Some of those around here seem to still have the voids... and a massive undead father lurking about
I thought you already did that...
Yes. The lack of a father can affect people *nods nod*
How does one have a father shaped void if they never met their dad? Does it still apply to me?
Hear me out... I could just adopt everyone and fill the father shaped voids you all have.
When Cloud clarified that he was a mercenary, things made a little more sense. It was a perfectly understandable and logical career path for a former SOLDIER. And who was Veld to criticize once someone left ShinRa? He was keeping a farm after all. "Your foot will definitely need some time to heal——
“After. I, uh… got the job when I met a girl in Sector 5. Crashed straight through her church.” He didn’t recall what was said earlier. He’s by no means forgetful under regular circumstances with conversations only spoken of a short while ago. However, he’d been so scatterbrained during and after
[And just like that Verdot recruited Cloud to the Turks 🤣🤣🤣]
(Sighs in relief. Finally, there’s hope in those eyes.) Okay… that’s great news then. I think I might be able to pass anything else and do well at this new role.
No, no, none of that. (He is all for slightly unhinged operatives)
As long as there’s no harsh psychological exam for enhancements… (Frowns.). It’s the only thing I probably wouldn’t pass.
Hmmm Tseng needs to be making sure the Turks eat properly.
Training is very tough. But I'm sure you can do it. We're very different to SOLDIER. I'm sure you'll pass all our exams with flying colours.
Thanks, mister. So, uh.. what kind of things will I be learning? Is it going to be tough? There’s— no exam quite like SOLDIER, is there?
(Veld nods) Good way to think about it. I'm sure we can get you recruited, I'll call in a favour. (Will tell Tseng to recruit Cloud)
If it’s work behind the scenes, she won’t— Well… she doesn’t need to know I’m not in SOLDIER. As long as I can protect her, it’s more than enough.
Yes, they're perhaps more important than SOLDIER. They don't get the glory. But they work hard behind the scenes.
They do? I thought they’d focus more on… well, investigations. Do they really get to do things as important as that?
|| Cloud may wake up recovered from fighting Sephiroth but a Turk 🤣
Of course! The Investigations Department are trained in combat. They even help protect the president!
(Listening to the alternatives, not comprehending what the investigation department actually is.) Would any of those ensure I can protect her, though? It’s all I strive to do. If I can be like Sephiroth in that sense, then she won’t be danger. That’s why SOLDIER was my first idea.
(Nods) Not all heroes are SOLDIER. There are many different ways to be a hero. Doctors and firefighters are also heroes... or people from ShinRa's investigations department.
I promised someone I care about that I’d become a First Class SOLDIER like Sephiroth. (Sighs. He doubts it’s doable if he keeps failing the exam…) I swore I’d do it. That I’d be a hero. I just— I want to protect her, y’know?
What was the promise? (He's sure he can twist it... he is still a Turk after all)
Not really..? I can’t think of anywhere my skills would be needed. (Looking conflicted!) I just— I gotta become a SOLDIER. To fulfil a promise I made to someone.
@loyalmercenary.bsky.social Have you considered a different career path, young man? Perhaps as a member of a very important and far mor elite ShinRa department? (One with an ironically higher survival rate in the end)
Seeing Cissnei lightens his heart immediately. It is good to see her happy and well. She held a special place in his heart having been raised to be the Turks. He had known her almost her entire life. "I hope you don't mind the intrusion. But I needed go come and see you." This was a personal—
Cissnei was informed by the youth coalition about a ..well rough looking traveller claiming he was her family. So she went to check it out.. And so she walked towards the place and opened the door. " So I heard someone was looking for me?" - 
|| If i keep seeing compliments Verdot is going to have to start doing seductive Sunday lol
Someone finding him attractive is amusing to Verdot. He feels old, run down, and very tired.
Hmmm, makes for a very different place around here.
he tends to have that effect on people.
President ShinRa turns up and the Timeline is suddenly much less raunchy.
