edit: OH I SEE HOW IT IS TUMBLR YOU HID THIS UNTIL IT POSTED TWICE >:| well whatever i’ll have to figure out which one to keep
Today is the 30TH anniversary of Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters! You’ve probably seen me post about StarCon2... a lot... suffice it to say it’s important to me, haha. It was a huge influence on me as a kid! Even today bits of it still show up in stuff I make, like the Orz’s influence on the goopmonster thing/IDF in Handplates, the starmap in the background of some comics, people wearing a StarCon2 shirt, or the bright green of Quasispace for dimensional movement. I just love this game so much! I wanted to do something cool for the anniversary, so I figured hey, why not a big group shot of everyone all together! AND BOY IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH I improvised for a few of the races lower torsos since we never see them in-game, haha.
I love this game so much!!! And you can play it for free RIGHT NOW!!! YOU SHOULD DO IT!!!

What’s Your Role in the Tragic Play? - Q'ihnn Tia
Tumblr media
desperate narrator
this story is a cycle, and you're spinning around it like a hamster in a ball being tormented by a cat. you know how this story ends. after all, you've told it a thousand times. but you try to change it every time. you love the people in this story more than anything. so watching them fall victim to the narrative breaks you in a way you can't begin to describe. but all you can do is tell the story── their story── with tears in your eyes. you're prone to anxiety and feelings of helplessness. you have so much love in your heart, and for once you wish it would change something. it didn't. it doesn't. it won't. but you refuse to stop telling the story. and you refuse to stop loving the people in it. in this way, no one is stronger than you. you just wish being strong hurt less.
quiz is here!

Been having long weird dreams recently. In one dream I bought little Lars (Tekken 8) figure to a 5yo boy since his mother didn't buy it to him.
In other dream dead hamsters, apparently my pets which I had forgot to feed, became bloody mass and then turned into tiny monkeys!
Last night I had long weird dream. At first I tried to buy a gift to my sister's best friend since she got married. I found NOTHING! As my last effort I tried to buy her a bag of noodles but I didn't get them either! However, I got myself nice little Machamp figure, ahah!
Then, in the same dream, I was in huge bathroom sitting on the toilet already with pants on when Cid (Final Fantasy 7 (remake)) came in to use other toilet. He chuckled at me saying I could do my business and added "Ladies first." I playfully snorted back at him saying I will NOT do that nor even drop my pants as long as he is there. I think he left and gave me my private moment.
Next I was outside and near my local market. This new fusion version of Goku and Vegeta was there (a version which, for my knowledge, doesn't exist here on physical world since I've never seen that for in anime / movies). He was nuts without a nose, this weird spark in his light yellow eyes as he kept going on Krillin, telling all kind of things. Krillin left and the fusion time ended, Goku and Vegeta separating. Vegeta was in his normal form but Goku was actually Vegito (if I remember the name right). He kept talking while I was shown small tree near my local market (that tree doesn't exist). It had big dark green leaves and it made light orange flowers, big ones, and they turned into pumpkins! Vegito kept explaining to Vegeta, who kept nodding with little grin, how they both can manipulate that tree with their thoughts, making it bloom and produce those pumpkins nonstop since those pumpkins were special. They were able to cure dementia and other disease which I don't remember anymore but it was something which doesn't have medication at all.
This same tree also had something to do with Cid and, apparently, you could romanticize him with it! :'D
Dream kept going on and next I was outdoors at the base of little path which went up,past huge red rocky walls. My sister and brother were there with me and I tried to tell them this same dream what I'm telling here now. However, my bro kept interrupting me and my sis didn't pay much attention to me either :'D She was holding a gargoyle statue. It was sitting with wings open, keeping a crystal ball between it's legs. I said "Oh wow, that's amazing." when I saw it. Sis put it on one stone shelf and this gargoyle multiplied. Now there was 3 of them, them all being connected to each other, sitting in a row. I think they all were the same looking and in same position as the first one.
At the end of the dream, now that I was able to tell my dream to my sister, I actually, somehow and by accident for sure, had ended up romanticizing Cid with that damn little tree and it's pumpkins! :'D But it was nice to get cuddles from him! I always thought he would smell bad since he smokes and all that but no, he didn't smell bad at all! Plus he had great humor, ahah! I giggled so much with him :D
Lastly: I also was checking my bank account in my dream, noticing I had got some bonus money 4,111€! I hope this is a good sign! Also, during the dream when I was near my local market, I saw a luggage outside which was black but it was FULLY covered with big clear diamonds! Maybe another good sign?

Cinderella and the Secret Prince (2018)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
There's something particularly devastating about watching a bad movie that could’ve been good if circumstances beyond the filmmaker’s control hadn’t mucked things up. Right before the end credits of Cinderella and the Hidden Prince, we see concept art of what the characters should’ve looked like. They look great. As good as anything Disney has put on-screen. I'm certain the voice actors saw these images and got all excited. I can picture the art director/character designer telling their friends and family about this animated fairy tale they were working on and then dying of shame once they saw the final product.
