-walks into his office and slides a box of chocolates onto his desk- "I was shopping and saw these gourmet chocolates. I thought you might be interested!" :)

                                           @rookie-turk​

         PERIPHERAL caught sight of the box sliding towards him on the desk. Gaze lifting to the owner of the familiar voice, lips curved into a faint smile. It was moments like this he legitimately wondered how she managed to join the Turks. Just like the chocolates she bought, Elena was too sweet to join a group known to do dirty work. Maybe that was why she was treated so much like a secretary. Still, as much as he appreciated the gift, he couldn’t help but lightly tease her.

                       ❝  Is this your way of bribing me? I’m not this cheap, unless your request is a small one.  ❞     A hand motioned for her to continue, eagerly awaiting her response.

"Hey, Sephiroth? Why do you keep your hair long? Doesn't it get in the way during battle?"

“I would think that you Turks would have better things to do than to inquire into such trivial matters.” He eyed the woman as if searching for some ulterior motive to her inquiries, the General ever suspicious of anyone and everyone. “As for the why, it is mere preference and nothing more. It does not impede my effectiveness in combat and thus is entirely irrelevant.”

[imnevergonnagiveyouup]

"Cloud!" The blonde-haired 'rookie' (although she'd been a Turk for years, she seemed to be cursed with the title) winced at the over-enthusiasm in her voice, then stopped and smiled. "Glad you made it home safe." She winced again; 'Stop being so damn friendly, Elena!' She mused angrily, groaning at Cloud's face. "... Anyway. We Turks have been keeping our eyes on you, and we noticed you've been down. So... here." She held out handful of lillies, freshly picked. "T-This is from the others too!"

@rookie-turk

   Can the day feel any longer than it actually has to be? Universe don’t answer that. Cloud paces through the streets of Edge without a destination in mind, an aimless limbo without conclusion, prisoner to his thoughts once more. It gets tiring listening to the same song over and over again—it gets overplayed, it gets on the nerves, quirks up some rage—it’s what happens when the mind is the one with the most control instead of it being the other way around. Visually, one can easily come to the assumption that sleep’s not been very kind to Cloud as of late, it hasn’t been his best friend or a friend at all in the first place. The lack of sleep is obvious by just looking at his eyes, his less than lax posture, and the way his footing seems uneven. For the most part it’s purposeful, a state of his own design by will and choice alone even if it didn’t initially start that way. Nightmares haunt him in the dream realm, in a reality that mocks this one but it’s different with him. Sometimes there’s difficulties, sometimes he can’t tell the difference. He can’t tell apart if the blood on his hands is real, if the corpse of his friend is what it is because he’s chosen to strike them down at will, he can’t tell if he’s to break free of those shackles will he still be the one in control? Or will it be someone else who’s not there? It’s headache. ‘Fuck..’ An inward curse as he comes to a stop and rests a hand on his forehead, feeling how its pulse is far more intense than it should be. Maybe he should tell someone, talk to someone-

Nah.

   Well, that immediately gets voted out without as much of a second thought. It’s something he should attempt however, and of that he’s more than aware of. But, the sound of his name being yelled from a distance away dictates that it’ll be something he could look into later. His disconnect isn’t as strong anymore so that’s comforting at least. “…?” The name of the bearer escapes for a moment, but it is a voice he recognizes, there’s a joyous hop to it.

   “Elena?” It’s like a swig when he catches flight of her after looking behind him. It’s sure been a while. He doesn’t even want to wonder what she might want because chances are it’s at the instruction of Rufus so he’s going to nip it at the bud before she continues. Sweet talk is just that after all, mere sweet talk. “I’m not interested. Tell Rufus to look for someone else.” He’s no one’s dirty laundry handler, let alone SHINRA’s or- well, what’s currently left of them as they try to build back that glory of theirs. She trails off with something he’s already vaguely aware of, but why they’d keep prints of his workings goes beyond him. He doesn’t do anything special, he’s just a delivery boy now. He wants normalcy and some smooth sailing for a change. “..Must be borin’.” He interjects without amusement and shaking his head. However as she continues things seem to take a turn given that what he’s come to assume isn’t a truth so it sparks some interest. ‘Noticed I’ve been..down?’ He wonders. Just how close have these suited fellows been keeping an eye on him anyway? His tired eyes widen slightly at the sight of the flowers and what looks like to be what the turks had been dishing up for him. “Flowers?” He questions, staring at them before he takes them from her hands. For some reason he has a difficult time believing this is a delivery from all of them but..regardless of the source the gesture in itself is kind and of that he acknowledges without a fault. This ordeal makes an end of his lip lift up into what can quality as a smile. “Thanks, I guess.” Not something that happens everyday, but he’ll take it whatever it is.

