☈ strike #04 (voice / action)

[thestormishere]

[ It takes a while before Lightning finally attempts getting in touch with those she interacted with the most (and who she assumes probably figured out who she actually was) while aged down and in Zack's body. When she does, it's filtered to those mentioned, but not particularly secured against hacking or anything, clearly having been 'posted' quickly and with a tone of voice that's very short and to the point. ]

Zack, Aerith, Cloud- we need to talk.

[ And after that's all been taken care of, well... all that's left is to gather up her dignity and try to move on from the whole damn mess, right? Get some fresh air and cool her head, pick up something from the grocery that isn't in a can and won't choke her with flavor....

Problem is... the experiments' effects are far from done with her.



One of these is what Lightning is this evening, instead of the pink-haired ex-soldier she should be. And as if suddenly finding herself as a chocobo isn't bad enough, that's when that oh-so-nice random teleportation kicks in too, sending her... oh, who knows. The middle of town? Your front porch? Who wouldn't want a massive eight foot tall yellow bird in their bathroom? Look at those long curly eyelashes and huge killer claws! ♥ ]

... Glad that's settled then.

[ Meaning... okay, weird. Perhaps she'll have to find out what is worse than that, some time. 8| But for now: ]

Listen. It's probably best if we just forget about it.

Forgetting about it is kinda asking for a lot. But I'm cool with not mentioning it again if that's what you want. [It's just plain rude to bother a lady with something she doesn't want to talk about, anyway.]

[thestormishere]

... Then don't discuss it with any others. Understood?

[ There's a bit of the 'I'm a soldier of rank and nothing intimidates me' thing creeping in here without Lightning really even thinking about it, but... she's pretty damn serious about this. Even if she is a little uneasy. Def. not a little girl any more, though. ]

Yeah I get you. Not really anyone else's business anyway.

[Man, she's so serious. It kind of takes the fun out of things.]

[thestormishere]

[ Yeah, she's just not a very fun kind of girl. She gives a kind of relieved sigh though, tilting her chin down. ]

Thank you. Zack.

[Considering how many serious people he's befriended, it doesn't really ruffle him. He just offers up a casual salute, smiling. He's glad she seems to feel more at ease about things now.]

No problem, Lightning. I figure I'll see you around?

[ Well isn't he a charmer? That might get a slight eyebrow arch out of her. ]

Most likely. I live in this building too, you know.

[ And with that she just turns coolly and moves to go around him back inside. Yeeeaaah...! ]
