Sugar and Spice is complete

OTP: Sephiroth/Genesis Rhapsodos

Word count: 9925

Summary: Genesis and Sephiroth have a battle of personal wits as they attend a company party for their boss's son. Both of them take the absolute worst possible person to piss off the other, but neither is particularly happy about it. At least until the party ends.

Rating: Explicit

CW: shameless smut, semipublic sex, alcohol use, drug use, cheating, light Dom/sub, light bondage, colorful language, referenced/implied child abuse

A/N: it all started when @impossiblewynaud sent me a list of demezial prompts on Instagram, asking me to pick one for a Sephesis roleplay. So this is basically sexting through an intermediary. It turned out to be an absolute horny masterpiece. Enjoy!

[solidusgrilo]

Throwback to these Tifa and Scarlet's portrait redraws, in Nomura's artstyle, that i did one year ago, still like them a lot.

[tifa-simp]

I was expecting Tifa to tell Sephiroth to shut the fuck up when he brainwashed Cloud in the temple of the Ancients. Missed opportunity tbh. SE better makes up for this in next game. If Tifa gonna curses anyone in the game, it should absolutely be Sephiroth, next is Corneo.

Shinra and Dog Symbology Analysis

I was listening to this song and I couldn't help but think of Zack's story throughout Crisis Core/Reunion, and ponder on the dog symbolism and it's connection to Shinra.

Shinra represents the familiar yet oppressive force in human society, so having it represented by dogs is brilliant in my opinion. It shows how something can be so beloved and integral to our history can become twisted in the wrong hands.

Case in point, Shira's mascot Stamp.

"On one of the loading screens for Remake it states "A sweet little canine character beloved by the citizens of Midgar. A regular fixture in cartoons and movies, his face is on every corner of the city either in toy or poster form. Originally used as propaganda material during wartime". - ff7 remake wiki

Shinra twists the common association of a dog to manipulate the population feeling for their own objective. For Context, Dogs are usually depicted to symbolize guidance, protection, loyalty, alertness, and love. So seeing Stamp people will tend to automatically assume these positive traits, not including his catchy theme song that gets stuck in your head reinforcing these themes.

Ironically Stamp also shows Shinra's true nature. Negative symbolism for dogs represents Envy, Fury, War, Greed, Pitiless, Bragging, Folly. With lesser known symbolism such as Reckless & Manipulative.

This is even shown more throughout the FF7: Re-Trilogy, for those within Shinra or those who have history with the company.

In-games Examples

-Zack characteristics and nickname of Puppy.

-Genesis calling Tseng a Shinra lapdog.

-Barrett antagonizing Cloud about his loyalty to Shinra , in which he says 'or is he is a loyal little doggy.

-Rufus Pet Dark Star ("A military canine serving as Rufus's personal guard dog. A one-off breed specially enhanced by Shinra's R&D Division, it follows its master's orders without hesitation, and will die to protect him" - FF7 Remake Ultimania)

-The Guard Dogs used or experimented by Shinra.

-The Angeal copy that saves Aerith and dies giving her last letter to Zack.

-etc

Symbolic Examples

-Each of the department heads for Shinra beside Reeve, represents an aspect of the dog's negative symbolism

(Reeves cat symbolism through Cait Sith sets him apart from the rest, and why he joins cloud and co in defying his colleagues).

President Shinra - Greed

Heidegger - Fury/Bragging

Palmer - Folly/Reckless

Scarlett -Pitiless

Hojo - Manipulation

Rufus/Larzard (being sons of the President) - Envy

However the one thing that unites them all is their use or love of War (physical or mental).

Mini Fanfic #1101: XIII V. One Winged Angel (Kingdom Hearts x FF7)

4:23 p.m. at The Lockhart's Bar.........

Sephiroth: (Takes a Sip of his Glass of Red Wine He Was Recently Given While Sitting Behind the Counter) Hm. I must say, this is admittedly decent. (Tales Another Sip of the Drink Before Looking Up at Isa) What's the name of this exactly? Scarlett Red?

Isa: It's actually Risata Moscato Red, one of the most well known wines ever made in Italy.

Barret: (Glaring at Sephiroth the Entire Time) And it'll cost you TWICE as much as the original price.

Lea: Twice as much- (Quickly Count Up the Price With his Fingers Before His Eyes Starta Widening Up) That'llcost him a fortune!

Barret: Exactly.

Sephiroth: (Raised an Eyebrow at His Not Sp Former Enemy) Really, Wallace. Do you always charge extra to every customer you meet?

Barret: (Glare Starts Piercing Harder) I only charge extra to murderous scumbags who has the audacity to waltz in to our establishment after all the convoluted bullcrap you put me and my crew through over the years!

