@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.))

[ There's maybe a longer pause before Zack finally replies. It's so subtle yet. ]

them huh. yeah. yeah I guess it would become a lot easier with the sorceress gone.



hey Zell. you know we're gonna get outta here right?

[swatsflies]

[ Zack, Zell is honestly the last person you have to worry about being pessimistic about how things will end. ]

Yeah, I know we are.
We're going to solve this and kick some ass.

I'm just not going back to my world.

[heroproceeding]

[ Never know with this place. It does Bad Shit to people. ]

not going back to your world. so does that mean you're going to Jim's I take it?

[ A part of him really isn't all that surprised. But still. It's not as if Zell has nothing back home from what he's been told. He has friends back there. Friends and a mother back there and a world that's found peace. Not experiments and betrayal and death.

But for all Zell's shown in times where emotions run high to act before thinking, this is something that's had plenty of time to be sat and thought on. And if it's what Zell wants, it's likely been what he's already thought through for a while now. ]

[swatsflies]

Yup! Going with Jim to his world.

[ With everything he's leaving behind he has thought it through for some time now. With his world being in good hands, he knows he doesn't have to worry. ]

[heroproceeding]

well I guess you should go. got business over there anyway right? gotta get his mom's approval and I don't think Kunsel counts there.

[ It's a stupid tease. The dumbest tease, but he saw that mom comment the other time. ]

seems like it'd be a nice place to go anyway. Jim says it's kinda boring but quiet and boring seems like it'd be a load off right now. warm food and beds would be a good bonus too.

[swatsflies]

Hey, I thought he was your mom.
You don't really sound too sure.

[ His attention does shift over to Jim, who is also messaging Zack. He thinks for a moment before finishing his message. ]

It does seem like a great place.
Breathable space. Could you imagine?
The plan used to be going to just visit when I had the chance.

[heroproceeding]

I already had one mom that used to hover over me. I don't really need another.


but yeah. the space thing DOES seem pretty cool. it's hard for me to imagine it cause it's not like WE'VE gone there yet ourselves. but that doesn't mean it's not possible. but the BREATHING thing. I'm DEFINITELY gonna have to get used to that idea. still pretty weird.

so what made you change your mind?

[ Give or take they can go and just... go wherever they want. He's not so sure that will even be a thing... but it would be nice. ]

[swatsflies]

[ Hovering moms is a foreign concept. ]

First space trip and it's going to have breathable air.

Because I have a new family.
And I have things I want to do. Places I want to see.

[ And someone he wants to spend his time with long term. ]

[heroproceeding]

[ It takes him a bit to respond back though maybe it's not an odd thing, really. Maybe not if Zack's been... busy with something or other. Maybe he's not sitting there feeling tight-chested like his heart's being squeezed tight in a fist. ]

then I don't see why not. Jim always says Benbow's not very exciting but that sounds dead wrong to me. especially if there's people worth being with there too.

[swatsflies]

r u making out with kunsel
dude that's not how u help donate blood

[heroproceeding]

IT TOTALLY IS

[swatsflies]

Yeah. It sounds like a great place.
Even if there isn't an ocean.
I'm taking him to my world for at least a trip or something.
He needs to try actual surfing!
And shorts. Could you imagine him wearing swimming trunks?

[ It's a pretty funny image given how he seemed to be with Tifa's old clothes too. ]

You and Kunsel can come too.
Gotta show you both how we do it SeeD style!

[heroproceeding]

I think he'd die if you tried to get him into shorts. man could you imagine him GOING to a beach like that with all those girls in bikinis?

[ Not to mention all the other shirtless men. RIP Jim Hawkins. He knew thee well. ]

but surfing sounds fun. believe it or not I've never done it before. and I don't think Kunsel has either. I think he'd have a blast with that.

[swatsflies]

Guess only one way to find out how he'll react.

And it wouldn't be far from places for Kunsel to plug in if he needs it.
Balamb is also a tourist attraction.
He can pick up on a lot of information.

[heroproceeding]

well THAT'S good. you know Kunsel and his information addiction. I could swear his tablet's melded to his hand by now.

kinda crazy to think of Balamb as a tourist attraction though when it was also a school too. unless it's not anymore?

[swatsflies]

The school is named after the town.

[ Which is also the same name of their island. ]

There's fishing, too. If you're into that.

[heroproceeding]

OH. oh okay. I get you now. guess that makes sense.

[ It's not the first time he's heard of a school being named after the town it's situated in. Or was situated in at any rate. ]

can't say I'm into fishing though. a little too much waiting involved. maybe Kuns would be up for it?

dont' want your hands all over a rod with Kunsel huh

[swatsflies]

I keep imagining him trying to fish with the helmet on.
Wearing a fishing vest with it.

[ The image is funny. ]

He'd like his hands all over a different rod bb

[heroproceeding]

[ Zack's actually chuckling over on the other side of the tablet, even if Zell can't hear it. ]

he'd look ridiculous!

imagine if we put all those weird hooks and stuff all over his helmet when he wasn't looking.

[swatsflies]

Just attach magnets on the inside of his helmet and they will stick.
We should find one of those lures with a chocobo feather on it.

[ He's tempted to locate magnets and hooks just to bring it life. ]

[heroproceeding]

not sure if we'll find anything with chocobo feathers necessarily but they could be from some other kind of bird around here.

but the magnets? now we're really talking.

[swatsflies]

Angel would help if we told her. She might have something we could use.
Or maybe we'll get lucky and find a feather boa.

[ You know, after Zack dances with it... ]

[heroproceeding]

I might just have to ask her then and see if she can hook us up with something.

a feather boa though? OH. you mean one of those long feather scarves?

[ He would totally dance with it first, yeah. ]

[swatsflies]

We can use those feathers to make lures. And I still have paperclips we can make into hooks.

[ Some day they need to try a thing. ]

[heroproceeding]

but don't you need those paperclips to pick locks? I mean I'm all for pranks but I wanna make sure we have enough just in case you know?

but yeah! we could definitely use the feathers for lures. sure there's other stuff around too.

[ They definitely need to try the thing though. Kunsel will be so happy. Only not really, but details. ]
