If you care...
Sorry I haven't been posting to Dead Inside. I've been
seriously sidetracked. I promise I'll try and be better about this!!
Okay, so, I think this is where the notes start for this
chapter... I only ended up having two groups of notes between these four
chapters (at least it wasn't just one, I suppose) So...
My first note on this is that Tifa reminds me of Donna (from
Doctor Who) with the whole "Because I did blah"
That, and I love how it's "something about Cloud"
pause "again"
I don't know if it actually reads that way, but that's
totally how it is in my head
It had to be Yuffie who called Shad a jerkface, because
Shad's got nothing on Yuffie. Everyone else here he could've and probably
would've stopped.
Shad's probably very upset wherever he is now (well, you
know that, but still). If I was the Great Allie, I'd put a description of what
he angrily does as a result in parenthesis, but I'm not her and this isn't a
comedy. If you happen to like comedies and Super Paper Mario, go read the Great
Allie's "the Count's World" fics. You'll enjoy 'em. (that, and the
way she writes Dimentio is amazing. Though... I might just have a thing
for video game phsycopaths (Dimentio, Ghirihim, Shad... oh dear...))
Tifa's very... blunt. This whole sequence here with Leon
telling her to be quick, and then Aerith tells her to be gentle- Idk, there's
something about it that I like. It just implies so much about
Tifa's character without me actually saying anything, and I really like
that.
Because, later in this chapter (I'm hoping your reading this blog AFTER the
chapter, because I'm totally giving this away otherwise) it explains that
Sephiroth meddled with their thoughts like this frequently, so they've all
gotten pretty used to breaking the truth to each other (that sentence sounds
weird..) and they know each other's methods. Tifa's very blunt in her methods.
She's learned that with Cloud you just have to be blunt, and while that's
probably not the best method to use on everyone else, it works.
Though, thinking about it, I have a feeling that they kept Tifa away from
Aerith when Aerith's thoughts had been meddled with. Because Aerith and blunt
just don't go together, especially not when it's being blunt about Zack... all
that just adds up to BAD IDEA!!
hey look! The yelling at my characters portion of my notes!!
"Namiku, you're not telepathic!" (though I have no
idea when they were trying to be, since it's been so long, but they must've
been trying or I wouldn't have written that)
"Kairi, you are not standing, stop trying to sit
down."
"Leon, you do not have a cup of tea."
Oh, and look, we're randomly swapping POVs (which happens to
me a lot when Riku's in the room and I start in NOT his POV, though that
actually isn't the reason this time around, I don't think)
HEY!! what happened to my note about the orange bowl!?
*can't find it in my notes*
Well, the orange bowl that Aerith goes and gets is a reference to the
"all-purpose orange bowl" that we have at my house, which we'd use
for cooking, mainly, but also for holding popcorn, and candy, and other
things...
Then I broke it... *sniffle* I didn't mean to... I don't
even know how it broke. It was either because I dropped the TV remote on it or
because I stepped on it... both of which happened at about the same time, so...
I'm going to wait and see who all asks about stage
three before I actually say what it is. I think I left enough clues for you to
assume (it was supposed to be revealed in-story, but that was scrapped because
it was taking too long)
So, random note (this might've needed to go sooner...) but
Sephiroth, actually, didn't show up until after Zack died. Cloud had had
trouble with the darkness beforehand, it had calmed down, but then a certain
someone's (I might've left enough clues at this point for you to gues who!
GASP!) tampering and the overwhelming guilt that resulted from Zack's death
spawned Sephiroth. Obviously, Sephiroth was dealt with some time ago.
Exact date? No freaking clue, but I don't quite have an exact date on Zack's
death, either. In my head, it's permanently three years ago, even though,
reasonably, it should be four if not five. Either way, Sephiroth was probably
dealt with about a year after Zack's death. Probably.
I wonder what Toby's up to for most of this. He's just...
sittin there...
"I can't tell what's tangled in this mess and what's
not"
This reminds me of Shad's rant, and the tangled emotions, and all that crud...
The more important thing is that most of you are probably wondering how Tifa
can even tell that things are tangled. If you aren't, well, poo, I'm explaining
it anyway.
See, people like Tifa (and Cloud, too) grow so accustomed to the darkness that
they can sense its effects on other people. This is either because they know
what to look for or because they've just learned to sense it in themselves, and
they've grown so attuned to it that they can't help but notice it in other
people (I like that second explanation).
Tifa is often blunt about it (no surprise). She senses something wrong in
someone and she'll often just say it to their face. I don't know if that's just
because she's learned to be blunt with Cloud (as I've said before) or what it
is. But she's blunt.
Cloud's much quieter about these sort of things.
I'm hungry.
I don't have any more notes on this chapter written, and I'm
too hungry to think of anything else. So...