Sephiroth: And I'd be more than glad to do it again if given the proper opportunity.

Barret grits his teeth in pure anger before Lea chimes in at the last second.

Lea: Easy there, big guy. I'm sure he doesn't REALLY mean that. (Let's Out an Awkward Laugh Before Slowly Turning his Head to Sephiroth With a Nervous Look onnhis Face) .....R-Right?

Sephiroth: (Simply Shrugs) Perhaps. But what I DO know is that you have no chance of beating me those time, especially now that you don't have Strife or Lockhart here to hold one of your non mechanical hands.

Barret: (Angrily Slams his Hands Down on the Counter Before Grabbing Sephiroth by the Collar) I don't need any of their help to send your sorry looking ass back to the depths of hell from what you've came!!!

Sephiroth: (Puts on a Small, Evil Smirk on his Face) You're more than welcome to prove it to me. Not like the end results us going to change in any capacity.

Barret: Gladly!

Barret winds his fist up to punch the one winged angel until-

?????/????: DADDY/PI!

The two dads stop what they were doing turns their heads to see Marlene and Pichu pouting at the both of them sitting at a table behind them along with Roxas and Xion.

Marlene: No. Fighting!

Pichu: Pichu!

Barret: (Stares at the Kids For a Brief Second Before Clearing his Throat and Finally Letting Out of Sephiroth's Collar) R-Right.

Sephiroth: (Brushes the Dust Off his Shirt Before Tidying it Up a Bit) Of course.

Barret: Sorry, baby girl....

Lea: (Chuckles Lightly) You two got told off by your own kids!~

Xion: Axel, stop making fun of Mr. Sephiroth and Uncle Barret before Roxas and I come over there!

Roxas: And we'll do it too! Don't test us!

Axel's chuckle deceased immediately as Barret let's out a smug sounding one of his own.

Sephiroth: (Smirks at the Redhead) You were saying?

Lea: ('Sighs in Defeat') I'll shut up now.....

Isa: ('Sigh') Can we all please go back at the topic at hand here? We're wasting more time than I hoped we wouldn't.

Sephiroth: I'm inclined to agree. (Raised an Eyebrow in Curiosity at Isa) So you wanted to know if I'm former with this 'Luxu' person?

Isa: (Simply Nodded) That's correct. Pitto mentioned he instantly recognized you right before he and the Foretellers retreated.

Meanwhile at an Unknown Cave Location........

Ira: And you have yet to tell us anything on the matter in question.

Aced: Among other things.......

Luxu: (Rolls His Eyes While Groaning) Again with this? I told you every important, non-vauge information you needed, what more do you people want for me!?

Invi: Your allegiance towards our cause and union perhaps?

Luxu: I saved you four from being forgotten about completely. That has to count for something at least.

Ira: And we appericate your efforts, truly. But there's still so much we need to know about.

Aced: (Rolls his Mask Covered Eyes) Which I doubt you'll ever tell us considering how you are willing to keep your history between you and this Sephiroth person from us for this long.

Luxu: (Glares at Aced) Hey, I was gonna tell you guys about him eventually! (Crosses his Arms Together While Turning Away) 'Just needed to make sure that the unexpected.....(Face Starts to Waver in Fear) painful....nightmarish memory of him doesn't get to me completely. Or ever......

Gula: The guy must've been a real pain in the neck if he's making you THIS scared of him.

Luxu: ('Sighs Heavily') Ohhh you have no idea.....But if you all MUST know thay badly, it all started back when I was stil in the Organization, our boss at the time, Xemnas, thought it would be a good idea to invite that one winged bastard into our headquarters and ask him to join our cause, knowing damn well that would've defeat the entire purpose of the name and brand! But rather than giving him a series of trials like any sane cult leader would, the boss man figured the better way for him test his worth is to fight-

...................................................................................

Xion: (Eyes Widened) Every organization member at once!? How come we didn't know about any of this?

Roxas: (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Mm...Call it a hunch, but I think that all might have happened when you, me, and Axel went to that mission together. The one at the Neverland place or whatever.

Lea: (Suddenly Snaps his Fingers While Remembering the Memory) Oh yeah! I remember now! We had to spend like two or three days there just to try and capture our target, whoever that was.

Isa: And I was out inspecting every other worlds that was accounted for at the time.

Sephiroth: It seems Xemnas was too prideful enough to not to tell either of you about the incident. But yes, I was challenged to fight every present organization member at the present. (Causally Twirls his Wine Cup Around with his Hand) To them it was a fight for pride and honor of the name of their little cult. But for me.....(Forms a Small, Smug Smirk on his Face) It was mediocre warm up at best. (Takes Another Sip of his Drink)

.....................................................................................

