[pinksidekicking]

[ A few days after their conversation in the shop about swords, Nimona is taking a picture with this bad boy, and shows off some features it has. The thing is about as big as she is. ]

Whaddya think? Do I win?

[makoglow]

[ This kid... She really went and did it. Cloud is surprised and maybe a little impressed. ]

I'll have to test it first to be sure, don't you think?

text & picture

[pinksidekicking]

I found a ship that matches your eyes. It's clearly a sign that this ship was meant for you!

[ Cue the picture attachment of said ship. ]

This is much easier than trying to find a dress that we look good in.

[makoglow]

Are you trying to give me a hint here Nimona?

literally just in the middle of the night

[everblooms]

Super urgent!

[ And an attached video. ]

Got it? Great, give me your list.

[makoglow]

[ He clicks. Watches the video. Frowns. Puts the shellphone away and turns over.

100% intends to ignore it. But then. He can't. With a huff, he rolls over and takes it in hand. ]

What was that for?

voice > backdated

[flamekthunder]

Cloud, this is Eustace. Tifa is at my house.

[Just gets right to the point—well part of the point.]

[makoglow]

...Okay?

[ And this is a problem. Why? ]

voice / un: general-affairs

[general_affairs]

[ Answer your phone Cloud. This man will text you if you don't. ]

[makoglow]

[ If it's in the middle of the day, he will answer. If it is late at night? Expect a pick up and a hang up. ]

[pinksidekicking]

Soooo, what would you say if I said that I wanted to add a sweet knife to my collection? Or play with some squishy Jello?

Does your world have Jello or flan-equivalent food?

[makoglow]

Nimoa.

Explain.

[ You can't ask him that without context ]

voice / un: general-affairs

[general_affairs]

[ At an arguably reasonable time in the afternoon, Cloud's phone would go off, and lo and behold, one redhead's selfie popped up to betray who it was.

If he picked up: ]

Yo, blondie.

[ The greeting was innocuous, but the way his voice drawled was..dangerous. As he continued, he spoke with a playful little tut to his voice, clearly teasing. ]

'Heard someone said his first dirty word up on Elah.~

[makoglow]

New record. You actually got in more than two words before I get to hang up on you.

Voice, un: general-affairs. Literally three hours after the last call.

[general_affairs]

[ A few hours after his previous call, one redhead was back at it again with zero shame. ]

Scratch that--er. Well no we're still going to check out the abyss--BUT.

Meet up on Naughtilust first, you, me, and Zack. Guy's day out. Cat cafe first if you wanna go, I thought it'd be something you'd like, then drinks and dinner after. I've got some music on my phone downloaded, so guess what that means.

reno why

[makoglow]

What.

No?

Pass.

[cetra]

Cloud can I steer the ship pretty please?

[makoglow]

Do you even know how?

[ Pointless... He already knows he cannot stop her if that is what she wants to do ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Yo, Cloudy.

You know that dark haired, edgy guy with the floaty red cape hovering around? Vincent?

[makoglow]

Yeah, I do. Why?




He's not THAT edgy is he?

Christmas Gift

[lucky_e]

To Cloud,

Hello! I hope this letter finds you well! I know that it isn't much, but I still hope that you enjoy this holiday gift all the same.

Happy Holidays,

Santa Claus

[Cloud receives a motorcycle model and a dark, leather jacket! Also a plush teddy bear~!]

Winterstide Gift

[pinksidekicking]

[ She's just going to leave the gifts in his cabin in a pile, because how does she give gifts? It'll be obvious who it's from anyway.

There's a pair of pink and blond knitted wolves, a black sheepskin blanket, a strange new card game (it's Uno), and a World Best Dad shirt in black. ]

text // user: headhunt // late dec, late at night

[headhunt]

are you still awake over there, sunshine?

bruh it late at night for me lol

[makoglow]

Yeah I am.

[ Sleep and Cloud aren't always best friends ]

You're up late.

Hi pretend this isn't late, backdated to the 25th

[scooba]

[Cloud was one of the people whom he couldn't ever be more thankful for. Not only did he learn about his past but he was also willing to accept him as a friend. All he could do was just hope that Cloud liked his presents. As he gave him some chocolate chip cookies and a miniature figure of his sword, there is a note:]

Dear Mr. Cloud,

Merry Christmas. I hope you like your presents and thank you again for allowing me to be your friend.

-Freminet

text / un: general-affairs. Backdated to 1/5

[general_affairs]

Yo, Cloud.

What are you doing this Wednesday?

[makoglow]

Going to be tied up dealing with something.

Been working on this one for a while now.

text first

[starshower]

[It's later into the night after the bar's closed and everyone's gone when Cloud will get a message on his phone. She's lost count of the number of times she's typed and deleted, closed the messaging app and reopened only to repeat the cycle again before she finally takes a breath and sends.]

Hey Cloud? You still up?

[makoglow]

[ Oh it's pretty late isn't it? There's a frown, but he looks at his phone anyway. It's kind of a late night for him too. ]

Tifa? Yeah. I'm up.

delivery;

[activatingcombatmode]

[Guess what day it is!! Zack's one and only best friend's birthday! The big August 11th! The Eight One One!

Cloud will have a gift to open. Inside is what appears to be ... a ukulele. Zack thought it was funny and actually kind of cool. What if Cloud learned to play it?]

Yoo!! Cloudy! Happy birthday, man! Steak dinner is on me tonight!
-Z

later

[makoglow]

What am I supposed to do with this?

text

[emet_sulk]

Do you have time to test a prototype for me?

- Emet-Selch

[makoglow]

A prototype? Sure.

What kind?

Gift

[emet_sulk]

[ At some point early in the month, a courier delivers a box to Cloud's residence (or wherever he has specified deliveries should be left). Inside is an inert moogle mammet made of metal.

Now, Emet-Selch could have done exactly what was expected of him and nothing more but he had decided to experiment a little. The plates which make up the moogles fur have been done in a paler, whitish metal whilst the pom is a distinctly golden hue. Before you worry, Cloud, it's not actual gold. Its wings meanwhile are a darker hue and the eyes are two engraved, downward arcs. (A n.n face basically.)

A card with instructions tells Cloud how to turn it on and what to do if the core is depleted: he just needs to open the stomach and recharge the crystal with magic. When it's switched on, the moogle will flap its wings and hover near its owner. Occasionally it will do a twirl in the air and a bouncy dance. ]
