I found out that Peter Cullen, the voice of Eeyore and Optimus Prime, himself, also provided the vocalizations for the Predator in the first movie. What can't that man do?

Just finished the last three episodes of Arcane. It was a good finale, but I think I'll need to sleep on it to really figure out how I feel about it

@Viciousmarrow No problem ^^
@Viciousmarrow When you describe the daughter's gasp, I think it'd be better to say excited instead of exasperated. The latter makes it sound like she's annoyed, which doesn't really fit the context, I think ^^
『Sunday 9:30 AM』

As the alarm blares in his bedroom, with a tired groan, Zac slowly sits up in his bed, rubbing the back of his eyes as he does. The rain hadn't let up last night, so he had taken his chances with a cab after Sabine had left. By the time he got home, he made a beeline for his bed and collapsed face-first into it, the events of that night having tired him out much more than he had originally thought.

Reaching over, he turns his alarm off and climbs out of bed, taking his time as he goes through his morning routine. After brushing his teeth and taking a shower, he makes himself a slice of toast and steps into the living room. Turning on the television, he flips through the channels for a few moments before turning it back off, unable to find anything worthwhile to watch.

Deciding to take the initiative for once, he mutters to himself, "I don't have anything better to do. May as well see if I can start work early, today." He was supposed to come in around noon, but, unable to find anything to do until then, he decides to dress in his uniform, a pinstriped grey vest, white dress shirt, and grey pants. A few minutes later, he was out of the door.



『10:45 AM』

The little bell over the door rings as Zac steps inside the Shining Kettle. Seeing Shizuka at her post, he looks around to find that the place was empty, except for two people sitting at a booth. Deciding to take advantage of the downtime, he walks over to his co-worker with a smile. "Hey," he says. Noting a rather distracted look in her eyes, he asks, "Penny for your thoughts?"

@Stern Algorithm
At the question, Sabine sighed and leaned her head back.

"I'm fine, Zac. You have my thanks and all, but I can handle myself without the drugs."

Zac nods and sighs quietly, looking back down at his hands. After a few moments, he looks back up at Sabine and asks, "Was tonight the first time something like this happened?"

Sabine shook her head, and crossed her arms.

"I can't even remember how many times this happened, but this is gonna be the last one. I'm trying to start fresh, and Heaven knows I can't just do it again. The dosage I had was weaker than most starters will ever start with."

Hearing Sabine say that this was to be her last one, Zac breathes out a sigh of relief. Although he managed to stay calm while with Sabine and Nori, inside, it was the most terrified he had ever been in his life. During the ride to the hospital in the ambulance, he was constantly looking over at the EKG the EMT's had hooked up to her, fearing that at some point, it was going to flat-line. He only relaxed when the doctors assured him that she was going to be alright.

Still...he had heard stories of people with addictions. Every time something like this happened, they would say that would be their last time, yet they'd end up in the hospital for the same thing, sooner or later.

With that thought, Zac shakes his head. She knows how dangerous it's becoming for her, he thinks. Managing a smile, he says, "Alright. I'll go get a nurse for you."

Sabine nodded, and laid back to rest, before suddenly lunging at Zac's from her chair as she tapped a button.

"Wait...there's a button here..."

*BING!*

Right then and there, a green icon showing a nurse popped up on the side of her bed. Sabine sighed before leaning back, but not without keeping an unexpectedly strong grip on Zac's arm.

"...hey...Zac? I still need to thank you...so come closer, please..."

Zac takes a step toward the door, only to stop as he suddenly feels a surprisingly strong grip around his arm. Looking down, he watches as Sabine presses a button on her bed, calling the nurse. She then asks him to come closer and shrugs to himself. Thinking she wanted to whisper her thanks for some reason or another, he steps closer and leans over the bed. "You know, you really don't have to thank me," he says with a chuckle.

Right then and there, Sabine pulled his head closer with a firm grip on his nape, and smashed her lips into his without a second to spare between.

If he ever thought of pulling back, his attempts would be vain as she dug her fingernails into his scalp and skin. She had little money, and certainly not enough time in a weekend to even consider a relationship with other than just friends, but if she could at least leave him with one gift, something he'd probably want, it was going to be this.

And she was going to make this hella good. Her tongue pushed against his before slipping into his mouth, but to accommodate more room for the both of them, she tilted her head before sucking on his lower lip. Her teeth softly raked against it, before swapping for the upper as her tongue swirled around his; whatever saliva trailed with each attempted retreat was soon recollected in another bout between mouths.

...my thanks...

When she felt Zac had surrendered, Sabine slid her hands to his shoulder blades, and began to pull him onto the bed with her as she breathed less and less, eliciting tears to fall down her cheeks as her breathing lulled into heavy pants...