Luxu: We threw everything we got in our arsenal at him and he managed dodge all of them without breaking a single sweat. Then, when the others tried to get the upper hand, he countered all of their weapons with that long ass sword of his and knocked all of them out with just one swing! ONE SWING! Then, when I tried to sneak attack him from behind, the guy STAB ME and slammed my ass towards the ground in front of him! (Shivers in Fear) It was a miracle I was able to survive after that.......

..............................................................................

Sephiroth: His tactics were too predictable for me to care. But that pitiful look in his eyes tell everything i know about him in one word.

Pichu: Pichu?

Sephiroth: (Simply Nodded) Very good, my son. He is Worthless.

Roxas: Sheesh. Harsh much?

Xion: Don't pity him, Roxas. They're right.

Roxas: (Notices the Dark Look in Xion's Eyes) Hey, what's with the look for all of sudden!?

Sephiroth: Anyways, after all that set and done, I was then challenged to fight against their ringleader, Xemnas. A fairy decent opponent, at least compared to his lackeys.

..................................................................................

Luxu: But even with all his multiple lasers and sabers hands, that silver haired freak still manage to beat him before leaving us to lick our own wounds.

Invi: And you are certain that he is as strong as he was in the past.

Luxu: Listen, I know I have a history of lying a lot, but trust me when I say that's there's a whole lot more to him than just some pretty boy with long hair and sword. So I don't want any of you to go around trying to fight him, got it?

Aced: (Crosses his Arms) You disappoint me greatly, Luxu.

Luxu: (Rolls his Eyes Again) Oh god, here we go.....

Aced: You expect us, the Foretellers, to run and cower in fear from our enemies and everything we stand for!?

Luxu: ('Sigh') Look, man, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from fighting here. All I'm saying that there's some battles you gotta choose wisely, especially when you have someone as menacing as Sephir-

Aced: (Glares at Luxu) I care not of how menacing he is! I am Aced, the Foreteller of the Ursus Union! And I will show this Sephiroth clown the true meaning of power and strength one way or another! (Summons a Black Portal Behind Him Before Walking Towards It)

Ira/Invi: Aced!

Luxu: (Pinches his Nose While Groaning in Frustration) Oh for the love of fucking-PLEEEEASE don't tell me you're actually planning on fighting him on yourself!

Aced: I made my decision clear. (Turns Back to the Group) And none will be foolish enough to interfere!

The portal disappeared with Aced along with it.

Ira: He left.

Gula: (Turns to Luxu) So should we go after him or...

Luxu: (Holds his Hands Up Before Scoffing) Nope. If he wants to go out there and embarrass himself in pain, then that's all on him. (Walks Away) I'm getting too old for this crap.

Meanwhile Back at the Bar

Lea: (Nodding With his Arms Crossed Together) Alright...... So all we need to do find Luxu and his posse, sic Sephiroth on all of them and hope for the best! (Turns to Sephiroth With a Sheepish Smile) I-If...that's alright with you of course.

Sephiroth: Surely you must have more faith in me than that, Lea. (Shrugs) But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to aid you all just this once.

Lea: Sweet. The plan's in motion then.

Xion: But where would we start looking? They can anywhere right now.

Barret: (Hears Suddenly Hears a Muttering Sound as he Turns to See a Bear Masked Figure Standing Outside, Yelling at the Bar's Glass Door) Uh....I might be wrong....(Points at the Door) But isn't that one of them outside right now?

The gang quickly turns to see the figure in question angrily summoning a Keyblade outside.

Roxas: Keyblade in his hand, wearing a robe and mask? Not doubt that he's one of them.

Lea: (Summons his Own Keyblade with a Grin on his Face) Then let's get a move on then, people!

Sephiroth: (Simply Nodded) ('Hmph')

Barret: (Adjusts his Gatling Hand Gun) Gladly. (Turns to His Co-worker Before Walking Put With Lea and Sephiroth) Isa, my mam, you mind watching my baby girl for me?

Sephiroth: As well as my son please?

Isa: (Nodded To the Duo's Request) I will. (Turns to Roxas and Xion) Be careful out there, you two. And make sure Lea doesn't doesn't do anything stupid.

Roxas/Xion: (Salutes to Isa) Yes sir!

Marlene: (Hugs Xion's Sides) We'll root for you from the inside!

Pichu: (Hugs One of Roxas' Leg) Pichuuu.....

Xion: (Gives Both Marlene and Pichu a Reassuring Smile) No need to worry about us, you two. Your dads, uncle, and big sibs Roxas and Xion got everything under control.

