Oh, Cloud!! I feel so sorry for him! He must be terrified! The little snapshots were nicely done- the fact that he's still thinking about Zack was cute. Damnit Angeal, where's your conscience?!

Hollander- that "%"$£^*&!! I hope Genesis and Sephy skewer him! Evil little- !"£%^&

Uh, I was always a little fond of Angeal, and with this fic, even though I feel sorry for the dude... damnit he went too far!

Sephiroth returning and then everyone asking him where Cloud was was nicely done. Zack put it adequately enough :P. Seems that Luxiere's jumped on the MentorMeNow!Cloud bandwagon.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, thanks for the read!

Or just wants to find Cloud to get into Zack's good books! :D

Oh dear, amazing how quickly everyone turned on Angeal...

Thanks for commenting anon!

HOLLANDER. Way to capitalize on Hojo's 'success' in the past-future. I can't be more thankful for the Nuremberg laws we have today. Seriously, if someone like Angeal can get caught up in all of this, it's a scary world they live in.

The only good thing I can see coming out of this is Cloud developing resistance to tranqs. Maybe one day in the future, when he needs to be sedated, he'll be able to pull a fast one on the Turks. >__>;

This is SUCH a tragedy. Angeal is so freaking desperate that he's screwing over the one who can help him. I love the dramatic irony, though it also pains me to see Cloud suffering so. ;__; I wonder how much could've been avoided if Cloud and Genesis just TOLD Angeal about the water...It's kinda like in Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo doesn't just tell Tybalt that he's his cousin-in-law...guuhhh, I hope Sephiroth and Genesis come save the day soon!!

I wonder why there's no GPS on Angeal's phone? :O

Oooh, travelling! That should be fun. I'm looking forward to the next update!

[sinnatious]

Or like Code Geass, how Lelouche never ever admits that Euphie's massacre was an accident. ;___;

There'd be GPS on Angeal's phone, but that would be something the Turks would be able to track, rather than Seph and Genesis. I can't imagine the ability to do so would be freely available.

Heee, I love those 'surprise, I'm immune!' moments in fiction. *__*

[firedraygon97]

I haven't watched all of Code Geass yet!! :O Of course, I wasn't really planning to, so this spoiler doesn't cut as deep, haha.

TSENG, GET ON THIS. >__O Haha, you'd think after having that one-on-one with Cloud, he'd be more aware of Cloud's goings-on. Sucks that Lazard's in on it. D:

Definitely one of my favourite, uh, 'genres' of surprise, right up there with the "What ARE you?" moments. Like with Hikaru going, "You're Zelda?!" and Waya subsequently screwing up because of that sneaky psychological attack. ♥

[sinnatious]

:O YOU SHOULD. Code Geass is amazing. It has one of the best endings of all time.

That was a great moment in HnG. *__* The Sai mystery cracked me up. Wish they'd milked it some more.

THAT PICTURE. ;____; (Also, owwwwww, syringe drawing). Nice hand drawing! Hands are hard.

Thanks for pointing those out (I need people to point things out, because god knows there are probably errors all throughout), but the thing about grammar rules in speech is that you can safely throw them out of the window. That's irrelevant, though, as both contractions are correct in this instance. 'Have' and 'do' are largely interchangeable in possession, though 'have' is preferred in British English. In this case I chose 'don't' because it's a single syllable and sounded more natural with Angeal's speech patterns.

As for the second, 'take' is correct, because Hollander is speaking in present tense - about the ability to, not what has occurred in the past. Taken is the past participle of take.

I am open to argument, however! :D

And good luck on SATs!

[firedraygon97]

Grammar. UGH. I usually just go with whatever sounds right in my head, which is usually right, but I've never actually learned all the terms (past participle something-something??). But yeah, 'don't' should work here, and 'take' too...

[eleature]

Oh dear! I fear they're both going a bit overboard with their scientific research. If Hollander keeps sedating Cloud, he risks sending his consciousness into that great white field where Aeris used to talk to him when he needed guidance/help. Gaia knows Cloud could use the break.

And what a horrifically wonderful chapter. I think I hate/love you at the moment. It's all the angst and the suspence you know? I kind of have a hate to love it feeling going on.

I'll wait anxiously for the next update.

[sinnatious]

Thanks! :D Angst and suspense are like that. ^_^ Hope you keep reading~

[firedraygon97]

I think it's good that Hollander's scared of Cloud enough to tranq him at every waking moment. At least Cloud has a (nice?) little nap before he gets rescued by his best-buddies, instead of being cognizant through it all. Haha, I hope I used that word right.

[sinnatious]

Indeed you did. ^_^ Love that word.

[sinnatious]

Not sure exactly yet, but looking at 35 chapters-ish?

[daemoninwhite]

Really? Oh thank you god. I was worried that it'd be over after the 26th.

But feel free to go longer!
