[Great. Another shadow. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.]

Honored to be another person's plaything. Really, I am.

[He can deal with that. He's dealt with worse.]

I already said he wanted to destroy our world, didn't I? Sephiroth wants to bring about the Reunion and make his "mother" whole again.

[b_a_n_g]

Hardly. I'm using you to get to him.

[Honesty? There could only be one super dramatic asshole in these parts, and it should definitely be him.]

An Oedipus complex? With ideations of world domination. What an asshole.

[spikyheaded]

[Still sounds like the same thing to him.]

Finally something we can agree on.

Are we done with the twenty questions?

[b_a_n_g]

Certainly.

Unless you can be bothered to ask me questions. I might even answer.

[spikyheaded]

[As if Cloud was ever good with small talk... But there is at least one thing.]

76 mentioned that you were looking after Tifa here. Guess I should at least thank you for that too.

[And with that in mind, might as well shoot him a question too.]

What is this really all about? Wanting to get to know about Sephiroth and wanting to get to him. Can't be just that.

[b_a_n_g]

She has a husband, so my looking out for her comes down to teaching her to sashay.

[Still on the stalker topic? Maybe there was more than one invested in that.]

76 is mine. You're coming to the Harvest, so I need to know what dangers you are bringing with you. If I have to kill your friend to keep 76 safe, I won't hesitate.

[spikyheaded]

[Thanks for that reminder. Just going to brush that off for now.]

He's not my friend.

[Stop saying that there are.]

Look, if he's any trouble, you're free to deal with him. In fact, I'll be right there with you to help deal with him.

[b_a_n_g]

Whatever you want to call him.

If it comes to a fight, there is a high likelihood of casualties. Are you prepared to die getting involved? If not, I'll do it alone.

[spikyheaded]

I said what I said. Count me in.

[b_a_n_g]

Will Tifa punch you in the face if she finds out?

[spikyheaded]

I'm sure she'll understand. She might even show up herself.

[b_a_n_g]

He creates that sort response? I know what that's like.

[spikyheaded]

Been on the receiving end of it?

[He only assumes considering what he knows about Reaper so far.]

[b_a_n_g]

Of course. He and I are rather alike. The isolation that comes from being dangerous only emboldens us further; we have nothing more to lose.

[spikyheaded]

76 wasn't kidding when he said the two of you were the same.

[b_a_n_g]

He's a wise old bastard who has seen the best and worst of people. He's generally a good judge of character.

[spikyheaded]

Patient too from what I've seen. If he's able to tolerate both you and Sephiroth.

[b_a_n_g]

He has limits to patience, then he'll take a swing. Usually at me.

[spikyheaded]

Good to know.

[At least someone is keeping this guy in check. But for now, he'll leave things at that. All he can do is see how things play out from here and step in when he needs to.]

Just send me a message if Sephiroth tries anything.

[b_a_n_g]

Ha, I'll drop his corpse off on your doorstep if he does.