Roxas: (Happily Nodded) Definitely.

Lea: Roxas! Xion! You two still coming or what?

Roxas/Xion: We'll be right there! (Quickly Follows the Others Outside)

Outside of the Bar

Aced: Sephiroth! My instincts know that you are in there! Cease your cowering and come out and fave me!!

Barret: (Walks Out of the Bar With the Others Following Behind) What in the hell are you doing yelling outside our establishment!?

Aced: Move aside, disabled simpleton! You are not the one I am looking for!

Barret: (Fuming in Anger) The fuck did you just call me!? (Starts Marching Over to Aced Before the Seasalt Trio Quickly Stops Him From Moving Forward)

Sephiroth: I believe I'm the one you are look for?

Aced: (Examines Sephiroth's Appearance From a Mid Distance) Long silver hair and sword......(Slowly Starts to Grin Evilly) Yes.....You are exactly the person I seek.

Sephiroth: (Prepared his Battle Stance) I do hope you give a decent challenge. So far, I hear you and your Foretellers group are all nothing but talk.

Aced: (Readied his Stance as Well) Oh, I assure you, we are more than what meets the eyes. Allow me show you the taste of our excellence!

The two warriors rushed over to one to another as they deliver the first slash from their respective blades in a samurai like fashion.

With the sound their of blades clashes together before the two combatants reached over to different spots, the area went to silence with nothing but the sound of the wind passing by.....That is until the roaring sound of pain and agony is heard from the Ursus Foreteller as blood flew off from his body before falling down on his knees, much to everyone else's shock.

Everyone: Ah......SHIT!

Sephiroth: (Gets Himself Up With Little to No Setbacks) Hm. Well, what do you know? I was right.

Aced: (Shaking like a Leaf) H-H-How......How are you this strong- (Coughs Up Blood) I-I trained....my whole life....into becoming the best of the best..And now.....it's all for not!?

Sephiroth: I don't know to what you and your associates are truly capable, nor do I wish to find out. Because so far you've been nothing more than a disappointment in every shape and form

Aced: S-S-So....this is, right? W-Will....this....be the end of my journey?.

Sephiroth: (Let's Out an Evil Chuckle as his Dark Wing Finally Begins to Appear on his Back) Please. We're just getting started. (Turns his Back to Aced With a Sinster Smirk on his Face) You were bold enough to come here and ask for a challenge, right? It would be such a waste if we stop now.

Aced: (Eyes Widened in Utter Fear) N-No....Please....I-I yield.....I can't fight anymore.

Sephiroth: Too late. (Immediately Rushes Over to Aced in Battle Stance)

Aced: NoooooOOOOOOO!-

And with that, Sephiroth traps Aced into his barrage flurry slashes as he screams out in more pain with everyone else staring at the brutal slash down with their eyes still widened..

Lea: ............Okay. Starting today, let's all agree to NEVER challenge Sephiroth to a fight. (Turns to the Others Around Him) Sounds good?

Xion: Yep.

Roxas: Uh-huh.

The trio turns to Barret who is still silent, as he gives them their attention.

Barret: What?

Lea: Dude, come on. You gotta agree to this.

Barret: And why would I do that? I'm big and tougj! I've fought him one!.....With Cliud and Tifa, but still!

Roxas: We know you're strong, Uncle Barret. But there's no telling what he has up his sleeves......

Xion: (Hugs Barret) And the last thing we want for him majorly injure you. Please?

Barret: ('Sighs in Defeat') Fiiiine. I won't try and beat him up. But I swear, if he starts disturbing the peace in front of my bar, there WILL be hell to pay!

Thirty Minutes of Humiliation Later, Back at the Foretellers Secret Hideout.........

Aced walks out of the portal with his robe dirtied and tornup and cuts and bruises are visibly shown all over his face, all while everyone else inside stares at him in silence. Everyone except......

Luxu: 'Eyyyyy here, big guy! How was the bout? You won? Lost? ('Scoffs') Who am I kidding? Of course you lost! You look all bruised up.

Aced glared at the apprentice in silence before walking away.

Luxu: Oh you're giving me the silent treatment right now? You were talking all that good shit about how powerful you are minutes ago! And now look at you: you're a dumbass walking in shame. (Quickly Dodges the Keyblade Axed Chucks at Him) Ha! You missed!

Luxu then gets hit on the head with a rock as he falls down.

'Thud'

Luxu: ........Still a dumbass, big guy!

FF7 R&R: I have completed all world intel for and am about to depart Cosmo Canyon at (what I assume is) the end of Chapter 10 of Rebirth.

