[ jason is the stupidest bat and the competition is SO fierce, so it's incredible. i love him.

cloud doesn't call him out on obviously not being fine, because mood, but he does look at the doors ]


I seriously doubt there's anything worthwhile in these, but... sure. Nothing better to do.

[ also he does not think jason should be left alone with a gun and trauma. it's not like cloud has a lot of trauma to access too so with both of us it'll be fine!

surely!! ]

If I get gored by a unicorn, I blame you.

[ sorry jason the pessimism is his forever. how else will he deadpan snark. but unfortunately for both of them when cloud also steps into the room it slams close behind them and they are now on either side of a confessional booth.

not that they know because it is a grated window between them ]


...... Jason?

[ are you there, god? it's me, an atheist? ]

[ if this is a battle of blue eyes cloud's glow a little in the dark. it's fine and normal.

also cloud is a pure virgin and the unicorn would love him. ignore all the murder and eco-terrorism. that isn't important. he kicks at the door with all his strength at jason's request. it's not actually what jason asked but i am pretty sure both these fucks are mildly claustrophobic so it's funny. ]


Nope. Nothing. [ the booth is too tiny for him to use his sword too... Big Sword Problems(tm) ] Any luck on your side?

[ in my heart Jason's eyes glow and comics are also good. these are both sad lies. cloud's kicking the door again, just in case, and has the unfortunate thought that being with someone else makes it less bad.

tell that to zack, dummy.

Jason asks and it takes Cloud a second to think while I decide the state of religion in FF7. ]


I've seen it in a church once. Can't say I ever stepped into it, though. [ religion in FF7 is not doing great was my conclusion. he bangs on the wall with a fist just in case that somehow helps. ] Guessing the "Sorry dad, I've sinned" thing is part of it?

[ close. but not quite. ]

The only one who brought up "Daddy" here is you.

[ Jason don't ruin a word he has to listen to come out of Marlene's mouth constantly, Barrett will never forgive him if he makes a single face about it. But he listens to that explanation and leans back with a disgruntled sigh. ]

So... just a method of absolving yourself of guilt without doing anything about it? Great. [ a beat ] Dibs on being the priest.

We'll see. [ he sounds amused. he wont for long when he has to think of a sin, sucker!!! ] I still called dibs on listening. So get to it so we can see if this works.

Think you're overestimating how much I care about what you end up saying, Jason.

[ like. of course he won't share. does he LOOK like a gossip? what happens in the torture priest room stays in the torture priest room!! ]

But sure. I can pinky swear to keep my mouth shut if it makes you feel better.

[ jason is truly going through so much and meanwhile cloud is so tired. this is so much personal information and feelings and he is uncomfortable. also it sounds dumb as hell. why would you not kill bad guys? hello?

and he just has to accept resurrection is a thing in places. he's seen enough weird murder game shit to accept it but also, christ, jason. locked in a coffin? that fucking sucks. he's quiet while jason confesses all of it, not even tapping his arm or shuffling.

he does not want people's backstories but he's also not that big of an asshole to make fun of them. still; ]


... Your mentor's a dumbass. [ it's an important note. cloud thinks batman is the stupidest thing alive because superheroes would not last one second on ff7r's crapsack world. imagine trying to NOT kill people in there. ] There's nothing to gain with keeping guys like that alive. They'll just keep going until someone stops them for good.

[ is sephiroth the joker? he thinks sephiroth is kind of the joker. he does not know the joker by name but a psycho who kills people is very sephiroth-kin. he sighs and shuffles a bit, leaning back. ]

... Any luck that confession loosened things up on your end?

[ he still does not want to play forgive me father ]

[ imagine cloud "why don't you just kill him" strife telling jason "vincent valentie adjacent" that murder is wrong. hilarious. also, the joker is now genesis. anyway, cloud tries kicking the door when he hears jason crawl! wow can you imagine if i said he got off easy and it just opened.

nope, it's stuck. ]


Looks like this isn't a two for one deal on sin sharing. [ shit. he kind of sighs ] ... I've done a lot of shitty things. Can't really tell what counts as the biggest bad decision of them all.

[ aerith isn't dead yet for him to guilt over, so he takes a few seconds. ]

I joined the army as a kid. About fourteen. Had some delusions it'd make me a hero. I went up all the way to the highest rank in about two years. SOLDIER, First Class. [ part of this is on his profile, so it's fine? ] ... I went on a mission with someone I thought was a friend, back to my hometown. The guy was a real war hero. Being like him was the whole reason I joined in the first place.

[ ... ]

Something happened. Or maybe he was always like that, I don't know. I guess I didn't know him as well as I thought I did. He snapped. By the time I caught up to him, he'd managed to burn down the entire town and kill almost everyone in it. I thought I'd stopped him then, but... he's showed back up again. Crazier and more powerful than ever. Talking about changing fate.

[ cloud kind of shrugs. it's not like jason can even see him, but he does not entirely understand how the planet, sephiroth and his own group align right now. he just knows! sephiroth bad!!! ]

... I don't know if he's my sin, or my ghost. But either way, everyone he's hurt since-- if I'd done the job right first try, they'd be okay. And back then... some hero. I didn't manage to save anyone. Damage was done.

[ ... there's a pause. ]

Think that counts as confession enough?

[ there's something maybe a little funny that jason's sin is killing people and cloud's sin is not killing one guy, actually, thinking about it. it's fine cloud can talk up avalanche being responsible for so many dead people instead, rip ]

Something like that.

[ found out he was an alien, couldn't handle the fame, same difference. he understands it's jason sort of trying to be comforting, but all cloud does is hum a bit. ]

No stopping this train we're on. [ pensive. it doesn't quite fit the context, but yeah, they keep going. something about legacies itches in his brain but it doesn't make sense so he ignores it. ] What's with you and the dumb quotes?

[ first daddy i have sinned, now this!! either way he kicks open the door probably more meanly than necessary. it kind of breaks open.

oops. ]


Let's get the hell out of here.

[ he has to awkwardly crouch to get the sword through too, which ruins his exit. i love how uselessly big the buster sword is for this. ]

[personal profile] skyagain 2022-06-07 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i'm glad you understand the entire reason i gave him the sword anna.

cloud gets out and pats himself to shake off some of the wood dust from destroying a door, looking around. ]


No idea what that is. [ he's judging the jokes because he does not get them, but don't worry. he has his own bad jokes. ] This thing's beginning to seem like less of a hallway and more like a hellway.

[ ... yeah ]

What part of "I joined the army at fourteen" makes for a good childhood?

[ it's a joke! it's a fun joke. he's so funny. anyway ]

I'm at one and you're at two. Wouldn't do for me to quit before you did. [ he cracks his neck. don't be competitive over this. you IDIOTS. ] Ready when you are.
