife feels floaty and peaceful

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... Nap time"

Cloud Strife leans back and falls asleep

Cloud Strife wakes up and stretches. Scratches his nose and freaks out when he notes his hand is small and yellow. Skitters off the bed he is sitting on and lands on his back quite dazed. Shakes his head

Cloud Strife blinks

The Pikachu says, "pika?"

Cloud Strife tries to talk but all that comes out is Pii

The Pikachu says, "pika!"

Cloud Strife blinks again

The Pikachu goes over to Cloud and sniffs him

Cloud Strife o O ( this has gotta be some weird dream... )

The Pikachu places a paw on Cloud's shoulder

The Pikachu says, "pika?"

Cloud Strife says, "Chu?"

The Pikachu says, "pika pika!"

The Pikachu wiggles his nose

Cloud Strife turns around in a circle

Cloud Strife o O (So much for getting a tan... not gonna get a date this way....)

The Pikachu taps Cloud's shoulder

Cloud Strife cocks his head to one side

The Pikachu says, "pika... Chu..."

Cloud Strife wishes he had a mirror

The Pikachu cocks his head, studying Cloud

Cloud Strife reaches up and pulls on one of his ears... noting he still has spiky hair

Cloud Strife says, "pi!"

The Pikachu scratches his ear

The Pikachu says, "[understand me?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[I think so... is this thing on?]"

The Pikachu says, "[heh, that's funny...]"

Cloud Strife says, "[so Im not dreaming?]"

The Pikachu says, "[nope]"

The Pikachu scratches behind his ear

Cloud Strife says, "[I guess this is the project Sephiroth was talking about...]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes, I suppose so. Are you ok?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[I guess... it's just a shock... I'm... not stuck this way? Am I?]"

The Pikachu says, "[no, you'll be able to turn back]"

Cloud Strife does a backflip

The Pikachu wiggles his nose

Cloud Strife says, "[well I work....]"

The Pikachu says, "[you like?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeah. Am I cute?]"

The Pikachu says, "[yep]"

Cloud Strife says, "[well that's a relief... cute in one form at least...]"

The Pikachu says, "[oh]"

Cloud Strife says, "[Im glad that pikachu on the roof wasn't an officer... I coulda gotten kicked out if it had been... but we won't go there]"

The Pikachu says, "[I suppose not, but sunbathing nude is cute]"

The Pikachu wiggles his nose

Cloud Strife says, "[eep!]"

Cloud Strife hides his head in his paws

The Pikachu chuckles in a cute, mousey, way

The Pikachu says, "[don't be afraid... I'm a pikachu}"

Cloud Strife says, "[just a pikachu?]"

The Pikachu smiles. Does the pikachu song

Cloud Strife blinks. Wiggles his ears

The Pikachu says, "[something wrong?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[no....]"

The Pikachu scampers off as the door opens

Cloud Strife blinks

The Pikachu watches someone pick up Cloud and carry him out

Cloud Strife picks at his new uniform as he wanders back to his quarters

Sephiroth is standing in a doorframe again, shining his blade

Cloud Strife stops

Sephiroth nods

Sephiroth says, "they let you out at last I see. Have fun?"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "I'm a little sore from the training... and everything"

Sephiroth says, "that is to be expected"

Cloud Strife says, "I got promoted... you think they woulda given me new quarters or something... but still stuck with that slob...."

Cloud Strife shrugs

Sephiroth nods

Cloud Strife says, "At least I can boss him around a bit more now...."

Sephiroth says, "well, I am going on mission soon, and from reading your profile, I believe it is in your home town"

Cloud Strife says, "Really?"

Sephiroth says, "Nibelheim"

Cloud Strife says, "You read my profile?"

Sephiroth nods

Cloud Strife says, "Are you going to recommend me for the mission?"

Sephiroth says, "if you want to go"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh yes sir! I haven't seen my mom in a while"

Sephiroth nods

Sephiroth says, "alright then, you'll be going. Get your rest, we leave in two days"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "Never did get my leave... ah well..."

Cloud Strife wanders off to his quarters

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... "

Cloud Strife examines the body...

Tifa Lockheart blinks

The Pikachu says, "pika? [Hello?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[hello. I understand]"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud? You're talking to that Pikachu..."

The Pikachu says, "[how are you?]"

The Pikachu runs over to Cloud and jumps up on his shoulder

Cloud Strife says, "[Im fine... you seem familiar]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes, that's good]"

The Pikachu looks over at Tifa

Cloud Strife says, "[don't worry... she doesn't understand... at least I don't think...]"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You're weirdin me out Cloud...."

The Pikachu says, "[oh]"

Tifa Lockheart looks at the pikachu

Tifa Lockheart says, "cute...."

Cloud Strife says, "[what's going on?]"

The Pikachu says, "[uh oh... watch out]"

Cloud Strife says, "[holy crud... a Charizard]"

The Charizard roars at the things in the room

The Pikachu says, "[yes...]"

Cloud Strife says, "[hmm.... Think you can help me with it?]"

The Pikachu says, "[sure]"

Cloud Strife says, "[if it attacks of course]"

Cloud Strife says, "[can it understand us?]"

