Everyone gets a shot
Who: Reno and You
Where: Around Aqures Ixen, etc.
When: March 1 to...
Summary: Reno reacts to the the loss of the Other Heroes, and Cid's Mognet Letter -- not to mention dealing with everyone else's reactions toward him.
Warnings: Language, surely. No others yet.
The Streets of Aqures Ixen
It had been awful. The death, the sharp pains all through his body, just like in the vision. Except it wasn't three months from now, it was yesterday. Heroes who had done their damnedest to help and do their part, had fought for six months and who had finally made it here -- gone. No warning, no nothing, just gone.
Badou was gone. They'd just found each other again, after all that time, a real face from Atia. And frankly, Reno was sick of the losing game.
He stopped walking, fists clenched. With a frustrated yell, he kicked the nearest wall.
"Cheating"
Reno had had quite a few choice words to write back to Cid after that accusation of rigging the Mognet election. Testimony? Hair? Cid was either a lying sack of shit, or someone had actually planted some very specific evidence to get Reno caught. And on his life as a Turk, Reno had been especially careful. The worst was Cid's threat to open his file on Palitutu's computer and use it against him. What kind of trial system let that sort of history in? Unrelated incidents, only meant to bias people against him, it was hardly just! Reno wasn't one to stomp his feet and whine "it's not fair," but in all honesty, this was ridiculous.
Reno could only think of one person -- or rather, one moogle -- who had had any inkling of his plans. Life was going to get a lot harder for that little four-eyed pipsqueak Reno was so lucky to call his own. In the meantime, it would seem that everyone and their mother was out to make Reno's life harder.
The Pub [Closed to Johnny]
It wasn't hard to understand the volatile feelings in Johnny's note. Reno just hoped the bigwigs got their own copies. Whether or not they could actually do something about it... well... it seemed like something more important to choke on than Mognet, or airships, or hunting T-Rex.
He didn't bother writing back. Johnny wouldn't answer that. He knew where to find the other man, and that was better. Sliding in across from the slumped over half-demon, he ordered another round. By the looks of the table, he had a lot of catching up to do.

"I sure as hell wasn't gonna let Mograma win," he grumbled. "Even if someone else was gonna cheat for 'im, I was puttin' more votes for an actually good candidate."

Thankfully, it didn't seem that the Moogles were too upset at them. That would have been a disaster.
"The thing about politics and votin', Reno, is that if you change the game by not playin' by the rules, folks are gonna eye you, good intentions or not. Fortunately, as we've seen, most Moogles liked Melrose anyway, so they shouldn't be upset. Well, not as much as you'd think. You and Deadpool are gettin' off free, but you gotta be careful if we're supposed to be the symbol of hope for this planet."

Hope? Things were hopeless. Reno rolled his eyes. For the first time in over a year, he was seriously missing working with Shinra. Sure, it was "bad" and "wrong" and blah blah blah... But at least things made sense. Do something for a specific reason, have specific consequences.
"The people wanna hate me, whatever. I really don't fuckin' care anymore." Reno was getting tired of this. He knew his good impression was only temporary -- that everyone would see him for being an asshole eventually. It was only a matter of time. He was also aware he was really being pretty spiteful to Barkeep... but he filed it under being a stubborn asshole.

Ignorant as they may be, that wasn't a reason to cast them aside.
"Go do your own thing. I'm gonna do mine and watch over these people while providin' a good example. Eyes are all on us, whether we like it or not. I don't wanna make more enemies than we already do."
He pulled his robes tightly over his front and gave Reno one final frown before turning on his heel. "You have a good day."
