I'd be more than happy to help with the armor and such, which are pretty much the only time-consuming bits of Cloud, aside from the wig. If you'd like to do someone else from FF7, you can, but I really would have liked you as my Cloud.

Well, KKM is a second priority to me now - Sephiroth is my senior project. And Cloud has been done often, but not well. What else are you _doing_?

I see. Are we still doing Crowley and Aziraphale at all, or do your plans with Chris override those, too?

I've always been under the impression that wings aren't terribly expensive, just time-consuming. I'd like to do big wings, and yeah, I'd still like to do Crowley. It's kind of pointless by myself, though.

And to be honest, I'm a bit hurt that your plans with Chris suddenly take precedence over your plans with me.

Well, regardless, the fact that you've suddenly dropped almost all your other plans to do that does hurt, a lot. _That's_ why I feel replaced. Because your plans with Chris, regardless of how long you've been planning it, have suddenly overriden plans _we've_ had.

Tatsumi doesn't really have a part, and you hate him anyway - it has never been 'my' plan. And you've _still_ basically dropped all our cosplay plans for the last one or two cons I'll be going to with you for a while.

That I'm not more a part of that group than Chris is, really. Particularly in spirit.

Looking down my list...FF7, Zelda, Bookworld Yami, KKM, Shadow Hearts, FMA, the Turks, the Wonderland CCS group, and I think you had at least two different sets of Sailor Moon plans which are on another list somewhere else.

...Well, you gave off the distinct impression that you were doing Devil's Trill, and that was your cosplay plan for AB. Which means none of those are getting done while I'm still here.

And I think Mara's sentiment is more that she doesn't want to be around you if you're going to secretly hate it and/or pretend nothing ever happened. Which, to be honest, you haven't shown any inclination of not doing, at least as far as I can see. Having hung around with two people who are secretly glowering at each other isn't an enjoyable experience for _anyone_ - I've been there.

I offered to if you wanted me, and said as much. And by 'not particularly intriguing' I mean the ratio of interesting plot to really stupid gameplay (I maintain 'brute force' is not a valid boss-strategy any RPG should have) was such that if you had wanted it back, I wouldn't have been OMGdestroyed to mail it back to you. If you don't want it, then I'll probably start playing it again eventually when I'm bored enough to deal with really stupid boss fights, which is where I'm stuck. Which is more than I can say for KotOR, or MGS, or Goldeneye.