Zac knew he should have expected something like this when Sabine asked him to come closer. How he didn't was a mystery to him and he couldn't help but think about the nurse who was about to walk in on this. However, that thought was quickly pushed to the wayside as he felt himself giving into to the kiss.

With a sigh, he relaxes and, one part due to Sabine's influence, another part due to his own free will, he slips onto the bed, gently laying on top of her as his hands gently cup her cheeks. Feeling the tears, his thumbs gently wipe them away without breaking the kiss. One hand slips away from her cheek and rests on the side of her neck as he tilts his head, his own breathing beginning to match hers.

As they continue, he can't help but think back to previous girlfriends and how they had kissed. Sure, back then, he enjoyed every second of it, but, even considering his past experiences, Sabine was one hell of a kisser.

But before either could intensify their efforts, Sabine pushed for one longer, breathless kiss before finally pulling back, leaving that signature trail of saliva from her lips as she had done with Nori's fingers.

"...th-thank you, Zac...but this is all I can give you," she managed to say rather shakily as she sucked up the leftover saliva, before leaning back into her pillow.

"...you're the sweetest guy I've met in a while, but...I can't do this to you. You're young, and I'm...I'm not going to be around for as long as you might think. The drugs and all did their work on me and...I can't have you worrying about those and me whenever we party and...and, so if we could just...be friends, that'd be fine."

She paused a beat, before continuing.

"...I appreciate everything, but..."

And that's when the nurse walked in.

When Sabine finally pulled away from the kiss, Zac does the same, breathing heavily to catch his breath. He was smiling, up until the point Sabine told him that the drugs over the years have taken their toll and she didn't want him worrying, that she'd rather be friends. Zac sighs, but manages to smile anyway, something he had always been good at doing, even before he taught himself magic. "It's no problem," he quietly says. "Besides, we just met tonight, anyway. I'm pretty surprised that that even happened."

Hearing footsteps, Zac turns around to see the nurse standing there, holding Sabine's bundled clothes. When the page came in, she was told about the patient in the room she was going to and that it would've been a good idea to bring her clothes to her. The last thing she had expected was walking in on the young woman with a guy in her bed. Without another word, the nurse places Sabine's clothes next to the bed and hurries off.

Zac chuckles quietly and climbs off of Sabine and the bed, saying with a flushed face, "Well...glad we didn't have to explain anything. I think that would've made things worse." After a few moments, he picks up a piece of paper he was going to use for folding a crane, as well as a pen, and writes something down on the paper before handing it to Sabine. "My number," he says. "In case you ever wanna talk or hang out..."

Sabine took the card and held it against her chest as she sighed.

"...I'm sorry," was all she could say as she looked away and listened to him.

She nodded at his last couple of comments, her cheeks red as though she were drunk, as she slipped out of bed and granted Zac a fleeting look high up her thigh. With a mouse-like "eep!", she covered her legs, before slipping back on each article of clothing with an eye on Zac...minus a blue-and-white striped bikini bra.

"Not a peek or a peep, okay?!" she almost shouted at him, before she sat back on the bed. Once Zac had closed his eyes, Sabine lifted her shirt off and slipped on her bra before putting her shirt back on. Over that went her cardigan, which she tried to fumble with before sighing.

"...Zac...I'll owe you this much more if you can help me with buttoning up..."

As she said this, Sabine struggled a little bit to pinch her index finger and thumb together, before letting her hand droop to her side.

"...I think I'll just...oh..."

Right then and there, she pulled out her IV feed, and wiped the red spot over with an alcohol pad on the table.

"I think I'll just wait in the lobby a little bit, until this rain goes. So...I mean, if you've got work tomorrow, you can go on ahead..."

The second Zac saw Sabine climb out of bed, he looks away, blushing as he remembers just how much (or how little) clothing she was wearing. He only looks back (through one, half-closed eye, at that) when he hears Sabine ask for help buttoning up. Seeing that she was decently dressed, he quietly chuckles and walks over. As he helps her button her cardigan, he watches as she pulls her IV out. "I know you may be used to it," he says as he steps back after finishing with the last button, "but I still don't know how you can do that. I hate needles."

Hearing Sabine go on to say that she was going to wait in the lobby until the rain passes, he says, "I think I'll do the same. I'm not exactly dressed for rain, right now, and I don't have any money for a cab." Chuckling again, he adds, "Looks like you're stuck with me for awhile more."
I dare say so, but most conveniences are forged by magic one way or another, I don't think they ever really explain that kinda thing in the FF games, especially in FFX due to a lack of a crafting system. You could take a look at loot lists from the game and make a judge on that. You would assume if they have machines and flying ships, they would at least have several varieties of metal.


Well, I was mostly asking because I want my character and his mom helping out with fireworks. I'm not sure if there are any materials I can use as substitutes :T
Would there be the same elements in this world as in ours? Like phosphorous, magnesium, etc?
Oh, crap, I didn't even notice the RP started! It snuck up on me XD
