     [Plot] Die with Honor. (Everyone)
    « Thread Started on Feb 25, 2009, 8:35pm »

    (OOC: Ladies and gents, this is a major story thread! Timeline-wise, this takes place after all current threads. So whatever reason you can think of to get your characters here, be them Shinra, Wutai, or civilian, go for it! Of course you don't have to show up here if you don't want to. However, this thread is the beginning of a larger story that will branch out into other subplots and eventually encompass the entire board. Stay tuned!)
    Under one flag, they stood as one soul. Masked by dry winds and sandy air, conforming to their surroundings with unmatched stealth, they waited for their orders—they were the Red-Hoshu. Four squads were split into groups, one unit awaiting in the lower catacombs of the Corel Desert, the others disguised as civilians, entering the Gold Saucer in shifts. Those of Wutai were masters of stealth and deception, and now their skills would be put to the ultimate test. Only now the operation had begun, and the main team, the team assigned with the most important task of all, awaited the signal to begin their infiltration. Heading this special team were three men, captains in rank. These were the chosen men, the divine few who were to give their lives for the sake of their country, and inseparably, their leader.

    The chosen three men were to detonate the second M-Bomb…right here in Gold Saucer.

    But for now they waited in the deep, sandy caverns beneath the Gold Saucer, deeper yet than the Corel Prison. Using their previously determined route, the squad was to enter the recreational complex from underground. This squad consisted of handpicked men from the Red-Hoshu. They could not allow themselves—in any way—to fail. For many of them, this would be the mission that made their careers. For three of them, it would be the one to end it.

    Ryutarou leaned against a damp cavern wall, his arms crossed. He was one of the captains of the Bombing Squad, the special team beneath the prison. Given the signal, he and the others would proceed through the caves into an emergency opening to the prison. There a Wutai informant awaited them, who would open the way to the Gold Saucer’s lower depths and its engine rooms. Meanwhile, up above in the main complex, the other squads would keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior, there to stay only long enough to ensure the bomb was planted, armed, and detonated. If all went according to plan, only three men’s lives would be sacrificed tonight.

    A ninja leapt down from the cavern’s roof, previously having blended flawlessly with its ochre layers. He made himself known to the others, creeping forward with his head down. He nodded without a word, and Ryu looked to his fellow men to confirm the signal.

    Young and old faces. Men weathered by battle, grizzled by unending war. Ryu gazed on the long faces, some nervous, some gritted, some without fear. He turned to his fellow captains, also present and ready to forfeit their lives for their cause. With him were Ikusa Kasai and Pin Jhao, two men he had worked with before. They all nodded silently at each other.

    A rare droplet slid off a stalactite and splashed on the ground. No one was present to hear it.

    Mr Ginsberg wasn't a superstitious man by any means, but he decided that it was either the umbrella, or the shoes on his table that got him killed. There was no other reason other than plain bad luck.

    The gunman stood behind him as Ginsberg sat in a plush leather seat. He could feel the cold barrel touch his bald head and he simply resigned to his misfortune. Maybe his ex-wife had found more of his skeletons, or the betting office wanted it's millions. Not that it mattered, none of these things mattered to a man with a gun.

    "Just tell me who I thank for this..." Ginsberg said to the dark room.

    "Rufus Shinra." Synergy replied quietly. "He sends his regards..."

    Just before the bullet snatched away his life, Ginsberg had only one tie with Shinra - he was part of the Council...

    Synergy tossed the gun to one side and it hit the carpeted floor with soft thud. He tightened his leather gloves, while his cold eyes washed over the body, then the room. He turned to leave when his phone buzzed. Quickly it was flipped open; It was the man himself.

    "Rufus." Syn greeted solemnly.

    "I trust you have time to talk?"

    "Of course."

    "Good...it'll just take a minute either way; Is the task complete?"

    "All but one."

    "Good...good." Rufus replied, and there was a silence. For a moment, Synergy thought that the President had hung up. But he could hear a distant breath. "We're going to Gold Saucer. Come by as soon as you can." Rufus disconnected, and Synergy closed his phone with a frown.

    He hated Gold Saucer...

    ---------------


    Sitting in the black Sedan, Synergy swirled his 'Chardonnay' gently, while his mind wandered over last night's events. Right after he killed the Councilor and receiving Shinra's call, Syn rang up Sopheonix with the invite to join him here. He wasn't sure whether she had the message, but it was too late now.