Hoo boy, this game just keeps on going, doesn't it? My hope was to finish it this "weekend" (Wed/Thu are my days off), but man, I dunno. I've got 65 hours in this thing already and, what, four more chapters to go? I'm guessing one more big region around Nibelheim (the moogle in CC said there was one more moogle store, so that would track) and then we enter a kind of endgame phase, but we'll see. But they're already talking about heading to Temple of the Ancients, and I imagine that whole bit will take a couple of chapters, so I'm still guessing this entry will end around where Disc 1 of the original did.

As a whole, so far, I'm enjoying myself overall, but I have 2 complaints that keep it from being a total 10/10:

1) The minigames are just getting out of hand at this point. The second and third chocobo flying courses took FOREVER to even clear just the basic rank (fuck trying to S-tier that, although I did do it on the first one cos I wanted the weapon for Yuffie). And then there's the whole battle robots thing, which is like basically Fort Condor, but a different shape and somehow more complicated (I don't really understand how the "programming" part works because I don't care at this point). I see what you're trying to do, but... damn, chill. How deep are we in this thing and you're still throwing new stuff at me? Focus on a few good ones. Like Queensblood. That rules.

2) The first few regions weren't that bad, but both Gongaga and Cosmo Canyon were a fucking NIGHTMARE to navigate in an "okay, I know where I have to go, but have no idea how to get there" kind of way. Like the sort of thing where I'm poking around for 20 minutes and getting irritated so I just look up a guide so I can finally check this box off my list and move on. I like the complexity of the level design, I think it's just some of the open-world tendencies fighting that. Either let me discover things, or give me tools to help me figure out how to access your data points without getting lost and pissed off about it. The game is long enough already.

Other than that, though, I'm still very much into it.

Okay, so the Gongaga sequence was fun. I like how we did a boys' trip/girls' trip split for the journey to the reactor. Scarlett remains an absolute bitch. (Please tell me they're gonna keep the slap fight between her and Tifa in part 3--I wanna see how they update that).

Tifa falling into the lifestream was an interesting moment that I'm 95% sure didn't happen in the original. But I like the follow through they do with that when she meets with the planetologists in Cosmo Canyon and has her little "sharing circle" moment about it. You can tell that experience changed something for her. Made the whole quest more personally spiritual. Like she's been witness to a lot of fucked up shit by this point in her life, but now there's some deeper connection to the bigger picture of it all. And even before Cosmo Canyon, you get a sense of her processing that in the scene she has with Cloud after she wakes up.

I'm also interested by the apparent dueling whispers that really kind of hit home in that bit--they're fighting within the soul of the planet. And Sephiroth seems to be associated with the black ones, which are the ones trying to maintain the original story track, it seems like. The lighter ones are the ones that saved Biggs and Zack in the alternate timeline, so what's the significance of that? CAN the story actually be changed, or are they just baiting me? I don't know. What's the significance of Aerith feeling Zack's hand in the water on the way to the Gi Village? What's the relationship between these timelines, exactly? Is one of them a dream? Which one? These are the questions I'm asking myself at this point.

We got a little more of Cissnei--the party found out she's basically still a Turk (which Cait/Reeve obviously already knew), but she's on our side. Chadley's apparent crush on her is kind of cute, also.

And then there's Cid. And I love the way he's characterized in the one encounter I've had with him so far. Seeing the Tiny Bronco gave me some feels, NGL. But like... are we gonna do Rocket Town? At first, I thought he was going to join the party right there and they were going to elide that bit, but that didn't happen, so we still might. (I'm curious to see how Shera is characterized, if we do.)

What's Hojo doing to Roche? Obviously something Jenova related, but like... that doesn't bode well.

I love Nanaki breaking into his real voice as soon as he sees people from home (and Tifa being weirded out by how old he actually is). Bugenhagen's lab was fucking sweet--I wanna hang out there. But also... okay, I'm gonna admit something here. I never realized he was riding around on a floating materia. I always thought he just had a big ass and no legs and could fly for no adequately explained reason. PS1 graphics, okay? So this version makes a lot more sense. And I like that he's initially so dismissive of the party (Tifa in particular) but then--without having to be confronted about it--comes around and admits he was wrong.

The River of Lights scene was sweet. Aerith's whole speech and everything.

Okay, so the Gi Cave was cool, but the expanded explanation of who the Gi are and what they want is fascinating. Gi Nattak talks! (Also, definitely tried the Phoenix Down trick on him and it didn't work--but the vending machine right before him gives you a discounted Phoenix Down, so they knew I was gonna try). But okay--their whole connection to the Black Materia I don't remember from the original (either it wasn't there, or wasn't explained very much, I don't think), but I buy it. It does raise the question for me, though, if they didn't come from the lifestream, where DID they come from? Are they alien, like Jenova? Interdimensional like Gilgamesh? What's the deal there?

