Three Final Fantasy characters walk into a bar

WHO: Squall, Seifer, Cloud, ??
WHAT: Trying out weapons
WHERE: Workshop outside the city
WHEN: Sep 3
WARNINGS: Fight! Potentially blood and injury

Holding a gunblade in his hand again, even if it's just blade without the gun, is exhilarating. Doesn't matter what else Squall doubts about his own future, he won't give this up anytime soon. Plus, it's great stress relief from the hellish invasion of memories just weeks ago.

There's a lot of things making this fun. One, he's never fought alongside Seifer before. Two, Cloud is... remarkably powerful, way beyond what his stature and figure would indicate. Three, the prototype gunblade is a great teaser to what Seifer is going to eventually make.

He falls back to stay out of range of Cloud's buster sword (how is he even wielding that so easily?), eyes flicking over to Seifer to see what he's doing. It's strange having to flip his thoughts from how to counter Seifer's attacks to how to complement it, but all those years of fighting each other is working in their favor now.

He runs in to swipe at an opening from the other side. He's precision and skill even without the trigger component. It's clear he's treating the sparring session like a real battle. Seifer's taught him that much.

do we want to fade the combat here since we have another?

[Fighting is far better than debating over a situation out of either of their hands. Nida's problems are his to face when they're self made like this. His insecurities aren't something Cloud nor Seifer have control over. If he wants to get drunk and start fights, he's going to have to deal with the consequences.

For now, at least, Seifer's glad he didn't have to lose a friend over Nida making an ass out of himself.

Cloud didn't exactly give him much in the way of specifications to work with, so Seifer built it how he could imagine it. Further adjustments could be made in the future if necessary. He considered for a moment lunging in now... then reconsidered.]


Training area.

[If they're going to do this he's not risking his forge getting damaged.]
