What use is a puppet?

[There's a new doorway along this hall, and Cloud's decided to investigate it, in case it's dangerous.

However, there doesn't seem to much danger in a room filled with stationery supplies. He's checking everything, of course, but apart from someone perhaps accidentally stapling their hand, this room won't cause much trauma.

Well, physically, anyway. Because there is no mirror in this room, he hasn't seen the words that appeared on his forehead the moment he stepped into the room.

USELESS
BURDEN]

(ooc: Another version of a truth room/spell, this room causes what a person really thinks about themselves to be written on their forehead, good, bad, whatever. These words may change depending on a person's mood/who they talk to, but they can't be removed, except by leaving the room. And, of course, this post is for threadhopping!)

/off to dinner brb

[Turns to look at her.]

Hey. Guess the dressing room is encouraging more crazyness. [He's currently looking over some tubes of paint. Also the words on his forehead flicker to say 'UNSURE' for a moment before changing back.]

Kaaaaaay

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink.]

Huh. Looks like it.

[There's a slight frown on her face as she finally steps into the room ,'CONCERN' showing up on her forehead. Oh Cloud. Always making her worry.]

/and now dishes

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[He sees that. What tricks are you up to now DR.]

Are you feeling okay?

XD

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[More blink blink.]

Yeah, fine. Why?

['CONFUSED' showing up as well.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

...I think the dressing roOm's up to something. You've got writing on your forehead.

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

...Well, so do you.

[Looks around to see if there's any reflective surface so she can see what's written on her forehead.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

I do? [WARY is added - what's going on? He reaches up and rubs at his forehead.]

I don't feel anything.

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Suppresses a giggle, AMUSED and HAPPY taking CONCERN and CONFUSED places.]

Probably just more weird spell stuff. Doesn't seem dangerous at least.

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[And now WARY is replaced with EMBARSASSED.]

It's not funny. [He's more whining than arguing. As much as Cloud can whine, anyway.]

It keeps changing.

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[And AMUSED is now replaced with FOND.]

I think it reacts to our moods and what we're thinking.

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[BURDEN disappears to be replaced with LIKED, and his cheeks are now just tinted a little red.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Blushes slightly as well, SLIGHTLY INSECURE popping up there. Shush. She's shy around Cloud.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[And he's getting a VERY INSECURE to match.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a bit, before smiling and taking one of his hands in both of her own, DETERMINED appearing, but not replacing SLIGHTLY INSECURE.]

Cloud, cheer up. You dont have anything to be insecure about. Trust me.

[He's a hero for crying out loud. :|]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[And everything disappears for a second, then WANT flashes for a moment before being replaced by DISEASED and WEAK. Seems like he disagrees.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[She was still kinda blinking a bit at that WANT, but frowns the moment she sees what replaces it.]

You're not weak, Cloud. And we will find a way to fix this.

[One of her hands moves to gently touch his arm with the Geostigma.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[He just groans. He's not even talking and they're having a conversation. His forehead, however, now shows HOPE, albeit smaller than the other words have been.

And then, tentatively, he puts his own hand over hers.]

...Thank you.

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey guess what? She's got HOPE too. And FOND is back as well.

As is her little blush.]

Anytime.

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[And now also in small writing is WORTHWHILE.

...aaaand WANT is back too. Hey he's a guy okay. At least it's not more descriptive.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Her blush just increased, and she bites her lip a little, NERVOUS, and DETERMINED joining HOPE and FOND.

Also, were they this close a moment ago? She cant remember. Oh well.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[He can't remember either. Not that he's complaining. His hand over hers squeezes just a little and he moves a tiny bit closer and pauses. UNSURE...

WAIT.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[Her brain is kinda on auto pilot by now. As she'd normally be too shy to even get this close. But that's probably a good thing. Considering she'd normally not be able to gather enough confidence to lean forward and gently place a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Sure, she wont be able to believe that she just did that. But hey, she did it. Now, to discover the consequences.]

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[For a moment, both his mind and his face are blank, still processing what just happened. Idly he wonders whether, if it was Zack instead of him, his forehead would say SCORE.

Thankfully, that's not what shows up on his own face. Instead, it's DISBELIEF and LUCKY. With his other hand he reaches up and holds some of Tifa's hair, not sure how to respond other than a very slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.]

[7heavenguardian.livejournal.com]

[There had been SHOCK and NERVOUS and DISBELIEF and more SHOCK and NERVOUS after what she did, continuing until something finally showed up on his face as well. Then there's RELIEF and HAPPINESS and hey, FOND again.]

...You know, that poker face of yours is kinda scary sometimes.

[wannabeforgiven.livejournal.com]

[FOND has decided to make it's way onto his face as well, whilst he unconciously twirls the strand of hair a little. He's silent for a moment.]

...It comes in handy sometimes. [No he doesn't always get jokes. Bear with him.]
