Everyone, I have an important announcement!

CLOUD'S ALIVE AGAIN!

So he wasn't dead in the first place... He sure had a lot of people fooled. Except me! But he kind of acts dead sometimes though, has anyone else noticed? It's like his eyes glaze over or something...I guess that's just part of acting angsty. Kind of like how a great ninja like

someone is named Cloud?

nill likes that name

[zerostealth]

Yeah, and his last name's Strife. I think it's pretty depressing, but Cloud in itself is nice...if not a little weird.

Hey, do you feel any better?

[aphonics]

clouds are nice.

She feels better. still hurt but better.

[zerostealth]

They're pretty useful, yeah, and I like them when they make funny shapes.

That's good! You really pulled through, you know that? But when I get my hands on the jerk who did this--!

Two minutes, just give me two minutes with them!

[outlocked]

... yeah.

[A soft laugh.] Thanks for the offer, Yuffie.

[zerostealth]

See, I told you he was fine. Did I?

Hey, I figure it can keep Cloud from getting lost like a baby chocobo, and you won't have to worry so much. Is that a yes?

[outlocked]

I shouldn't have doubted you.

As much as it's tempting, I don't think so. Cloud is Cloud, can't do anything about it.

[zerostealth]

You shouldn't have, but no one's perfect.

Cloud's a pain. If you don't want to do it, I have no qualms about it!

[riotinstereo]

So I heard. Good for you guys.

[zerostealth]

Yep! With our fearless leader, nothing's going to get in the way of AVALANCHE.

[riotinstereo]

...Until he wanders off again, you mean. One of you going to keep an eye on him this time?

[zerostealth]

Such little faith in the heroes who saved the world! I don't see you doing anything about it, huh? Me of course!
