“Last Call”

 

They came in at two AM. Tifa tolerated them because they tipped well and Rude was sweet to her. Tonight Rufus had come along. Strangely, he was dressed in the Turk uniform rather than his pristine white suit. He and Reno sat at a corner table. They talked softly, leaneing into each other with devouring gazes, and it was clear that they were together even if they weren’t broadcasting it. Tifa wished it could be that way between Cloud and herself.

 

“Hm?” Rude had asked her a question.

 

“Doin’ anything this weekend?”

 

Tifa smiled faintly, “Not really. Why?”

Yeah, about 99% of them were huh? Must be all the Mako in the water. lol

[brutal_priestess]

Yeah I know...sort of annoying, really. What was up with Barret, though? I mean...mesh top?!

I still think they short-changed Cid in AC, and wtf...Where were the cigs?

[wufei_w]

Barret has always been a little 'gay' in the canon, always talking about Cloud's ass and all, mesh was really big in the early 90s. lol

I think Cid's the 1% that the Mako had a bad reaction to. Why else would he be the only 'old' looking character? Poor sod, he's one of my favorites too. ^^; "Sit down and drink your Goddamn tea!!!" He had my forever with those words.

And you know that only psychos and serial killers smoke in the year 2000 and after. *is being sarcastic*

[brutal_priestess]

Oh god yes, and I was so pissed that he sounded kinda red-neck or whatever. I'd always kinda imagined something closer to Clint Eastwood or Harrison Ford. An australian accent would have been okay, too....

Yeah, they cleaned up FF7 quite a bit. I mean, the cursing was pretty hardcore and the suggestive themes.... Assassins and whorehouses and transvestitism! Oh my!

Shame, but whatever.

Ya, ya...I know. Smoking is so uncool now. But how's he supposed to do that one limit break with the dynamite? Light it with a match? *yaaawn*

[wufei_w]

They've gone waaayyyy overboard with the smoking thing IMO. I'm not a smoker but a lot of my friends and favorite characters smoke, and the last time I checked they weren't going around and randomly killing people.

Sephiroth killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people and I never seen him touch a cigarette. What does that tell you?

Wow, I just realized I really need sleep! I'm getting all worked-up about fictional characters smoking habits! lol XD!!

[brutal_priestess]

lol! The world would have been safer if only Seph had picked up a pack of smokes!

[wufei_w]

You know what? He probably would have calmed the fuck down if he did! XD!!

[brutal_priestess]

That would've been totally anticlimactic: Instead of Seph being all like: "I'm a biological weapon! Argh! Now everyone must die!" It would have been more like: "I'm a biological weapon! Fuck, I need a smoke!"

[wufei_w]

And a Shiny new Universe is born!!! Mwahahahahaha!!! XD!!

[brutal_priestess]

Oh, here's a real Sephiroth mind-fuck for ya: His last name is Valentino.

Really? 0_O Holy shit....

*psst* Hot Turks Action! up above

[wufei_w]

They finally gave him a canon last name and it's that?!? So Vince really is his daddy!!! And a million fangirls are vindicated. LOL XD!

[brutal_priestess]

Well, I don't know how legit it is. I found it on a website that was dissecting the meaning of character names. And yet this is the first time I've ever seen Seph given a surname.... Hmmm....

[wufei_w]

That is odd timing. Zack didn't get a last name till CC, you would've thought that if they were going to give Seph one they would've done it then or in DoC.
