[He exhales a little in the dark.] Good to know people don't mind running weird fossil fuel through other people for their own goals even in other worlds. [Sounds exactly... like... home... almost. Evil people truly exist everywhere.]
[ shinra: it is a metaphor for something very subtle. he shakes his head ]
Lucky. Sure. Back during the war, everyone dreamed of being a SOLDIER. They were heroes. Most of the ones who tried never made it past initial screening. [ he's staring at the ceiling in the dark ] At least they don't try out all prospects directly with the mako.
No, that'd be a waste for them. They'd only want to test the promising ones. [He's quiet for a moment.] Did you agree to it? The testing. Or did they just give it to you with the promise?
I really... wanted to join SOLDIER. [ in that kind of far off tone like he's thinking about it. there's stuff he knows he didn't agree to, with hojo. but when...? ] But I didn't read the fine print.
[ that covers the memory blanks it's fine he does not want to disassociate currently ]
[He says this as if it isn't anything out of the ordinary for him, but also like the implication is who knows what the fuck will happen after this is all finished.]

Dryly:] Hey, just like here, right? [It's rhetorical mostly. They both know this place is ass.]
Good news. You're talking to a dude who kills people like that all the time back home. The people doing the testing, I mean.
no subject
Think I can hire you and see if you'd have better luck with the science department than we did? Guy weaseled out of it last second.

[ fuck hojo i just worded it weird ]
no subject
Oh. Well, in that case, a definite sure. I'm a good shot. I'll only have to give him one.
no subject
You can miss a few times and give him more than one. He'd deserve it.
no subject
Unless you think he should suffer, then I could just do his legs a few times first.
[THANK GOD LUP IS REALLY ASLEEP]

Well, you'll just have to call me then. Hope you pay better than minimum wage.

[As if he wouldn't do that at all. Maybe he would just get rid of all the Jokers ever. Someone else can be nice.]
I don't feel like we're going to get much out of this actually. Maybe not even our hostages.
no subject
What, you already giving up after three weeks?
no subject
Cloud, I don't know how to tell you this, but I gave up, like, two days after we got here. That's how little I trust this place or the Nightman.
no subject
[ but well, he's also not the kind to do an inspiring speech. especially not in the middle of the night. ]
Guess I'll just have to stubborn it out for both of us.
no subject
You are pretty stubborn. I think you'll do a good job.
no subject
Carrying your ass to the finish line, you mean? Yeah, I'm stubborn enough for that.
no subject
HE IS GOING TO WAKE LUP UP.]
