Want to play with any of the above? Leave a comment with their name in the header and a prompt or a starter and I'll get back to you! ➝ AUs welcome! Otherwise, all characters are available from various canon points: OG, Advent Children or Remake. ➝ Some memes for ideas: caught in the rain, soulmates, body heat, otherworldly, deserted island, and of course random scenario. Feel free to make up your own! Hell, you can even just text them, they've all got phones. ➝ Other old muses (Cloud, Cid, Yuffie) in need of dusting off are tentatively available for tagging out later on!

[He snorts.]

Did they send you here to teach me a lesson?

[It's a dumb thing to say and he knows it's a dumb thing to say, but that defiant streak - the one that instructed Tseng and the renegade Turks to steal a submarine right out from under Shinra's nose years ago - hasn't been entirely stomped out of him just yet. He certainly wouldn't put it past Heidegger and Scarlet to want to make an example of him.]

Or just to get a confession? I'm not going to deny what I did, and I don't regret it, either, so if you were expecting another answer, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you.

[Even he isn't quite sure why he's being so brazen. Maybe it's just that at this point, he's got nothing left to lose.]

[emcharge]

You'd think that, wouldn't you? Seems like the kind of thing they would do.

[He laughs, sharply, before shaking his head. His smile is hard and mirthless, but it fades after a moment— it would be difficult for Reno to actually appear sincere in the barest sense of the word, but the usual edge that he presents himself with has softened just a little bit.]

Confession would be pretty useless, too. What good would that do anyone? You're already in prison.

[Like, how much worse can it get?]

You got balls, though. That's what surprised me. Gotta say, I respect it.

[wro]

[It's probably not the reaction Reno was expecting to what is likely the closest thing to praise the Turk ever gives out, especially to someone who is technically on the opposite side right now. Reeve stares at him for a moment, mouth hanging open just the slightest bit as if he's about to snap a comeback... and then his face just crumples.]

Not enough.

[And he too barks a laugh, something sharp and strained and on the verge of breaking.]

Not enough...

[And that's the sum of it, isn't it? Even after everything, it still wasn't enough.]

[emcharge]

[The cruel curl of Reno's lips melts away; there's no longer any sense of mocking. He looks back over his shoulder, ensuring there are no guards lingering nearby, then leans against the door with one arm up over his head, his voice low as he speaks through the barred window.]

What the hell would 'enough' even look like, anyway?

[He snorts softly, shaking his head.]

Look. I'm gonna get you out of here.
