Our new single “Let Me Be Away” is available now everywhere you listen to music. It’s the third single from our upcoming album “Mute the Charm” which comes out everywhere on February 10th.
The song title is about having your own space in life to be and find out who you are. To have room to make mistakes and also make the right moves. Freedom to sit inside yourself and feel who you are without outside pressures swaying you away from your own peace. The freedom to experience your own unique self without the distractions of having to please others or submit to other people’s perceptions of you. Be away and be yourself.

Recommended Album: The Van Pelt - ‘Artisans & Merchants’
Tumblr media
Nostalgia has become something of a cheap, temporal thrill in today’s creative culture. There’s nothing worse than hearing an artist attempting to recreate a past feeling through an imitation of sound from its imperial era, hoping to hit the exact same way. The Van Pelt, who after being 26 years removed from a proper studio release, are not interested in doing that even if the past flickers throughout their long-awaited third full-length effort, Artisans & Merchants. Seminal within the emotive indie rock scene decades ago alongside the more nuanced sounds of Karate, June of 44 and American Football, the sedated punk and post-hardcore which Chris Leo, Brian Maryansky, Neil O'Brien and Sean Greene cultivated in their earlier work remains at its foundation, but all the more adventurous and artistically wiser through the modern day lens in listens that weird out in asymmetrical post-punk and experimental psych rock detours while remaining resoundingly melodious. Leo’s sing-spoken trail of words often recollects past memories of shows and the harder realities of being an independent band in a different era than what today’s kids in vans put up with, yet necessarily condescending today’s culture, but instead offering a road map for any young band willing to listen. There’s the perils of death, aging, and love spun up around “the best focaccia in the world,” and when it hits a certain feeling, it’s the one of bringing new life to ones you thought had long passed you by.
Highlights: “Image of Health”, “Artisans & Merchants”, “Cold Coconuts”
Artisans & Merchants by The Van Pelt

sorry, another ask. watched the vids on your tumblr with Roland in them. guy was flirting with someone? being a little silly?
I love that bit and that one line and the banter from that level has spawned many many ideas.
Miller: "All clear for them. Where are all the bad guys?" As if in response, numerous Watchers translocate into the area. Roland: (sarcastically) "Oh no! Prometheans! Ahhh!" Miller: "Roland! Settle down!" Roland: "Hmm. Isn't that how you always say it?" Miller: "Tell you what, I've got this right now. You go see if Captain Lasky needs your help." Roland: "I can do a million things at once, like can talk to Captain Lasky, I can flirt with Captain-" Miller: "Shhh!"
Miller why are you shushing him so quickly? Roland why are you jumping immediately to flirting with the captain?
This is one of my favorite levels because it's when Roland talks the most and it's also the third level he's appeared on. He helps on two previous levels and then saunters in and is a smug bastard while Miller suffers.
Miller: "Crimson, it's Miller... the Commander isn't in the Ops Center, and she's not answering her personal comm. " Roland: "No worries, Spartan Miller. Commander Palmer's busy. But I'm here. I could run these ops solo, you know." Miller: "I'm in charge, Roland. You just be my extra set of eyes. Please."

The Van Pelt - “Grid”
Tumblr media
The Van Pelt’s recollection of the past continues to surface into view on "Grid", the final preview off the seminal indie-emo rock band's very long-awaited fourth full-length effort, Artisans & Records. In this instance, it's racing into mind like a chase scene. Decidedly more of a post-punk refraction into a specific memory, vocalist Chris Leo narrates the listen with a sing-spoken panic involving seeing a band in a garage at a house party, losing his keys, and a girl who calls him a loser, straight down to pinpointing the particularities to its street intersection. Repetition of the memory propels the listen into a spin-out, getting swept up onto the commotion of a night where everything goes right and wrong. At the time, it probably felt like any other night when you’re younger, and yet, those are the ones that leave their mark decades on...
youtube
The Van Pelt’s Artisans & Merchants will be released March 17th on Gringo Records / La Castanya / Spartan Records.

