[starshower]

He seems like an alright guy. A little quiet, but nothing bad.

[That next part surprises her, though.]

Oh? What sort of message?

[activatingcombatmode]

He seems like a decent, quiet guy. Yeah.

I don't get the message but I think Cloud will more than we will. He said, "I'm almost finished."

I'm guessing with some sort of task or thing he was doing.

[starshower]

You know, now that you mention it, when I asked him if he was going to come stay with us, he said he had something he had to take care of first. Was real cagey about it, but I didn't think to ask any questions. Even when I offered to help, he refused it.

[activatingcombatmode]

Huh.

Whatever it was, must mean he took your offer to heart, then?

I'm fine with him joining us if he's up for it. Seems like it's unanimous.

[starshower]

Let's hope that he did. I don't know him, but if Cloud and Red can vouch for him, then I don't see an issue. He said we were really good friends. I just wish that I could remember.

So you really don't know anything about him either?

[activatingcombatmode]

Nope, nothing. All I know is he said he's an ex-Shinra too.

Which, by all means join our club, right?

[starshower]

Ex-Shinra? As in a SOLDIER?

[activatingcombatmode]

No, I don't think he was a SOLDIER. But he definitely worked for Shinra in some capacity.

[starshower]

Wonder why he was so secretive about it. Not like it'd be the first time an ex-Shinra joined us.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, no idea. Maybe he had his own ghosts to deal with first.

[Since a lot of them do have those...]

But Cloud did say he trusts him.

[starshower]

I guess that's all we need. Only thing we can do now is give him time... I did offer him food and drink if he ever needed it at the bar, so hopefully we'll see him around. But if you hear anything from him, let me know.

[Is she a little worried about him and his wellbeing? Most definitely.]

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, will do. I'll see if I can check up on him too. He's a little hard to get a hold of, though.

[If it's the fact that he sucks at using his shellphone or he's a shadow in the night? It's left to be said!]

[starshower]

Yeah. Think we'll just have to wait for him to come to us. From the sounds of it, he's got a pretty good knack for hiding.

[activatingcombatmode]

I knew it. It's those edgy types.

[He's mostly joking now.]

[starshower]

Definitely. Good thing we've already got one of our own. We're already experts.

[activatingcombatmode]

[He snorts at the message. Don't let Cloud hear that.]

You got that right, he'll fit right in.

It's kind of nice getting the chance to meet another guy from home, though. There's that too.

[starshower]

It is, yeah. I only wish that I could remember who he was. He says we're good friends, but I don't remember any of that.

[activatingcombatmode]

Hey, don't worry too much about that part. I know the rifts can do bizarre things to us when they bring us here. It's not your fault.

If you were friends once, maybe it'll be easier to get to know him this time.

[starshower]

Thanks, Zack. I hope so.

[She means that. It really is difficult not knowing these things.]

He tells me that he used to visit the bar often. The new one, from what I've heard. I just feel bad about it, you know? Telling someone that you don't remember them isn't easy.

[activatingcombatmode]

So you're saying...

We need a party in the bar soon.

[starshower]

That's what you're saying.

But is that something you think we might need?

[activatingcombatmode]

It might be fun to think about. The last time we had a big get-together was... Back in September?

Might be a nice way to welcome Vincent in if he does end up joining us.

[starshower]

[Okay, that part she giggles about.]

A welcome party for Vincent? I know I barely know him, but I wonder how he might react to that. You've met the guy, right?

[activatingcombatmode]

Hey! Hey! Throwing parties at the introverts has worked before in the past!

[He'll wrangle Cloud like that any day too.]

[starshower]

Well then, I'll let you take the brunt of the introverts when we throw a party at them. I'll not have any grumbling at my bar. 😉

[Says the introvert.]
