We entered Junon and immediately broke into the house at the entrance to the
city for a rest break.
I thought we were in a hurry.
"Yes Mother," I said. "Don't
forget though. We're also incredibly lazy and don't really care what
happens to Shin-Ra."
Oh. I'm ordering a pizza then. If you
need me, I'll be on the toilet playing video games and eating Cheetos until the
pizza arrives. I love being lazy.
Mother raced off to the bathroom but found that
Tifa had already beaten her to it.
Hey! No fair! I was gonna play!
I'm Sub-Zero! Come on! I'll play you two-player. You can be
Johnny Cage.
"Tseng you suck," Rude said. Tseng
gave him the finger.
"What's wrong?" Aeris asked. "Why
or what does Tseng suck?"
"Dude, you can't tell?" Reno joined in.
"Tseng pissed Tifa off and made her all self-conscious about her
boobies. You didn't notice that she's been sulking all the way here?"
"Way to go dude," Rude said to Tseng. "Way
to piss off the hottest girl in the world."
Aeris started fondling herself, trying to give her
chest an extra push up. Nobody noticed except myself and Dyne who started mimicking
her.
Sephy!
Even though I rarely drop what I'm doing to see
what Mother wants, I badly wanted away from this conversation. I know how
quickly conversations like that can turn into the 'Blame Sephiroth Game.'
Hello everybody and welcome to the Blame Sephiroth
Game. I'm your host Bob Thomplersin. I'd like to introduce my first
contestant. She's blonde, she's dumb, she's hot, and she's a porn
star. Everybody give a warm welcome to Flower Sunshine.
"Is there a reason I came over here?" I
asked Mother.
Oh yeah. Sorry. I was thinking about
this new game show I'm gonna host.
"What about Bob?"
Bob? Oh. Right. That's the name
I'm gonna use when I host. A lot of Bob's host game shows, and I don't
wanna break the trend.
"So why did I come over here?"
To see my new trick. I learned it just
now. Watch.
Mother started straining really hard until a
greenish cloud came out of the earlike hole in the side of her head.
"What the hell was that?"
That was a brain fart. A literal brain
fart. I learned how to fart actual information out of my brain!
"Sounds like a good talent to have. So
what information did you lose?"
Oh. I dunno. Something about the
locations of seven different fires I set in Midgar before we left. Don't
worry. I've also learned the reverse brain fart. Watch.
The cloud that was hovering disgustingly next to
her suddenly went back into the hole in her head.
"That's so damn gross," I said.
"No way man," Marlene yelled running
excitedly into the room. "That is so freaking cool! Lemme
try."
"No way Marlene," Barret said following her
into the room. "I forbid it. Da las' time you tried somethin'
like that you crapped yo' self. I ain't gonna help clean it up if you
do."
"Geez Niggapapa. I won't crap myself.
Besides, I'm wearing a dress and no undershorts. No mess for me."
Barret and I pondered this for a bit. When we
realized what she was talking about, Barret picked her up and carried her over
to a bathroom, opened the door, threw her in, closed the door, and propped a
chair against the knob.
The room was now mostly silent except for Mother's
brain fart noise. It sounded like, well, a fart. I took this opportunity
to call Rufus to find out about Mother's fires.
"What's that?" Rufus said on the phone.
"I can barely hear you over all the sirens. It was weird. There
were like, eight fires that just erupted in the city a little while ago. Fire trucks
are everywhere."
I hung up.
He was wrong you know. There were seven.
"Thanks Mother," I said. "I'd hate
for Rufus to be wrong."
Mother? Me? I'm your mother? Who
is this man? Security!
She sucked in her recent brain fart and went on
like nothing happened.
Nothing did happen.
"Mother, stop saying halfway intelligent
things."
You got it! No more smarts for me ever agains!
"I think I believe you," I said.
Did you know that Sonic is the fastest thing
alive? And get this! He's a hedgehog! Isn't it awesome!?
Oh my god! It's on! Where's a TV!?
"We should get moving before Mother realizes
that Sonic has been cancelled for years now," I said. We all agreed
and headed out the door and toward the giant employee entrance to the city.
Sephy?
"Mother?"
Why is the only entrance to the actual city of Junon
an employee entrance?
"Mother!"
Oh. Sorry. What I meant was Sonic is the
fastest thing alive and I have no intelligence whatsoever.
"That's what I thought you said."
We gave the guard 10 gil and headed up the service
elevator to the real city of Junon full of hookers, fat guys, and crack
addicts. I couldn't tell which part of Junon was the slums, this part or
the part we were just in.
"Okay guys," Elena said. "We're
gonna be in the view of the public, so wear your Mideelean shirts and take lots
of pictures. We Turks are gonna lay low in some of these buildings."
"Yeah, and I gotta replenish my stash," Rude
said.
"Dude!" Elena said, then paused to check her
own dialogue. "I mean Rude! You're supposed to talk in
code!"
"Oh right. I mean, I need to get back my
assortment of random powders and injectable goodies in that low class
establishment over yonder."
"Yeah," Reno said, "and I'm going
drinking."
Elena sighed and dragged the two Turks away by the
ears.
Smile!
Mother snapped a picture of us all standing around,
then pulled walked over to a giant map of Junon which was behind a thick sheet
of plastic.
Let's see. We are here (I know this because it
says so) and the pretzel stand is over there, so if I want a pretzel, I need to
be there, so... Ah ha! I got it.
Mother drew a 'T' in front of the word here.
Hey! Where's my pretzel!?