Speaking of Gilgamesh... man, I'm really curious what that's building to. Cos it's a game-long arc, apparently. And it's just... odd.

I have lots of random notes, moments that stood out from this section, but I'm focusing more on the bigger picture here. But yeah, closing in on it--we'll see how far I get tomorrow.

Then it's time to dip back into Elden Ring and work my way toward the DLC (which I hear is absofuckinglutely brutal and I'm excited to be basically dominated by it).

Le chant perdu 1er chapitre : Claudia, la fille des nuages

Laissez moi vous conter l’histoire d’une petite fille nommée Rachel. Du haut de ses sept ans, on pouvait dire qu’elle était née avec une cuillère en argent dans la bouche. En effet, être la fille légitime du président d’une entreprise fabriquant des armes en masse pour le monde entier et qui avait établi en quelques années un monopole sur une bonne partie planète grâce à une découverte fascinante faite quelques années avant sa naissance. Rachel passait de nombreuses nuits avec sa mère. Celle-ci lui racontait les contes et légendes de l’endroit dont elle était originaire. Celle d’une grande montagne brillante d’une lueur verte qui guidaient les hommes égarés durant leur pèlerinage. Hildegarde Strauss, nommée plus communément Hilda, venait d’un petit village du continent central nommé Nibelheim et était la seule à pouvoir converser avec les gobelins qui peuplaient à l’époque le mont Nibel.   Rachel était blonde avec les cheveux naturellement ébouriffés L’iris de ses yeux avait la couleur d’une aigue-marine. Elle aimait aller sur le balcon le plus élevé qu’elle pouvait trouver dans la résidence dans laquelle elle vivait avec ses parents et regarder les nuages passer. Elle rêvait qu’elle pouvait les atteindre en montant sur un arc-en-ciel, qu’elle regardait la planète du haut de son nuage et qu’elle s’endormait, bercée doucement par sa course lente et paisible. Pendant ses songes, elle devenait Claudia la fille des nuages, la seule à pouvoir se poser dessus sans passer à travers. Elle se retrouvait souvent dans son lit quand elle se réveillait et sa mère lui disait qu’elle avait vu un nuage la déposer doucement avant de repartir vers le ciel. Les jours de pluie et d’orage étaient pour elle des jours tristes car les nuages étaient ou tristes ou en colère. Elle pensait que c’était de sa faute et elle priait pour que les nuages la pardonnent et redeviennent paisibles comme avant. Parfois, les nuages disparaissaient du ciel. Rachel ou plutôt Claudia disait qu’ils étaient en train de se reposer : être présent de jour comme de nuit, ça devait être vraiment fatiguant et ce fainéant de soleil pouvait lui aussi prendre le relais de temps en temps. Elle n’aimait pas les vents forts car pour elle c’était les patrons des nuages qui les forçaient à aller plus vite et sans ces cas-là, elle n’arrivait pas à les suivre. Lorsqu’elle parlait de ces histoires à son père, il disait que c’était ridicule mais sa mère prenait sa défense en disant qu’elle était une petite fille et qu’elle avait bien le droit de rêver. Peu de temps après la naissance de son petit frère Rufus, sa mère tomba malade. Lorsque sa mère commença à ne plus pouvoir tenir debout, la vie de Rachel changea et son seul refuge était son monde des nuages. Hilda était une très jolie jeune femme qui dégageait autour d’elle une aura très particulière grâce à sa beauté étrangement renversante. Elle avait gardé par la même occasion un petit accent Nibelungen qui lui ajoutait un certain charme. Elle était loin d’être bête et savait être ferme lorsque cela était nécessaire, même avec son mari. Les personnes qui accompagnaient le président dans son ascension disait souvent d’elle que si elle était un homme, elle serait meilleur que lui sur le plan business, mais en tant que femme sa place était de vivre dans l’ombre d’un homme qui perdait toute son humanité au fur et à mesure des années.