    Opposite him sat the President - he had some business here. More public relations...



    ((Zeph is in the car, or near the car with Syn. Sophie - when you join Syn (if you want to), I can mod it so that you're with him now. Up to you though :) ))

    Pulling out todays newspaper, Zephron flicked through several pages before he came to the crossword. Today seemed a hard one, half of the clues there he had no idea what they were on about. Perhaps it was because Zeph had a feeling that the people at the press was making them up, for example the gunman had never heard of 'haemoglobin' to him it sounded like some sort of food.

    Taking his sun glasses off, Zeph turned to face Syn who just sat there swirling his drink and beside him sat Rufus who was reading a book.
    "Sir can I borrow your pen please." Hoping Rufus would say agree, Zephron couldn't really imagine what it would be like sitting in this car until they reached gold saucer with nothing to do than read a newspaper that had been overly censored.

    As he waited for the president to mull over the question, Zephron wondered what his daughter was doing at this present moment in time. He was sure that she was going somewhere with some friends but he didn't know where, the odds of it being gold saucer seemed unlikely but aslong as she wasn't with Ryan then he really didn't care......thinking about it was Ryan here today?

    Rufus hated long journeys and to top it off he hated being uncomfortable. Gold Saucer was meant to be the pride of Shinra, the idea that the company cared about it's people. Rufus on the other hand didn't like the place he wouldn't care if the thing blew up providing he wasn't there.

    Turning the page over as he read a book about a fantasy place and time where rival nations fought each other using cavalry, Cannons and one shot rifles. It was good read to say the least but at this present moment in time Rufus was getting annoyed at how slow this driver was.

    Hearing Zephron speak to him the blonde haired man dipped his hand into his top pocket and pulled out a black silver lined pen with the initials RS engraved at the top.
    "Here you go." Knowing that his bodyguard would only use the pen to complete the crossword he loved to do each day, Rufus felt safe with Syn and Zeph in the car. He very much doubted that anything could happen to him when this duo was around.

    Angelic was beat. Just plain beat. This was the second long voyage she had been set on, and it seemed it wouldn’t be the last. She had tried prying as much information as possible from the receptionist regarding the place called Gold Saucer, but aside from bits and pieces of useful info, she had gotten bombarded by the receptionist with a lot of questions about a certain black-haired SOLDIER and his current whereabouts – where he going to Gold Saucer too, by any chance? Regardless, she had found out it was an amusement park – whatever that meant? – and that there were supposed to be lots and lots of people there. Mostly couples. So why send her? The reason was obvious – she was supposed to stroll about and observe how they acted, what they said and what they did.

    Sitting on the tram on its way up to the entrance of the gigantic platform, butterflies swarming her stomach fiercely, the girl had already started taking notes. Equipped with a lexicon, an encyclopaedia and a wordlist, with a notebook and a pencil at hand, she felt ready to shoulder the challenge to be a good girl and do her homework. To faithfully obey, and eventually learn to act more human. It would by no mean rise her social status, but it would help her improve on her own, and it might lead to that Zack was the only one not involved in her project that knew just what she was. That was the hopes and expectations of herself, Hojo and Rufus. She’d not let down either of them. Thus, she preoccupied herself with scribbling down pieces and bits of the conversations that went on around her as well as personal observations, illustrating it with simple doodles that showed gestures and such. All in all, it worked pretty well as of now. She was set on doing her best for the Company’s sake. Although scared in this change of environment, Angelic was no stranger to changes anymore and she would not allow herself to break down or act stranger than what was expected.

    So she wrote. And she observed, her focus on the task at hand, although stray thoughts still were with her sister Xion back in Midgar, and with Hojo, whose whereabouts she currently did not know. But she’d meet them soon. She would only be stationed here for two weeks, then she’d be shipped to Junon – for what, she did not know, and it didn’t suit her to ask. With what rights would she?

    Ankoku hated his more recent employer, a posh rich snot from Kalm. He was rich beyond Ankoku believed and he still wanted more money. Ankoku's nerve had been through enough already in this trip. First was the ride from Kalm to Junon a bumpy bus ride with screaming children, Ankoku had felt his patience dripping out of his ears. Ankoku only had a single large bag with him in it was some cloth and his black katana. Arriving at Junon Ankoku had just missed the last ferry of the day and was forced to check in to a hotel spending even more gil draining even more form Ankoku already slip budget. After spending a night on the hotel barely closing his eyes Ankoku was nearing his breaking point and on the boat someone walked up to asking for a light for a cigarette. It was not have he asked it was more THAT he asked that sent Ankoku over his edge.

