@ZD
Yo! I'm not in right now. Leave me a message.


((OOC: Zell may show messages to Jim Hawkins. If you do not want Jim to see/know, then please let me know.))

[ Oh- right. Cat. That would be a problem. Not that it's not eventually solved anyway when Zell puts Mochi down. Not that Mochi seems particularly happy about that, but work with them, furball. You'll get more attention in a second.

He's pretty quickly forgotten anyway in the face of Zell's question. Zack bites his lip a bit, brows furrowing slightly.
] I was kinda occupied at the moment. Needed to get back to you guys.

[ And that was a lot more important. But that doesn't stop him from shaking his head slightly, letting out a sigh. Didn't mean he couldn't have told them eventually. Especially when Zell had seemed happy to meet Cissnei back then. ]

Sorry. I should have told you. I just kinda found out the hard way.

[ Zack glances over at the mention of the new name. The photo the name belongs to... No, still no one he recognizes. But he nods all the same as he borrows his tablet back to go in and add both the file name and the name, itself, to the memo he's been keeping.

He switches it back before he returns the tablet to Zell's hands, but he never raises his gaze.
]

..So was Cissnei- well. Not exactly really friendly, I guess, but she was a friend. [ That much? That much he does know now from looking back and thinking things over. Those thoughts also... ] I don't know what you might have heard from Tifa back then, but while she had all reason not to trust Sephiroth, Cissnei wasn't involved with Nibelheim.

[ Bits from them, yeah. But he can't really say he'd covered a whole lot back then between the two of them. He hasn't really said much since when he thinks about it outside of some of what happened to him and Cloud. Though he wouldn't have been surprised if they had overheard some of the argument between Kunsel and Tifa far back. Between that and whatever Zell heard from Cissnei and Jim, it wouldn't surprise him he's got a rough picture.

But this isn't about ShinRa. -Not exactly anyway.

Zack nods faintly all the same. Looked after him... huh.
]

I'd only known her a few years, actually, before Nibelheim. She sure fooled me when I first met her. I didn't even realize she was a Turk. [ He rubs a bit too long at his five o'clock shadow as he briefly averts his eyes. ] She sure proved me wrong.

Back in Sector eight- Midgar. There was an attack going on around there and the Turks ended up dispatched to help fight it off, too. I ran into her while she was dealing with some of the Genesis clones.

[ And in it of itself is... a whole 'nother story. You know. Of complete crazy bullshit that's apparently part of both their lives for that matter. It still doesn't change the touch of sheepishness to his expression as he finally drops his hand. ]

I... kinda thought she needed my help when she didn't. At least the first time around.
heroproceeding: (It's how it's always been)

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2016-12-27 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
She sure was... [ Honestly? She had been. Way more than words could ever properly describe it to this day. That he'll never deny. ]

But, eh... Nah. We didn't get attacked too much, actually. Most of our problems were outside of the city. Monsters around the reactors tended to get more wild and dangerous and then, well. Of course, there were just some really nasty ones depending on where you lived.

[ Like malboros. Very foul ones, those, if ya know what he means. Yeeeeah. ]

No, this was... This was a man that deserted ShinRa and then tried to dismantle it 'cause of what they did. I can't blame him for why he was mad at 'em, but... I can sure as hell blame him for involving innocent people.

[ The mention of ShinRa again admittedly gets Zack looking at the floor a moment, thinking of a few conversations that seem so far away now. But at least at the mention of Cissnei again... There's the faintest smile to him. There and gone. ]

I was pretty lucky I did meet and befriend her when I did or otherwise me and Cloud... Well, me and Cloud would have been in a hell of a lot more trouble later. [ He bites his lip at the thought, glancing over at his bag. It doesn't take long for him to decide to drag it over though, stuffing a hand in the side pocket and pulling out a random pair of keys that ought to be familiar with Zell in the days where he tried to organize Zack's... organized hot mess. He tosses them to him lightly. ]

She followed me back to Cloud the first time I ran into her. She could have used him against me, but she got the Turks off our tail and gave me these instead. They were to her bike at the time.

[ Awesome really feels like an understatement in his eyes. Lifesaver seems more appropriate. But the thought dies pretty quick in his throat. A lot do, really. It's hard to focus on Cissnei when he's dropping a question like that.

Zack bites his lip briefly as he glances away.
]

You already know the gist of what happened at Nibelheim with Sephiroth, right? How he burned down the village. I was on that mission with him, too. So was Cloud.

[ Rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably, he leans back on the wall, closing his eyes. ]

So, we were witnesses that could'a told the world what really happened. And with Sephiroth being this big figurehead for the company, imagine how the public would's reacted.

[ There's a certain hesitance at first. He licks his lips and breathes. ]

...They hunted us down for about a year.