In his spartan home in Israel's Negev desert, Mohamed Hassouna points to the spot where his seven-year-old daughter Amina was seriously wounded by a fragment of a projectile during Iran's attack on Israel. Amina, the only badly injured person recorded in Israel in this unprecedented attack by Tehran, was placed in intensive care with a serious head injury, said the Soroka hospital in the city of Beersheva. The little girl belongs to the Bedouin community, descendants of Muslim Arab shepherds who live in the Negev and are often denied many of the rights granted to other citizens. "We have no shelter," lamented Amina's father, who criticised Israeli authorities for leaving him and his family at the mercy of rockets and missiles. Many Bedouin communities have lived on the margins, and are often accused by authorities of settling on desert lands without official authorisation. While most Israelis have access to bomb shelters, many Bedouin communities are not allowed to build them. Their villages, on paper, do not exist, and no road signs lead to them.

A Nymph and A Spartan
Tumblr media
Record of Ragnarök - Leonidas x Female Reader
Warnings - 18+Only. Adult Situations.
Okay, so credit for this idea goes to an anon on @rukia-writes blog, which I have been graciously allowed to use, so I hope you don't mind because we need more sexy Leonidas stories, damn it--
Enjoy!
-
"We shouldn't be in here!"
"Oh, Aurai, stop worrying."
"Start worrying, Stellia! Lord Apollo would be furious if he knew we were here--"
"We are here for Lord Apollo, remember--?"
You huffed slightly as your fellow nymphs bickered between themselves, tucked behind you as you crouched together in the small, wooded area the three of you had snuck into. The whole thing had been Stellia's idea. "We should understand who Lord Apollo is facing!" She had insisted, while Aurai had been indignant at the thought Apollo required any kind of advantage to best a mere human. You had tagged along simply to keep them out of trouble.
"We're going to get caught if you two do not pipe down--" You tried to shush them, only for Stellia to suddenly grasp your arm, pointing just past the treeline.
"Look!"
You followed her gesture with an aggrieved sigh - you were missing a perfectly good bath for this - and turned to face the direction she was pointing, half expecting--
Men.
Shirtless men.
Tall, shirtless, filled with muscle, Spartan men.
"Oh Fates--" Aurai squeaked, clasping a hand over her mouth, a deep flush filling her cheeks. "We...we should leave!"
"No." You replied, remaining rooted to the spot. The Spartans seemed to be training, judging by the dummies and weapons scattered about. You had never actually been to Sparta in its glory, but if the towering specimens of manhood in front of you, bodies built like exquisitely carved statues made flesh and blood were the norm, you severely regretted it.
The three of you remained huddled together, blatantly gawking at every contracting muscle - if any of the Spartans looked up they probably would have spotted you. "Which...um..." Stellia found her voice first, although her eyes remained glued to the back of a particularly strapping fellow practicing with bow and arrow. "...which one do you think is facing Lord Apollo...?"
"Who cares?" You said back vaguely. Stellia hummed as though in agreement, and you both fell silent once more. The archer released his arrow, hitting the target with a loud thunk.
Aurai grasped your hand, sounding flustered. "We...we should--"
"What are you doing in here?" A deep, masculine voice boomed behind you.
Stellia and Aurai both shrieked in alarm, grabbing onto your sides as you spun around. Your gaze landed on a broad expanse of abdomen, warm fleshed carved expertly into solid, defined muscle. Scar tissue bumped against smooth planes of skin, and your eyes trailed upwards over broad pectoral muscles, full and large, sharply defined collarbones, a somewhat scruffy beard dusting over a handsome jawline, full lips turned down in a severe frown--
"I don't care for repeating myself." King Leonidas of Sparta said, his voice rumbling darkly like thunder. The sound probably should have made you shiver with fear, instead of...something else. "What are you three doing in here?"
You opened your mouth to reply - to say something - but your mind had become quite unhelpful in anything but hyper focusing on every inch of the naked torso directly in front of you. He folded his arms - the movement causing the thick, powerful muscles of his biceps to swell indecently, his frown growing deeper as he glared down at you impatiently.
Fates, he was gorgeous--
"You three attend Lord Apollo, do you not?" A woman's voice, firm and measured as a steel blade, spoke from behind Leonidas's massive frame. Lady Brunhilde stepped around him, her cool gaze running over you and your companions. "You should not be in here. I am afraid I must escort you outside."
Leonidas's frown became a snarl, a vicious flash of teeth. "You serve that preening bastard?" Aurai squeaked out something that may have been some manner of defence, but she looked far too flustered to form proper words. Stellia was still staring at Leonidas, jaw hanging open slightly.
You knew you should have been offended at such an insult to your Lord, but you instead tilted your head upwards, meeting the furious fire in Leonidas's eyes. You slowly rose to your feet, the human man towering over you still, feeling the weight of his men's eyes on your back, having apparently noticed the commotion.