Ella “Cinderella” (voiced by Cassandra Morris) is forced by her wicked stepmother and step-sisters to work as a scullery maid in her own home. When her mouse friends Alex (Chris Niosi), Manny (R. Martin Klein) and Walt (Tony Azzolino) discover an apprentice fairy godmother in the woods (Crystal, voiced by Kirsten Day), Ella gets the chance to go to the royal ball and meets the kingdom's prince. Unfortunately, Olaf (Stephen Mendel) isn’t a prince at all. He’s a puppet of the Wicked Witch (Stephanie Sanditz), who has transformed the real prince into a mouse!
If you’ve had the misfortune of seeing 2012’s Cinderella 3D, this one’s cut from the same cloth. Ugly characters are REALLY ugly but not in an intentional way. The "handsome" prince has his eyes set just a bit too far apart, making him look like he’s a fish man. Cinderella’s mouse friends (well, two are mice, one’s a hamster) are hideous creatures whose size changes from scene to scene. At best, this looks like a bargain-bin knockoff of Tangled. Most of the time, it doesn’t even reach the level of Happily N’Ever After. Some assets were obviously taken from an animation library because you can see their cycles end in the middle of a scene.
Despite the lackluster visuals, you can picture the movie this could've been if it weren’t trying to tell the Cinderella story. When you think of the classic fairy tale, certain elements come to mind: a poor girl forced to do labor, a fairy godmother and most iconic of all… a crystal slipper left behind at midnight. That last one? not in this movie! Instead, we have a quest for a magic ring to restore the not-so-secret prince to his human form. This mission takes over the entire film, which would be fine if it was what we’d signed up for.
As Hoodwinked has taught us, all could've been forgiven if the writing had done some heavy lifting. At several points, it feels like there are scenes missing. One moment, Cinderella and her friends spot a colossal ice mountain all the way across the forest. Seconds later, they’re inside, exploring a cave that looks like it belongs to a completely different film. The characters are thin, unlikeable, or both. At several points, the story contradicts itself. We learn, for example, that the prince was turned into a mouse when he was five years old. When he’s restored to his true form, he suddenly knows how to ride a horse and is an expert swordsman. Did he master these skills when he was a toddler? Then there’s a reveal about the evil witch that makes no sense and an epic conclusion that raises far too many questions. It’s clear some people on the team were trying but they were outnumbered by people who just didn’t care.
You can appreciate a film wanting to take a familiar story in a new, fresh direction but good intentions don't mean anything if the end product is kind of ugly, often annoying and poorly written. Don’t get me started on the one musical number. It’s so bland and generic you'll forget the lyrics as soon as the following line begins. Even for little kids who don’t discriminate, Cinderella and the Secret Prince would be a hard sell. (May 7, 2021)

Temptation - Chapter 01
Final Fantasy VII
RudTi (+ a couple of other ships that will be revealed along the story)
Eventually shameless smut
Tifa and Cloud live their daily lives in Edge, which seems to be finally safe now that Vincent has defeated Omega and Deedground. However, the couple’s life is not quite what Tifa has hoped for. When she cannot find happiness in one direction, the offer may come unexpectedly from another.
Tumblr media
The Shadow of the Turks
Omega's carcass hovered in the sky, recalling the events of recent weeks. Tifa could not take her eyes off it. Vincent had destroyed Omega, ending the life of an entity imagined to be immortal. Now it revolved around the planet, perhaps forever, like a vaguely shaped moon. Alone. Alone. In emptiness.
The sigh erupted from Tifa's lips. She snatched her dark brown, long hair behind her ears and grabbed the shopping bag again. Denzel was still in school and Cloud somewhere. Every work gig seemed to be longer than the last one. Was it quite necessary to take deliveries that were going all the way to Junon? Yes, Edge's internal freight transport would have thought enough to be done. The truth seemed to be that Cloud did not want to spend time at home with Tifa and Denzel. Tifa did not know why Cloud was fleeing. Didn’t Sephiroth’s shadow still agree to let go of him?
“That looks heavy. Can I help carry it?”
The question in a warm tone swam into Tifa's ears just as she was about to straighten up. She looked up and saw a bald man whose eyes could not be separated from behind the dark glasses. The dark suit sat perfectly on the man, but he did not fit the shopping street. Other people gave them long glances and circled the man a couple of feet away. At least the Turks’ shadow refused to detach its grip from the former Midgars.
“Thank you,” Tifa said.
So much had happened that someone had to let go and look ahead. Tifa could start this and only then demand the same from others.
“Rude,” the man finally introduced himself. His fingers touched Tifa's fingers as he grabbed the handles of the shopping bag. They were warm and rough fingers. Pleasant.
“I know,” Tifa replied, raising a smile to her lips.
When was the last time Tifa had smiled? She did not remember. Maybe when Vincent had been found in the crystal cave again. There had been something special at that moment. The end of the era, the beginning of a new one.
For everyone else except Tifa and Cloud. They walked in the same circle where Tifa always ran a little behind Cloud. Maybe it had already started when… when Aerith had come into the picture. Tifa was not bitter, but things had just changed. Derailed on a track which direction she could not determined. And now they were here. In an endless hamster ball with no chance to jump off the ride.
"To the 7th Heaven?" Rude asked.
“There,” Tifa replied, getting her feet moving.
Rude adjusted his steps to Tifa's pace. More long glances, but Tifa got a nod as well. The former inhabitants of the slum had moved to Edge, and many did even better than before. There was enough work in the developing city. If you looked at the big picture, things were really in good shape. Only Tifa was stuck. It was not like her wallowing in things this way but breaking out of the spiral was surprisingly difficult.
