Passed it again, huh. I keep losing track... wonder if it's a good thing.

....

Hey, so... does anybody have a particular day - or more than one, I guess - that means something to them? Not their birthday or a holiday or anything like that, I mean a regular, normal day where something important or significant happened to them. Could be good or bad, whatever.


[Zack's in a weird mood today, for... various reasons. He's also lounging in the hammock outside House 50, enjoying it while he can before the cold weather forces him to take it down, so if you happen to be in the area, feel free to bother him that way instead.]

I try not to have any. It tends to put people on edge too much.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Probably because they're not used to it. But it simply means that you're human, doesn't it?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Can't argue with that. [Even if SOLDIERs are still kind of monsters.] ...Thanks, Raine.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... You're welcome, Zack.

How have things been for you, aside from that?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[He's perking up, go Raine!]

Pretty good, actually! Now that everybody's home and safe, I'm a lot happier with how things are going. It's quiet though- dunno if that's a good thing or not.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Good. [She nods at that first part. She still needs to check up on those two, but that doesn't have to be brought up now.]

I suppose it depends on what you mean by it being quiet.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Good luck convincing them to cooperate :|]

Well... there's no crazy disaster or experiment driving everybody up the wall, so it's good. But unless you give guys like me and Cloud something to do we'll either get bored or start accidentally breaking things. And Cloud broods.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Cloud's cooperating... he just needs to convince Aerith :|b]

The new feather cycle is almost at an end, so it won't be quiet for much longer. Though some things have been going on here and there, it seems.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack will step in if necessary :|]

Yeah... is it just me, or was there a little earthquake earlier?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I noticed something as well, but I haven't had the chance to investigate just yet.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I'm not really worried unless it gets worse or people start making a fuss about it. Considering the sort of stuff that happens around here, a bit of rumbling isn't much of an issue.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Some situations do tend to resolve themselves, I suppose. But it doesn't hurt to be aware of them.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Can't argue with that. [Siiiiigh. He's half-wishing something would happen, he needs a good distraction from... well. Things.] So what're you up to these days?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She shrugs a little.] The usual things, now that Genis's situation has been resolved. School, and the like.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[TOO NORMAL, RAINE.] Sounds fun. How're things going at the school, anyway? You and Gelda holding the fort okay? You must be getting a lot more students now...

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[There's a little more to it than that, but yes.]

We're managing. It seems we may be getting another teacher to help out, once the schedule can be adjusted accordingly. The attendance right now is certainly greater than I had hoped for.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Another teacher, really? Who is it?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Yes, her name is Quistis. She's already been tutoring and assisting with some of the work, so it won't be difficult to fully integrate her into classes.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

That sounds great! I'm glad the school's doing well, it seems like it's a really big help to everyone who goes there.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Thank you. I honestly hope it is. At the very least, it's some form of structure to help pass the time...

[Action]

[wingenvy]

No offense, but I could do with a little more action, I think.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I understand. But it's better than nothing, all the same.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, true enough. I'm sure your students appreciate what you and Gelda are doing for 'em, and that's what matters.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'd like to hope that they do. But yes, it is.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[You're getting a nod, and then, after a pause, a somewhat scrutinizing look.] ...Are you getting enough rest? I know you like to overwork yourself.
