Bard Linn: Hello everyone, and welcome back! We're sorry this is a shorter chapter, but they will be getting longer as we go along.
Kiraya: Once we get to Midgar, especially...
Bard Linn: The beginning scene with Vincent and Cloud training is based upon something featured in Mercedes Lackey's books, specifically the Winds and Storms trilogies.
Kiraya: And is utterly appropriate, and probably has been highly necessary on occasion, for the Turks to know. As for Elanor... she always manages to surprise us.
Bard Linn: We didn't know she was going to pull the trick with the tickets, either... until after we had written it.
Kiraya: Of course.
Bard Linn: I almost sort of feel bad about making Cloud go through this, except not, because... yeah, there are other things in his future.
Kiraya: I feel bad for Vinny, myself...
Bard Linn: He's going to shoot you if you keep calling him that.
Kiraya: :P
Bard Linn: I feel bad for Vinny-- er, Vincent... or Vin, too. On the other hand, Cloud gets the short end of the stick overall.
Kiraya: Hey, careful there. We don't want to give it away. :P
Bard Linn: True, true.
Kiraya: This chapter is almost more filler-ish material than anything else...
Bard Linn: Except it does deal with the very important parting scene, which is necessary, since we're still pretty much following canon. At the moment.
Kiraya: Give us a few chapters.
Bard Linn: *cough*11*cough* Leaving does mean that Zack and Seph are on their way, slowly but surely.
Kiraya: YAY ZACK. (Actually, I think I prefer our introduction of the General, myself...)
Bard Linn: (Ohhhh yes. 'Tis is much fun.) Well, I guess we should just close this up and stop tormenting you guys. We'll see you in another two weeks -- and no, poking is not going to make updates come faster! (You know who you are.)

Date: 2006-01-29 04:11 pm (UTC)So, yes, I'm torn between hugging you for the shiny, and strangling you for the chocobos living in my head. They are -noisy-.
*grins* You know I love you, though.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-29 04:37 pm (UTC)I'm lucky enough not to have chocobos in my head. Chaos'n'company are being a pain, but no chocobos yet.
I know. *shot for pride*
no subject
Date: 2006-01-29 08:18 pm (UTC)The chocobos are noisy, and I'm scared to kick them like I do the bunnies, so they are sticking around longer. And bringing bigger fics with them. I'm frightened.
*snickers* No shooting. Not allowed. *snuggles*

Date: 2006-01-29 02:18 am (UTC)Bad vampire! No social-skills brownie points! Granted, you don't pick up a lot of them when you spend fifteen years or so in a coffin, but still -- when the fourteen-year-old is being more mature about it than he is, bad Vincent...
no subject
Date: 2006-01-29 02:29 am (UTC)To be fair, Vin-chan DOES have a lot of issues he's basically ignored the past 8 or so years after getting out. He also has no idea about Cloud's Super Secret Mission to get Sephiroth to come visit him. Cloud isn't exactly LOGICAL either, or else he would explain all that. And he does have HIS temper tantrums later too. XD;;
no subject
Date: 2006-01-29 05:31 am (UTC)Lovely chapter, I feel sorry for Cloud.
*grins* I was the ML thing, and it was nifty.
Are you sure it won't help if I poke at you?

Date: 2006-01-29 03:03 pm (UTC)Yes, I'm sure. Wait two weeks, you. :P

It had been a really, really long day. *grins*
*settles in to camp and huggles* Fine, fine, I'll wait impatiently for more.

Then we get to torment them too! Yatta!