Oh boy. This always seemed to be a problem one way or another since he lived in a bar. The boy had to interact with drunkards on occasion and it looked like Elena was the culprit for this evening. As soon as his ears caught the sound of her cooing the boy froze glancing over at the blond. There goes his chance to leave the room undetected. Before Denzel even had a chance to respond, he saw Elena sliding off the stool heading towards him only to immediately give his cheek a pinch as she smiled at him which actually wasn’t too difficult to handle. A mess? She was more than a mess. She had to be the drunkest person in the bar already in his personal opinion. “You sure that’s cause you didn’t drink too much? Maybe it’d be better if you sat back down...”

"Rumor has it, you'd like to take me home with you... But then again, this is Reno's word, not mine."

Send “Rumour has it…” and a rumour about my muse in my ask!

“Reno often misunderstands... and gets excited when he shouldn’t. Don’t pay any attention to his rumours.”

[wheresmygoddamntea]

The blonde Turk gave a small wave and smile to the pilot. "Hello, Captain Highwind." She greeted, nodding to him.

“The #$%^ you want? I damn well know when you Turks show up to the party it’s nothing good.” The pilot grunted, eyeing the woman suspiciously.

👄 (For Zacky-poo

“That’s one way to say good morning.” Zack smiles vibrantly as he rests his hands on Elena’s shoulders. 

[proxnotxaxfool]

At the sound of someone opening the door, Elena turned her head away from her freshly brewed coffee to see who it was. Upon realizing that it was Reno, a smile crossed her lips. "Good morning. Let me guess..." She hummed in mock thought as she stirred creamer into her coffee. "... Hungover? High? Running on no sleep? What's happening with ShinRa's favourite redhead today?"

coffee - he could smell it before he even made his way into the kitchen. perfect timing so. dipping his head in a nod at her greeting, reno grabbed a mug from the cupboard overhead, reaching around the blonde to pour himself a cup of the fresh brew.

a smirk tugged on the corner of his mouth as he heard her teases - pffft, hungover? nope. wouldn’t be seen for another or hour or two if that were the case? high? nahhh. no sleep? maybe that was half true - but there was no clause saying he had to be truthful neither, and it might annoy her back if he dance around a straight answer for a while.

‘ wouldn’t you love to know, lil’ miss laney ... but that’s still just a little above your paygrade, rookie. ’

"NO!" -- rookieturk

@rookieturk

She knew that Elena’s job was to protect her, but she still wasn’t expecting the other woman to tackle her into the wall, earning a loud squeak from the surprised scientist. She thought she heard bullets striking against the back wall, having been aimed at them. 

[aonemanarmy]

@rookie-turk said: I’m sobbing, this is so funny to me for some reason?! 😂😂                

ooc: I’m guessing it’s all the ‘irrelevants’ in the answers. I know it cracks me up just having a wall of them or N/As like on the last one I filled out for him, but let’s be honest, that’s pretty much canon Sephiroth.           

[imnevergonnagiveyouup]

"Hi Cloud!" The rookie Turk slowly walked towards the swordsman, waving anxiously. For once, she was in casual clothing; a pink hoodie and a pair of simple blue jeans. "I was thinking... Would you like to go to dinner some time? No ShinRa business, I promise."