The Pikachu jumps up in Tifa's head

The Charizard says, "[why are you three in here?]"

Tifa Lockheart says, "That... that things huge... and it doesn't look happy... Cloud?"

Cloud Strife says, "[We were taken captive by the president... or former president... we were saving a friend]"

The Charizard says, "[heh, I meant, what are you doing in this office?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[looking at a corpse it seems]"

The Charizard says, "[away with you, for my eyes only]"

The Pikachu makes a nest in Tifa's hair

Cloud Strife says, "[I wanna know where Sephiroth is]"

The Charizard says, "[I don't know... now get out of my office....]"

Cloud Strife turns to the pikachu and Tifa

Cloud Strife says, "he wants us to leave"

The Pikachu falls asleep in Tifa's hair

Cloud Strife turns back to the Charizard

Cloud Strife says, "[we will leave the office... but not the building... not until our questions are answered"

The Charizard says, "[you are making me mad....]"

Cloud Strife says, "[your kind are easily angered...]"

The Charizard says, "[get out of the building or I'm going to turn you to ash]"

Cloud Strife says, "[lets see you try]"

The Charizard says, "[change to a pikachu... I know you are one cause of your speech... and I'll fry your little whiskers]"

Cloud Strife says, "[fine then]"

Cloud Strife glances at Tifa then shifts. Wriggles out of his clothing and shakes himself off

The Pikachu says, "pika!"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Whoa.... Cloud can?"

The Pikachu wakes up and looks down at Cloud from Tifa's hair

Cloud Strife says, "[watch my back friend....]"

The Pikachu says, "[sure]"

Cloud Strife uses agility

Cloud Strife quick attacks the Charizard

Cloud Strife can move more quickly... but is vastly overpowered

Cloud Strife o O (Damn I wish I were a water Pokemon)

Cloud Strife gets slashed

Cloud Strife says, "Pii!"

Cloud Strife uses Thunder on the Charizard

The Pikachu jumps down off of Tifa's head

Cloud Strife gets hit again and faints... shifting back to his human form

The Pikachu runs over to the Charizard

Cloud Strife groans.... Unconscious and slightly charred

The Pikachu uses thundershocks at a high level

The Pikachu says, "pika!"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud! Whoa!"

Tifa Lockheart goes over to Cloud and checks him over

Rufus Shinra groans and forces himself to stand

Rufus Shinra says, "uhh, damn pikachu..."

Tifa Lockheart blinks at the other man in the room

Tifa Lockheart says, "holy crap... that's Rufus.... The VP... "

Rufus Shinra says, "President now..."

Rufus Shinra flicks his hair back

Tifa Lockheart blinks...

Tifa Lockheart says, "Well yeah... but only cuz your old man is dead"

Rufus Shinra says, "so what? I'm still in charge"

Tifa Lockheart clutches Cloud to her chest protectively

Rufus Shinra goes over to the secrete closet and pulls out his typical attire. Gets dressed

The Pikachu wanders off

Tifa Lockheart says, "Cloud wake up!"

Tifa Lockheart shakes Cloud

Rufus Shinra gets his shotgun and cocks it

Tifa Lockheart says, "C'mon... wake up... he's gonna shoot us!"

Rufus Shinra looks around

Rufus Shinra says, "where did that other pikachu go?"

Tifa Lockheart says, "no clue...."

Rufus Shinra hears the chopper

Rufus Shinra says, "ahh, my ride is here"

Rufus Shinra walks out onto the roof

Rufus Shinra says, "I'll deal with you all later"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Phew... he's gone..."

Rufus Shinra goes to his chopper and flies off

Tifa Lockheart says, "C'mon Cloud... snap outta it!"

Cloud Strife says, "Uhnn... wha?"

The Pikachu runs back to Cloud

The Pikachu says, "pika? [Are you ok?]"

The Pikachu jumps up on Cloud's chest

Cloud Strife says, "[thanks for saving my ass]"

The Pikachu says, "[ok... did you see who that was?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[no....]"

The Pikachu says, "[Rufus Shinra...]"

Cloud Strife says, "[the.... VP? He had treatments too?]"

The Pikachu says, "[he's the president now... and yes, obviously for a long time for he was a high level]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeah... im rather weak aren't I... wonder if I should evolve myself...]"

The Pikachu says, "[I need a thunderstone... I want one, but they are impossible to find]"

Cloud Strife says, "[if I find one... its yours... since I suck more... who are you... are you human or just a pikachu?]"

The Pikachu says, "[pikachu... I told you that before]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeah... are you the one that was in the lab?]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes]"

The Pikachu looks up at Tifa

Cloud Strife blinks

The Pikachu says, "[what now?]"

Tifa Lockheart says, "This is all too weird... you're pikaing and I don't understand a word..."

