[ SLOW UPDATES ]
In life every choice has a consequence. For the young mercenary, Celeste Castel, her choice would decide the Planet's fate. When she meets a young man named Cloud Strife, she is asked one of the most hardest questions that will affe...
We continue deeper into the tunnel facing many dangerous monsters. It seems Elmyra was right about those monsters. After many turns of moving some giant robot's arm and much ladder climbing, we were almost out. Cloud opens up a giant door as Aerith and I walk in. That was until some hoodlums wanted to pick a fight with us. "Anybody around?" Aerith calls out. "Guess it's just us."
Right then, I notice a fireplace that seems like it was recently put out. "Guys . . ." I call out to the two, pointing to the fireplace. "It's still warm." Cloud and Aerith kneel beside the fireplace, inspecting it.
"Should we relight it?" Aerith stares at the fireplace. "Have our own campfire?" I scan the area for anyone who could have been using the fire. At the corner of my eyes, I see three figures walk up to us. "Cloud," I say, poking his arm to get his attention.

"Lookie here, boys!" the middle hoodlum jeers at us - Beck. "Caught us some burglars! I'd say we're owed 'compensatory damages!'" A shorter hoodlum laughs along, "Yeah! Complementary - uh, composite - Uh, I don't got it."
"How stupid can you be? It's crazy simple!" Beck scolds. "Compensatory damages is like, uh . . . It's like . . . compensation for damages!" I mentally facepalm at their vocabulary.
"We haven't done anything wrong," Cloud says to the three hoodlums. "Yeah! We were just passing through!" Aerith adds in. "Ohhh? A likely story," the pale hoodlum mockingly shrugs - Burke.
"Then what do you want?" I send a glare to the hoodlums, with my sword in hand. "Nothing but our due recompense - that's all!" Beck gestures. Burke and Butch cheer from behind. Butch confusingly asks, "Wait what? Do wreck-em-pants!?"
"No, shit-for-brains! 'Due recompense'! It's like uh . . . compensatory damages!" Beck frustratedly shouts. I literally wanted to fall over at their incredibly awful high vocabulary. "Well, I've had enough vocabulary for one day," I say, giving Aerith and Cloud a small cue to jump into battle. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
. . .
"Hmph," I glare at the defeated hoodlums playing dead on the ground. We press on and finally make it out of the tunnel.
Location: Sector 6 Slums - Evergreen Park Time: 1:40 A.M.
We come upon a small playground, as Aerith says, "Alright, there it is. The gate to Sector 7 . . ." Cloud glares at the closed giant gate. "Looks shut. How do we open it?" Cloud turns to Aerith.
"How about we take a break?" Aerith suggests, looking at me. "I'm sure you're tired, Celeste-"
"No, we don't have time for-" Aerith cuts Cloud off by climbing up the playground's slide. "Up there looks nice!" Aerith smiles at the two of us. "You two, c'mon!" Cloud reluctantly climbs up and sits beside her. I, on the other hand, didn't join, because there wasn't any more room. I shrug, uninterested, and wander around the playground, playing on the playground structures.
