[puts them in the barn even though we still don't have any demonic chickens tch]

Hey. [HI CLOUD. IS HE CARRYING HIS ABSURDLY LARGE BUSTER SWORD WITH HIM.] Seen any demons yet?

[drops the chicken part]

[residentmerc]

[ he doesn't go anywhere without his ridiculously big sword ofc he has it. he tilts his head and crosses his arms ]

No demons, but there's a lot of demon-like symbols. That count?

[bookpapers]

[his crown clown millenium earl innocence sword wow]

I would. Apparently a lot of people are kind of nervous about 'em.

[residentmerc]

[ DON'T INSULT THE BUSTER SWORD LIKE THAT ]

Well, it's kind of ominous shit. I can see why. [ he does not seem nervous himself, with the casual hand on his hip and all that ] It feels sort of staged, though.

Maybe the church heard us talkin' about the chickens... And that's why it picked you.

[hi cloud. lavi is appropriately covered up... unfortunately for him, "attachments" is projected on his headband anyway]

[residentmerc]

[ cloud does stare at the tattletale headband for a second, but he doesn't comment, because relatable that's none of his business

he's got the word sephiroth curled around his bicep like a love brand, because i think im fucking funny ]

More likely it was 'cause Aerith and I stayed here that first night. [ he doesn't seem too fussed about being dumped in the church... at least ... ]

[bookpapers]

[cloud... lavi appreciates you even if he's gonna be so fcking nosy in return, just look at the way he's peeking at cloud's love brand tramp stamp]

-- Aerith? You guys already know each other, or did you already become best buds?

[he feels like aerith would be capable of that]

[residentmerc]

... She's good, but she's not that good. [ stop he's moving his love brand arm away!! don't look at it!! ] We've from the same world. Yuffie, too.

[ sorry to mention you like an afterthought yuffie ]

w0 friday

[bookpapers]

[WHERE'S CLOUD Lavi will just head straight to him when he sees him,]

Hey -- was Yuffie with you last night?

[residentmerc]

[ do you want him to be holding a hand. anyway his voice is raspy from smoke or whatever who cares: ]

Yeah. She was around the pyre with us when the fog set in. Should be alright.

[bookpapers]

[THE BURNT CRISPY HAND I HATE IT HERE

lavi hears his very smoke-raspy voice. looks at cloud. looks at the HAND.]

Is that where you found...?

week 0, sunday...2

[residentmerc]

[ hi lavi idk where we are its the void ❤️ anyway: ]

You see the update?

[ gestures at the rulebook. ig. this is my starter now ]

[bookpapers]

[hi cloud wow crazy that the void is the outhouse actually huh]

Yeah. Nice of 'em, huh? And only a couple days late.

[residentmerc]

[ WE ARE NOT TALKING IN THE BATHROOM ]

Mm. Think it's more a warning about it not being our last time.

[LAVI IS IN THE BARN.... 2!!! he'll bounce on over to Cloud when he sees him because what's personal space!!!]

Hey! Wanna pet Hårgas?

[residentmerc]

[ I NEVER TAGGED THIS????? HELP YAYWON IM SO SORRY ]

Pet... what?

[ how'd you do that with ur mouth

also affection week cloud accepts the lack of personal space ]

week 1, friday

[residentmerc]

[ where lavi. everyone is grieving in normal sad ways but cloud is uh not good at that so when he sees lavi he's just checking to see how upset he looks before asking: ]

You see anything?

[bookpapers]

[why is this the funniest starter

Lavi surprisingly looks okay!! in that he doesn't look any different from last Friday -- tense in a way that he's clearly frustrated, but not deep in mourning because dgm grief therapy is terrible. in fact, he looks like he appreciates the question,]

I was at the theatre with Nona and Totty. The ground outside was wet -- muddy? It smelled like wine. And the stage had everyone's chests and cushions all stacked together in a pile. There was ukelele on top, and one of the chests had a bloody sleeve. Could be another arm again.

[sorry cloud for arm dos]

[residentmerc]

[ NOT ANOTHER ARM!!! LAVIIII

also look cloud is much better at doing work than he is at emotions please do not emotions at him ]

... If there's another arm, hopefully it's not from a cultist again. [ hmmm. bad. ] Why make a stack like that?

[bookpapers]

[GETS SEIZED BY SHADOWS IG, and as they do, a memory unfolds.

"Are you an Exorcist or not?"]

[residentmerc]

[ id forgotten hitler was in dgray

cloud isn't sure what to make of this once it's over, looking over at lavi with a frown to try to see how he feels about it. if he lets anything show. ]

... Just what was she up against? [ aren't you an exorcist too? is kind of implied ]

[bookpapers]

[HIS CHARA DESIGN IS SO.....!!!

Lavi would love to be Unknowable in this moment, but unfortunately he does look upset, which means now Cloud has to deal with someone's emotions.]

A single Akuma. Level Four. The first in all of history.

[as for the other question]

Both our weapons were damaged in our last fight, but Lenalee's... It tried to save her, which isn't something Innocence does. So Lvellie got the idea that it meant hers was evolving.

[ME HUNTING FOR UR PLURK AND NOT SEEING ONE]

I would have held onto my letters if I knew you guys were showing up today.

[residentmerc]

You and me both. [ embarrassing to write stuff only to have to talk to people... tch ]

[bookpapers]

[CLOUD... HE'S SO FUNNY]

But you'll still write me back, right?
