You play piano as well?
[ As for their next performance— Verso's been optimistically pounding the pavement and securing gigs for them, even though it feels uniquely strange to plan for the future after today, this particular day, this massive looming question mark over her head. She'll work up to letting Cloud know the time. Just can't decide yet if it superstitiously feels like counting her eggs before they're hatched, and if she ought to wait to say something until tomorrow morning, lest… well. ]

I don't think I could ever learn to play the guitar, is what I meant
I learned the piano as a kid. My neighbor had a piano and I took lessons with her mom
Not a lot going on in a small town like that as a kid I guess
no subject
What did you prefer doing as a child instead? If the piano wasn't a passion?
[ Clearly, the easier distraction here is pivoting and turning to interrogate Cloud. ]
no subject
looking at tifahmm.... )
I really enjoyed the time I spent with my mom
( mama's boy )
Didn't really find something to be passionate about until I joined the army though

I wanted to be a hero.

From what I understand, an army isn't necessarily th[ Lune doesn't laugh. She does kneejerk question the correlation, almost starts to poke a hole in it, but thankfully manages to rein herself in at the last moment; remembers in the nick of time to be gentle with someone else's hopes and dreams. (She, too, can be nice!!) ]
Is that what they were?
no subject
Yeah. Where I was from
( a pause. that sends, but the sentence is incomplete. he tries again: )
I told you about my village
It was a man from the military. Someone I looked up to. Was my hero
Sephiroth
( do you feel that crackle in the air, of something ominous? no? just him? ok )
I wanted to be like him
no subject
What a worse betrayal, when done by someone you'd looked up to and once wanted to model yourself after. She has her own issues with her role models, but at least it hadn't been this. Lune flounders for a moment; she's still unsure what the right thing to say is, but she tries. ]
I'm sorry.
You can still define yourself outside of him.
no subject
especially when he says something like: )
I'm past that. I'll kill Sephiroth and stop him this time
no subject
Hypothetically. If he were to show up here one day, as a fluxdrift. Would you want to kill him?
no subject
( the quickest text he's ever sent. it's almost like he wants this to happen!! wonder why.. )
I won't let him hurt anyone.
no subject
It's a distinctive name. I'll of course let you know if I ever run into him. What does he look like?
no subject
Tall. Taller than Verso
Long silver hair, green eyes, and he wields an incredibly long sword
If you ever see him — get away from him. Don't let him know that you know me.
( this shit is so serious, lune )
no subject
[ lune is quite literally taking note ]
In the same spirit: If you ever meet an older man named Renoir, with greying hair and a cane, who speaks the same language we do... do let me and Verso know?
But especially me. Me first, actually, if you can.
[ She might or might not have some doubts about Verso being forthcoming with the information himself. ]
no subject
What'd he do?
spoilers for both act 1 and 2
He killed my best friend. He killed everyone.
I would kill him, too.
Don't hurt him.
He's Verso's --
It's all too much and she can't blab the other man's baggage to a third party, not like this. So: ]
It's complicated. He's also dangerous. Don't engage him, but don't attack him either. Simply let us know.
no subject
( okay... so, this is the exact opposite of what him texting lune is supposed to accomplish, isn't it? distract her from complicated shit, or whatever.
............... )
By the way
What do you do for fun? Other than asking me questions
( he's joking ok )
no subject
[ Jokes??? She’s got jokes.
The truth is, Lune’s still figuring out the whole for fun thing. So she has to actively resist the urge to mention her work and studies and more pragmatic pursuits, but she tries: ]
I play guitar, as you know, and sometimes write my own music. I read. Occasionally watch television. Why?
no subject
What about card games?
no subject
[ She likes anything complicated, mathematical, trick-taking, and competitive. 😇 ]
no subject
I don't know any of those
I know War though
