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?

From:

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.

From:

knowmyplace

Oh? What happened?

From:

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.

From:

knowmyplace

And which side were you on?

From:

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.

From:

knowmyplace

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

What is life like now?

From:

planetdialup

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

What was life like before the mutiny?

From:

knowmyplace

Mundane, fortunately. Nothing of note.

[He laughs.]

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

From:

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.

From:

knowmyplace

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

From:

planetdialup

Maybe so.

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

From:

knowmyplace

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

From:

planetdialup

Maybe.

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

From:

knowmyplace

Oh! How fortunate for me!

[He laughs.]

I am a man who loves sweets.

From:

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.

From:

knowmyplace

What about something from your world?

From:

planetdialup

Chocolate chip cookies then?

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

From:

knowmyplace

Delightful!

I cant wait.

From:

planetdialup

Of course!

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

From:

knowmyplace

Wonderful. Grazie.

From:

planetdialup

Welcome!

[And a few hours later:]

Cookies are done! Where should I deliver them?

From:

knowmyplace

Oh! How expedient.

I am in the common room at present. Third floor.

From:

planetdialup

On my way! Hope you're comfortable.

Be there shortly!

[And she's off! There's a thermos filled with coffee too with her basket full of cookies.]

Iago, yes?

From:

knowmyplace

Iago is lounging in a chair, an unmarked book in hand. He raises his eyebrows when she approaches and sets it aside with a smile. "I did not expect you this soon," he remarks playfully.
