daisythesorceress This is going to be so hilarious you know
Miri
Poor Cloud is not going to get rid of Rufus at all easily, if at all until Rufus either gets what he wants or something else happens
Miri
yes, he's putting on the charm rn
Miri
enjoy that Cloud
Miri
(while also subtly going 'you are a horrible liar' )
Miri
XD
Miri
It's true! Cloud is a horrible liar lmao
Miri
Miri
XD
Miri
Well, that just proves you have a working brain
Miri
He'd respect you less if you trusted someone you just met so soon lol
Miri
yep lmao
Miri
part of me is like 'what if they're in the undeveloped part?'
Miri
cause that part does dead end
Miri
(as does a number of allies lol)
Miri
that map is so confusing I will grant
Miri
I ended up forgoing the damn map and navigating via landmarks
Miri
I got so lost in it the first time
Miri
but yes, it has enough allys and shit that you can easily get your ass turned around and end up somewhere completely not where you wanted to go (especially as some of those routes basically take you in circles)
Miri
I finally figured out by the third go that if I wanted to go to Madam M, that I wanted to head for Sam, but take a left? (right? XD) before I reached him , and go under that lit sign
Miri
cause Sam is the easiest landmark to find XD
Miri
I got myself so lost in those back streets/stairs area for a time
Miri
tho I do recall that the road to the undeveloped area is on the way toward the mansion
Miri
I forget how close it is, but I recall using the chocobo travel thing there to get to the mansion/coliseum quickly via that route lol
Miri
shall we use the stairs hell for our purposes XD
Miri
and yesss.. I was also pleased that once you do that... it continues to be free in chapter select playthroughs too
Miri
why can I hear Cloud going 'stop pointing out the flaws in my logic/words' silently at Rufus
Miri
LMAO
Miri
You can't help but feel bad for Cloud
Miri
he's got what amounts to an unwanted/unintended bodyguard while he hunts for Aerith XD
Miri
It def is not
Miri
XD
Miri
think of it this way cloud, this way you don't have to ruin your disguise
Miri
yessss, how long do they wander aimlessly before we take pity and let Aerith find them
Miri
True, we don't really have any proof they've actually met, though it could be entirely possible during their youth >> (there's an AU for another time) , but she definitely would know of him, possibly seen him on TV in the background
Miri
Miri
lmao
Miri
nice letting the cat come screaming out of the bag there aerith
Miri
lmao Rufus is torn between revealing and staying quiet to see how long it takes for them to realize he's there
Miri
I just feel so bad for both of them, given Aerith wouldn't realize how doggedly stubborn Rufus can be either.. he's not leaving empty handed you two..
Miri
though I do think if Tseng happened to find Rufus, he would tell Tseng to not bother them and to basically go hang back away on stand by lol You're killing his chances of getting answers of any type Tseng
Miri
that would be interesting actually to speak of, because Rufus doesn't want to take you anywhere you don't wanna go rn, Aerith
Miri
(cause someone is still miffed at their father and is going to be as much of a hindrance to daddy dearest's plans as he can be currently)
Miri
Yeah, I do wonder if that can be shown in any way there
Miri
(though I do wager him calling off the big bad turk, telling him to heel and leave them all be might be a clue.. cause by now, Tseng should by rights be capable of finding his missing VP lol)
Miri
fist pump better than him just following until a yelling match happens XD
Miri
because yes, lbr, Cloud would get sick of being followed and turn to growl at Rufus
Miri
because being secretive is keeping them away from their 'mission' , gtfo Rufus XD
Miri
all the more reasons to turn the tables and let them listen to a conversation, and what is and isn't said heh
Miri
...... yes, let's not give Cloud & Aerith a surprise Sephiroth switches journals now whoops
Miri
That def would not go over well, especially given Cloud is currently unarmed
Miri
also random but it amuses me that Rufus is a tiny bit taller than Tseng in the remake it appears (it's not much but still)
Miri

Miri
Yeah I was on a 'let's compare heights' kick a while back
Miri

Miri
He's not too much taller than Aerith actually to judge by that (I tried for shots where the camera perspective wouldn't end up screwing with well the perspective of heights lol)
Miri
There we go!
