Guys? Hey, not that I want to act like I'm panicking needlessly here but uh. I think I lost someone.

Has anyone seen my friend Spi- Cloud Strife around? Blond spiky hair, kinda feisty, about four foot eleven or so, has a rifle in hand and was wearing combat blues with brown holsters the last time I saw him. He was supposed to be at the hotel we're staying at and he's not here. Not that I don't trust him not to take care of himself but...you know what? Screw that.

I'm offering a reward of gil or services for legitimate info that will lead me to retrieve Cloud Strife. If he's kidnapped, I'm offering a truck load of pain to the bastard who did it. Return him. Before I tear this place down.

Haven't seen 'em, sorry. Hate to say it, but it's likely he got kidnapped. When did you last speak with him?

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm afraid of.

Yesterday. I wanted to scout the place out, asked him to stay put. I came back to an empty room and a note on the pillow. What do you know about these kidnappers?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you could say we've got a history together. I know them very well. What was on the note, if you don't mind me asking?

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

I ain't seen 'im. Sorry.

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

Reno.

What do you know about this?

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

Not 's much as I'd like. But like that rat thing mentioned people've been getting kidnapped. Prob'ly our friends in th' shadows, but they ain't confirmin' or denyin' that.

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

He's not a rat. Learn to tell the difference, man.

But why take Spike? What's he got that they need?

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

I know th' difference, yo.

Hell if I know. Might be they're just pickin' at random, 'r maybe they got some kind'f agenda we ain't seein'.

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

So why call him a rat?

Screw their agenda. Cloud doesn't deserve this, he's been through enough. Look, man. I hate to do this but if Spike isn't just on a food run, I'm going to have to call in any favors you owe me.

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

'Cause it bothers him.

I'd argue that this one ain't been through quite the same shit 's th' one we know, but... don't think my heart'd be in it, yo. You want my help, you got it.

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

He did something to you?

Thanks. I want to know the second you hear anything. You know how to contact me. Just...watch your back. All right?

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

Nah. 'M an equal-opportunity annoyance. Thought you knew that.

Don't need t' tell me twice, yo. Been keepin' an eye out for myself since I got here.

[mustcatchme1st.livejournal.com]

Nobody knows that more than me. Don't burn your bridges though.

Yeah. That's what you do best, right?

[theansweris4.livejournal.com]

'Mnot, don't worry.

Right.
