[ Cloud's not looking at the video when it starts, instead focused on a nail that he strikes with a hammer. He glances at the video, confirming it's on, but he seems distracted or restless. ] Vincent. You're about the only one who'd stay quiet for long. If you're here, say something. [ Pound. Pound. Pound. .... ] Or...if any Houses have a

[Dear lord, what even is that weapon you are holding O_o]

I'm in Sigyn's House and I don't think that anybody here is sleeping that much, I'm sorry.

[ OLD SCHOOL AWESOMENESS or just old school punk stuff. Cloud does kind of angle it seeing Laurent's expression; he is proud of his handiwork, even if he doesn't say it.]

Naminé said the same thing. [ ...okay, he can't help it: ] What about Aerith? Pink dress, ribbon in her hair--she smiles a lot.

[ Aerith is a lot more likely to show up in Sigyn... and he's a little unsure if she would respond, how things were going back home. ]

[YOU WILL LOSE AN EYE BY ACCIDENT WITH THAT THING. Laurent is not fond of violence, what can I say?]

[He thinks about it and then shocks his head.] No sorry, but the city is huge maybe she is here and I haven't notice or she will arrive in a few days. If I see her, I will contact you, sir.

No weapon will be able to hurt the gods of this place, I'm not sure how useful a sword could be to you. However, if you really want one I suggest to ask those who reside in Freyr's House. Some of them can draw things and make them a reality.

If it doesn't hurt the gods, then they won't mind me having one, will they? [ Granted, being able to hurt them might end up being important, so Cloud's chafing at the idea of them being completely invulnerable. But he's aware that there might be people to worry about who aren't gods. ] Artists in Freyr...that's an interesting power. Thanks for the tip.

...Don't worry too much about finding her. I'll still be keeping an eye out. She's pretty lively, so she'll stand out in a place like this.

[ WHAT IS THAT POUNDING AND WHY WON'T IT STOP?

Lightning's room is on the floor below Cloud's, and though given the set-up here, some hideous annoyances are to be expected, when the woman enters the hallway, already in a bad mood, and hears it continuing on and on with no apparent end-- well, she's just annoyed enough that she decides to actually hunt and find its source.

Up the stairs she goes, two at a time, and then stomps her way down the seventh floor hall, ironically loud in her irritation. Will he be able to hear her knocking when she eventually comes to a decision over which door it must be coming from? Or will he require: ]

Hey!

action

[pyritic]

[ He can already guess when he hears the angry stomping and pounding on his door that it's for him, about the noise, and actually it's really tempting to just keep on hammering to annoy them even though this is looking nearly done. Seriously, where is he going to stick more nails without splitting the wood?

--Oh. It's her.

Bad mood dialed all the way up again, he shoulders the nail bat and sharply yanks opens the door--not looking at Lightning's face at first but looking to see where her weapon is, if she has one.

Nothing apparent. Given that she was going on about a fight he's not relaxing just yet, but he does meet her eyes. ]

You can't let this go, huh?

[thestormishere]

[ Lightning opens her mouth to issue her complaint right away as soon as the door starts to open--

Oh, it's him.

And he's got a weapon. At least, she thinks that's supposed to be a weapon, given his body language as he holds the thing. What is that thing?

.... Wait, huh? ]

What?

[ Give her an award, this girl is smooth. ]

[pyritic]

[ So smooth she's throwing Cloud off his own rhythm, if the way his brow suddenly wrinkles at her is any indication. Though even the confusion at her suddenly fresh-faced appearance isn't quite breaking him out of the anger over being accused of fighting alongside Sephiroth. ]

Our "fight". [ Hear those quotation marks? Because he sure does not remember this fight. Not that he remembers a lot of things... He edges past her to step fully into the hallway. ] If we're finishing it, it'll be outside.
