[drifting... @rottedwithin]

the voices inside me have started a group chat

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

@KnifeoftheTurks Hope is the last refuge of the desperate. It is true. Most often, it is meaningless to the realist.

Too easily a victim of circumstance.

Quite deep for a conversation born from a poor repair attempt on a broken cellphone.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

I . . . Think perhaps I should give up.

———the hinge nearly stayed.

Nearly.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

@KnifeoftheTurks Is it truly worth the headache to find out..?

After all. If it looks like a tonberry, stabs like a tonberry—it's probably a tonberry.
———that, or a painfully convincing mimic.

The result is . . . uncomfortable either way.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

—softly against his back.

"Do you believe you can keep a civil tongue in your head? Refrain from threatening me or mine? Answer truthfully. If I believe you to be lying, I will entertain the idea of speaking with you no further. Last chance. A civil conversation, yes or no?"

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

"If we are descending to the level of threats already, I believe you should shelve any and all hope of my assistance. Especially if you have decided to also put words in my mouth. I made no mention of your childhood at all. Merely questioned what it is that drives you to search —

[》.𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖔. @cruortenebrarum]

Nero’s lip twitches from the irritated burn Vincent’s word leave behind. A stale taste on this tongue that may as well come from teeth cutting into the inside of his cheek.

“ You think because we didn’t grow up in a home like people — children — I should just give up on him? “ —

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

—reality s u r p r i s e d that I am less than eager to help you? Did you really believe that I would want to? And considering our history—why would issuing threats compell me to do anything other than seek to nullify them?" He shook his head for a moment, hair whispering —

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

Bar after, then?

Since they're disrupting their usual schedules for the sake of an unwanted communication device, they might as well do something enjoyable as well.

They're probably past due for a 'catch up'.

[》. 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖊. @OfVeneficium]

That’s none of Cloud’s concern. His own phone is charged most of the time, and yet . . .

He’d like to blame the silencing mode for his own lacking use, but the truth is he is far more likely to ignore a call than bother to pick up.

Cloud Strife, available all 3-5 business days.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

I can not help but feel I am going to regret this question with every surviving fibre of my being . . . but . . .
———what did you have in mind?

[𓆩🌸 ྀ @aerilium]

And I told you I was clearing my throat! Why can't you trust any word of mine hmm?

Oh. A nap yeah? Sounds so much fun. But I'm sure we can do even better.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

Personally, I am very relieved to find that our notions of fun are wildly disparate.

Because your company has, historically, not been so delightful.

[》.𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖔. @cruortenebrarum]

If you had any taste in your idea of ‘ fun ‘, you’d know that I’m delightful company.

A broken phone won’t be resistance enough.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

@KnifeoftheTurks Well. That is up for debate. But repeatedly hitting out at an immovable wall doesn't rank high on the list.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

The simpler, the better would be ideal.
Sturdy, as well. None of those... touch screen ones with all their bells and whistles. I doubt that one of those would survive a week....

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ︵ ｡ Ꮺ 𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦'𝐬 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓. @brawlersfist]

Come on, let's go get you a new phone. Are you looking for another flip phone or maybe something simpler?

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

A... a Vampire. Really...?
———Aerith... he really expected better from you.

[𓆩🌸 ྀ @aerilium]

Huuuuh...

But isn't he like an immortal vampire?

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

Acceptable. Because in all honest truth, the thing is going to go dead and forgotten for days at a time. Even with the best will in the world to keep it charged and on—it's tough to teach an old dog new tricks sometimes.

Especially when they're really not keen on learning.

[》. 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖊. @OfVeneficium]

Yeah, well . . .

The offer only comes with a new phone, any phone expertise is not part of this arrangement.

If the thing works, it should be good enough.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

I am not resistant to the former at all. A good time simply necessitates the correct company. Ergo——

As for the latter. Yes. I absolutely am.

[》.𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖔. @cruortenebrarum]

Why are you so annoyingly resistant to having a good time?

I didn’t bring up my brother, you did. So you’re resisting both — a good time 𝘢𝘯𝘥 my request.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

. . . . He literally just broke a cellphone—So? Yes??
——— . . . . . Right?

[𓆩🌸 ྀ @aerilium]

Is Vincent even from the time of cellphones?

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

I... suppose so. I feel that after this long, I should know to be more mindful.

———You are too kind to such a careless old fool.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ︵ ｡ Ꮺ 𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦'𝐬 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓. @brawlersfist]

No, don't apologize. Accidents happen!

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

@brawlersfist . . . . It seems I am also not terribly skilled at delivering jokes.

———but thank you, Tifa. I would not want to cause you any trouble.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

Ugh.... fine.
———but only because he knows Cloud won't go on about apps or camera pixels...or screen type. A screen is a screen, no?

Mostly though, it's because Cloud will handle things with overly helpful store clerks for him.

[》. 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖊. @OfVeneficium]

Pretty set.

Personal reasons. Next time I drop a stray off, for example. Unless you prefer me barging in.

[𝐕incent 𝐕alentine @Sins0fMine]

Which is precisely why I do not intend to make it a habit. As for deep ground, nice try.

———you won't be tricking me into searching out your brother for you.

Give it up, Nero.

[》.𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖔. @cruortenebrarum]

Why don’t you visit the old Deepground labs. I’m sure you’ll find something close enough to a user manual there.

You pushing my buttons is my favourite thing.