[ Regardless of how steady he tries to keep his voice, there's something of an edge to it. But Zack just shakes his head and pushes through, regardless. ]

ShinRa's... complicated. There's a lot of good people in it. A lot of people that joined because they honestly did wanna help people. But it's a company. And unfortunately, it's the big shots that make the final calls and if they want you out of the picture, they'll spin whatever story makes it work for them, especially if they're afraid.

[ He adjusts his posture, leaning on a bent knee now instead. ]

And they had plenty to be afraid of. There's a lot of people who don't like ShinRa and they have good reason to after some of the stuff I've seen. So, if word got out that their war hero burnt a village to the ground in cold blood, they would have suffered a big blow. Better to make it sound like he died tragically, you know?

That's one way to put it. Messed up. Unfair. Dishonorable. [ Zack rattles off the words one after another, but there's no bite to them like there might have been months ago. There's too much he's already worried about. Too much that's already messed up, unfair, and dishonorable. They live it day to day there.

It's tiring.

Zack closes his eyes, arm on his knee now and gesturing with his words.
] There was a lot'a stuff like that with ShinRa though. I just... There were a lot of good people under them, too. People who really did wanna help people. I know Cissnei cared a lot- hell, she was the one that let me know my folks were fine after that reactor blew at Gongaga. And you know Kuns, too. There were plenty'a people like that. We just wanted to do something good.

[ He shrugs a little. ] I guess... maybe I hoped if I stuck with it, I could be there to do the right things. You know? I wasn't ever expecting something like that. I mean we stopped him. That was what we were supposed to do.
heroproceeding: (BABY GOT BACK.)

I DIDN'T THINK OF A PRIZE FOR THIS.

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2017-01-30 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's hard not to notice the way Zell stares. Not when he's quiet for that moment as he is. But Zack just leans in on his knee more than he had before. ]

No... No, he didn't. But it's not like you expect yourself to be tied to some sorta crazy thing like that.

[ He stares hard at the floor for a second, a little on the lost side. But then he blinks and looks back up at Zell. ] But it doesn't change what he did. I don't think I could ever forgive him for that. [ No matter how off the deep end Angeal had gone, even he... even he hadn't gone that far. There'd been fear, but instead he'd... well. He was gone one way or another. Can't change that either. Zack reaches up to rubs his temples. ]

I know I wouldn't ever go back to ShinRa. Not after everything they did. But I sure hope whoever's still with them can turn around what they're doing and make things better. I mean if everyone who doesn't agree with them leaves, then it's never going to change.

[ Though the more people come around here that would have done some good for ShinRa, the more the chances feel like they're dwindling there. And that's if it's ever supposed to have a change. Maybe it's meant to end instead and if it is, well. Maybe that's better off, too. ]

but I'm too lazy

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2017-02-05 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cissnei's famil- oh. Oh. She had mentioned being raised within... Thinking about that makes his stomach turn though. Because while Cissnei had been on his side of things in the end, that hadn't accounted for anyone else. And no matter what good Tseng had demonstrated back then, five years can do a lot to someone. Can change a person. And the Turks, well. The Turks were definitely ones to follow orders without question, too. That's what had made them so dangerous in the first place, after all.

But it feels too callous to tell Zell that. Not when he seems to have so much faith in them. There's already far too much doom and gloom around here, so instead he just nods a little with a noncommittal hum. Nods and then nods again, this time murmuring out a:
] Yeah... That's the plan. Being a mercenary, helping the right causes... No strings attached. No one giving me orders I don't like. Doesn't sound like a bad gig, does it?
heroproceeding: (EEEEEEY BB.)

sdofushdf NOT LIKE THAT.

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2017-02-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, I know how to drive other things! [ He almost sounds offended. Almost. Except there's the faintest touch of amusement. ] Just 'cause Cissnei gave me one of those doesn't mean that's all I rode back there, buddy.

[ Sure, when he sits and thinks about it, he wouldn't mind having one, he guesses. But he hadn't exactly had the rights to be picky with what he drove back while they'd been on the run. Granted, that had also meant a few stolen vehicles in the end, too... Not exactly honorable or right, but when it had been a close call and he'd had no other choice- that or being recaptured, Zack had gone with the former if not reluctantly hoping he'd make it up to whoever one day.

That had been the hope at least, he thinks, as he rolls his shoulders.
] But yeah, would like to pick up something that'd get me around long distance. Was never one to stick around in one spot for too long. It gets kinda boring if you ask me.
heroproceeding: (Help half my face is cut off.)

[personal profile] heroproceeding 2017-02-23 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What? They totally count!

At the mention of airships, Zack's already raising an eyebrow.
] Nah, they've been just getting off the ground lately. ShinRa has this one big one, but that's about it. I take it they're big where you're from?