"Were you shopping?" Tifa asked.
She did not know how to do small talk with Rude. They did not really know each other.
"Actually, I was coming to 7th Heaven."
Rude’s words made Tifa startle. She glanced at him sideways. There had been a time when seeing the Turks in the neighborhood had not been a good sign. Chills keep coming back as did the echoes of the past.
“It will be few hours before I open the bar,” Tifa said.
"I'm looking for Strife."
Tifa startled again. Chills came back. Maybe she should just grab the shopping bag back and run away.Like it would have helped. Rude knew quite well where 7th Heaven was located. He would find there with or without Tifa. He had even occasionally visited the bar with Reno.
“Cloud is at work,” Tifa replied.
"I can wait."
Tifa had nothing to add to that. She closed her mouth and slowed her steps further. What did the Turks want from Cloud? Was it related to Rufus Shinra? The questions did not rise to Tifa's lips, though they swirled in her mind like a hurricane.
They were at the door of the 7th Heaven far too quickly. Tifa dug the key out of her bag, slid it into the lock, and finally jerked the door open. The air conditioning in the bar hummed. Tifa had taken Shelke to the WRO’s office just before going shopping and Denzel would not be out of school for a couple more hours, let alone Cloud back from delivery. It would be a downright miracle if he showed up before night.
Do I really have to entertain Rude until then?
“Can I have the bag? I take them to the back room,” Tifa said and held out her hand.
“I can carry them all the way,” Rude replied, stepping in without asking permission.
Tifa muttered her thanks and led them across the bar to the door that led to the kitchen side. She jerked open the refrigerator where the household items were stored. Rude picked up the bag on the next table and began emptying its contents. He picked up each product from the bag and handed it to Tifa as if he had done an important and interesting job and did not have to be a maid in the middle of his workday.Tifa pressed the refrigerator door shut and leaned her back on it. Rude folded the shopping bag into a neat bundle and placed it on the table.
“Would you like something to drink? I can make coffee,” Tifa said, pointing in the direction of the coffee maker.
"Thank you."
Rude roared in the middle of the kitchen for a moment but ended up at a four-person table set on the back wall. The window gave the bar to the backyard, where Denzel usually kept his bike and Cloud his motorcycle. Now both were gone. Tifa was alone. Alone with Rude.
The gurgling of the coffee maker tinted silence. Tifa dug the mugs out of the closet and placed them on the counter to wait.
“Milk? Sugar?” she asked.
"No thanks."
Tifa nodded at Rude's response. It seemed that Rude liked to drink his coffee black. The information came to mind instinctively, even though Tifa did not really need it. The Turks were not regular customers of the bar, let alone the circle of friends of Avalanche. Why did Tifa even care how Rude wanted to drink his coffee? It would have just been better to pour in the milk without asking, give a slightly rude impression and thus evict him away without saying directly that Tifa did not actually want him here.
Despite her thoughts, Tifa poured coffee into mugs and sipped milk to hers. She placed the mug in front of Rude and sat opposite him.
"What you want from Cloud?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, it's confidential."
"Did Rufus Shinra send you?"
"I can not tell."
That meant yes. Tifa sipped her coffee without knowing how to continue the conversation. It was easy to talk to customers. Now suddenly, she had no words. She was sitting in front of Turk, whom she had not really spend time with, if not counted the times they had fought each other.
"Do you always wear sunglasses?" Tifa finally asked as silence already began to sting between the ribs.
Rude coughed at his coffee mug, put it on the table, and grabbed his glasses. In one smooth motion, he lifted them, snapped the handles against the lenses, and placed the glasses in the pocket of his suit.
"Sorry. I know it's rude to keep glasses inside.”
Rude's eyes were deep brown, beautiful downright. Tifa had not expected to see such eyes in a man who worked for Shinra and got rid of wrong people and cleaned up the traces. How could gentleness and warmth be conveyed from the eyes of such a man?
“Do you have to spend a lot of time like this? Alone?”
Rude's question startled Tifa once again. She lifted the coffee mug to her lips and weighed the answer in her mind. How would she have responded if Yuffie had asked the same thing? What if the questioner had been Vincent? Or Shera? Barret and Cid would not have asked such a thing. Could Rude be treated like a friend? Or even like a mutual?
“Cloud is busy at work,” Tifa said at last. “But I’m not alone. Denzel is mostly at home in the afternoons, if he doesn't go out with friends, and Shelke keeps me company as well.”
“Denzel? That Midgar orphan?”
Tifa nodded.
“He has settled here well. He is like a child of my own.”
Rude nodded. Tifa spun her mug.
“I should probably start the dinner soon. Reeve will bring Shelke back at four o’clock, and that’s when Denzel will come from school too,” she said.
“Don’t let me bother you,” Rude replied.
Tifa kept the sigh inside and focused on her coffee. It seemed clear that Rude was not going to leave until he saw Cloud. Unfortunately, Cloud did not always come home even for the night. Perhaps she should have told it to Rude, but for some reason Tifa did not get the words out of her mouth. Her stomach was trembling, and her muscles felt tight. It was a miracle that the mug did not shake in her hands.
