FF7 || PG || Sephiroth, Zack || <90 words

Last Christmas' postcard fic for chofi . <3

Knowing Zack forgets to check his mail if it doesn't arrive as a text message, Sephiroth just sends it to Cloud instead.

jukeboxhound : i need a calligraphy/handwriting style for sephiroth. genesis is easy and i've got angeal and aeris, but sephiroth isn't cooperating. not sure if i want to do the classy script or more obviously-trained-in-a-lab print.

jukeboxhound : script would be nice, but.

jukeboxhound : thoughts?

chofi : Well, there's a good argument for having doctor-ese, since you'd need to write things down quickly for notes, but you tend to associate print with mechanical and impersonal things. Depends on how old-school you want Sephiroth to be. With OG!Sephiroth, I'd say print. With CC!Sephiroth, he'd probably have some sort of personality to it.

chofi : Maybe something like Getty-Dubay where some letters are linked, and others not?

jukeboxhound : hmm. i'd been looking at this one earlier.

jukeboxhound : WHERE IS MY BRA GDI

jukeboxhound : oh hey nm

chofi : Under your pillow?

jukeboxhound : tossed haphazardly over the foot of the bed, actually.

chofi : Ah.

chofi : I think that's pretty good for CC!Sephiroth. Probably after Genesis has beaten it into his head that one's writing must express ~*~personality~*~. He'd probably just go "Fine. Italic." and then that's that.

jukeboxhound : this is my new headcanon.

jukeboxhound : i was eyeing Scriptina for genesis.

chofi : And since the style of "Z's" is the same, this implies that there is some sort of unified curriculum.*

chofi : Also, oh, God, those flourishes.

jukeboxhound : [...] AND YES, FLOURISHES. this is ~personality~ and ~sophistication~

chofi : Zack: Angeal, why is there all this curly shit around this note?
Angeal: Oh. You got something from Genesis.

jukeboxhound : lol irl

jukeboxhound : XD

jukeboxhound : zack: and why does it smell like the inside of a macy's - ?
angeal: there are some questions that should never be answered.

chofi : HE READ THE TALE OF GENJI/THE PILLOWBOOK OF SEI SHONAGON/INSERT OTHER HEIAN WORK HERE AND IT MOVED HIM. MOVED.

chofi : (Will now have Genesis with various colored inks and papers and scents, as headcanon.)

jukeboxhound : do they correspond to his artistic periods?

jukeboxhound : zack: oi, i thought regulation said everything has to be in black ink.
angeal: genesis is in his blue period.

chofi : Well, with Heian note-passing, you have to select an ink color/paper/scent combo that is appropriate to the message and to the season.

jukeboxhound : i was not aware of this tradition.

chofi : I think he'd attempt something like that, and mourn when the ignorant plebes don't understand it at all. Why is his life pain?

jukeboxhound : goddamnit don't make me laugh when i have tea and medication in my mouth.
