[ The second time around, these terminal things are a little easier to figure out. Zack still hasn't gotten the hang of their finer workings (see: anything other than Record and Send), but at least he's past the fifteen minute delay stage.

And he hasn't smashed anything - there's that. Technically, he's still in debt for the last computer he touched. But that's beside the point. ]

I didn't think it'd be this hard to find a decent weapon shop around here. They're usually front and center, y'know? [ Right next to the Items Shop and the Inn, generally. This is very basic city planning. ]

But I probably should've guessed. There's not exactly a lot around here to fight... [ Which is weird, and makes life a little boring - but it definitely isn't a bad thing. He shrugs, flashing the screen a lopsided smile. ] So what I'm saying is, if anybody out there's had better luck, I wouldn't mind a recommendation or two. I can't be the only one who wound up here unarmed, right?

Oh, yeah, and uh... [ He runs a hand down the back of his neck, looking around indecisively (as if that's doing anything to hide the faint hint of color climbing in his suddenly uncomfortable expression). ] If somebody wouldn't mind holding my hand for a while, I'd appreciate it, too. I kinda let that get away from me.

Exactly. And what if something turns up out of the blue? I guess the superheroes could probably help out, but…

Soldier? You're in the army? [blinking at him, which he might… not really be able to see. He seems a lot friendly than Davesprite'd have expected.]

[soldiernoclass]

That's right. I was a First Class SOLDIER. Though I guess that's not something you ever really stop being.

[ Mostly because of the mako. But still. ]

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

Probably not. I wouldn't really know.

So… First Class, huh? Sounds like you made it pretty high up.

[soldiernoclass]

As a matter of fact, there's no rank higher.

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

No Gold Class or anything? Sounds pretty sweet, though.

That mean you got some tricks you could share? Assuming we ever find something to practice with.

[soldiernoclass]

Gold Class? That sounds more like a top-ranking chocobo than a soldier.

But I guess could probably teach you a few things you don't already know.

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

You think so? What'd you choose, then?

[perking up] Yeah? Anything you could show me now?

[soldiernoclass]

If I had to pick a title for myself? I don't know - but it'd definitely be cooler than that.

[ He shrugs, shaking his head. ] Sorry. It's probably not a good idea to try 'til I'm back in fighting shape.

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

Let me know if you figure it out, then.

Oh, yeah. You need any help with that? [touch is… probably not entirely appropriate as payment, but it'd help. In some way or another. Right?]

[soldiernoclass]

Uh, sure. The more the merrier, right? [ IT'S NOT WEIRD or maybe it's a little bit weird but who cares ]

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

Think that's how it's supposed to work, anyway. [people not bothered by getting sick? who knows.]

So, uh. You want I should come to you, or… I dunno, meet up in a café or something?
