[ He entered this familiar place because he was curious, although he never expected it to be this familiar. There are certain aspects of the bar that not only remind him of Tifa's place, but he's pretty sure they are from the Seventh Heaven bar. It doesn't explain why the rest of the place looks so different, though.

He needs time to think and process what exactly is happening, although he'd rather be doing anything else than that.

Occupying a stool by the bar, he wonders if he should just help himself to a drink. There's no official staff here by the looks of it. If anyone finds themselves here with him, he'll address them dryly. ]

Local, or just passing through?

[ It's ok, he thinks he already knows the answer. ]

[ The lakeside is a visually stunning place, even with some of the industrial buildings in sight. If someone were to ask Cloud, or just spend one day in Midgar, they'd know that this place could do a lot worse. The bright purple trees alone are almost dream-like, almost romantic depending on who you ask. Cute jellyrabbits floating around, harmless and simply observing any newcomers. Off in the distance, across the lake, is a lighthouse that's demanding to be explored. What could one find there if they went? Everything about this place is a wonder, and the start of a new adventure!

And then there's Cloud, near the lake and toppled over in pain. He can't even stand up without having to lean against one of the trees. Next to him is a jellyrabbit, slowly floating away like a balloon.

... It appears he got stung in the ear like a dumbass. ]

Nnghhh...

[ Anything goes! ]
