some dossiers are not meant to be opened

Tseng slides the dossier, unopened, across the table

The possibilities, they are so many.

And imagine all the OTHER dossiers Tseng has hanging around.

Every time you write a single sentence that comes out of Rude's mouth, I get all fangirly.

Also, it's amazing how much of a scene you can paint with so few words.

[greenjudy]

Thank you - ! Actually, Rude is surprising the hell out of me.

I'm glad the scene feels coherent. I aspire to that kind of thing, where you get the picture without too many details. (Which is weird, because I love fiddly details. Have I ranted about Mme Bovary's wedding cake yet?)

I agree with everything notraffic said... oh Rude, so smart...

this is such an interesting little snippet. I want to know more about this dossier. o__O

[greenjudy]

Rude IS smart. I think he may be the most, for lack of a better word, scholarly of the Turks in my universe. Tseng's knowledge base is political, meaning it serves a pragmatic purpose for the most part; Reno's is intuitive. Elena has a granular knowledge of rules and roles. Rude, on the other hand, seems interested in understanding the world in deep time. I think he's a macroeconomics geek.

Yes, it would make a significant difference if Phrike were a Leviathan-type creature from the deep or, say, a deranged teenaged girl cyber-stalking Tseng.

THIS

a deranged teenaged girl cyber-stalking Tseng.

is just begging to be written. Oh, I can see it now... Tseng receiving obsessive, mis-spelled emails of dubious intent from someone known only as "xXxPhRiKeGuRlxXx".....

“is Ancient Greek for ‘freezing cold horror.’”

Although, considering what's available on sunken Shinra ships...

[greenjudy]

Indeed. O_o

Gelnika...so upsetting...got toasted there every time I tried...

I want to know why they have a dossier on Phrike. @_@

[greenjudy]

I can think of lots of reasons why Shinra might do that. XD Maybe Rufus is hiring.