    After Ankoku had let the man to a short term sleep using magic on him, Ankoku felt it was a better thing to do then throwing him overboard. Ankoku mange to duck people for the remainder of the journey over the sea. Arriving at Costa Del Sol Ankoku was greeted by the one who had asked for a light he remembered him clearly and it seemed to be mutual since he had a few new friend with him. Ankoku only signed as he dispatched this pack of fight hungry snots. As the fight ended Ankoku had a moment of pity for theses people they had little idea who there attacked, the moment was cut short as Ankoku empty their wallets for gil, this was rare only then Ankoku really needed the cash.

    As Ankoku walked to the bus station eh saw how the bus was starting to pull out not wanting to miss this bus Ankoku charged up the spell and tapped himself with a haste spell speeding up to match and even overtake the bus. Ankoku ran up placing himself in front of the bus. The driver stepped on the breaks sending people still going to their seats tumbling to the floor, none of the being very happy really nothing that bother Ankoku he just paid his ticket and toke a seat at the back of the bus. This ride as well was a test on Ankoku patience however the lack of loud baby help Ankoku out and he mange to keep his cool.

    Having paid the feed for the tram up to Golden Saucer Ankoku was relief that this pestering mission was nearing the good part where all the aggression that was build up was used the cart was filled with all matter of people a mother with two children, a young girl apparently studying and two older boys apparently going just for the different attractions since they were loudly discussion what to start with in a very lively way. And even in the tram something was able to work against Ankoku. The little kid of the mother in the cart found poking Ankoku very funny since very time Ankoku would twitch and raise his hand to hit the kid, by then the kid ran away to later return and to it again. After almost the thousand time Ankoku had had enough he flung from his seat and this time the kid was frighten by Ankoku maybe because he stood fast or because he was no longer on the same eye level as the kid. No matter which one his mother walked up to Ankoku very angery because her son was now crying

    “AND what are you... doing...” her voice fail her as Ankoku standing almost a head and a half above her steered her down to silence.

    She quickly turned around and walked away from Ankoku sitting down father away from him holding on to her kid almost afraid if she let them go she would never see them again. Ankoku only signed and leaned back in the chair extending the neck to it extreme. The two boys went silent for a second during the short argument but then again started talking now about what just happen but it quickly turn back to different attractions in golden saucer.

    “This will not be as fun as I thought”

    He had been staying in the Haunted Hotel for two days now; waiting for something or someone to show up. He had been called to Gold Saucer but he hadn't the foggiest idea as to why or by who for that matter. Someone had a hold of his number and was sending him on these wild goose chases; much like how they had done when he had been giving a mission to inspect Sector 6. He had thought it was for Shin-Ra but when he handed in paperwork for it he had been told that he had been given no such mission.

    Gold Saucer is a prime spot for fun and entertainment, but it's not really a place anyone should stay overnight. The park never seemed to calm down, the music, the laughter, the sounds; it never ended. The hotel had the haunted mansion sounds and although were cool upon first hearing it, after a few hours it just makes you want to put your pillow over your head to block out the sounds.

    He was currently sitting on the steps that headed to the entrance to the chocobo races and just watched people as they passed, half expecting someone to stop and start talking to him. Honestly this trip is beginning to be quite a useless one, and a waste of time for that matter. He let out an annoyed breath at it all, 'Man... Who thought you could be bored at Gold Saucer?'

    He thought about going to the battle arena, but then thought better than to wear himself out playing such games. He wanted to be in tip top shape in case something happened. Which might be why he's so bored, he sitting around waiting for someone who doesn't seem to have the intent on showing up instead of trying the various games at the park.

    He pulled his phone out and started typing a message. He did promise that he would contact her after all, and he does have the time. He could have done it when he was on the ship, or when he first got to the park, but he didn't think of it until he was sitting there. He found Jennifer's number and started typing out a message.

    Alright, I don't think I have a real mission at Gold Saucer. Been here two days already and I haven't found anyone or anything. I'm thinking of just forgetting about it all and just go play a few games and leave. Not to mention I had to spit out three thousand Gil just to get in here. Maybe I could win some of that back in the Chocobo Races. But I think that's rigged. Anyways, HI! Told ya I'd drop you a line. :)

    He sent the message and after he watched it process, he flipped his PHS closed and stood up once more before stretching out his back. He scratched the back of his head and glanced around the area, "So... What to do, what to do?"

