Don't perceive him until he's had coffee.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Squinting at the light from the screen in the dark room.
"It's three in the damn morning..."

📲 Sure, I can take the chair.
📲Are you sure everything is okay?
📲Why are you still up?

//150 hours. My stupid ass picked the expert sphere grid. So if you're wondering where I've been, I was spending 50 hours of my life in a menu 😭

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

//LMAO. Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Last callout post for today.

I am very disappointed to have to do this, but I'm calling out @DirectorTuesti.

You never have enough coffee in Reeve's office for my Cloud.

Block and report.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Bit extreme.
But you're the boss. Consider it done.

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

Right.

Right, yeah — she’s just insufferably annoying. She’s like a dog in heat around me.

Maybe she needs some time back in the cells to cool down. See to that for me.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Aerith. Making your life hell again just because she's got the hots for you.

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄��𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

I beg your pardon?

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

You do realise some of us are actually trying to do some work here?

[𓆩🌸 ྀ @aerilium]

Rufus can't sleep... 😔😔 He needs a big spoon. 💔

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Hiding our true feelings with bullying again, huh?

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

Don’t listen to her @DirectorTuesti.

She’s just mad because she fancies me.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

@aerilium //😂 he's back again

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

What is it now?

[𓆩🌸 ྀ @aerilium]

Your boyfriend needs you, @DirectorTuesti. It's very serious. 😞💔

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

@KnifeoftheTurks His eyebrows raise in confusion. He'd never seen her like this before. She's usually so composed.

"Okay... Take it easy. You look flushed. I hope you don't have a fever."

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Something wrong?

[🍉𝗔 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽 𝗸𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗲... @KnifeoftheTurks]

🙈

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

"Yes they do."
Sometimes Rufus and his plaster saint facade frustrated Reeve, but still it's more than Jack would have ever done, which was likely nothing at all.
"The people place great confidence in ShinRa. We're their lifeline after all."

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

“I’ll come down later. Show support, be present… I heard that’s what people look for in moments of crisis — a leader.” He said as Reeve gathered his reports.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

"What in the Hades, Cloud. I changed the pass code, so how have you been getting in?"

[𝓐 𝓼𝓸𝓾𝓵 𝓬𝓪𝓷'𝓽 𝓫𝓮 𝓬𝓾𝓽. 🇵🇸 @FusionSwordCS]

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, you're out of ground coffee..."

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

"Call me if there's any developments."

Repressing the words of concern that were threatening to escape, he gathers his papers and heads for the elevator.

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

Rufus knows that he knows there’s something untoward about the entire situation.

Avalanche had no need to bomb the city or cause disruption: not anymore, anyways.

So if not Avalanche then who?
Wutai?
They wouldn’t dare.

All Rufus does was grin.

“Be safe.”

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

@KnifeoftheTurks "Are you sure? Sounds like your coming down with something."

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴.
He nods again.
"Sir."
Unfortunately for Rufus, Reeve can sense there is more to the situation. There always is. But he won't ask any further questions.

For now.

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

“Oh Reeve— try and keep the costs to a minimum.” He says.

Rufus knows far more about this incident than he’s letting on.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

There goes his day on catching up with paperwork.

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Reeve's shoulders drop with an air of relief.
"Mmhm." He nods appreciatively. Grateful to be taken seriously.
"I need to grab a few things from my office. I'll convene with the team in Skyview Hall."

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

And Rufus knows how insistent Reeve can be when it comes to the city.
He’s experienced it first hand, his father before him. But Rufus takes a different approach to his old man: he won’t shackle Reeve and force him to be a bystander.

“Then you’ll need a team to accompany you.”

[𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 @DirectorTuesti]

Reeve has become accustomed to the President's apathetic recations to such occurrences, especially when the gil needs to spent. He chooses not to challenge him.
"With respect, I'd still like to carry out a risk assessment and assess the damage myself."

[⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏. @ShinRasRufus]

Of course Reeve cares about people first.

He shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, uncaring.

“Dunno. The Turks are on scene just now investigating.”

Recalling biting his tongue on saying ‘hopefully’.
