[Video - Locked to Cloud - Normal filter - 50%]

[This starts in the hallway, with Aerith moving from her and Zack's apartment to Cloud and Tifa's as she records. Of course, since Cloud is gone...the filter is bad. (Lifting a note from Noel's example!) Bold is unfiltered/public. Italic is easily hackable, as even normally, the filter is only 50 ( Read more... )

[And she looks up and smiles briefly when Buffy does, more automatically reacting than a genuine smile.]

You're good at this.

They say that practice makes perfect but I'm starting to suspect I was born this way.

[ so she smiles back. ] Everything alright, Aerith? You seem a little...out of it.

Really? I was hoping the sugar would pick me up. [She takes the cup in her hands, swirling the hot cocoa around lightly before sipping at it. ...Yeah, this isn't going to bring her perkiness up tonight.] I wanted to surprise someone today. Cloud.

[Jack is over here, just knocking back a soda. It's too early for drinking. He does, however, recognize his neighbor.]

You look like someone spit in your drink. You piss off Buffy? I'm pretty sure she spits in mine.

[She glances up at Jack, reacting to his words two seconds later by shaking her head.]

It tastes fine. Buffy wouldn't do that.

[Maybe not. But he has his suspicions. It could be someone else in the staff.]

So if it's not the drink, why so down?

[Maybe the Malnosso supply pre-spit beer. Aerith doesn't taste that stuff. She fiddles with her hand, looking away; she's really not used to talking about this.]

I'm all right. [She looks back at him.] People talk about how sudden deparatures are, but it didn't sink in until now. You've seen Cloud, right? Well, he's back home, and... that's best for him.

[Mmm, hot chocolate. Taking a long swallow.]

[ That weird filtering, those brief glimpses of sound and video-- something is really wrong here. Lightning doesn't even need to hack the main message yet to figure that out. ]

Aerith...?

[It takes a few seconds for her to respond, and when she does she looks and sounds confused and out of it, pushing hair back from her face--she wasn't expecting to hear from people outside of the filtered targets, not yet aware of how the security breaks down with a missing journal.]

What is it, Light?

[She's still confused, but on a hunch she plays back what she was trying to send to Cloud as a tease, and-- the recording is all odd. It's not how it should be, and the sinking feeling already in her stomach turns a little colder as she switches it back off in the middle of "going to spend some--"

Can everyone see that?]

It was supposed to be for Cloud, but he's not here. ...He's gone. He went back to Gaia. [This should be a good thing, but.]

[Vash was just coming into the bar for a couple drinks. As he always does when first entering a place he scans it to see who's inside. At first he's happy to see Aerith, but then he notices that expression on her face.

Looks like you could use a distraction from your thoughts. Walking over and waving a hand up and down in front of you.] Helloooooo in there. Anyone home?

[Action] gardenerofgaia February 7 2011, 20:34:32 UTC
[Whoa, hand in face. She definitely didn't notice Vash walking up, so there's a start as her head tilts up quickly to see who's behind her.] Oh--Vash!

[Sitting down, not caring if he's invited or not.] Hello. How are you doing? [Vash doesn't tend to pry, but if you want to talk about what's on your mind, he'll give you an opening.]

[She looks down at her hands as though trying to figure out how she is--or how to start on that question--and then looks back up.] ...I've got hot chocolate.

[Hot chocolate makes things all right, right? Kind of?]

[ Aerith isn't the only one drowning her sorrows today, although the doctor is nursing something a hell of a lot stronger than hot chocolate. ]

Re: [ action ] gardenerofgaia February 7 2011, 21:44:55 UTC
[She's not feeling chatty as usual today, so the doctor will get a few minutes to nurse that drink. Finally, though, it's just too quiet and sad in her own head and she looks around for someone to talk to.]

McCoy. What are you having? It looks funny. [Of course, Aerith just might not know her alcohol at all.]

[ he looks up and instead of rolling his eyes at the comment about it looking funny, he just shrugs instead. ]

It's corn whiskey. [ he lifts the glass of clear liquid. ] Georgia moon.

"Georgia moon". That's a pretty name. This is like... Hmmm. [What would you call hot chocolate.] ..."Heavenly mudslide". ...No, there's already a drink called a mudslide, isn't there? That won't do.