    Ryan had been a member of SOLDIER less than two weeks, and it seemed like the only thing he had done was use the training rooms. The other two guys he shared a room with where ok. . .one was a 21 years old named Sam, and the other was a 19 year old named David. They had become pretty good friends over the past weeks, and they where all going to go to the gold saucer. One of them came from a pretty well endowed family, and offered to pay for all three of them to get in.

    It was kind of sad, he had the job for less than 2 weeks and he was already taking a vacation. Oh well, he couldn't pass it up, a free pass to go to the Gold Saucer, that was one of those things that happened once in a life time.

    He sat silently peering out over the desert, as the tram made its way to the amusement park. Then he glanced around, at all the people, one caught his attention, a blonde girl with an encyclopedia and a note pad. She sat watching the other people, writing little notes. Then suddenly his attention was ripped away from her, as David grabbed him by the shoulder, and said
    "Dude, you gotta see this"
    as he pointed to the huge amusement park.

    It was an awe inspiring sight. The light made it shine like a great jewel of the desert, It truly was one of ShinRa's greatest creations.

    Then again his attention was ripped back to the people in the tram, as a woman yelled
    “AND what are you... doing!?!”
    She was yelling at a man, who towered over her, and just like that it ended. The woman silently made her way back to her seat, and held her child. As the man sat down Ryan thought to himself
    "Its none of my business, I'm sick and tired of being the hero"
    Then he turned around and stared out the window again.

    Ikusa stood silently steadfast in the dark catacombs of corel desert. He thought to himself
    "My mission is to die. I do not feel bad that I must sacrifice my life. I only feel guilt that I cannot do more."
    Then he was suddenly snapped back to the reality of the situation. A ninja leapt down from the cavern’s roof, previously having blended flawlessly with its ochre layers. He made himself known to the others, creeping forward with his head down.

    The ninja gave a nod, the signal that it was almost time. Ikusa glanced at his brothers, the men he would die with, Ryutarou Sudo, and Pin Jhao. These men where more than Ikusa's friends they where like brothers.

    Ikusa felt that all of Wutai was his family, and that was why he felt nothing but happiness to die in the honor of his homeland.

    The car barely felt as though it was moving. It's expensive workings were designed to lesser enersha and wallow. Syn let out a bored sigh and finished off his seventh glass of what tasted like little more than grape soda. He sat up, felt the effects of alcohol and poured himself another glass.

    Zephron asked for a pen to work on his ever-present crossword. It was probably a comical sight, really; two highly trained, highly paid bodyguards sitting in a car with the President no less. One of them was nearing drunk, and the other was lost within a scrabble of words.

    Syn sipped at the drink and yawned. He wondered if anyone would notice how ever so slightly tipsy he was. A frown crossed his brow and he watched the rides and people pass by outside. They were slightly blurred, he mused with a crooked grin and took another gulp. The Champagne seemed to taste less and less with each swig.

    "Have either of you eaten?" Asked a voice. Syn looked over at the Rufus twins and shook his head.

    "Naw. Would love pizza...And do you know what else I'd love - no, I do love?" Syn said and pushed himself up on his seat. The champagne splashed around and trickled down his hand. He made a serious face and was about to say something completely profound. Rufus raised an eyebrow at him.

    "Wait, what?" Syn asked and blinked heavily. A quick movement threw the rest of the drink down his throat. It was merely water to his tastebuds.

    /BodyMoniter(c) V1.19
    /toxicity levels
    /blood alcohol levels above 0.3%.




    ((For those who don't know, Syn is a bio-tek. Part machine, basically. Check sig links for more explanation. ))

    [Current Participating With: No One]

    “You’re twenty now...” he started. The golden eyed girl laid lazily on the couch looking up at the wooden ceiling. He was right, she was twenty. God, she was getting old. Selene frowned, pretty soon she would be married with kids then dead. Where did all the time go? “…and we never got to celebrate your birthday.” Selene sat up as she looked towards the kitchen at her little brother. The tall male was humming along making himself some lunch. It was such an odd smell emitting from that corner of the house. It smelled like someone had burnt oregano and basil, but he wasn’t cooking anything with oregano or basil. He said he was making him some pastry type thing. She had forgotten what he called it. Besides, there was no black smoke in the air or anything like that. She puckered out her lips and grimaced.