Rude sipped his coffee in peace as if enjoying his statutory break in a cafe. Tifa emptied her own mug and got up from the table. She put the mug into the dishwasher and began digging for groceries from the cupboards. While working her spine twitched in the same way as she was walking across the terrain in a dangerous place and had to fear an attack. The past had left its mark, and right now Rude was remining of everything that had happened.
The vegetable-meat stew was not Denzel’s favorite food but Shelke ate it surprisingly happily. Tifa spun the meat into the pan and began chopping the vegetables. The steady knocking of the knife was combined with the ticking of the clock and the rustling of the meat in an otherwise quiet kitchen. Rude was frighteningly silent, perhaps out of professional habit.
Suddenly the pain cut through Tifa's left index finger. The knife fell to the floor with clatter and the carrot pieces stained with carmine. The exclamation escaped her lips and mingled with the whining of the chair’s legs. Before Tifa even realized it, Rude had snatched the kitchen towel and pressed it folded against her finger.
The scent of dark roasted coffee and musky aftershave wrapped around Tifa. A warm and rough hand held her hand while the towel turned red. The pain throbbed in her finger, but a sudden feeling of warmth vibrated at the base of her abdomen. A feeling that should not even arise in this situation.
"Where do you have first aid supplies?"
Rude's voice swam in Tifa's ears, his breathing felt in her neck. Tifa could barely tell that the first aid kit was on the bar side under the counter. As Rude marched out of the kitchen, Tifa was left to press the towel against her finger and wondered when she had last been so close to anyone. She had hugged Yuffie a few weeks ago, but otherwise… Well, Cloud and she had… maybe last month…
“We should rinse the wound with clean water,” Rude said and reappeared next to Tifa.
When Tifa did not get the word out of her mouth, Rude grabbed her hand and removed the towel from the wound. The wound was not properly visible in the middle of the blood, but Rude's grips were certain as he opened the sink faucet and guided Tifa's hand under the water. Tifa was unable to remove her gaze from the finger from which the blood was wiped with the water into the sewer. The coolness caused the pain to subside.
Rude pressed the tap and raised Tifa's hand. He patted the wound dry with a clean part of the towel before starting to bandage her finger.
“The wound is clean and doesn’t look very deep,” he said. "I'd estimate no stitches are needed, but if it starts to bother you, you might want to show it to a doctor."
It certainly had the longest comment Tifa had ever heard from Rude’s mouth. The grip of the rough hand only came off her fingers when the left index finger was in a neat and careful package.
“Once the wound has healed, the treatment can, of course, be completed with cure materia,” Rude continued. "However, Shinra's policy is to reduce the non-essential use of the materia as much as possible for nature conservation reasons."
“I’m pretty sure that I’ll survive without a cure materia with this one,” Tifa replied.
So, the Shinra company was really thinking about conservation nowadays. Rude thought about conservation. There was something calming about it. After all, Reeve had said couple of times that Shinra’s policy of using mako and materia had changed. Maybe Tifa had even seen hints of it, but only now at this moment did the change seem more concrete.
Rude grabbed Tifa by the shoulders and pushed her to sit. He picked up the knife from the floor and washed it while Tifa watched. The bloody carrots ended up in the trash, and Rude chopped the remaining vegetables into the pot. He pushed the meat with a turner and eventually tipped them into the pot as well.
"What else comes to this?" he asked, and Tifa was no longer sure what was going on.
This kind of things just did not happen.
Tifa listed the ingredients and watched as Rude actually dug everything up, added them to the pot and finally pushed the pot into the oven as if he would be accustomed to tinkering in the kitchen of mutuals. Did this mean that Tifa would have to ask him to stay for dinner?
~ o ~
Denzel spun the food on his plate and Shelke was not eating her serving either. Tifa tried to ignore and focused on her own portion while going through what was expected during the evening. The bar would open at six, and the evening would be busy. Denzel had to get homework done before that, and it would be good to have a moment to talk to Shelke so that she could settle into the family better. It was so difficult to try to raise a 19-year-old woman who was imprisoned in the body of a 9-year-old and whose mind had probably suffered from the cruel treatment of Deepground. Tifa could not even understand what was going on in Shelke's head.
"Who was that guy who was here a couple of days ago?" Denzel asked suddenly and looked up from his plate. Eyes tapped straight to Tifa.
“Just an acquaintance,” Tifa replied.
Denzel had come home just after Rude had angled the stew from the oven. At the time, the boy had just glanced at Rude and disappeared upstairs while announcing that he was not hungry. On any other day, Tifa would have demanded him to eat, but this time she had let it slip. Eventually, she had eaten with Rude alone, as Shelke’s mako tank visit had took longer than expected and Reeve had only brought her home at the evening. Cloud had not even appeared for the night, and Rude had left the scene after groaning at the bar until ten in the evening.
Now, however, Cloud sat at the table and turned to look at Tifa. His eyes hit the wrapped finger again, which he had even asked when he got home. At the time, Tifa had said that she had been sloppy, and the matter had not been discussed further. Only now did Tifa realize that she probably should have told Cloud that Rude had been waiting for him all evening.
“It was Rude,” Tifa told Cloud. “He wanted to see you and he waited here until ten o’clock pm…”
Cloud’s gaze glued more and more tightly to Tifa’s finger.
"Did he…?" Cloud left the end of the question unspoken.
