[personal profile] bard_linn

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.)

You aren't the person I meant, actually. That's someone I dragged into the fandom who keeps poking me. And trying to hug me and strangle me at the same time.

I know. But I must refrain from poking anyway.
Fans are scary, no? =P

Awww.... I'm not scary. Very amusing. I guess it's all relative.

Besides, I was heavy in the FMA fandom. Very little scares after that. XD;;

You did. I can't believe you dragged me, the girl of ficlets, into a fandom where I'm writting multichaptered stories and hugeass fics.

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.

FYI, YOU dragged me out of FFVII to FMA writing! So turn about is fair play.

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*

It's not my fault you ended up sucked into FMA. Well, maybe a little. *holds fingertips half an inch apart* Tiny, tiny bit my fault.

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*

Sure its not. I believe you [/sarcasm]

::SMACKS VINCENT UPSIDE THE HEAD HARD::

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...

My sister and I are dying over here about social-skills brownie points.

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;;

*whimpers and settles in for the wait*

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?

You were the ML thing? *blink blink*

Yes, I'm sure. Wait two weeks, you. :P

*smacks forehead*

I was loving the ML thing, and it was nifty.

It had been a really, really long day. *grins*

*settles in to camp and huggles* Fine, fine, I'll wait impatiently for more.

Sorry. Wouldn't have poked except I couldn't guess WHAT you meant!

Is okay. I looked at it myself and was like: What was I thinking when I wrote that? Ooh, yeah.

*snickers at self* I'm a twit at times. Feel free to ignore me.

Yup, Seph and Zack soon!

Then we get to torment them too! Yatta!

Trout. Usually frozen. They are a very deadly weapon.

Well yes, I've come to accept that poking will not result in faster chapters. Alas. Still, I'll be a nice little commenter and play along so I can tell you how much I loved this chapter. I did actually recognize the scene as something from the salle (with another Elanor ~ was that planned, or what?) mainly because Linn got me into that fandom, too. Sheesh. Aside from my love and admiration, though, I have a nitpick for you. His student called them “the times when you throw everything and everything you can at your mentor and hope he doesn’t get too close because you know you can’t beat him in hand-to-hand combat.” I think maybe you meant anything and everything? I could be wrong, though, so feel free to ignore me. As usual, I'm waiting (impatiently) for more!!! Great chapter!!! ^___^

Actually, no. *blinks at you* Elanor in the salle? I think you mean ELSPETH.

*smug* I drag people into fandoms! MWAHAHAHAHA.

Probably. *goes off to fix*

Yay, this time the icon works! *is happy whereas she shouldn't* Well, knowing Cloud and Vin, I was sure something like this would happen, but... Bitter anyway. I will wait for more and see what happens next :)

Very true! Icon is very good at the moment. :) Life will go back up...or else it can't go down again!

Heh, that opening scene reminded me a lot of Mercedes Lackey's Elspeth, actually. And yes, the parting scene hurts. On the other hand... Impending arrival of Zack and Seph! Whoo!

-- and no, poking is not going to make updates come faster!

Gah... Finally here! I'm feeling bad for both of them right now. Hope Vincent gets some attention in the future too, and I can't wait to see Sephiroth and Zack!