    “Are you sure we didn’t?”

    “You were in some Turk training thing,” he said bluntly as he turned back to his sister.

    “Are you sure about that?”

    “Who has the bad memory?”

    Selene frowned. He got her there. But did she really forget to celebrate her own birthday? That didn’t sound like her one bit. Selene usually demanded a week long celebration from her family. It was a week in honor of the princess of the Dendawga family. She demanded to be served breakfast in bed, one gift each day, and at the end of the week they do something spectacular! Lying back down, she closed her eyes and sighed. Those traditions were long gone now. It was probably why she completely forgot about it. Without her parents and Will, it was missing that something special. Selene laid down once again as she noticing Blue coming towards her with a plate. It looked like a fried apple pies covered in icing. The thing might have been appetizing if she didn’t know there were no apples in the house. Throughout her life, her father was the chef of the household. He claimed cooking was just another equation. Selene never saw it such a complicated process. Cooking was pretty easy if you had the right ingredients and kept an eye on the meal so it wouldn’t burn. Blue…was different. He had been different all his life, so it was no surprise he took the art of food in a different direction. While his experiments were usually tasty, Selene was always overly cautious. “What did you say this is again?” she asked as she stared at the flaky pastry.

    “A honey bun.” It didn't look like a honey bun.

    “What’s in it?”

    “Grinded meats, celery, potatoes, peaches, and thyme. Thyme makes everything better!” That was not how you made a honey bun! He looked down at Selene and smiled happily. She looked at his pastry. It was made with love and tenderness, but it was still capable of killing her if she wasn’t careful. Well, maybe not. Nothing sounded lethal. It might have been a nice meat pie if he didn’t put icing on top. Selene sat up and placed the plate on her lap, poking at with her index finger.

    “I’ve decided we’re going to the Gold Saucer,” he said from his chair before biting into his homemade meal.

    “How is it you decide what we’re doing on my birthday?” She knew better than to expect an answer from him. It was hard to talk to Blue when he decided something. On his tenth birthday, he decided he no longer wanted to be known as Christian, but Blue. While her parents and older brother seemed fine with his decision, Selene tried to protest. It didn’t work. Selene put the plate away as she stood up. “Well then, let’s go.” Blue looked at her with big eyes, pouting. “You’re not going to eat my delicious food?” Selene rubbed the back of her head. Crap, he noticed. He noticed and now was trying to pull that cute little brother routine.

    “Umm, hurry up or you’ll have to walk there by yourself,” she warned as she walked outside. Selene smiled. The sun felt so nice against her cold skin. Since she joined ShinRa, she had been wearing suits daily. Today, she was in everyday clothing. The dark skinned girl stood outside her home in Costa Del Sol in a white sun dress and heels. She might have looked like any other girl if it weren’t for the large shotgun strapped to her right leg. Even if she was off duty, she had gotten use to carrying around a gun at all times. Her brother came outside shortly with a bag. They had been to the Gold Saucer several times over the years. While Selene was addicted to the Chocobo Races, Blue always seemed to do good at the battle arena. She never understood it. “Shall we?” she asked as she grabbed his arm and headed towards the glorious amusement park.

    If there was one thing that absolutely baffled him, it was the budget that kept all these lights and arcade up and running as if it was new, the rides the plays were seemingly at their prime and the theme park itself was quite an impressive sight to see. The crimson eyes of the former SOLDIER widened in bewilderment at the amazement of the lights and everything entertainment at the Gold Saucer. But he could not focus on this for long for according to his eavesdropping, Ryu would be here, for some unknown mission, but he had a feeling that if it involved a high official in this whole thing, it had to be something dark and somewhat dangerous. If that was the case, he could not risk losing Ryu in the scruffle.

    He proceeded along, momentarily abandoning his deep twist in his chest to enjoy the childish sights and sounds of the theme park around him.

    (Best I could do, good seeing you guys)

    Scratching his cheek as the crossword infront of him gave more vague hints with each passing number. It had been a good thirty minutes since Zephron first picked up the newspaper and skipped over to the puzzle page and here he was now still stuck on thirteen down.