Lorsque Rachel eut douze ans, elle retrouva sa mère morte dans sa chambre. Rufus n’avait que quatre ans et ce fut elle qui s’occupa de lui le plus souvent. Elle fut sans doute la seule personne à l’avoir vu pleurer et il était à ce moment-là le seul enfant qui osait lui adresser la parole. A l’école qu’elle fréquentait, personne n’osait lui parler, même ses enseignants, de peur de représailles. Elle aurait pu faire du chahut en classe que cela aurait été complètement ignoré  et à quoi bon en faire si c’est sans aucune complicité de la part des autres élèves ? Alors elle écoutait les cours, se positionnant toujours proche d’une fenêtre pour pouvoir contempler les nuages et griffonnait des nuages dans les marges de ses cahiers. Sur ses bulletins, il était souvent indiqué qu’elle était une bonne élève, mais qui participait peu en classe car elle avait tout le temps la tête dans les nuages. En même temps, ses quelques tentatives de participations s’étaient soldées par des échecs car elle n’était jamais interrogée. Elle avait beau lever la main aussi haut qu’elle pouvait, on ne lui donnait jamais la parole.

Son quotidien changea lorsqu'une nouvelle élève venue de Junon arriva dans l’école. Celle-ci, contrairement à elle, devint vite populaire. Elle était plus âgée qu’elle, ses cheveux châtains clairs qu’elle coiffait en queue de cheval avait des reflets roux au soleil et se mariaient avec ses yeux verts, presque dorés. Elle avait un visage plutôt agréable, souvent souriant, voire parfois arrogant. Elle comprit assez vite que celle fille n’était pas une élève ordinaire, “élève” était en fait une couverture. En vérité, elle faisait partie des Turks et son véritable travail était de veiller sur elle. Comme elle venait de Junon, elle attirait à elle une certaine curiosité. Beaucoup de garçons lui demandaient de parler en Junonais. Se prenant au jeu, elle leur répondait en les traitant de "Raclure de cabinet" ou en parlant d'une partie réduite de leur anatomie, mais de manière moins raffinée et mise à part les personnes ayant pris Junonais en seconde langue, personne ne comprenait les insultes en question. Pourtant, son nom de famille n'avait aucune consonance Junonaise. Rachel apprit par la suite qu'elle portait le nom de son père car "Telenn de Lusignan" était long et difficile à prononcer. Et son nom de famille, tout le monde dans l'école le connaissait à d'entendre le proviseur s'égosiller "Eloïse Striiiife ! Dans mon bureau" Bon, il n'y avait qu'un seul i, mais c'est pour montrer à quel point cette "élève" lui tapait sur le système. A vrai dire, si elle avait rejoint les Turks aussi jeune, ce fut parce qu'elle souhaitait quitter l'école. Elle fut engagée grâce à ses aptitudes particulières : être capable de faire de la magie sans materia. On pouvait facilement comprendre sa frustration quand son affection fut de surveiller la fille du président ShinRa justement dans une école et de se faire passer pour une élève venant d'ailleurs. L'usage des materias était interdit au sein de cet établissement car les matières enseignées ne s'y prêtaient pas alors pouvoir passer à l'action en cas de besoin sans y avoir recours était un prérequis pour cette mission qui était pour l'instant d'un ennui absolu.

La fête de l'entrée en 1982 ne se passa pas comme d'habitude.

Rachel savait que cette année dans le journal du 1er janvier, il manquerait une personne sur l'habituelle photo de la famille ShinRa en 1ère page. Cela faisait maintenant jour pour jour que sa mère était décédée, mais elle fut vite remplacée par une certaine Petra avec laquelle le Président ShinRa se maria quelques mois plus tard et qui à partir de l'année 1983 ferait figure de 1ère dame sur les photos suivantes. Elle avait une fille, qu'elle disait avoir eu d'un "1er mariage", mais Rachel soupçonnait que celle-ci soit en fait sa demi-sœur. En effet, la fidélité n'était pas un concept que son père pratiquait. Elle savait qu'elle avait un demi-frère de trois ans son aîné et Scarlett était à peine plus jeune qu'elle. Heidegger, le meilleur ami de son père ne voyait pas d'un bon œil, lui qui visait la place de vice président, avoir en concurrence quatre héritiers et héritières potentiels à ce statut, qu'ils soient légitime où pas, l'agaçait fortement. Déjà, pour des raisons que Rachel ignorait, il détestait Hilda et par extension il n'avait aucune sympathie pour les enfants de cette dernière. Mais Rachel savait qu'elle ne serait pas un obstacle dans son ascension puisque sa voie était toute tracée. Son père souhaitait qu'elle suive les traces de sa mère. Depuis qu'elle était décédée, il avait mis un point d'orgue sur l'apprentissage du langage Gobelin. Sans Hilda et ses connaissances, il était persuadé qu'il ne pourrait avancer et en attendant que Rachel progresse dans son apprentissage, il avait jeté son dévolu sur la filière scientifique qui lui semblait plus prometteuse. Le souci c'est qu'elle avait beau faire de son mieux pour répondre à ses attentes, contrairement à sa mère elle n'avait pas grandi avec des gobelins et tout ce qu'elle avait sous la main était des archives que sa mère avait elle-même compiler. Hilda était la pièce maîtresse de son ascension et malheureusement elle ne pouvait pas la remplacer. De plus, il lui manquait une chose très importante, c'est-à-dire la pratique. Comment comprendre la fabrication et le fonctionnement d'une chose aussi complexe qu'un réacteur Mako en se basant uniquement sur de la théorie tout en essayant de traduire des plans ayant ni queue ni tête, du moins si on l'esprit aussi tordu qu'un gobelin.