Cloud Strife says, "[we go after sephiroth]"

The Pikachu says, "[ok, I'll see you later then]"

The Pikachu scampers off

Cloud Strife decides to shift and explore the boat that way... while the others are busy

Cloud Strife scampers through the ducts and pops out in the cargo bay... plunking a few feet from the vent to the floor

The Pikachu says, "[hello]"

Cloud Strife says, "[oh... hi... didn't expect to see you here]"

The Pikachu moves over to Cloud, smiling

The Pikachu says, "[really?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[well... you seem to be following me]"

The Pikachu wiggles his nose

The Pikachu says, "[I like you]"

Cloud Strife says, "[well... you saved my life ... I gotta thank you for that again]"

The Pikachu goes over to Cloud and places a paw on his shoulder

Cloud Strife smiles pikachuishly

The Pikachu touches Cloud's ear, running his paw along it

Cloud Strife says, "[oh wow... those are sensitive]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes, you like?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeah... it feels nice]"

The Pikachu continues to rub Cloud's ear

Cloud Strife chirrs happily

The Pikachu rubs his nose against Cloud's

Cloud Strife blinks

The Pikachu says, "[you ok?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yah... its just a little weird...]"

The Pikachu says, "[weird?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[well... I don't even know if you're male or female...]"

The Pikachu says, "[male...]"

Cloud Strife says, "[really?]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes... why?]"

The Pikachu rubs Cloud's ear

Cloud Strife says, "[well... Im male as well... I didn't expect you to be interested... specially since you are the same...]"

The Pikachu says, "[oh... well, I am. That's why I've been following you]"

Cloud Strife says, "[so... have you been following me all these years?]"

The Pikachu says, "[as much as possible]"

Cloud Strife says, "[You were the one watching me sunbathe too...]"

The Pikachu nods

Cloud Strife says, "[why were you interested in me? You got a thing for humans?]"

The Pikachu says, "[don't know, just was]"

The Pikachu rubs Cloud's nose

Cloud Strife chirrs

The Pikachu pounces on Cloud playfully. Nuzzles Cloud and licks him

Cloud Strife pounces the other Pikachu and tussles with him

The Pikachu roles around with Cloud, playfully nipping him and such

Cloud Strife squeaks happily

Cloud Strife says, "[I don't get to have fun like this often... I have to be serious a lot]"

The Pikachu says, "[have fun then]"

Cloud Strife says, "[I plan to...]"

The Pikachu rubs against him, casing a nice static charge

Cloud Strife says, "[Prr... you got strong voltage]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes, I know]"

The Pikachu closes his eyes and holds onto Cloud, rubbing against him

Cloud Strife says, "[mmm... I wanna be that strong some day....]"

The Pikachu says, "[train]"

Cloud Strife says, "[don't have much time....]"

The Pikachu builds up static charge with him

Cloud Strife nips at the other pikachu's ear

The Pikachu nips at Cloud's ear playfully

Cloud Strife says, "[this is somewhat arousing...]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes yes]"

The Pikachu there is a small static glow around them. Rubs against Cloud, nipping at him every now and again

Cloud Strife says, "[this is something I never thought I would be doing... prrrr]"

The Pikachu says, "[what?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[getting my jollies as a pikachu....]"

The Pikachu says, "[like it?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeeeeeah]"

The Pikachu moves around Cloud and clings to his back. Nips his ears some more in a playful manner

Cloud Strife wiggles his ears

The Pikachu begins to make love to Cloud, clinging to his back... a faint glow of energy around them

Cloud Strife says, "[ohh.... Wow....]"

The Pikachu purrs loudly as he makes love to Cloud

The Pikachu says, "[you... like?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[yeah.... Prrrrr....]"

The Pikachu continues to make love to Cloud, nipping his ears and licking his back

Cloud Strife purrs loudly... not even realizing that he could purr before this...

The Pikachu purrs loudly as well, the static charge building around them as he moves

Cloud Strife squeaks a little

Cloud Strife says, "[just not used to this... sorta thing]"

The Pikachu says, "[good or bad?]"

The Pikachu slows down a bit

Cloud Strife says, "[it doesn't really hurt... just.... Well... is odd]"

The Pikachu says, "[odd? DO you like though?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[I do!]"

The Pikachu goes back to the pace he was at before, nipping Cloud's ears some more

Cloud Strife says, "[I never realized how versatile this form was... I sorta got promoted cuz I offered to be a guinea pig... think Sephiroth let me go a little too early...]"

The Pikachu says, "[ahhh, ok]"

The Pikachu makes love for a while longer before the static changes to volts charging them both. Gets off of Cloud's back lays on the soft net they are in

Cloud Strife says, "[that was wonderful... prrr... I will look for you more often]"

Cloud Strife curls up beside him

The Pikachu says, "[mmm, yes that was, and I'd love that]"

The Pikachu curls up as well

Cloud Strife says, "[whenever I can get away from the others that is... they keep a tight leash on me...]"

The Pikachu says, "[leash? Why?]"

Cloud Strife says, "[well not literally....]"

The Pikachu nestles into him

The Pikachu says, "[I think I'm in love with you...]"

Cloud Strife says, "[really?]"

The Pikachu says, "[yes]"

Cloud Strife says, "[I think I may share that feeling]"

The Pikachu says, "[awww]"

The Pikachu goes to sleep with Cloud
