Hey, looking for some advice! I need to find something pink. Clothing or an accessory. I've got this really important meeting, and I'm supposed to wear pink. Except I'm really new to this place and I literally don't know where any of the shops are.

Not that I'm lost or anything. I've got an awesome sense of direction and all of that.

Anyway, uh, advice is totally wanted. Not the greatest at picking out clothes and stuff.

Oh, and is there a weapons vendor anywhere?

Thanks!

[Does he think that the texting is basically just Shinra's internal E-mail system? Totally. Is that why he's signing off like it's an e-mail? ABSOLUTELY. Poor guy hasn't done casual texting before.]

I dunno...this sure sounds like the kinda post someone lost might make! Are you positive you're not lost?

-Aerith

p.s. you don't have to sign off

[legacy_blade]

[Aerith. Well damn, he didn't think far enough ahead to realize she might see this. This is where Kunsel would mock him, isn't it? Or Angeal.]

Yep, very positive. I'm great at getting around. This place just isn't laid out logically.

-Zack

p.s. but if I don't how will people know who sent this?

[cetrary]

[ Text is nice because it hides any sort of shock or anxiety she may have. ]
It's got a logical illogicalness to it. You kinda get used to it after a bit.

It automatically lists names. Pretty fancy, huh?

[legacy_blade]

[He's sorry for the shock. He didn't expect her to see this. Sometimes he doesn't think far enough ahead.]

Oh, it does? Uh, how do I find those names? Man, this was never my specialty.

[cetrary]

Wellll if you choose the video or call options there's a list of everyone that shows up. it takes some practice to master it.

still prefer talking to someone in person though

Oh! The markets are quite easy to find. If you keep going west from where you arrived, that rather large fountain, you'll end up there. There's usually quite a lot of people heading there. Pink is a lovely color though, I hope you have luck in finding something you like!

A friend has informed me of a weapons smith in...I believe he said the harbor district? I am afraid I have not been myself though.

[legacy_blade]

[Wait, this can do voice messages beyond live calls? That is SO damn cool. Or wait, was it a call? Oh man, he never got used to these things.]

Oh, wait, that market area has clothes? Huh. Midgar had a whole fashion district. Wasn't expecting that. But yeah, cool. I'll definitely head to the harbor district. I need quite the sword.

[haruine]

It has quite a lot of things! Where I'm from we have districts for specialized things as well. I have to say, it is rather convenient having everything located in one area here! It's also a bit...quaint in a way?

From what was told to me, you can request custom things there.

[legacy_blade]

Quaint? Place looked busy to me. Quaint describes my home town though. Still, I'll look extra hard tomorrow.

[But he does sound more excited at the idea of custom jobs.]

Oh that's awesome. I'm gonna have to make money because my job is gonna be BIG.

[haruine]

It is, in it's own way! Though nothing like the place I come from. There you're packed shoulder to shoulder almost all the time. [ Which was fine. It was what she was used to. ] What was your home town like?

I happen to favor large weapons myself. Perhaps you could show me when you get yours?

[Unsurprisingly, Cloud is better with text, though, especially when Zack's name gave him a raging headache to begin with. He's working through it, and through all the memories that crop up, through the racing heart rate and the breathing.

It's like when Kunsel's name came up back home, but worse; so much worse.]

Why pink?

[Short, sweet, but it's a complete thought and he's going to be proud of himself for managing it.]

[legacy_blade]

Because I made a promise to someone important. That when we met again, we'd wear pink. Both of us. To celebrate meeting again.

I've got things I've promised to do and I'm going to do them. On my honor.

[mostlycloudy]

Right.

Do they know you're here? You know, so they can get their pink together too?

[legacy_blade]

Yeah. I think she does know. So I'm hoping she's found something pink. Or she's at least wearing her bow.

[mostlycloudy]

Her bow?

[No, he has not actually noticed he hasn't introduced himself, either.]

There aren't many people here from other worlds. Who is she?

[heavenlyhonour]

[Serious blue eyes are rereading this text and Angeal isn't trusting the nagging feeling he's getting here, because it can't be true.]

There's a weapons vendor in town. Are you looking for a sword to be forged?

[legacy_blade]

Oh yeah. Big sword. Two handed. Better than even a great sword. I'm good with them

[heavenlyhonour]

[Ok he's still not believing this.]

Something..like a Buster sword?

[And he hit 'send' before he could take it back. This couldn't be happening, it couldn't.]

[legacy_blade]

Why not? It kept me going for a really long time, Angeal.

[heavenlyhonour]

[He almost dropped the damn thing.]

Pup? Is that really you?

There is an excellent tailor shop located in the market district where I’m sure they would be able to offer you something suitable for your needs in most any shade. I’m sure if you mention it’s for an important meeting, they’ll be happy to make sure it’s just right. I can provide direction if you like, and there is an excellent weapons smith in the city in the harbor district as well.

Also, welcome to this world. I’m Detective Llewellyn Watts-Maresh. Though you’ll find people are a tad less formal with corresponding by text, as odd as I understand it is to get used to if you're from somewhere that letters are more structured.

[legacy_blade]

Really? Oh man, what's it called? I wanna look my best. Same with the smith too. People mentioned that before. Didn't catch a name.

Hello detective. And it's not letters, it's emails!

[gadaboutdetective]

The tailor shop is called ‘A Cut Above’ and I have the utmost confidence that they’ll be able to ensure that you do look your best.

[ Listen, his faith in his husband’s talents is HIGH. ]

And the location for the weapon smith I would recommend is called ‘Bay Blades,’ I have attached a small sketch indicating a rough outline of the locations of both, if that assists further.

[ It’s not a good one, or anything. Sorry for the chicken scratch, Zack. ]

Ah- emails, then. I wasn’t entirely sure, and my mind tends to go to letters first given where I'm from. Still, you’ll find communication is far more casual.

[legacy_blade]

Huh, interesting. I think I can work with these.

[Dude is going to get SO lost.]

[gadaboutdetective]

[ This would be unsurprising. Llewellyn did his best, but he wasn’t good at giving directions, considering his penchant for getting directions mixed up himself. It would have been easier to walk the guy there, unfortunately. ]

I’m glad to hear it! If there is anything else you have questions about, I’d be happy to answer, as I’ve been here for quite a while now.
