National Training Center.

Most of you are young. Most of you aren’t in the military. But also a few of you, my earlier followers, knew when I was almost explicitly NOT active or even remotely online during January. Its about to happen again.

Its military training to where I have almost no electronic access after the first few days, till the 10th I think. Even so my phone can only be used during 8pm-12am Eastern Time.

Data sucks out there, so Skype will be rare and occasional and I have a mess to deal with. SO please dont’ think that I’m lazy or stuff. I know some of you will unfollow anyway but I’ll be back. If you want my number/skype/ some way of communication just Ask me within the next two days.

I have a 36 hour bus ride starting tomorrow at around 9 so that’s the 36 hours of nothing to do but chat and sleep X3. I hope to see you all soon.

Alright, I just had my first encounter with these things and I need to spread the word because this shit is bananas.
These are quickly replacing the standard drink fountain in fast-food chains and for good reason: You can get 100+ choices on what to drink from one of these things. Want your vanilla coke? You got your vanilla coke. You want strawberry sprite? Fuck yeah you can have that!
This is all touchscreen - You select the base drink you want, and then select from a subcategory of flavours which you can add. Then, you just push the button that says “push” and out comes your delicious goodness. Fuck yeah.
This has been an announcement.

Schlotzsky’s in my town has this.

See these in Five Guys a lot. They’re pretty awesome.

callmevanille:

“Ya are handsome, that doesn’t even begin ta describe ya.” Grinning as her emerald eyes focused on his blue ones. “Yes, nervous and excited, all at once.” Glancing over at the spot where his bag lay along with her book, she looked back at him. Laying on her back, “Not too worried.”

She looked up at the sky, it was clear. This made her happy, she didn’t want anything to ruin this day. Her green eyes looked back into his, making her blush lightly.

“Oh…OH. I’m handsome am I? Can’t compare with a beautiful face and adorable personality however so I’m still at a loss compared to you.” Cloud laughed, not at anything but himself for being so cheesy. He watched her motions and demeanor, sitting up as she lay down.

“Still. You say that like I’m some sort of wild animal ready to pounce on you.” Cloud shifted over to a tree that was a bit closer to her, leaning against it while just watching the water absent minded. “Unless of course that’s what you were expecting Vanille.” A small chuckle sounded from his lips. He moved his back against the tree to scratch a few places before closing his eyes and leaning further into the tree.

badass-barmaid:

Having him so close to her like this was like heaven on Gaia. Ironic, considering the name of her bar. She could feel his breath against her neck, which made her blushing continue as she struggled to keep her heartbeat in check. “I don’t care,” she said matter-of-fact, shaking her head a little. “I’m so happy you said it at all.”

Unfortunately, when he spoke again, she frowned. It was true that they needed to open the bar and prepare for customers. But the barmaid was overwhelmed with emotion. She just learned that the man she had loved for as long as she could remember returned the feelings. How could she possibly just go to work and act normal after something like that?

“Ah…m-maybe not…” Tifa mused softly, pulling back to look at Cloud with hopeful eyes. “You just got back, and I could use a break…” She sucked in her lower lip, suddenly shy of suggesting what she was thinking. “I can close the bar for the night…it wouldn’t be a big deal…” Deep down, Tifa was more terrified than anything that if she let go of him now, if she went behind that bar and resumed her usual duty, that this would disappear and Cloud would go back to how he was. 

She wanted to spend time with him, to explore what this was now growing between them. 

His fingers instinctively gripped her hand when she held him. Cloud smiled as he heard the light whine in her voice, the pout to her lips making the woman absolutely adorable. “You’re sure? But your ever loyal patrons are always waiting for you to open.” He turned to face her, tilting his head to look further into her eyes. It was curious, how she reacted.

Then again it was curious for Cloud to admit what he had been hiding for so long. He relied on her more than he realized, and rather than break her heart like he had for so long he simply nodded towards her. “If you want. You ARE the owner after all. I’ll ask though, what are we to do in the free time Tifa?” He stood there, somewhat awkwardly as she so desperately clung to his hand. Its not that he minded it, he just was so distant for so long that the thought of being so close scared and confused the young man.

“I guess we could always go somewhere…or we can even stay here. And do…something…”

bladedrose:

The roseate raised a brow when Cloud stopped, though herrself not once halting for the male, and went on about his little crack at her being a Sergeant. A slight smirk did cross her lips though, one almost unnoticeable if you weren’t exactly looking for it. That was it, she now knew she was dealing with an odd-ball, and wasn’t entirely sure how to deal with it.

Heh.. Very original name, if you ask me.” She responded, her voice sounding rather snarky at how un-creative some people were. Lightning’s brows would furrow a minute later, upon hearing how the spiky haired male had been subjected to experimentation, and Etro knows what else. A small spark of interest illuminated her azure eyes however. Zack. There was that name again.. And she was slowly piecing together why he was so important to Cloud - especially that strange sword of his.

