Who Needs Roses When We Have Happy Hour

Who: Saori Nakagawa and anyone else [open]
Where: Aqures Ixen - The Space Saloon
When: February 14, 2017
Summary: Thankfully there is no Date Auction this year, but it wouldn't be right to dismiss Valentine's Day outright. So why not an All Day Happy Hour? If anyone would like to use the Space Saloon as the backdrop for their date, feel free to use this log.
Warnings: None for now.

It's no surprise Valentine's Day can be rather polarizing for a holiday. However, both Saori and her moogle for once agreed they couldn't outright ignore it. After all, if Barkeep was still around, he would've gone all out. Rather than have the entire place over saturated with hearts and other decorations, she decided to keep it minimal and focused more on the menu.

For the past week, Brigid managed to tack on fliers for the Saloon all over Aqures Ixen. "All Day Valentine's Day Special!" was boldly written. It also mentioned a special menu along with reduced prices across the menu including the drinks.

As patrons entered, there were several red and pink streamers hanging from the ceiling. Saori, dressed in a traditional bartender's clothes, could be seen manning the bar. Despite the constant flow of orders, she handles them all with ease only to take a break to make sure the kitchen staff was alright. Customers might see Brigid writing in a book of some sort with much fervor either up on the highest shelf of the back bar or on the rafters. Let's just hope that bottle of ink she has doesn't fall anytime soon.

Cloud glanced up at Saori's approach, a little distracted but not so far that he was too deep in his mind to hear her. He smiled and held out his glass in offering to the pitcher's purpose.

"Mostly. Just thinking of some friends." It was no secret at this point how many people from Gaia were in crystal stasis. Whether or not Saori had heard about Tifa and Zack in particular was the question.

Cloud offered a smile in thanks for the refill, but it was built on a flimsy foundation. At least this time the turmoil in his heart seemed a bit lighter than in other cases. He pursed his lips in thought, debating where to begin. He decided to start in the middle, where he found himself.

"My world is pretty complicated I guess, and a lot of the people from my world got brought here from different years. Sephiroth is from my time. Yuffie was in the future. I think Zack was too now that I think about it. Tifa definitely was. I was basically the furthest back I think." Or Sephiroth, but that hardly mattered these days.

"I know what happens in my future. I don't want it to happen, but you know, we can't control Crystal Stasis and all that." He waved his hand to stir the air, this wasn't the point he was trying to get to. He looked down into his glass, clasping his fingers around it as focused on the ripples in the water.

"Zack wasn't here for long. We barely had time to talk. He was my best friend and he watched out for me at home. I was hoping to return the favor. And with all we've learned I'm worried about him. Him and Tifa..." His brow furrowed this time, "She was from far in my future. After everything that happens. I'm supposed to be a year older than her. Instead she was like five years older than me. And she'd been through so much I guess it changed her?" He pursed his lips again. There was more but he didn't continue just yet.