    Hearing the president ask them if they were hungry, Zeph for a moment could taste a nice tender piece of lamb with creamy mashed potatoes with peas and home made gravy. But the moment had gone and now staring at Syn, Zephron shook his head at his brother and then continued on with his crossword.

    "Mr President we've arrived." Came the voice over the Tannoy.
    "Let's go." Zephron simply said as he opened up the car door.

    Above them towered Gold saucer, Zephron could hear the distant sound of music. Colourful lights blazed down from the top, this was a marvel to behold. Shinra should have been proud of this creation, he knew Rufus' father was but Rufus himself didn't seem to bothered.

    "Mr.President lets go and catch the next tram up." Sliding his sun glasses up the roof of his nose Zephron waited patiently for the president to leave the comfort of his car.

    Putting the book down as he tried to ponder what he wanted to eat, Rufus wanted something sweet. A cake seemed appealing but not just a cake he also wanted something a little different perhaps a nice tortilla wrap with chicken, peppers and a nice hot sauce.

    Hearing Syn talk was actually amusing, He had seen Syn act like this a few times but this one just seemed more amusing than the others. The way he was moving his body just made the president smirk.
    "Sober up Syn." The blonde simply said before leaving the stopped vehicle.
    Around him stood crowds of people waiting to get onto the blue tram. The queues looked like as if they could go on forever but what should he care he was after all the worlds most powerful man.

    Walking slightly behind his two guards, Rufus felt his stomach rumble as the thought of food flooded his mind once again.
    Walking past the queues of people the trio heard the crowd mutter amongst themselves, some praising their president the others hissing at him.

    "Lets make a stop for food when we arrive."

    [I’d like to state Selene is on a different tram than Angel, Ryan, and Ankoku so Ankoku doesn’t try to kill her for being annoying. >.<]

    Selene’s eyes lit up as the bright lights came into view. The carnival-sque music echoed from every direction as fireworks lit up the sky. Selene couldn’t sit still on the trolley. She was like a child rather than an adult. Blue sat there with his arms folded in a corner staring at his older sister with one eye. The couple in the trolley with them didn’t seem comfortable as she rocked the cart with her childish antics, but they didn’t dare speak up with her weapon so obvious exposed. As soon as the lift parked, the two exited before Selene could get out. She stood there a bit confused as she watched them hurry into the park. “Some people are just so rude!” she exclaimed with a pout. Blue stood up and pushed Selene out the cart.

    “What are we doing first, then?” he asked curiously as they stood at the entrance. Selene was bouncing around like a child. She always got that way whenever she was here. Blue stared at the small girl as she stood entranced by something. The tall male waved his hand in front of her face and got no response. He looked up towards what she stared at and smirked. “You’re not tall enough,” he teased as he watched a rollercoaster zoom by.

    “Am too! ” she protested just like a child, stomping her feet. “I’ve been tall enough for the last three years, I just get distracted and forget to get on it…” Selene’s words became softer the more she spoke as she twiddled her fingers. She loved fast things, but she also had a slight paranoia about heights. Blue shrugged. “I’d say get a room, then hit up every section, but I don’t think we should plan to stay here for a week. You have a job now.”

    “Let’s go to the Chocobo races! ” she exclaimed with her fist in the air. Blue looked at her curiously then smirked. He pushed his older sister inside before she scared away oncoming customers. Selene looked around, wide eyed. She loved this place so much! The dark skinned girl ran towards the slide leading to the races and waved for Blue to follow. “Did you know sometime after you were born, we came here, ” she reminisced. “It was the first time mom decided to try gambling. I watched the race so amazed and bewildered. I asked her if I could become a jockey when I grew up, and she told me no because they weren’t strong people. So I told her I’d become a Chocobo because they were strong enough to run fast and carry a person at the same time. ”

    “You know, it’s impossible for you to become a Chocobo,” he said, completely confused to point of the story. Blue paused for a moment as he rubbed his chin. “Well, I might be able to figure a why to rearrange your genetic structure if you want, but I’d advise against such an unethical procedure.” He threw up his hands and shook his head. He preferred to have a human sister rather than a Chocobo, but he would love her regardless. “Why do you always have to take things there? I was six, Christian,” Selene asked a bit peeved. He rarely understood sentimental points. Selene shook her head as she put her hand over her face. Whatever woman he ended up would need the patience of saint, or just a very literal person.

    “Blue,” he corrected her.

    “Christian!” she yelled, sticking out her tongue. It was hard to tell she was the older child.
