003 | failed lock | Video --pre-dated to before the blind date

[ World-ending super Meteors? Spiritual remains of the Big Bad? Big Bad himself? All these Cloud could face without losing his cool, but this has him squirming a little like the young Cadet he once was. Have him sort of fidget - scratching the back of his head, looking away from the terminal, clearing his throat - before he finally nods to himself and speaks up. ]

Reno... Can I borrow a suit?

[video] oh Cloud. You poor bb

[turkleader]

[Is that a hint of a smile on his face?]

And where is this date supposed to take place?

[ the story of his life. sob. ]

Floor 38.

[turkleader]

What is it you plan to do?

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

I don't know. It all depends on the date.

[video]

[turkleader]

A brave man, Mr. Strife. To not even know who might show up for this, nor what you plan to do.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

I can't plan for this place all the time, Tseng.

[video]

[turkleader]

No. You never seemed the type to make plans. [Suddenly thoughtful.]

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

I guess I got that from Zack.

[video]

[turkleader]

He does rub off on a person, doesn't he. It must be strange, him being here.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

Him... And Sephiroth. Having both of them around, seeing them from before everything that happened... I guess I am still trying to work my head around it.

[video]

[turkleader]

As am I. When is the general from? What time, I suppose I'm asking.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

He and Zack came from around the same time - Nibelhiem before it all came to a head.

[video]

[turkleader]

... Why doesn't Zack know of his future?

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

Rusty said we shouldn't tell him... And I figured that if I did tell him, he wouldn't either believe me or he would tell Sephiroth.

[video]

[turkleader]

I think he would be able to be a little more discreet then that. Why did Rusty say not to?

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

I think he's a little paranoid.

[video]

[turkleader]

...I've come to understand that. He is a little unhinged.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

I guess I'[ll just wait until I can talk to Zack without him around and hope for the best.

[video]

[turkleader]

I'll try not to say anything until then. Unless it happens to come up in conversation.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

If it happens, it happens. We can't predict what we'll say all the time.

[video]

[turkleader]

I worry about what he might do when he finds out. What any of them might do.

[video]

[atouchofstrife]

Yeah... That's my worry too.