"My apologies." You said finally, reaching out to softly brush your palm against Leonidas's abdomen, the muscles flexing unconsciously under your touch. You peered up at him through your lashes, smiling as his eyebrows twitched slightly upwards in a brief flash of surprise. "We were just going."
Leonidas watched as your slowly brushed past him, nodding politely to Lady Brunhilde who regarded you with a raised brow and somewhat bemused smile. You followed the Valkyrie outside, Stellia and Aurai darting after you, feeling Leonidas's gaze burning against your back.
"Please, do not tell Lord Apollo--" Aurai pleaded at Brunhilde, who barely glanced over her shoulder.
"I care little about your personal relationships with your master. I won't say anything."
You smiled brightly at Brunhilde as she delivered you back to Apollo's rooms, and you could have sworn you saw a glimmer of amusement in the Valkyrie's eyes as she walked away.
-
You were not sure exactly how time worked in the Valhalla Arena.
You had considered asking Brunhilde, but you doubted she had particular interest in educating you on the subject, and you had a more pressing matter you wished to address.
Lord Apollo had barely noticed your absence, and last you had seen him he was in the baths with your fellow nymphs. Aurai and Stellia had settled in, but you had made your excuses and left, although you doubted anyone besides them had seen you leave Lord Apollo's rooms.
Normally you would have been bothered by Apollo's lack of attention, although it was hardly unusual. The God's affections were fickle and tempestuous as the weather, but he never failed to attract flocks of admirers regardless.
Why should he have all the fun?
It did not take long to find Leonidas's quarters, even less to sneak your way in. Dark had fallen over the area in a seeming imitation of night, and you could hear men laughing and hear fire crackling somewhere further within.
You peered through the gloom, trying to decide where exactly to go, when arms circled around your waist, and you found yourself pulled flush against a broad, muscled chest. "You Gods never learn, do you?" Leonidas's growled lowly in your ear, the sound washing over you like a wave, making you shiver softly. "You just do whatever you want, don't you?"
You laughed slightly, the heat of Leonidas's body searing through your clothes, making your breath quicken. You reached down to trail your fingers along his forearm, nails coming to lightly dig into the solid muscle of his bicep. "I certainly hope so."
Leonidas scoffed, a short, booming laugh falling from his lips, the sound vibrating deep in his strong chest. "What makes you think I'm interested in what you have to offer, God?"
You chuckled, pushing your hips back against his. Your rear brushed against something hard and hot and large and you couldn't suppress the shiver of excitement that ran up your spine, nor the jolt of desire that shot through your belly as Leonidas groaned softly at your movements. "I don't think that's a weapon hidden down there."
Leonidas shook slightly, his chin dropping to your shoulder, the scruff of his beard rubbing against the skin of your shoulder. You bit your lip, picturing the sensation of it rubbing against other areas and your heart quickened as Leonidas's large, rough palms slowly slid up your arms, long fingers brushing at the fabric of your loose dress.
"...may I?" He murmured in your ear, voice low and heavy with the growing embers of desire. You shivered in anticipation, and reached up to gently grasp his hands, your fingers sliding over his to guide them slowly downwards, pulling your gown with them.
Your dress pooled at your feet, and you felt a certain smugness as you felt Leonidas stiffen at your back, the slightest sharp inhale of breath. You turned to press your chest flush against his, a thrill shooting through you as you caught the darkening of his eyes, the hungry way they roamed over you.
"...that bastard won't get mad you are here?" Leonidas asked after a moment, his tongue darting out to wet his lower lip.
"Does it matter if he does?" You trailed your fingers down his abdomen, grabbing at the waistband of his pants. "He might be dead tomorrow."
Leonidas looked surprised, before tossing his head back, a deep roar of laughter spilling from him. His broad shoulders shook for a few moments, before he returned his gaze to you, a genuinely amused grin forming on his face.
"You're a woman after my own heart, nymph."
You felt heat in your cheeks at his words, the surprising warmth in his expression, and you shrugged lightly, pulling his waistband downwards, exposing the deliciously defined v-shape in his hips. You bit your lower lip hard, the pulse of lust deep in your belly almost making your knees shake. "It's not just your heart I'm after."