“I cut my finger, and Rude helped with the bandage,” Tifa replied.
The whole essence of Cloud relaxed as Tifa watched, and he began to eat his portion again. Denzel followed the conversation with more interest than would have been necessary, but Shelke again seemed immersed in her own world.
"Aren't you interested in why he was waiting for you?" Tifa asked.
Cloud shrugged.
"I already know. Reno told me Shinra's greetings yesterday. "
"And?"
"It's classified."
That's what Rude had said too, but now the tension sneak to Tifa’s temples. Sometimes it seemed that every single thing with Cloud was classified. The information had to be dug out with pincers. If Tifa remembered correctly, it had been different before Aerith died. Sure, the problems were to be expected knowing Cloud’s past, but how much secrecy and squabbling was too much? Tifa would have given a lot if she had gotten back the Cloud who knew how to joke and throw sarcastic comments. At times, she saw glimpses of that Cloud but never got a decent grip.
"Why is it classified?" Denzel asked.
“You should eat your food,” Tifa told him, pointing to a plate from which he had not lost a single potato yet. It was as if she had twisted with a three-year-old, even though Denzel was closer to pre-teens than defiant age. Or were those two the same thing?
“I’m not hungry,” Denzel replied.
Tifa sighed. Maybe the boy was telling the truth. It did not matter as long as he did not steal biscuits from the closet tonight. Somehow Tifa had not been able to imagine her life would be like this. She spun in a circle formed by a bar, taking care of the children - if Shelke could be called as one - and waiting for Cloud to come home.
Denzel got up from the table and left his plate. Before Tifa even had time to open her mouth, he had already disappeared upstairs.
“You could sometimes say something to Denzel, too,” Tifa told Cloud.
“Like it would help at all.”
“It could help. Maybe Denzel needs a man’s support for his life. I can't give it, no matter how much I want to.”
“I’m not a good educator. Isn’t it enough that I try to make a living for all of us?”
"I work, too, you know."
"But you manage these things better anyway."
Tifa said no more. Circles. Everything revolved in circles. Life was one great circle from which one could not detach. What if you just simply stopped? What if she would just stop caring and let Cloud withdraw, Denzel not eat and Shelke immerse yourself in dreams? Why should she had to be the one to keep the house of cards upright if no one else agreed to try.
Tifa got up from the table and threw Denzel's food away with her own. She wiped her hand on the apron before hanging the garment on the rack and marching to the bar to arrange the bottles. They would not have been needed to arrange, but it was easier to do something than not to.
Cloud soon appeared from the kitchen to the bar and wandered aimlessly for a moment before decided to sit at one of the tables. Shelke followed him soon after.
“Vincent Valentine,” she said suddenly.
"What about Vincent?" Tifa asked.
"Vincent Valentine is behind the window."
Tifa turned her gaze to the window and noticed Shelke was right. Vincent waved his hand, and Tifa hurried to open the still locked door. Vincent had not been seen very often recently. Tifa suspected that Shelke was complicit, as she stared at Vincent all the time with a strangely dreamy look on her face. Maybe Tifa should have been more worried about that, too, but she just could not handle everything. Was it not enough that she had contributed to saving the world three times?
Tifa greeted Vincent and let him inside. Cloud nodded from his corner table, where Vincent headed. Tifa went to get coffee for everyone and decided to sit with the men, even though right now she just wanted to shake Cloud.
"How are you doing?" Tifa asked and lower the coffee mug in front of Vincent. "Have you renovated your apartment in Kalm?"
“It’s already starting to look better. It was in rather good shape given the condition many other buildings are in,” Vincent said.
“Hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again,” Tifa said. She had to admit that the Deepground case had lifted her skin in the goosebumps, even though she had eventually been involved in it as little as possible. How many more times would some grimness be dug out of Shinra’s basements? People would have only wanted to live a normal life, but again and again the world around them threatened to be destroyed by the actions of Shinra company. When would it all end?
"How are you doing?" Vincent asked.
Cloud shrugged and tried to sink into his own coffee. Tifa forced a smile on her face and began to talk about Denzel's school success and how hard the boy was already waiting for the summer vacation. Tifa did not mention Shelke, but she could see girl’s gaze cling to Vincent's back.
"What has happened to your hand?" Vincent asked as Tifa pointed around in the middle of the explanation.
"I accidentally cut my finger; it wasn't a big deal."
“Fortunately, Rude was there to help,” Cloud said.
"That’s right!" Tifa said. "It would have been quite awkward to do all the housework all alone." She could not help the spike, which creeped in her voice instinctively. Cloud's expression soured a couple of degrees, but he said nothing.
"Why was Rude here?" Vincent asked and glanced from Tifa to Cloud.
“It’s reportedly classified information,” Tifa replied.
“Damn it, Tifa! You know that I can’t talk about work,” Cloud said.
Vincent leaned back at the table and sipped his coffee, looking to regret the entire visit. Tifa grabbed her own mug and got up from the table.
“I need to prepare to open the bar, so I’ll leave you to chat,” she said, hurrying away. She had almost arranged a scene in front of Vincent. That was not like her, and now something slimy meandered in her stomach. She should be patient with Cloud. He had to be given time to recover from everything. Denzel had to be given time to clear his rebellion and Shelke also needed time.
