My Cloud figure came. Wow! I wish there hadn't been so many delays. Once they actually shipped, he got here in two days. The consolation poster they allowed me to get because of the long shipping delays hasn't made it here, yet. Probably Monday or Tuesday.
It looks to me like they're trying a new mold style with him, judging by his size and the way his arms and hands were sculpted. Wow, he only comes up to Seph's chest. XD He's really only supposed to be about six inches shorter than Seph. If he was really the size the figure is, compared to Seph, they both would have most likely collapsed in the cave when Cloud was trying to half-drag, half-carry Seph out. Though the mental image amuses me more than it should.
I've started on chapter 3. I borrowed another idea from the Jedi Apprentice series and opened it with Zack having a vague dream that initially spooks him. But then he tries to brush it off, since he doesn't really believe in that sort of thing. Of course, the dream foreshadows future events.
Then comes the Nancy Drew influence as he and Seph start investigating the house and end up in a secret passageway that closes on them. XD Still gotta figure out how they get out.
I'm particularly amused by an exchange that takes place between them right before they start the search. Zack comments on if Seph ever sleeps, and then Sephiroth says that Zack should know; once he sleepwalked into Seph's quarters, fell on him, and woke him up. I love writing their interaction so much. X3
I decided that the warden will not be the one who fights Seph. He just doesn't seem like a fighter, more of a schemer. So the head prison guard will be the one. He'll be a sadistic creep and will fight with Zack, too, during the hours when Zack is held prisoner.
Also, I'm pondering slightly on how to work things near the end. ( Ponderings )
I've also worked more on T&D. I did a scene where Cloud comes back to get ready for the dinner with Tifa, and Sephiroth is trying to respond to what he says as if all is normal, while Sephiroth actually has about 75% of his memory back. Things haven't fully hit him yet, and he's feeling rather numb at this point. But he hates the current charade with Cloud, and knows that Cloud is going to feel betrayed when he gets his memories back. So I'm thinking Seph probably ends up leaving the house, maybe going back to the company, and that's when the rest comes back and it suddenly hits him full force.
I ended up depressing myself with the scene. XD; It's *sad*!And T&D will only get more angsty as it goes on!
And ah, today's date is March 31st. Always makes me think of the first time JP came out here. The 31st was a Sunday that year, 2002. Good times, good times. I always get a bit melancholy right around this time of year. It was always fun when he came to visit.