Miri
>> Hopefully that works
Miri
and I wager there is a lot being conveyed in the brief stare-off that remained unspoken
Miri
(and basically Rufus is now on the cloudless side of Aerith (maybe just a lil behind depending on the how wide the area is lol)
Miri
iirc WM streets aren't exactly that wide in some areas lol
Miri
\o/
Miri
There...you have an honest straight forward answer
Miri
now what are you two going to do with it
Miri
and belatedly, I realized I could have had Tseng use Rufus' title XD and that would been amusing to see the reaction.. but perhaps it's better he didn't
Miri
leaves Cloud guessing
Miri
Poor Cloud
Miri
I have a feeling even if Rufus was aware of any trooper with his name, the moment he said anything to that effect, Cloud would have gotten one of those nasty migraines that like to strike
Miri
sort of like what happened when the one guard mentioned just that in Cloud's hearing
Miri
(I figure he might have noted the name in records he might have seen in the past, but given he was just a grunt (so to speak) and not involved in anything special at the time, the name didn't stick or seem noteworthy)
Miri
thus passing familiarity but no actual memory of it lol
Miri
part of me is like "you know rufus could likely waltz into the don's place and get tifa for them, as well as let them in on S7 plans"
Miri
but then another part of me is "but chair time"
Miri
XD
Miri
cough tho that would bypass the nasty sewers bit.. lol
Miri
heh, true.. also Cloud's memory is obviously a weird thing rn so we could always blame it regardless
Miri
brain: "I don't want to remember this rn"
memory: "gotcha, we don't remember this then"
Miri
/nod
Miri
also I know my memory is like "nope, I got nothing" until I actually see something that actually triggers it into going "Oh wait... now I remember"
Miri
so that could totally be a thing for Cloud too
Miri
/nod
Miri
o7
Miri
also I can't help but think that rufus might be just a little bitter about the fact that his title/position is in name only since he has no power over anything (save the Turks but even that can end up upstaged by his dad)
Miri
it could be a be amusing if Cait literally ran into him on the way up?
Miri
runs into Cloud legs, falls over, cue a curse or two...
Miri
Cloud gets a chance to go wtf, Reeve then gets a moment to go 'well shit.. '
Miri
time to turn this to his advantage
Miri
yes yes..
Miri
I thought about adding a bitter brief look as she said 'his position' but I doubt it'd really be noticed given how quickly cloud pulls attention to him XD
Miri
yes lol
Miri
also yes, Rufus knows all about the 'other' meaning of using 'I'm fine' where it means anything but 'I'm fine'
Miri
cough
Miri
......sure you are. I totally believe you. not
Miri
indeed, pretty much everyone in all the Final Fantasy games need therapy of some kind
Miri
Sometimes I wonder if SE goes 'How much can we traumatize these characters without actually breaking them?'
Miri
unless they're villians then obv 'breaking' them is too common an occurance
Miri
true true XD though FF is basically my main canon it seems like, it's the one that dragged me into rp
Miri
I poke fun at SE cause they've done it so often to such great effect
Miri
there ya go
Miri
tags
Miri
Miri
hopefully that works for ye
Miri
bakerstreet | olalla and rufus for ye too
Miri
DW's hamster ate them obv
Miri
XD
Miri
slow and steady wins the race?
Miri
indeed
Miri
I really wanna let slip his disapproval over his dad's actions, but also need to figure out how to do that in such a way that would be ic
Miri
my brain sort of wonders how well Madam M knows Rufus XD
Miri
heh
Miri
I do need to chat them up when I do another 9 playthrough XD I only spoke to one person after getting a dress so far lol and that was sheer amusement (I think Cloud broke the poor kid XD)
Miri
can't compute cloud in a dress lol
Miri
aah interesting!
Miri
and yess lol
Miri
o7 yeah we're kinda at a point where one side or the other has to give something lol (this is what ye get when you take three wary people and stick them together.. especially when only 1 of them is armed XD)
Miri
YES
Miri
DO THE JOHNNY THING OMG
Miri
then Rufus can be like "......"
Miri
at Johnny
Miri
he does
Miri
I got the johnny experience trophy on my first play through XD
Miri
I wasn't aware there was a different set of quests for 9 until after it was too late XD
Miri
lmao
Miri
yes, A for the attempt
Miri
yes pls :3
Miri
I'm dead now
Miri
Miri
Poor Aerith, unable to get a word in
Miri
bless you Johnny
Miri
Johnny you basically just gave Rufus everything he was wanting in terms of answers nearly XD
Miri
Have unsolicited help you two
Miri
and yes, Rufus compared Johnny to an excitable puppy