Time to run in a circle. Tifa wanted to either stop or rush forward. She was so tired, so bored. Why didn’t anyone ever ask what she would need?
No, these thoughts were selfish. Cloud was not intentionally tedious, he needed understanding Tifa was being unreasonable when trying to pressure Cloud to move forward. Everything would happen on its time and everything would be alright. Some day. Besides, Cloud was not responsible for Tifa’s happiness, she had to take care of herself… As soon as she had made sure everything was in place at the bar and things were going well.
~ o ~
The evening was busy, as Fridays always were. Tifa served one pint after another and tried to remember to give each one with a few nice comments. Maybe work could be easier? If she hired even one employee, she could take more free nights a week and spend more time with friends.
"Tifa?"
Cloud appeared on the bar counter with a cell phone in his hand. His face was again almost impossible to read, but Tifa decided not to even try this time. She would give space and understanding to him, life was not a speed run but a marathon.
“I have to… I got an urgent gig,” Cloud said. “Denzel came home just a moment ago and went to his room. And Shelke left upstairs as soon as Vincent left.”
“All right,” Tifa replied. "See you when you get home."
Cloud nodded and headed to the door. He glanced back to the bar before slipping into Edge's darkening night. Just a few minutes later, the motorcycle rumbled and disappeared to who knows where. A classified work gig. Yet again. In a place Cloud did not bother to mention. There was probably a good reason for that, though, and Cloud intentionally was not difficult. He just could not talk about his work, as he had said.
A young blond woman at the other end of the bar counter waved her hand at Tifa. Tifa hurried to the woman and was already fishing for a pint as the woman shook her head.
"I'm new here and I'm looking for a job," she said. "I have lived and worked in Junon at the bar before, so I thought …"
Tifa blinked. Had the Planet herself heard her?
“Marie,” the young woman introduced herself and handed Tifa her resume over the counter. Tifa grabbed it but barely caught a glimpse of the text. If a woman had even a little experience, that was enough.
"When can you get started?" she asked.
"At any time. It looks like you would need sick leave,” Marie replied.
"Welcome!" Tifa said, and this time a genuine smile gasped on her lips. "My hand isn’t as bad as it seems, but I could undoubtedly take a break."
After advising Marie of where to find everything, Tifa escaped to the kitchen for a moment and leaned her back on the refrigerator door. She could not believe her luck. Perhaps the appearance of Marie had been a gift for her patience, that she had persevered to move forward despite all the difficulties. This could be a new start of slightly easier everyday life if Marie turned out to be a good employee.
Tifa barely had time to clear her thoughts when Marie was already peeking through the door. Tifa straightened up and took a questioning look on her face.
“There’s someone here asking you,” Marie said. "I did say you were on a break, but… that guy is pretty scary."
The last words were a mere whisper, and the cold ripples run along Tifa's skin. She straightened up and followed Marieta back to the bar. It seemed she just had to forgot the break.
Marie slipped back behind the counter as the number of customers had not decreased. However, Tifa did not notice anyone but Rude standing in the doorway. Why had he reappeared?
Tifa forced a sigh down her throat and stepped across the bar to Rude. The man grabbed his sunglasses and pushed them back into the front pocket of his jacket so deftly that she could barely register the gesture.
“Cloud isn’t there tonight either,” Tifa said.
"I know."
Tifa would have liked to ask how Rude knew it, but again the words got stuck in her throat. The gaze focused on the eyes whose warmth she had noticed just a few days ago. Maybe that was why Rude wore sunglasses all the time. It was hard to consider a man with such a gentle look a threat.
"How's your hand?" Rude asked and at the same time opened the door of 7th Heaven as if he had been leaving right away.
Instinctively, Tifa followed Rudea to the terrace. She leaned against the railing and raised her left hand.
“Still hanging with me. Thanks again for the help,” she said.
Rude changed the weight from one foot to the other and brushed his bald head. Gone was the confident secret service employee Tifa was used to seeing. If Cloud had become an even more sullen, Rude had also experienced a peculiar change.
"So, Strife is a lot away from home?" Rude asked.
“He has a lot of work to do,” Tifa replied. She was supposed to stop at it, but Rude's face had a sincere look. Maybe it was sheer pretense - though Tifa did not come up with a reason for that - but something in that warm gaze made her tongue sing at that very moment. Suddenly she told how Cloud was way too far away, how Denzel was difficult sometimes and how Shelke was a little too much. Tifa would have liked to have seen Yuffie and Shera more often, but the chances were slim.
“Denzel is such a big boy that he gets along with Shelke at home for a few hours in the evening every now and then,” Rude said. "And you have time during the day."
“Yes, but Yuffie and Shera have their own jobs.”
Rude nodded. "I understand."
Tifa was not at all sure Rude really understood, but it would have been impolite to say so. Instead, she apologized for having opened up about her situation. After all, they were not friends, acquaintances at most. Former enemies.
"Do you ever want to go for coffee?" Rude asked.
Tifa shuddered and looked at the man more closely. Rude retreated half a step.
“It just sounds like you’d need company and someone who is a good listener. I’m just saying. Not a night date, just a coffee break at daytime."
"Don't you have to work?"
"Rufus is quite flexible in terms of working hours."
