Job: Pick-Up Phrase Provider for You (P.U.P.P.Y.)
Welcome to Crisis Core, where the flower girl heroine is just starting to top a boyfriend, the hero Cloud Strife is but a wee soldier, the pretty boy psycho Sephiroth is a sane role model, and your hero is Zack Fair, a member of the elite military group known as SOLDIER. Taking place a few years before Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core tells an unsung story of one young man's dream to be a hero. Confident and loyal, Zack takes pride in what he does despite the public's negative opinion of SOLDIER and ShinRa, the company that owns him and most of the world. Whether it's pesky Wutai soldiers rebelling or monsters causing problems in Midgar, Zack's there to handle it! Nicknamed "puppy" by his mentor and higher-ups, Zack fits the name quite nicely with his enthusiastic and cheerful personality. He ends up adopting a certain cute little blond soldier after the two bond over being country hicks, and he's a bit of a flirt and has a rep as a playboy, too. But he's really the kind of guy you end up taking home anyway because he's such a cute failure about it. Who could say no to a guy that takes the time to pick up a call from his girl right before fighting a giant looming dragon? (He'll call right back.)
It's not all sunshine and rainbows, especially when the bad guys you have to fight were once the men you looked up to, and your friends end up going completely insane. Being locked up and experimented on for five years would make even the strongest hero crack, after all. But not Zack - Zack stays true to his values and beliefs of pride and determination, even while he drags Cloud's comatose ass across the world and ultimately dies protecting him. He's remembered as a cheerful, brimming force to be reckoned with. Because taking down an entire army and passing on his legacy to a future Final Fantasy hero, all the while smiling, is what becoming a hero means to Zack Fair.
Sample Post:
Is that girl of your dreams not giving you the time of day? Do you fumble over your words when your asking that pretty little girl, boy, or gorilla out on a date? Do you struggle through awkward times where your jaw falls off just from looking at her? Or are you just too chicken to man up and talk to the person of your dreams? If you answered "yes" to any of these, then you're in luck! My name's Zack Fair, and I've been hired to teach you how to say just the thing to make your girl or guy light up like Midgar on a Saturday night. And if you haven't been to Midgar, you should take a trip! Especially the slums - you guys would fit right in. If you do go, definitely go see the flowers. And bring a lot of money, they don't come cheap!
But getting back to the job, say you're walking along and you see a girl. Real pretty, you know, the kind of girl that makes you think of an angel. And that feeling's building up in the pit of your stomach, but it's okay to be nervous! In fact it's normal to be, especially when you're about to walk up to her and talk. But don't let it stop you - square your shoulders, puff out your chest, take a deep breath and go for it! And remember to smile and be yourself - those two things are the most important! And once you've got her attention? That's where you say the line. And that's the tricky part you guys are having problems with, right? Ha ha, no wonder you need a counselor for this stuff!
Here, I'll give you an example of how I'd do it. Are you guys paying attention? Good! So I see 'em, the one. And I put on my best smile and walk right over, watching them the whole time. And I wait until I've got their attention and they ask if anything's wrong . . . and I look them right in the eyes and go "Your eyes remind me of the ocean, and I think I'm lost at sea." . . . Hahaha, it wouldn't come out that smooth, I'd stumble over it a little bit, but girls like guys who can make them laugh, right? And they'll think it's cute that you're nervous! If that's not your kind of line, you can make it more your style, like "When they said you were drop-dead gorgeous, they weren't kidding!" . . . hmm, that one could use some work. But you get the idea. Don't worry so much, just wing it and be yourself and you'll have it in the bag! And if the line doesn't work, well - it got you two talking, didn't it? Man, if I had a gil for every time a line flopped . . .
Anyway, when you're doing all this, don't come on too strong either, or you'll scare them away or worse, end up meeting their hand or their fist. We're trying to charm them, not anything past that! So dropping a line like "If you're Wutai and I'm ShinRa, can I storm your fortress?" is definitely not the one you want to start off with. Trust me on that one. That kind of line is a level 3 and the kind you only use if you're absolutely confident in yourself. Instead of saying that, say something like . . . "You must be a summon, because you answered my call and dropped down from heaven." See how much better that sounds? I used that one once and she was so floored she didn't know what to say!
I can tell you guys look pretty nervous, but have more confidence in yourselves! I know you can do this! Just remember what I told you and you'll have that girl, guy, or gorilla in no time. So now that you've got an idea of what to do, why don't you guys give me a hand and we'll come up with a few things to say to your --
-- whoa, hey! When I said "give me a hand" that's definitely not what I had in mind. Why don't you just . . . stay over there. A little excited to try out what I just taught you, huh? I like your determination, buddy, but I'm not THAT Fair!