@rookie-turk

   “I should be back at some point tonight.” So he passes his farewells, waving at the kids and Tifa whilst dismissing himself from the bar to begin his workday filled with deliveries. The demand this week hasn’t been so out of control, something he finds himself thankful for given that on his free time he’s given the opportunity to work on his blades, Fenrir, and help around the bar. Of course spending time with the others is also a plus, but Cloud’s a man who appreciates staying busy to keep his mind off things, keep him attached to now, the present, and today. Perhaps not a task of major difficulties to the general population, but to him it’s a challenge in itself. Thus far he hasn’t done too shabby, but he’s not going to count on fortune for this one. As he paces towards Fenrir only a mere distance away he slips on his gloves and once before his beloved vehicle he secures the packages he already does have on it, wanting to make sure they won’t fall on his way to here and there. He isn’t entirely packed today, at least with his usual wear, going with a simple black leather jacket, but not without his trusted fusion sword. That thing stays no matter what. Just when he’s about to mount Fenrir someone makes the effort to catch his attention, at this point it’s semi-familiar so he doesn’t wonder too much. Turning around he verifies his suspicions, it’s Elena. She’s making it quite common to linger around these parts, dropping by every so often in the bar thankfully not under orders to get to him. Of that Cloud feels plenty of relief, she just drops by as a customer. “Hey.” He greets, leaning his weight back against Fenrir and crossing his arms over his chest. “Not on duty?” He quirks an eyebrow up, taking an educated guess out of the lack of the familiar black suit. He’s actually kind of surprised. Who would’ve thought! They wear other things beyond black suits and they have days off too! It’s kind of ridiculous to think that, but these are pretty rare instances, especially at times like these.

   “Dinner?” He ponders on the word with furrowed brows. Why’d she want him to tag along for something like that? Is she looking for options? He’s got a few in mind. “Tifa runs dinner hours at the bar,” he motions, pointing behind him to the bar with his thumb. “Schedule for that’s on the wall.” Maybe he can help the bar with that a bit, a little push. “There’s a lot of good food.” What she’s trying to do and ask goes right over his head, but he’s none the wiser. “I have deliveries to make” he continues, now mounting Fenrir, starting it and slipping his goggles over his eyes. “See ya’.” With that he bids farewell and with a roar from Fenrir he’s on his way to keep himself according to what schedule he’s got already mapped out within his head.

The brunette watched the blond with a partially arched brow as she addressed him as if he were maybe five years old. He was ten, there was a huge difference but he supposed he should be thankful that she wasn’t doing anything else that was weird like hugging him or whatever displays of affection that adults showed kids sometimes. Standing behind the counter, the boy kept an eye on her.

“Tifa and Cloud aren’t here. Cloud’s on a delivery and Tifa went out a while ago so I’m the only one here.” he replied picking up an already clean glass to clean again to pass the time or at least look busy. “And Marlene isn’t my sister, she just staying here while her Dad’s…someplace else.” Denzel explained placing the glass down. “Business? What kind of business are you talking about?”

[Stops you as you walk past, gives you a big smooch, then continues making coffee]

Tseng froze at the sudden, forward behaviour from Elena before then clearing his throat and adjusting his tie.

Well, nobody saw, no harm done.

“I take mine black, if you’re doing a round,” was his only comment.

@rookie-turk

Elena bit back tears that threatened to trickle down her face, and took a step towards him. “So you want to be alone forever?! Is that it, huh?!” She yelled, losing her her own willpower. She desperately wiped away her tears and let out a choked sob. “I offer to take you in! I seem to be the only damn person who cares about you, and you do this shit to me?!” She grabbed him by the collar and yanked him close, holding her face right up to his. “I don’t want you to die again, okay?! No-one deseves it! Not even you! Hell, you did what you were told to do! I’m just as bad!” Slowly, she let her grip on his collar loosen. Her gaze fell downwards in shame, and she gently rested her forehead against his chest. “… Please, don’t go…”

The former general didn’t know how to respond to this sudden outpouring of emotion which was all but foreign to him. He could not understand any of it or where it was coming from, but then again anything but hatred or indifference was beyond him. So to see this he could only stare blankly, his face a perfect mask as he tried to logically sort through what he was witnessing.

“I have always been alone, I do not know anything different.” It was true too, as he had always been isolated for as long as he could remember. The man may have had scientists and doctors around him his whole life, but they were all observers just like any other and he held no attachment to them. He held no attachments to anyone and he kind of drifted through life doing as he was ordered and nothing more.

So it perplexed him as to why this Turk would care in the slightest, especially to the point of actually daring to touch him. The whole mess made him feel tempted to step back to put distance between them, but his pride made him remain where he was and steel himself against the discomfort.

“Why do you care? What does it matter to you?”
