Re: Dining room (AKA Livingroom)
"On our world...dead usually does mean dead." Zack shrugged. "Why we aren't, well, I don't know. The Planet is alive, though most people don't realize it. SOLDIERs have a better idea than most. We carry part of it around in our veins."
He pulled one hand off Aeris to gesture at his eyes. "You mentioned the pupils, but the glow is what I'm talking about. The Lifestream, where all the dead go to be reborn? Shin-Ra, the company me, Seph, and Spike worked for takes it and turns it into Mako, an energy source. SOLDIERs have Mako injected into their veins. That's what makes us as enhanced as we are. Speed, strength, the like."
Zack grinned. "I know Cloud was demonstrating to your friend Quistis earlier. I think she amused him with the look she gave him when he punched a tree over."
Studying Squall for a moment, Zack shook his head. "We definitely don't need that here. Yet another reason to keep the nesting summons out of our heads. I can dodge bullets, and Seph is even better than I am. Can you imagine if we lost it?" Making a face, Zack gave a wry grin. "Massive boom time."
Zack went back to massaging Aeris's shoulders. "So what kind of background info are you looking for?"
