"Hey! You've reached Cayde, but either I'm busy or I'm busy. Either way, go ahead and leave a message...or don't. Obviously I won't get back to you if it's the latter."

[ A thought is a start of a plan. It might not be a full plan it might not be a full thought. It can start something later on if they ever need to play that card. ]

We can filter it's power into mako energy. We know that people die and they go into the Lifestream. There's theories that we might see things that the dead might be doing. I-- I've seen those things before. It's hard to explain.

[ Kind of like spirits, ghosts, there's a lingering presence for those that die too. They may not make it fully into the Lifestream or those that do can channel it. ]

I was meant to become a clone of Sephiroth. So I have certain cells within my body.

[ He's not going to stop there for a moment to see what Cayde reacts to. ]

Yeah. I didn't believe to be myself. [ Cloud sighs while looking at Cayde. The Exo did hear him correctly. It's not exactly easy to talk about. ]

I had been a failed experiment. I've been injected with the same cells as Sephiroth as well as mako infusion. I was meant to become another him.

[ It is a whole new level of no, Cayde. He's not sure what Cayde or anyone would have seen with picking up the feather. ]

Zack had been part of that too. He... He saved me as best as he could. I lived his life not really knowing everything that had happened. I don't know anything from Nibelheim to Midgar. All I can remember is Zack talking to me. But only bits and pieces.

I told you that my story is long and I know that yours is too. I've been through... [ He shrugs while making a slight gesture. ] enough to know things. I'm just bad at explaining them.

[ Cloud looks away while feeling heat rising from his neck, maybe he's a bit embarrassed by all of this. Maybe he's holding back some of those emotions he had already shown Cayde once before. But this wasn't dreamland but reality. ]

Yeah, I know. Strong will. But with this disease I may not be at times. I ended up getting it because of the cells within me. I was never touched by the Lifestream.

[ He looks at Cayde while relaxing his gesture a bit and putting his hands onto his knees. ]

From what I've seen of people going into their flare ups, their eyes changes. My eyes will look more like Sephiroth's. Do you remember how they looked? I don't know if that means anything with the disease but...

[ He doesn't know. Cloud shakes his head. ] I really don't know what it means. I went on a path that avoided people. Maybe I felt I could become him again or be controlled by him. I'm not really sure what can happen here.

[ Cloud frowns knowing that this is probably the reason why he's not really wanting to tell people. He knows it's better if they knew. But he doesn't really know what he wants from them. Cloud locks eyes with Cayde's while biting his bottom lip and moves his hands up his thighs. ]

I don't know. What do you want to do?

[ He gives a shrug. ]

You can stick with me if you want to. I'm not going to force you. [ He smirks a little at the sit on comment. ] What kind of sitting on are you suggesting?

I'm not really asking for a babysitter. I already have two friends that I'm going to be staying with. I really don't want to be myself but that's already somewhat handled. I'll let you know if it gets that bad. But I'm not quite sure when the really bad might happen.

[ He presses his lips together. He puts up a finger while pointing it at Cayde. ]

I'll let that one slide. He doesn't really know about personal space.

[ Cloud tilts his head at Cayde. ]

I have other pressing matters to worry about. Attachments isn't really on that list.

Yeah, they already know about it. It's been acting up a little bit. Mostly pain for now. But that's usually the start. It's been different since I got here.

[ There really is no special condition that he could see. Everyone started the same way. Before they ended up getting to the worse of it all. ]

I won't forget it. He was making it very known at the common table.

[ He moves a hand up to fiddle a piece of hair while looking at Cayde. ]

Are you keeping yourself busy? Besides for card games and sharpening your knives?

There's not much else to do about it.

[ He already knows what signs to sort of look for. Everyone else might grow concerned over time on how he looks. Cloud will start to look tired, maybe have a bit of bags under his eyes. He might look like death ran him over one day but look fine the next. ]

Do you always have people this figured about? Or is it that you two are close?

[ Or was it only to certain people? ]

That's another thing that I need to do. I need to stay busy but not really get myself into trouble by doing so.

[ He raises his eyebrows at that. ]

You tried contacting the Agrii? Like what kind of interesting things?

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

You're more human than any other machine I have encountered. I know that I said... it at the table but you should know that's not what I meant at all. You're not a car. You have personality than some of us put together.

[ Cloud shakes his head while shrugging. ]

You could say that about anyone. [ Cloud had caught Tony calling him (and his friends) freaks. He hadn't meant to and he's not about to bring that up with Cayde. Cloud gets up from the bed and rubs the back of his neck. ]

Drift Fleet. The Atroma. A few of them were part of something prior to coming here. I heard the Atroma used them for ratings. Pitted them against one another for entertainment. The Atroma used their calibrations for those ratings.

[ He turns his head to glance back at Cayde over his shoulder. ]

What do the Agrii plan to do with do it?

It shouldn't have to come to that. [ He turns to look at Cayde. ] There's people here who can protect others. From what I've seen without your ghost and someone gets a good clean shot, you're dead. I'm not going to let anyone get hurt. We will have to make sure it doesn't go sideways.

[ Cloud wrinkles his nose at the Atroma mention since he doesn't like it at all. ]

Yeah I heard about it. The Atroma could control them. If there's remotely a connection, the Agrii could use the calibrations against us too. I don't exactly like any theory. We can guess what it all means all day long but we can be doing other things.

The connection can show up... everything turns out to be a waiting game.

[ He looks at Cayde. ]

Going back to the keeping busy we could always have a rematch at go fish or you can try to teach me how to play poker now that I'm focused.

What were you going to do to the showers? The rest of us use the showers to clean even if the water is leaning towards being cold all the time. How any bright ideas on making it hot?

I'm going to want to do something about it the more we talk on it. That is not something we can do right now.

[ He crosses his arms against his chest while looking at Cayde. ]

We have time to put in some basic learning.

[ He tilts his head to the side. ]

Actually... do you mind if we put the card game on hold? Breaking one open might not be a bad idea. If there was a vent around I would go for it, wouldn't be the first time I crawled around in one.

What do you mean by that?

[ He's not really the best at hang outs. He's done a lot of competitive gaming types of stuff. ]

I've been through an entire sewer system. If there was another way around it to avoid hitting a water recycler we could try that. But it sounds like that's not possible with the information you just gave.

The door could be a puzzle that we haven't figured out. I don't really know.

[ He looks at Cayde while making a small gesture with his hands. ]

If I'm not fun company I can leave. [ It's not that hard for him to do that. ]

The new arrival suggested it? I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

If we have exhausted all of our options that's the only time we can truthfully say that we're stuck. There's going to be plenty to do if we get out of here.

[ He looks at Cayde. ]

Not missed. I drink sometimes. I might play a few games that are around, probably an arcade type of game. One that holds a score board. Back at home I watched the orphans. [ Cloud glances away. ] Did I mention I spend my time alone? Even though I don't want to be.

We don't know [ Air quotes with his fingers ] "when". Why bring all the heroes to one spot with the calibrations?

I already tried having a voice of save the planet. I can tell you what happened with our choices and the consequences that followed. [ He looks at Cayde. ] They could bring this entire tunnel down upon us.

[ Cloud had thought about that because a plate can take out an entire sector and it's been done before. ]

I like going on long walks. Do you like going on walks? The scenery is fucking boring but having company would be better than staring at walls.