Tifa blinked at Rude but then turned her gaze to the terrace floor. How bad would it be if she took a little bit of time for herself? Sure, the offer came from a curious direction, but maybe this was a sign. In the same way that the appearance of Marie had to be a sign. It was time to take steps in a new direction. Open the door to new friendships.
“On Monday,” Tifa replied.

ALRIGHT MAGIC SCHOOL TIME
so ! what the girls study:
tzuyu's a moon druid under the nature department. if you don't know what a druid is, they're basically spellcasters that tap their magic from the primal forces of nature, and as a moon druid, tzuyu mainly uses her magic to transform into beasts to fight against those that harm nature. yes she's very sweet she can turn into a hamster but she can also turn into a giant constrictor snake
chaeyoung studies evocation magic as a draconic bloodline sorcerer. yes, many fancy words. evocation magic is basically using magic to manipulate pure energy in the environment, i.e. blow shit up. as a sorcerer, her magic stems from a particular phenomena, in this case her bloodline, and manifests itself in her proclivity for pyromancy (setting shit on fire)
dahyun studies under the divination department, which is basically spells all about knowing things, past, present, and future. she's a knowledge cleric, which means her magic stems from her belief and faith in a particular god. i'd say she mostly uses a crystal ball or tarot cards to cast her spells and see things, and her magic basically gives her photographic memory or smtin idk HAHA
mina is a warlock ! this means she's struck a deal or a bargain with an otherworldly deity or creature in exchange for fabulous power. in this case, she's made a deal with a dark power (that i'll probably reveal later on) in exchange for having spells that can alter space and time. as such, she's part of the dunamancy department (credit to wildemount for coining that name) and studies chronurgy, or the manipulation of time. did i mention she's an elf? yeah she's an elf, elf mina fits perfectly imo
sana is another sorcerer, this time a runechild sorcerer (credit again to matt mercer and the new tal dorei book !) she studies under the gnomish runes department. basically she's got all these runes on her skin which she uses to make wards that can protect her and people all around her ! neato !!!
jihyo's a bit of a nerd in the department of lore. as a wizard, her magic stems from practice and study, so yeah, nerd alert. she basically has a sentient spellbook that she uses to jot down notes and spells and stuff like that (order of scribes !) she's also the dorm manager ! bc dorm manager jihyo is always my headcanon
momo's in the elven rituals department, and that's because she's a half-elf studying bladesinging (damn high ac wizards) bladesinging is basically an art form that's supposedly unique to elves. it manifests through something called the elfsong, and elves can use it to sort of "dance" with a sword. very cool ! and very momo too !!
jeongyeon's a cleric like dahyun, except instead of knowledge, her domain is death. yep, jeongyeon studies in the necromancy department. except instead of being more of a zombie type necromancer, she's more of a "i will kill you" necromancer and most of he r magic is harmful and more about killing people. did i mention she has a scythe? yeah she had a scythe
nayeon is a half-fairy bard ! bards are unique in that they draw their magic from performance and song, which fits nayeon to a tee ! she studies glamour in the department of enchantment, and basically has a silver-tongue ! also bc she's a half fairy she's super popular and basically everyone likes her
so thats everyone !! im super excited for this au if u can tell hehe feel free to hit me up with questions if u have any !

you can also run a website that posts a name every year like ELON MUSK or who’s that one little gayass prageru guy with the chipmunk manner of speaking. and make that person die a weird msysterious gruesome self inflicted hamster death in that year and either it’d go completely unknown or people would be like this site is accurately predicting these bizarre deaths? and irl youll just buy a crystal ball and when people investigate you youll just be like im a little clairvoyant. i get strange and crazy dreams once a year of my grandma telling me when someone famous dies. I think it’s because of my diet in which I consume copious amounts of soy and soy based products

A robotic hamster, a crystal ball hologram projector, four hand-sewn tiny scarves in different colors, and last but not least: a store-bought vegan cupcake, with each item being more poorly wrapped than the other. They were being placed in front of the animal breeder’s door at exactly 12AM, the date being December 14. Not that it mattered; since the mechanic was fully planning on leaving them here and returning to his room as discreetly as possible without so much as knocking on the door, hoping the guy won’t figure out it was him that placed them there when he wakes up in the morning.
The cold weather would probably be enough to keep the cupcake fresh… and even if it doesn’t, he was already flustered enough about having had to buy one instead of making one — which he tried to do, but repeatedly failed at it, causing him to throw it all in the bin and simply… buy something better from the store. He just hoped the guy didn’t think however put this here didn’t just try to gift him whatever…
…He was doing all of this for rival-related reasons, of course. Rivals spend weeks preparing birthday gifts for each other. It was completely normal. The normalest thing ever, actually. Yeah. Sounds about right. Anyway.
Time to skedaddle.
Kazuichi wasn't the only one headed to the breeder's room in the middle of the night, Gundham himself only just getting back to the dorms after a rather...taxing day via a health scare with his mother. She had tried to arrange a bed for him in her hospital room so he wouldn't have to drive so late into the night, but it wasn't something they allowed, seeing that visiting hours were long over, and her stay was no longer an emergency after things had settled down. Sending a text to her to confirm he had arrived safely, he wasn't expecting an answer with such a late hour, and that was the way he would rather have it. It meant she was asleep, her woe's remedied long enough for her to get some much needed rest.