Leonidas's grin turned wolfish, and he ducked down, his arm wrapping around your hip. You yelped as you were suddenly hoisted onto his shoulder. Leonidas shook out of his pants, carelessly kicking them aside as he began striding in a direction you sincerely hoped there was a bed.
"I might be after something else of yours, too."
-
"Seriously, where were you yesterday? You never came back!"
"Stellia, will you stop--"
The crowd was already stirring with excitement, and you watched with some trepidation as Heimdall began to announce the Ninth Round of Ragnarök. You remained quiet as Stellia continued to prod you, while Aurai nervously toyed with her hands.
Apollo entered the arena, golden and resplendent as always, and your fellow nymphs dissolved into excited squeals and cheers. You clapped softly, your gaze drifting towards the opposing doors.
Leonidas strode into the Arena, tall and proud as any warrior king should be. His eyes were firmly on Apollo, his handsome, scarred face forming an angry sneer. His gaze drifted briefly over Apollo's head, however, landing on you amongst the crowd. Apollo's head slowly turned, an expression of confusion clouding his lovely features.
You smiled, uncaring of who saw you, lifted your fingers to your lips, and blew a kiss in Leonidas's direction.
Leonidas's eyebrows rose, but you could see the pleased smirk on his face as he lifted a large hand, clenching his fist as though to catch your kiss in his hand.
Apollo looked stunned, his jaw dropping open, briefly losing all composure and grace as he gawked in total disbelief at the display he had just witnessed in front of him.
"What was that?!" Aurai yelped loudly, looking at you as though you had sprang a second head.
"You harlot." Stellia grabbed your hand, pulling you towards her eagerly, eyes bright. "Tell me everything!"
"Have you lost your mind?!" Another nymph yelled, while the one beside her peered down at Leonidas thoughtfully.
"I mean...he is rather dashing--"
"Forget that, he's hot."
"Oh, I was hoping someone would say it, it's been driving me mad--"
You couldn't fight the smile forming on your face as Apollo's expression turned sour, turning back to face Leonidas, who looked delightfully smug, tossing a wild grin your way.
Fates, you wanted him to win.

Continuing from here for those who wondered whether the Rusted Knight X Tarnished Spartan would’ve had kids in the Ever After…
Jaune: …and that’s why it’s important to communicate with your partner about intimacy. Remember, if they really care for you they’ll consider how you feel and want you to be comfortable!
Pyrrha: And also, it’s very important to use protection!
Teenaged Arkos Son: You mean like watching dates and pulling out?
Jaune/Pyrrha: 😱 NO!!!!
Fifteen years, nine months, and one week earlier…
Pyrrha: *settling into new room in Vol 10 in Vacuo, freshly-rejuvenated by the Ever After tree* Ah…! It feels so nice to be young again and back with our friends!
Jaune: *hugs her from behind* Hey, babe~you know what ELSE comes with feeling young again…? 😏
Pyrrha: Oooh…! Do you think we should? We haven’t picked up any condoms since coming back~! 🥴
Jaune: I mean…we made do for several decades by pulling out and being careful with safe days in the Ever After. Seems like it works, right?
Pyrrha: Hm…🤔 I suppose you’re right!
Pyrrha: *drags Jaune to bed* 😏
Back in the present…
Jaune: …and that’s how we found out that humans apparently can’t procreate in the Ever After, and we’d been having unprotected sex the whole time.
Arkos son: Are you serious right now?! That’s the story of how I was born?! You and mom spent so long in a fairy tale that you forgot how sex works?! I was a mistake?!?!
Pyrrha: Be polite to your father, young man! It was a very stressful time for everyone!
Pyrrha: And for the record, when your father and I tell that story, we describe you as a beautiful magical blessing that the even Ever After couldn’t pull off! 😤

Accurate Reenactments Based On Facts
Most cultures across the Galaxy do their utmost to preserve and remember their history, both the great achievements, and the terrible mistakes. Humans go a few dozen steps further.
They introduced us to a concept called "Historical reenactments" - accurate recreations of the situations and conditions of ancient events, usually battles, played out with prop equipment by real people. They also said they sometimes do these just for fun and don't care about being 100% accurate.
This particular reenactment was of a battle called Thermopylae. Using numerous historical records, they recreated the location, printed slightly lighter versions of the armor (well, helmets only for some) they wore, and dull weapons with embedded stun shockers that would create a kinetic "bump" upon contact to prevent actual injury by pushing the person back instead.
