[ When Cloud rolls out of his bed at the inn, he squints at the skyline of Aldrip. Squints at the phone-like device on his table, squints at the incoming light as if somewhat offended at how it's not making dealing with the last month of... whatever that was.

He decides the best course of action is to not get out of bed about it. ]

okay, so, like
let's say i have a friend
and this friend might be a little confused about the city.
and maybe this friend is having a little trouble with like

[ ...He was going to say memory issues, and maybe "hey what the fuck happened for the past three weeks", but you know what — until he's sure he's not the only one experiencing them he's just gonna. Not. Talk about that. ]

[Why was she like this? It was a mystery.]

for me, it's the new city — feels too much like home.
oppressive in how advanced it was.
might as well work through it together, yeah?

[ ...Oh, they're, uh. Still caught in the maze, huh. ]

U WANT A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACE?

[She could give a physical description of the place, but she doubted that would convey the feelings she had about it.]

IT WAS AN OLD SCHOOL BUILDING WITH WOODEN WALLS & FLOORS
THE WINDOWS R SINGLE PANE
AND THE HEATING IS BAD

THERES A FORRESTED MOUNTAIN BEHIND IT

[identitycrisiscore]

[ A school in a sleepy little town... not like Aldrip, definitely. But it does kind of remind him of home. ]

we didn't have a school building where i grew up, town was too small.
sleepy little place called nibelheim, nestled as the base of a mountain.
there was a big water tower in the center of town.
my house and my best friend's house growing up were in the center of town, too, right next to each other.
it got pretty cold in the winter, so i can sympathize with bad heating.


you remember the name of the place?

[killjoyprince]

IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE SCHOOL I ATTENDED HERE

A SMALL TOWN NEAR A MOUNTAIN W/ A WATER TOWER SOUNDS FAMILIAR
BUT THE PLACE WAS CALLED INABA
