[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.

[bookpapers]

[the slutty hip jut]

Yeah... I know what you mean. It's got everything you'd think when you hear the words 'haunted town'.

[looks around the barn]

...At least this place feels cozy!

[a rat looks at them]

[residentmerc]

[ cloud is the sluttiest virgin of all

he looks back at the rat. back to lavi. ]

... "Cozy"?

[ are you good bro ]

[bookpapers]

[the rat hmphs!!!]

...Besides the critters. But at least barns always have mice... so it feels almost normal.

[residentmerc]

The rat's not the only thing off about this place, but I guess it beats the one with the coffins.

[ he GUESSES ]

[bookpapers]

[he perks up at this for some reason,]

They do look pretty weird.... But they also look super comfortable...

[residentmerc]

[ VINCENT VALENTINE IS THIS YOU ]

... You ... want to sleep in the coffin?

[bookpapers]

[STOP HE'S NOT]

It's got that velvet lining! And it looks perfect for napping.

[residentmerc]

[ VINCENT VALENTINE???????? IS THIS YOU???????? ]

Knock yourself out. But don't come crying to me if you get buried during it.

[bookpapers]

[JUST BECAUSE HE LIKES TO SLEEP...]

I'm just saying that it looks comfy! I wouldn't actually nap there.

[he says, sadly]

[residentmerc]

You just think it'd be nice.

[ why is he sad about not taking a forever nap. ]

[bookpapers]

[LISTEN]

I like sleeping... I try and get a full eight hours every night, and then at least an hour nap during the day.

[residentmerc]

You really get that tired?

[ cloud, who every time he goes to sleep in game gets a thing that says 2 hours later before he is woken up again, ]

[bookpapers]

[2 HOURS]

Actually, I've got a lot of energy! [woah what a surprise] I just like resting too.

What about you? What do ya like to do?

[residentmerc]

[ it happens multiple times in the game it's a damn running gag atp

also SHIT NOT THE HOBBY QUESTION ]

I'm... a mercenary. [ that is your job, not your hobbies, buddy. ] Can't say I spend a lot of time resting.

[bookpapers]

[THATS A JOB… NOT A HOBBY]

How did you become a mercenary?

[residentmerc]

... Quit being a SOLDIER. Started taking jobs.

[ WOW WHAT A STORY. also rip to lavi who cannot hear the caps on soldier ]

[bookpapers]

[one day he’ll force cloud to write it out instead (no)]

What made you quit?

[residentmerc]

...Shitty employers.

[ that's the short of it. ]

[bookpapers]

[lavi nods like this short answer explains so much,]

Always a bunch of those.

[the military.... is Bad..... lavi is part of one well that means he gets it]

At least you get to be your own boss now. [is he.... is cloud his own boss.....]

[residentmerc]

... Sure, kind of. I get to choose the jobs I take, anyway.

[ it's all of them. he takes all the jobs, because they are side quests, ]

[bookpapers]

[cloud.......]

...Are you still in charge when you take 'em?
