Edge, Saturday Afternoon

[raspberryturk]

It was a good thing that Bat Eyes were so damn easy to take down, Reno mused, as he wiped some bloody monster sludge off of his baton and onto his pant leg. Things had been busy in Edge over the past few days. A few monsters had wandered into the outskirts of the town out of the ruins of what used to be the Midgar slums, and they were having their hungry ways with the locals.

Which suited Reno just fine. He got the pleasure of being hired on by the WRO in order to take care of the threat while they continued working on setting up their military, and on top of the pay that they were giving him to deal with the job, he got to keep whatever the monsters dropped when he took them down, too. Mostly ethers and bubblegum money, but he could live with that.

He finished rummaging through what was left of the corpse of the last one as it faded away to join the lifestream, or whatever it was that dead monsters did, and then he took a seat on the nearest bench, sprawling out, looking up at the bluish-gray haze of sky above him, pulling out his phone, and turning it on.

Sometimes, rebuilding wasn't really so bad after all.

"That is a possibility," Leto admitted. He remembered the children, after all, none of them very likely to happen.

"Either way, if Arthur sets him up to play third in the reserve, you found a good guy," Reno decided. "He's... optimistic."

To a fault.

"Fandom needs that kinda thing, sometimes."

[future_sandworm]

"He is." There was no denying that. "And I guess we do." And hopefully Zack would keep Arthur distracted enough not become overly annoying.

[raspberryturk]

Either that, or they would both become equal parts annoying, and then all would be lost.

"You figure you got it covered, Leto?"

[future_sandworm]

"I think so, yes." In case of emergency he would call Reno for advice or just to bitch.

[raspberryturk]

Reno was always up for being bitched at. It kept things interesting!

And gave him fuel for gossip!

"Well, call me anytime if you need me, Leto. Especially if you're havin' troubles with Arthur bein', you know. Arthur."

[future_sandworm]

"I believe your advice could be useful at times."

Read: I will need someone to bitch at.

"I will call you back later, Reno."

[raspberryturk]

"Talk to you then, Leto." Reno grinned a little. "Take care of yourself, man."

[future_sandworm]

"You too. Goodbye, Reno."

He managed to hit the right button to hang up.
