[fairly]

Never a dull moment in this place, huh.

Well, the bar's still open! Don't try to drown your sorrows or anything though, okay? That's no way to deal with what just happened.


[Locked to Buffy and Meryl]

Hey Buffy, Meryl, got a question. There's a guy who came to Luceti a few months ago, Shizuo- he fell on the fountain, if you were around for that. He wants to work at the bar, and I said it'd be okay if he worked during my shifts. If you guys don't mind, I mean- let me know if it's a problem.


[Locked to Shizuo]

Hey, Shizuo, feel like working tonight? I'd like to talk.


[Zack'll be chilling out in Good Spirits for a good chunk of today, and he's really looking to socialize for a distraction, so COME SOCIALIZE. Yes.]

Avoid you? You mean, so even you can't be a charmer all the time? [It's mostly just teasing--but she is a little curious what happened. She thought it'd be the other way around.] But I meant bodyguarding for other people, too.

[wingenvy]

She just takes things too seriously! It's not like any of what happened that week was my fault. [Other bodyguarding, though... huh.] I never really thought about being a bodyguard, but if a job came my way, I don't think I'd say no! I mean, if someone was in trouble and needed it, I couldn't just say no.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I thought you might say something like that.

[wingenvy]

Uh-oh, I'm not becoming predictable, am I?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Slowly, though with the smile on her face she already knows her smile...it's just a matter of phrasing.] I'm not sure I would say "becoming"...

Not when it comes to people in trouble.

[wingenvy]

You got me there. It's a good thing though, right? You can't be a hero by letting people get hurt.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Even if that means getting in a little trouble yourself. I know. Say, I guess I've been a hero myself sometimes too. [She has certainly gotten herself in enough trouble for it.]

[wingenvy]

Well, you did save me already! And I know you helped Cloud a lot, too. We were lucky to have you around.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Saved you? [She's surprised for a moment before he goes on, and laughs it off, assuming he means how she met both.] Someone had to wake you sleepyheads up. And you really were lucky! You even had some flowers to break your fall. Though that wasn't so lucky for the flowers...

[wingenvy]

Haha, that's right, you yelled at me when I stepped on them! Maybe I hit my head harder than I thought to not notice them before.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Now don't go blaming the fall for everything. They were right in front of you!

...It'd be nice to see them again.

[wingenvy]

Most people don't expect to see flowers again!

Have any showed up at the flower shop? We could put some planters in the apartment. Oh, or how about a garden outside the building? I bet people would love to see that!

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Even more reason for them to stand out! [though that was years and years ago so she's hardly taking this seriously. But at the second part--]

Oh! In the apartment, maybe? Daisy's well-behaved, he wouldn't mess them up. Outside the building? That might work... a lot of people come through there, though. I don't want any getting wrecked! Oh, what about the roof? It's big enough for a little space.

[... This girl covered her house in flowers. She will consider covering an apartment building too.]

[wingenvy]

We could just put flowers everywhere! It could be like home- Luceti full of flowers, and-- wait, we can't really fill pockets with money...

[okay so it's not like home at all, but he'll take what he can get.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

No. But that means we'll have more room for other things.

[So weird hearing about "home" considering what Midgar's become--but she knows what he means, or think she does, so she keeps going with a smile.]

You could find yours stuffed with little notes. From the flowers.

[wingenvy]

I've always wondered what they have to say. I like that idea.

[So long as they're not gossiping about him or something 8|a]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

["What a cute butt teehee" no. ...Maybe. He did land on them with it. 8|a]

Okay. I'll pass on any messages.

[wingenvy]

[Well it's not like they'd be wrong.]

Maybe you should write a guide for people. "How to Talk to Flowers"... or something like that.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Most of the trick to talking is listening in the first place.

[Her guide would be so useless lol. "why can't you hear anything 8("]

[wingenvy]

But I do listen! I'm just not as good at it as you are. [Much better at talking. A lot.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Heh, I have been doing it a lot longer. You'd have to get in a ton of practice to catch up!

[wingenvy]

Maybe I just give up too easily. It's kinda hard to believe they're talking when you can't hear a word.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

So you don't believe me? [Wounded. Oh so wounded.]

[wingenvy]

[So very wounded, he can tell.]

Of course I do! But I'm not you. I'm good for a lot of things, but flowers are definitely your thing.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

They do like a delicate touch. You SOLDIERs are just too rough!
