Re: audio

A mutiny? That sounds pretty dangerous.

Was it on you, or were you the one carrying it out?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Neither. I was caught in the middle.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

That sounds awful. How did everything get resolved? It doesn't sound like anything is...peaceful.

Not really.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Like I said, it is now. It wasn't then.

Good prevails over evil, as it should. The great beast of a general had to see that he had been putting his own interests over that of his men. His favorite ensign was demoted. And the world can go as it should.

Do you have war, where you're from?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Yes, we do.

When I was a child, there was a war of one...power against another. A country named Wutai.

Wutai no longer exists as it was.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Oh? What happened?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Shinra sent out their strongest and crushed them like another would fruit.

I don't really remember all the details. But...Wutai was brought in and couldn't do what it did before, especially for gathering energy.

It was a resource grab, after all.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

And which side were you on?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

The Shinra side, I guess. I didn't take part or anything- I would be too young.

But I heard it from adults and the news.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Everyone is on a side. Sometimes they just don't realize it.

What is life like now?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

For awhile it was quiet. But things have picked up again, but that's not war.

What was life like before the mutiny?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Mundane, fortunately. Nothing of note.

[He laughs.]

I'm sorry. I am not the best storyteller.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

That's okay. If there's any other details of your home, yourself- I'll be happy to listen.

I'm sure there's more to you then someone caught between two parties.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Maybe that's what I'm here to learn.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Maybe so.

Or maybe...you'll find out who you want to be?

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

A lofty goal, signora. I can only hope that's the case.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Maybe.

But what sort of things do you like Iago? Maybe I can see about getting it as a treat this week.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Oh! How fortunate for me!

[He laughs.]

I am a man who loves sweets.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

What can I say? I like making peoples days a little better!

[She offers a gentle laugh.]

What kind of sweets? Maybe I can make them myself.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

What about something from your world?

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Chocolate chip cookies then?

They're pretty good. I can try making them into shapes, if you want.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Delightful!

I cant wait.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Of course!

Give me a few hours. It'll need time to cool.

Re: audio

[knowmyplace]

Wonderful. Grazie.

Re: audio

[planetdialup]

Welcome!

[And a few hours later:]

Cookies are done! Where should I deliver them?