Once everyone was geared up the atmosphere changed, both visually as the holographic projectors did their thing, and from the Humans themselves - their demeanor became that of... wilderness. Ferocity. Deadly focus. It was quite fear inducing even from afar.
Then the defenders in red, the "Spartans", created a sort of spiky dome with their shields and spears. Then the attackers in blue, the "Persians" unleashed a terrifying volley of arrows, the sky hologram went darker, then a bright beam of light shone upon the defenders as they swept off arrows stuck to their shields in dramatic fashion before proceeding to charge towards their assaulting foes.
We noticed the "Spartans" were all much larger than the "Persians", and actually were equipped with subtle and very modern exoskeletons. Perplexed by this we asked if these Spartans had a very particular technological advantage for their time:
"Well, not as far as we can tell, but based on the materials we have, Spartans were, like, really buff and super strong compared to the average person of the time. Plus, according to the feats of strength they supposedly displayed, we suspect they became an extinct branch of Humanity at some point, so the exoskeletons are there to mimic what we think they were like. Anyway, look, this is the coolest part."
As they spoke, the artificial gravity was lowered slightly and there was a spike in the power output from the exoskeleton equipped Spartans. Now they were flinging the approaching Persians dozens of feet into the air, a single bare-chested man kicked three of them at once backwards at a whole group, knocking the wind out of them.
This sort of extreme violence continued for several minutes.
Suddenly, an incredibly large Persian man on a throne was carried to what was effectively the center stage. Him and a heavily bearded Spartan exchanged a dramatic dialogue, the Spartan threw his spear at the Persian, who dodged it with a single turn of his head, then proceeded to summon a massive horde of small Persians who quickly began to overrun the Spartans.
There were bodies and shields and spears and pieces of armor flying everywhere, but gradually all the red became engulfed by the blue, and only one remaining Spartan managed to wriggle his way out of the carnage and make a run for it back to their city in the distance.
Seemingly satisfied after plucking out the bearded Spartan from the pile, the giant Persian roared in triumph and this is when the reenactment ended and everyone gathered for a feast.
So this is how ancient Human Battles went, huh.
"Well, not all of them. Usually it's between more equal forces in large open fields, or prolonged sieges, which can be a bit boring to recreate.
You should come back next month, we'll be doing an old naval battle between the British Empire and Independent Pirates Lords. It ends with a really sweet whirlpool showdown. Man, what are the odds of that happening, eh?"

Shizuroth, part six.
-
Genesis enters Sephiroth's room like he owns the place, which is probably a good thing, because the man the room actually belongs to has no idea what's even in there.
As it turns out, not much.
It's not small, exactly, for a single room apartment with a kitchenette and a bathroom it's actually really spacious! It even has two nice big windows! But it's… spartan. There's a bed, a desk, and the tiniest of kitchen tables. The only thing that could maybe, imaginatively, be called decoration is the stand on which sits Sephiroth's ridiculously long sword. And… that's it.
"Ah, home sweet home," Genesis says, shaking his head and tutting at him. "You, my friend, are in desperate need of colour in your life."
Well - he doesn't disagree! Everything in the room is drab gunmetal grey, mass-produced and sad. Even the curtainless windows just look depressing. And the Feng Shui of the place is awful. Sephiroth's bed is near the door, and you need to go around it to the bathroom, and his desk is facing the corner! The flow of energy is all over the place!
And okay, maybe Feng Shui isn't a thing here - but still! There should be some plants, at least! Some artwork maybe! A carpet or two? The bed doesn't even have a duvet! And there's more than enough room for a couch here, maybe even two. Doesn't Sephiroth ever have people over?
Looking at Genesis, rummaging through the cupboards and making faces at the lack of actual cups there… probably not. Because it seriously looks like Sephiroth had precisely one of everything. One tea mug, one glass, one plate, one bowl and one of each utensils. And no pots and pans. Microwave and electric kettle, and that's it.
If it turns out that Sephiroth only just has instant noodles in his cupboard…
Genesis compromises by using the mug and the water glass to make tea, and the Peak Lord of Qing Jing Peak winces at the brusque thoughtless scalding of the poor tea in its teabags.
"Don't make faces at me - you're the one who doesn't have cups," Genesis says with a sniff and carries the cups to the kitchen table. It's round, metallic, and the chairs look utterly uncomfortable. "Come on, tell me everything. Unburden your tale of woe."
