Watched AC again, probably the third time since wolf_eye expressed her amazing idea about Seph maybe trying to get Cloud to think, and to realize he can fight and protect the ones he loves. The more I watch, the more it seems plausible, even obvious. X3 Especially since they always had a very complicated relationship. It wasn't all "RAWR! FIGHT!" all the time. XD Also, AC came out not long before KH2, and Seph's harsh mentoring wasn't the only concept from the FF7 Compilation that may have transferred to KH.

I also noticed something else interesting. When Cloud is looking over the church and sees Aerith bending down? She's talking to a couple of kids, and they so see her! When she stands up, one of them waves! I rewound to watch again and make sure. Then when she's walking away, the other kid is watching her.

Also ... I be needing hurt/comfort help. XD; **laces fingers.** What is a scenario in which someone can be thought dead that I either haven't used in forever, or not at all? Oh yeah, and ideally it should involve the person not being there/not being found, as opposed to them finding the person and thinking he's dead. I did the latter the last time I used a scenario with this person. Only he really was dead and they didn't just think it.

That's still the coolest idea ever.^^ **has yet to watch it again, though.** It's like Seph wants Cloud to be at his best because he wants a worthy opponent, but you can also think of it as the good Seph coming through to help Cloud in whatever way he can.^^

I think I assumed they'd seen her, but I didn't specifically watch for it. XD; And I definitely don't remember one waving! **will have to watch it again.** In the game, though, if you go back to the church after Aerith's death, you meet two kids who are taking care of Aerith's flowers for her. I like to think it's them in the movie. And I kinda want to say they'd said something about seeing Aerith's spirit, but I don't remember for sure. XD; **can totally imagine her visiting them, though.**

**reads through the comments.** Can you really see someone running to Cloud in the church?? I never knew that! Okay, three reasons to watch AC again. **wills finals to be over so she has free time.** XD

Man, everyone else came up with so many awesome ideas! I still haven't got anything new. XD; Though it sounds like you've already gotten things figured out.^^

Ooh, I really do like the natural disaster idea, though! I'm thinking an earthquake specifically would be really intense. If it was a really bad one, you could have the danger of fires and explosions from gas lines being broken, unstable buildings, and, of course, aftershocks. XD

Or you could just have a random volcano appear in the city. LOL. Or an alien invasion! That counts as a natural disaster in the SimCity games. XD Dude, or a giant rock from space calculated to hit the city! They could call it Meteor II or something. XD

Or a Duel Monster attack. That's totally a natural disaster. LOL. ....Stop me now before I come up with any more off-the wall ideas. Because I totally can. XD

**nodnod.** I think of it mostly as the first way, Seph wanting a worthy opponent. But the sane Seph creeping through just a bit is so squee. X3

Neat! I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same kids in the movie. ^^ A nod to continuity.

I'll definitely have to do a natural disaster fic sometime. X3 An earthquake was kinda what I was thinking of, though that might be partially because the most recent disaster film I saw was The Great Los Angeles Earthquake.

**snickers @ random volcano.** And an alien invasion as a natural disaster ... priceless.

Yay Duel Monster attacks! ... Which reminds me I need to finish writing Der Engel des Todes.

The Great Los Angeles Earthquake... Wonderful. XD; **is now wondering if she's gonna have to worry about earthquakes in California.** Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll all be confined to Los Angeles? Though I'm not gonna be too far north of there... XD; Between earthquakes down there, and tornadoes up here, I'm not sure which natural disaster I prefer!

Hmm.... That's a YGO story isn't it? Haven't yet gotten around to reading those. XD;

XD; At least the movie's fictitious, so I don't think they've had one of the same magnitude as depicted in it. Earthquakes are a concern in L.A., but I'm not sure how far the effects extend. Hmm....

Yeah, it is. ^^