She still hadn’t spoken up since then, but rather, was trying to understand exactly what he meant. Inherited his genetic memory? It only caused many things to surface in her mind, most of which were questions on how that could even be possible. A shattering roar of thunder snapped her out of her trance-like state, and it dawned on her that it was now pouring rain - the heavy kind. Each drop that hit the skin of her face stung a little, causing her to frown and quicken her pace to catch up with Cloud - a hand hovering above her eyes, to shield from the storm.

“—Tch.. This is just great.” She nearly shouted, as her words were being drowned out by the pouring rain around them. Thankfully shelter wasn’t too far off in the distance, and the thought of finally resting and getting dried the only things now on her mind. Blue orbs, darkened by the lack of light from the dark grey clouds, turned to focus on the male before her. “—Hey, how longer do you think it’ll take to get there in this, Clou—”

Lightning’s word were cut off, as another mighty boom of thunder filled the silence. A fire exploded in her side instantly, and she could barely contain a pained gasp as her left hand grasped at her right side. Fingers felt around the punctured fabric, the warm sensation against her fingertips making her uneasy. She lifted her hand to her face, barely managing to see the red get washed off from the rain drops. The ex-soldier barely had time to react the second time, the sound of gunfire hitting her ears before another bout of pain ripped through her thigh - the force knocking her backwards off her feet. She hit the muddied earth with a thud, and grit her teeth while muttering curses. Lightning struggled to sit up, eyes extremely alert, but failing to see what had attacked her because of the dense rain.

”..Dammit…” Words were hissed, as hands clutched at her injuries, causing eyes to screw shut from the immense jolt of searing pain. She didn’t know what had happened, what was out there, or even where Cloud had disappeared to. Lightning could only wonder if he had been hit too, or worse.

There was only the peaceful chaos of falling rain and thundering electricity across the plain. There wasn’t the sound of his voice, nor footsteps that could be heard over the trampling rain, though gloved hands would run over her body and lift her head. Cloud was inspecting her, those soft blue eyes harsh now, a certain bloodlust in them. Those lips might have mouthed “I’ll protect you, just rest” though one couldn’t be sure. In those seconds he had torn a part of his sash and used a nearby stick to tourniquet her leg.

It appeared they were followed by several more ShinRa security bots, and unfortunately took the element of surprise. As Cloud would rise, a barrier spell would emanate from his hands, and rounds as well as the raindrops would deflect off of a translucent field of pure energy around Lightning. Cloud’s body would begin to glow as he walked into the rain, his eyes becoming silver as physical manifestation of his sword aura would flow from his skin. “I’m reaching…My Limit.” Cloud however did not draw the buster sword, instead split stepping around in instantaneous speed using his fists. Each strike peeling away steel and armor with ease, and he finished the last group of bots in seconds.

Cloud’s body glow dissipated and he made his way back to Lightning, picking her up with ease, cradling her while taking care not to place hands on her wounds. Making sure they had everything he started to run with her. His demeanor was different from before, the serious face not leaving even as he got to the Sector 5 Gate with her. There would be tons of debris and a dirty looking area until a small church would come into sight. Grumbling to himself momentarily he walked towards it as the storm wasn’t getting any closer to its end. He’d enter the mostly torn apart church, the hole in the roof allowing the rain to water the flowers right under it. A beautiful sight to be sure in the day, but now it was as dreary as the outside. Cloud took her into one of the additional rooms he had made recently before setting her down on the ground. Entering auto pilot the young man would first remove most of her upper clothing to get to the gunshot on her side, as well as to remove the drenched clothing. Both rounds went straight through her, a clean entry wound with a nasty exit.

“Open your mouth, bite on this… Elixers might taste good but they don’t feel good. Don’t have time for you to digest the healing.” He handed her a weaved cylinder of leather, placing it in her mouth as he readied a vial of green liquid. The normal warmth of a healing spell or potion was instead the burning and piercing feeling of pouring alcohol on a papercut. Not once, but twice as he had to pour the other half on the leg wound.

A rather traumatic experience to be sure, as usually healing would be done at an accelerated rate anyhow, it would simply restore the wound itself. Being poured directly into the wound however caused the liquid to sheer off all of the damaged and hurt organic material instantly while rebuilding new flesh. With no actual restoration to do, the wounded skin muscle and flesh would actually bubble out until the healing was complete. Even Cloud’s face cringed in disgust as he wiped of the refuse. Satisfied with her being mostly cleaned up, he proceeded to wipe up any mess around and retrieved a set of warm clothing. It was his own, but he knew it was better than nothing.

“I’ll take care of these real quick…if you’re still awake. Rest okay?” A soft smile returned to his features as he left the room to tend to her wet clothing.