Currently his biggest woe is the veritable black hole of Feng Shui that's Sephiroth's room and he'd like nothing more than to rearrange everything. Right after raiding the wardrobe to see if the man owns a single functional shirt.
Giving Genesis' turtleneck a bitter glance, he goes to sit down. Genesis is cursed with the Final Fantasy Buckles too, but he's got a shirt. Life is utterly unfair.
"Well?" Genesis asks, pushing the tea glass over the metal table. It rattles. "What happened at the lab?"
Making a face, he takes the glass. The tea smells strongly of this will taste awful. "I already told you. Three times the maximum dose."
"So you don't remember?" Genesis asks, perceptively.
Well, obviously not. Sephiroth died, and by the time he appeared, his body was already patched up. It's really very similar to how he landed in Shen Qingqiu. Mako injection instead of Qi deviation, but from what he remembers of FFVII… isn't Mako also energy? Life blood of the planet, condensed. Which was being injected into people.
He… really needs to figure out what that means in the framework of cultivation. If anything, It might be applicable - energy is energy. Or it might be just magic.
"The winds of fate have blown a mighty storm your way, then," Genesis says, taking a sip of tea. He doesn't look like he likes it.
Giving the man a slight shake of Sephiroth's head, he hums. "I feel fine," he says, feeling like a broken record. It'd really be better if the man just left, so that he could sort himself out. And then the room. And then the wardrobe. And then investigate if the laptop would be just as disappointing as the phone has been. "I just need… a break. To recover." Hint, hint!
Genesis stares at him blankly and puts the mug down with a sharp noise. "Well, now I know it's a disaster! Sephiroth himself, asking for a break? Stop the presses, the narrative has gone completely off the rails!"
Leaning back a little, he covers his frustration by taking a drink of Sephiroth's tea and then covering his cough in a displeased hum. Ugh, it's just as bad as he thought it would be. "I can't take a break?" he asks resentfully.
"No, no, of course no one says you can't! Except maybe professor Hojo, but we shall ignore him for the time being," Genesis says quickly and leans forward. "But, Sephiroth, when have you ever taken a break?"
… Depressing! Why is the scary epic Big Bad so depressing?! That's not how it should be! Isn't he supposed to be off-the-rails, scenery-chewing, scene-stealing thing of badassery? One of the most iconic villains of video game history?! With the bombastic theme and the crazy eyes?! Hello?! Why is he so sad?!
Genesis watches him for a moment and then leans forward. "Give me your PHS."
"What?"
"Your PHS," Genesis says impatiently, making a gimme gesture at Sephiroth's pocket. "Give it to me."
".... Why?" he asks suspiciously, putting a protective hand over it. It's where Sephiroth's phone is.
"So that I can send Lazard your appeal for time off! Goddess knows you won't do it yourself - the moment I turn my back you'll probably be heading off to a training mission or something," Genesis says pointedly. "So give."
But… it's his phone now…
"I'll leave you to mope in peace if you do," Genesis bargains, rolling his eyes. "You'll have all the time in the world to lick your wounds and figure out how to cover it up so that no one will be the wiser, I promise. Once I get you some actual time off."
Genesis was - would be - the main villain in Crisis Core. Can he trust the man with Sephiroth's phone? The man looks keen and sincere, but he also looks like he's up to something. And also onto him, which is not great!
Ah, he's really messing this up, without a System to scream at him about what's OOC and what isn't, huh.
Genesis wiggles his fingers, insistent.
… Some time to himself would be great, though. And free time would mean that he wouldn't have to deal with missions just yet. That… could only be good. Maybe there's some honour between villains? It was a big theme in Crisis Core, honour.
"Don't do anything weird with it," he says finally and hands Sephiroth's flip phone over. 
"Would I do such a thing?" Genesis asks, huffing in offence and snatches the phone right up. He doesn't even wait for a reply, already typing away quickly and with gleeful flourish.
Giving the man a suspicious look over his glass of horrible tea, the transmigrator can only hope he wouldn't regret this.
The message Genesis sends to the Director of SOLDIER is decently professional, if a bit presumptuous. It goes along the lines of, "On account of my recent incident in the Shinra Medical, I will be taking some time off for personal reasons," and it's barely even a request, more a demand. But it gets Sephiroth the time off he needs, and promptly, at that - whole three days of it, too! It's most appreciated.
The mailing lists Genesis joins, however, aren't.

SY at S: damn bitch, you live like this?
