Subject: mercenary work!

[ Coming to your journals LIVE with an almost hurried, scribble-like pace, Zack seems excited to address the community: ]

[ DRUMROLL???? ]

And dont worry about the gil. Just pay us in food or something.

Or a cool gadget?

Anyway. Hit us up if you need help with anything. First time clients will get a huge discount!

[Another bit of text begins forming under Zack's with far neater handwriting in comparison.]

He couldn't wait until we figured out a name. But, like he said, if you need any help, you can contact either one of us. We'll get the job done.

[Now that that's done, Cloud turns towards Zack, brow raised curiously towards his friend.]

What kind of discount did you have in mind? Considering there isn't really money involved when it comes to things here?

Fantastic! I wondered when more mercenary groups would start springing up.

I work for another group, but am happy to offer any healing should a job get to be a little too rough on you gentlemen. The shadow creatures of the woods never did fight fair.

You sound less like mercenaries and more like an adventurer's guild.

[theheroics]

[ Zack stretches before peering over to his friend with a grin. ]

Honestly? Haven't really thought of one yet. [ HE'S SO STUPID. ] But it's a cool thing to say, right? Gotta rope the customers in first!

[theheroics]

looks like we came in just in time then!

and hey that doesnt sound too bad! we could def use the healing from time to time and split whatever we make if things get too hairy

[theheroics]

think of it more as a "jack of all trades" kinda deal

sure, theres mercenary work to be done but we wanted to widen our audience!

[threebetrayals]

Then why advertise yourself as mercenaries? That implies fighting only.

Sender: Cloud Strife

[spikyheaded]

I've heard of another one a little while back. Guessing this is the one with Dante?

Sender: Cloud Strife

[spikyheaded]

You can find your cat on your own then, if that's the case.

[threebetrayals]

I'm just saying, you might want to advertise yourselves correctly!

[theheroics]

yeah

kicking requests in the butt!

same thing

[spikyheaded]

We're just getting our names out there. At least to start out.

[He recalls what both Tifa and Aerith had told him when he was starting out himself. And, though begrudgingly, he had to admit that they were probably on to something then.]

[threebetrayals]

Not really.

[threebetrayals]

But under the wrong name.

[spikyheaded]

Going to have to think of one fast. It might've been a good hook but we could also lose customers if you come up empty.

[Leave it to Cloud to be the stick in the mud.]

[spikyheaded]

So you're saying The Zack and Cloud Mercenary Spiky Squad Gang isn't good enough?

[theheroics]

sounds like you gotta be a bit more open minded then

[threebetrayals]

Maybe for children.

[songbird_slayer]

That's the one! We primarily deal in dreamwalking to handle nightmares, though I do a little "hobby hunting" in the Wildlands myself.

[songbird_slayer]

No need to split. If anything I'd pay you boys in meals for the opportunity to be of aid.

I suppose it's counter-intuitive, but really, it's no scales off my tail.

[theheroics]

[ He is a business man first, thinker second.

But he supposed Cloud DID have a point. So cue the quick pout as he lifts a hand to his chin to think. ]

Maybe the first couple could be free? Just to get our names out there and earn some rep.

[holdshisown]

I'll keep you in mind if I am ever in need of an extra pair of hands. I hope you won't mind if I pay you in dried meat or something along that line if I do end up calling upon your services?

[spikyheaded]

[Now, where had he heard that before? The mention of that suggestion—coming from first Tifa, then Aerith, and now Zack—puts the faintest of smiles on his face. But it's gone as quickly as it arrived.]

That was mostly how it was for me back in Midgar when it started. Not everyone could scrounge up a lot of gil in the slums.

[spikyheaded]

Looks like you've got the edge over us in that department. Can't say I've done much dreamwalking to know much about it. Not so sure about Zack.

[spikyheaded]

[Too bad sarcasm doesn't carry over text.]

Zack has the tendency to be a big kid at times.
