[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?

[residentmerc]

Yeah. [ he has been such a shit to employers so. yes. ] But I'm still doing what I'm hired for.

[ so it's like. is it jobs he would do by himself if he was not paid... a mystery... ]

[bookpapers]

[maybe cloud loves side quests so much he'd do them for free]

Were you in the middle of a job before you woke up here?

[residentmerc]

No. Something a little more important than that.

[ ... he could add to that but ok ]

[bookpapers]

[




he looks at him expectantly like he thinks cloud will spill his life's story to him...]

[residentmerc]

[ i need you to know there's a very long pause ]

It's a long story, but... there's a man I've got need to stop before he destroys the planet.

[ JUST MILD SAVIN' THE WORLD JUNK ]

[bookpapers]

[MILD? IS THIS MILD??? Surprise flashes across his face,]

Guess we've got more in common than I thought. [they both get stuck on the same joke and now this....]

Could that guy be involved with all of this?

[he waves his hand around at the church, meaning the town, but maybe sephiroth is also god]

[residentmerc]

Your world in danger, too?

[ huh. but at that question he... looks around and like. seems to be heavily considering it ]

I wouldn't put it past him, but... It's not his style.

[ sephiroth WOULD make a horrible nightmare world to kill people, but he would not play the long game about it ]

[bookpapers]

It's not as imminent as yours sound, but yeah.

[and it won't happen for another 50 years with every update]

That's good. ...Or bad, if we have to deal with something completely different.

[residentmerc]

[ WILL D-GRAY EVER END... WILL LAVI EVER GET UP ]

It's better for everyone here if they don't have to deal with him.

[bookpapers]

[no.... that (yuul voice) binch is dead]

What does he look like? Just in case.

[residentmerc]

... Tall. Grey hair. With a really long sword.

[ cloud you could at least say silver damn don't age him ]

[bookpapers]

[cloud handshake kanda
aging white/silver-haired characters]

I'll keep an eye out. All of 'em.

[don't make an eye joke]

[residentmerc]

Doesn't sound like a lot when you've only got the one.

[ RUDE TO POINT OUT THE JOKE ]

[bookpapers]

I thought we had a nice rapport going...

[WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR JOKE BOND]

[residentmerc]

... Too far?

[bookpapers]

[grinning]

Just a little.
