Title: The Fifth Act

Rating: T for violence.

Summary: FFVII Time-travel. Gen. Cloud has an accident with a Time Materia.

Author's Note: Neighbours thought it would be awesome to start partying at 4:30 in the morning and still haven't stopped. So this chapter may contain more mistakes than normal. Please point out any that you see

That would be a great plan, except I'm pretty sure that they don't sleep. Ever. ;__;

I'm so pleased by the slow conversion into Genesis fans! :D I will have to be sure to deliver on this in the future. I always felt Genesis didn't get enough of a look-in.

Hana-Kimi~! <3

I didn't think you'd post again so early! :D

Hahaha, Cloud's not cut out for bribery. XD I can just imagine him trying to go up to someone with his glowing eyes and Chocobo hair. Poor guy.

Tseng! Not my favourite Turk of all time (that's reserved for Vincent), but he's definitely fun. Haha, I love how Cloud recognizes the slowly-eat-your-food tactic. All these tricks of the trade must be taught in Turk 101. >D

Genesis is so cute, eaves dropping on the phone convo. I'm not sure if he'd run to tell Sephiroth or keep that tidbit of information to himself. XP Maybe taunt Sephiroth with it. "Guess what I know~?"

I like that Cloud can negotiate himself a deal, though he really could've held out for more. Not that he'd need it, haha. ALSO! Tseng getting worried about Cloud being close to Aeris is interesting. Looking forward to more!

It wasn't early, really - back to regular Sunday/Wednesday schedule. ^_^

Cloud's no Turk, but he's not stupid, either. :P What else could he have bargained for, you think? 'Bring me Hojo's head on a platter'. :D

I usually check Saturday night for a Sunday update (I'm in Canada), so when I checked it in the morning I was pleasantly surprised. XP

"...and I want gourmet meals every third day, and my own private room, and, oh yeah, a key card to the science labs. Y'know, for kicks."

:O When will Hojo appear?!

Turkeys! Tseng! Turk-y manipulation! jhdfaksd love this chapter so much.

Genesis' actions are going through my Gen/Cloud-deprived head like alcohol. hsakdhlsakd WHY ARE THERE SO FEW GEN/CLOUD FICS OUT THERE *sob*

Has Sephiroth wronged you in the past?
>There we go again, haha. Wasn't wronged in the past, bb. Will be wronged in the future.

About your neighbors. Why not get back at them by throwing a party of your own? AFAIK, it's your birthday tomorrow-- the perfect excuse for an all-night party! See if they like how it feels.

[sinnatious]

It's okay! There will be more Gen/Cloud fics! We'll start a wave or something! I'll write at least one. ^_^

Heh, thanks for the idea, but I suspect they'd just use it as an excuse to throw their parties all the time. Bad neighbours are like a plague in the suburbs at the moment. I don't know of anyone who doesn't have obnoxiously loud neighbours these days.

CLOUD HOW COULD YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL LIKE THAT?! At least the first time, you didn't know all that they've done...but this time even if you're just going to try and advance your plan to kill everyone, you will still have to do some work for the evil ShinRa. T_T And all that time he spent convincing people he wasn't ShinRa. And OMG Chibi!Cloud is gonna come, and everyone will see them! *flails* I hope he will at least...

Vincent~ Are you still gazing at Lucrecia? Come back and play with Cloud. T_T

Great chapter, even if Cloud did just give his soul to the devil...

[sinnatious]

Well, he sold his soul to the devil... with every intention of double-crossing the devil. :D So who really got the raw end of that contract? ;)

Thank you!

[swyrel]

But will the devil double-cross him first? D8

[searisme]

So much love for verbal chess, especially if it is with Tseng, whom I just adore. And Tseng saying all those glossy, fake, public-relations-sounding things about ShinRa - so much yes. Still can't help being anxious for Cloud about working for ShinRa, with Hojo still somewhere in the woodwork.

Mr. Nobody indeed... only saviour of the planet x2, Seph's rival and so on and so forth... But the bitterness which followed that was just gorgeous.

Ah, partying neighbours, don't we all love them? I was sick last weekend, so saturday went to bed early. That didn't really work out... Since I'm a student I live on a student corridor - and I'm pretty sure I had a couple making out, like, right outside my door - nooo, just don't do that!

[sinnatious]

It was so much fun to imagine what ShinRa PR would sound like. Even more fun to imagine it coming from Tseng. <3

Ouch, on campus, it's impossible to ever have a quiet night! Train your sleeping-through-noise skills now, as they will be indespensable for the rest of your life...

[searisme]

Yeah. Especially that ShinRa will take care of all of your needs. Yes, the burning need to be experimented upon for somewhere round 4 yrs. Leaflets, indeed.

Meh, campus here in China isn't all that bad (except for some weekends). It was infinitely worse back home! *still grumbling about the neighbour upstairs*
