Who: Bloodsport crew
Broadcast: nope

[Even in the midst of this, we still have new crew shuffled in. Nice to see the Atroma are all business as usual, right? Welcoming Kaname to a pretty miserable ship, all things considered. :|]

[Well, the mako eyes definitely remind her of Cloud, but that doesn't... necessarily mean they know each other. Of course, what are the odds of him also visiting here. That's weird. She's just gonna peer at him curiously over her armful of paperwork.]

Visiting a friend? [Or relative? Or fellow ex-military guy with identity issues and a shitty attitude?]

yes, no, definitely yes]

Oh, hey! Yeah, I'm here for Cloud. Are you part of the ship?

[he's been around before but hasn't seen her, so maybe she's new.]

[...huh.]

Inasmuch as anyone is. [He's a friendly sort, so she gives him a friendly smile, albeit a puzzled one.] I'm Nami, the Captain. You guys from the same place, I take it? I think he's in his room.

[He's often in his room. Unless he's throwing up in the bridge or readjusting her chair WITHOUT PERMISSION.]

Yep, same world! Slightly different time, so I've been told, but we know each other. You'll probably see me around a lot, so sorry in advance for invading your space. Name's Zack, nice to meet you.

Likewise. [This doesn't compute. Wryly:] You're, uh. A lot friendlier than I'd have imagined.

[Zack just laughs.]

You're not the first to say that to me! I won't deny that I'm kinda weird as far as SOLDIERs go. Can't say why, though- it's not like the frowning face is in the job description.

[Oh, they're soldiers. Yeah, that can mess people up.]

You should tell Cloud that. I don't think he's done anything but scowl since I've met him.

[That's not entirely true. Sometimes he looks sulky instead. And as of late, guilty. But definitely no smiles.]

[he's a SOLDIER, and a soldier, but Cloud's a soldier yet not a SOLDIER. makes sense right]

Sorry, he doesn't take orders from me. I have seen him smile, though! You mostly have to get him around Aerith to see it.

[Totally, it's not confusing at all. I mean what.]

Yeah? I don't suppose this Aerith is also on the Fleet, are they?

She is, actually! She's on the Blue Fish.

Huh.

[Well, between Zack and Aerith at least she has an idea of where he keeps vanishing to.]

Well, no offense, but I'm kind of glad he has the company.

No offense taken. Knowing Cloud, I'm pretty sure he's glad for it, too.

[Even if things had been kind of awkward at the start with him, at least Aerith's presence helped... well, everything. And they've more or less sorted it out.]

Glad for it from particular people, maybe. [But eh. As long as he's not a complete shut-in, it's probably good.]

Aww, don't let him trick you. Cloud's not sullen so much as awkward. S'long as people aren't pestering him too much he's probably fine.

[he's like a chocobo, if you pet and compliment him he'll preen]

[...orly.][He's doomed tbh.] But I'll take good care of him while he's on my ship, anyway. Whether he likes it or not.

[Sorry not sorry Cloud]

Gotta admit, I'm glad he has somebody keeping an eye on him when we're not around. Trouble follows that guy sometimes, I swear.

I know the type. [She is the type.] But he seems like a smart enough guy, unlike some I've met.

Yeah, he's good. Just don't set your expectations too high. Types like us make dumb-as-a-brick decisions all the time.

[did you know he dressed a catdog in a sailor suit for a disguise and got away with it?]

Don't I know it.

[Cloud what the fuck.]

So far so good, though. I'll just brace for possible future disaster at some point.

[Like getting the ship blown out of the sky or something unlikely like that. Whoops.]

[WHOOPS INDEED what are the chances of that hahaha]

Good plan! Anyway, it was awesome to meet you, but I'd better be on my way. I'll see you around, okay?

[got sparring to do! and maybe teasing, because meeting someone's roommates is the best way to get dirt on them.]

You got it. Nice meeting you, Zack.

[Go forth and mock your best friend or something. She waves him off cheerily.]