His birthday was far from his mind when he rounded the corner leading to his room, but a certain little sunspot milling about his door apparently hadn't forgotten. Catching Kaz just as he snuck away, Gundham didn't even try to hide his smile as he knelt down in front of his door to sift through what was left behind. It left a warmth in his chest as he gathered everything up, emotions free to be seen, should anyone have even been around as he opened his door with a fond shake of his head. "Sentimental fool..."

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes
It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.
And now, with the new year upon us, let’s reminisce and look forward to the days ahead.
(Sorry for the delay. Was out with family for long-delayed Thanksgiving & Christmas meetup.) 
Aries 
You think you’re not imaginative, but we all know better. Remember all those flip-book animations you made as a kid in the bottom corner of your textbooks in school? All the ones you got in trouble for? You can make new animations, more impressive animations, more adult animations… Make a set of Midnight Bowl Animations that are decidedly naughty and sell them to some bowling alleys! You could make a MINT this year! Good Luck!
Taurus 
There’s something you might not have thought about, and it’s good to remember. Dictionaries are Descriptive not Proscriptive! Meaning… a dictionary lets us know how a word is being used by people, not telling us how to use it in communicating. It’s not the way we’re taught to use one, but that’s how it is. So enjoy questioning every other reference material you’ve ever used.  
Gemini  
You’re going to have a few days trapped indoors with the bad weather. Time to haul out your old Kindle reader and see what’s still on it. Knowing how sturdy that thing is, it might still have a charge to its battery. And if you want a challenge, find your old Palm Pilot III and drop a pair of Double-A Batteries and see what’s still in the memory. Might still have contacts you’d forgotten about.  
Cancer Moon-Child 
Time for a Blast from the Past! We take you back to August 1998 when GeoCities was all the rage and you have to answer the question, “How do I generate the most page views?” Well, if you’re Canadian art student Deidre LaCarte of Nanaimo, British Columbia, you create the first Web Fad page and name it… “Hampton's Hamster House”! Yes, the Hamster Dance turned 24 this past summer. Aren’t you glad you lived through this point in history? 
Leo 
Competitive drone racing really is a thing. It’s like Pod Racing from the first Star Wars mov… Ok, not the FIRST Star Wars movie, I meant the FOURTH Star Wars movie… And, yes, Episode FOUR came out FIRST, and Episode ONE came out FOURTH. Look, just… Drone Racing! It’s a THING! Check it out this year! And stop being a pedant!
Virgo 
This week, start off the year with a “You Laugh, You Lose” video playlist, but go in intending to laugh. Ignore the rules and play the game your way. Have a good laugh at crows snow surfing on a car’s windshield. Chuckle at the horse rolling on top of a giant inflatable ball. And before you laugh too hard at the Try Harder Roller Skater video, make sure it isn't a video of YOU.
Libra 
Ok… We’re only doing this ONE MORE TIME! The chalice is crystal - engraved with an image of the castle. The flagon has a dragon and the last has a pestle. Right? Ok. So… the potion with the pestle’s in the crystal with… no, wait. Ok. The Dragon with the pellet’s in the castle with the… Hold up. (*Slower*) The potion in the palace has the pellet with the flagon and the vessel with the poison is the chalice with the brew. (*Beat Pause*) That.. that’s it, right? (*Others answer uncertainty*) You know what? Just buy the damned movie and figure it out yourselves.
Scorpio 
Let’s play “Six Degrees of Separation” starting with BBC1’s “Till Death Us Do Part” and ending with President Bartlet and “The West Wing”. Follow this now; “Till Death do us Part” was turned into “All In The Family” for the U.S. “All In The Family” had a spin-off called “The Jeffersons”, co-starring Paul Benedict as “Harry Bentley”... who was “The Mad Painter” on Sesame Street… which had a recurring character of, “The Woman”, played by Stockard Channing… who played First Lady Abbey Bartlet, married to President Josiah Bartlet on… The West Wing! Now you go out there on Trivia Night and knock ‘em dead this year!     
Sagittarius 
You know where everyone is. You know how to find anyone you don’t already know about. You know how to use the Home Depot better than The A-Team to take out anyone who richly needs it. But the best part is with the turning of the year, your last kneecapping incident has passed its Statute of Limitations… So! With your knowledge from that event, hire a lawyer and Patent that vinyl-disk launcher! 
Capricorn 
The winter storms have, if you’ll excuse the expression, blown over now. You can relax a bit. Yes, you need to make sure your car’s battery is still charged, but that shouldn’t be too tough. If you wanted to, you could make your own wind generator with an old ceiling fan, some wire, magnets, and a free weekend. And since you’ll be snowed in, D.I.Y. YouTube series are your friend.  
Aquarius 
We want the new year to treat you well, so how about planning for the NEXT new year’s party; the Chinese Lunar New Year! This time it falls on Sunday, January 22nd, so scope out a locally owned and operated restaurant and ask about their New Year’s Specials. Keep whole milk on hand in case the spices are a little too much for you.
Pisces  
Listen carefully. (*Read CAREFULLY*) “Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.” Those are the actual lyrics. That line is about a car - a hotrod like the Little Deuce Coupe that the Beach Boys sang about. So if you’ve been singing a line about feminine hygiene products, you’re doing it wrong. Please start the new year by learning the right lines. 
And THOSE are your Hobble-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.