Ce qu'il ne se doutait pas était que ce savoir si jalousement gardé par la ShinRa finirait un jour par attirer de la convoitise et ce fut ce qui arriva un jour où tout semblait à première vue un jour comme un autre.

Her success was bathed in Mako and trailed by blood, but make no mistake Scarlet was going to end up on top. . . . . . #scarlett #shinra #ffvii #ff7 #ff7r #ffviiremake #cosplay #cosplayersofig #finalfantasycosplay #ffcosplay #finalfantasy7 #ff7remake #ff7cosplay #scarlet #photoedit #cosplayedit #photography #cosplay #cosplayphotography #cosplayer #cosplayers #ff7 #ff7remake #ffvii #finalfantasy #scarlet #cosplayedit #photoedit #shinra #finalfantasy7 #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayersofig #photoshoot #studio #cosplayphotography #photoshoot #cosplaylife #cosplayphoto #cosplay_plus #art #fanart #ffviiremake https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9d-ZKjaOm/?igshid=12bn9f84rzu7p

If you see an Amano drawing of Terra w/ a moogle (they have a big round nose), it’s because it was art for the Gameboy Advance version of FF6 or something else that came later. Why did they put that moogle there in later drawings? Well, it was 2007 when Gameboy Advance FF6 released, and in 2007 and 2008 we got Crisis Core and Dissidia, with that whole fiasco...

I used the first image to point out that the Choco-Mob summon of FF7 was based off of Terra riding Magitek Armor.

I don’t recall a drawing where Terra appeared with Mog from FF6′s original concept art (I did find one where Mog appears with the cut main character of FF6 though...) All the drawings she appeared with a moogle are found in the Wikia section titled “The following were promotional artworks done later”. There is a single image that doesn’t, but it has a 2**7(6?) on it, and the image beside it has a clearer year. If the image was made in 2007 or so, then what is it doing with the original FF6 concept art?

This could mean that:

1. Terra’s moogle hugging obsession was originally intended for a cat, possibly black and/or colored like Cait Sith/Sherlotta. Maybe the cat was bad-mannered and shot fireballs (like I know, why does Sherlotta do that in WoFF anyway!? When did Sherlotta shoot fireballs in her game?) 2. She was “tied” to moogles in the same way (and time) Cloud was “tied” to chocobos. It was done to connect the two characters for FF7, which is also what the FF7 Remake loves to do (Sector 5 slums/Children’s Hideout). Early FF7 promotional art shows Cloud riding a chocobo (incl. the early SIGGRAPH’95 FF7 demo, which shows that on the title screen). 

I’d like to warn you for no reason that there is a moogle-hitching game in FF7...

The Gameboy Advance version of FF6 released very, very late into the handheld’s lifespan, and may have been released at that time to increase interest in Terra before the FF7 Remake released since it was originally planned for the PS3, but they changed their minds at around 2010. Seeing it now with Echoes of Time releasing in early 2009, they were really banking on it being a PS3 game before the awkward silence of 2010 - 2014. Clerra scenes/hints spontaneously erupted after FF7R was announced in 2015, because we know that Terra will be involved in the game (she already kinda is, to be honest).

The drawing below is also from the Gameboy Advance version of FF6. Notice what they did with Terra in the drawing despite her being all over the promotional art in magazines and the box art itself.

"When everyone’s the main character, but you’re the only one going to Dissidia anyway.”

Oh right, there’s a comic strip based on this~

FF6 Pixel Remaster just released with all its YouTube ads and a ~$14,000 statue of Terra riding Magitek Armor w/ Mogs. Scarlett rides a mech in FF7R: Intergrade like it was Magitek Armor, Stranger of Paradise/KH4/Forspoken have isekai stories, Frey from Forspoken seems to be a prototype idea for Terra’s combat, and Epic Games showed off Unreal 5 with their own version of Terra (young girl, high ponytail or bun, flies or jumps really far, casts spell with one hand, cloak or scarf flying from her back...I mean, how many characters are actually like that?)

It’s easy to notice this stuff when you’re expecting it~
