Re: I Sense a Disturbance in the Force
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.

I think it depends on context. When using Official Letterhead~ and dealing with complaints I think he'd use rank, but if he's asking Zack where he hid the raspberry jam or telling Cloud the best times to sneak into the chocobo stables without getting caught, just 'Sephiroth.' Unless we're gonna get kinky here. Mmmm.

His not having a canon last name is damn annoying sometimes.
