Aur the SOLDIER (sorta)

Um. Aur, of Dreigiau/Shimmer/Darkstar/Wayrift fame (though for the last two he’s called Chase), as a SOLDIER from Final Fantasy VII. I know Aywren doesn’t particularly care for FFVII, as she’s one of those who thinks the last great FF game was VI. But my brother loves FFVII: Crisis Core, and wanted to play a game based on it. So I was the player, he was the gamemaster, and I randomly picked to play as Aur because I think Aur is cool and it meant I didn’t have to think up a brand new person and I didn’t have to play as one of my pre-existing characters, which would have made him groan in exasperation. And while we were playing I drew a picture.
Aur the SOLDIER was a young, taciturn, 3rd-class SOLDIER in training for Shin-Ra. After stopping a traitor Turk from sabotaging a reactor, he went to Wutai in a helicopter to investigate who was behind the traitor.
He never made it. Shot down by hidden guns in the middle of nowhere, his grunt soldiers all killed in the crash, he approached a small cottage only to find it was a hidden stronghold of the enemy. He is about to venture down to the lower levels of this secret military research facility…
The funniest part would be this exchange.
Aur’s Phone: *ring ring*
Aur: Aur here.
Aur’s Overseer: So you’ve captured the traitor? Good. Bring him back to Dennis, the 1st-class SOLDIER in your area.
Aur: Understood. *hangs up*
Aur’s Phone: *ring ring*
Aur’s Overseer: Don’t ever hang up on me before I’m done again. And talk to Dennis for further instructions.
Aur: … |: (
Last night I dreeeeaaaaaamed… that I saw winged cats in the kitchen. They were cute.
There was also a bit wherin I was registranting for Organist again – except that his music was something like one line (three staves still, of course) with whole notes and half notes and quarter notes in large print. … Anyway, he played it successfully : P and then we sang the Kyrie from Mozart’s Requiem and there was suddenly a large choir with us.
Then I went outside and there was someone playing flute so I took off my coat and my (organ! : O ) shoes and danced in the rain until I fell down and hurt myself. Then Organist came back and we talked about Liszt.
This was all in the dream. No kidding. If Organist had really been around here we would probably have sung Duruflé’s Kyrie. Either of them. Both of them. Whatever.
Organ crawl today! …I WAS going to say something else but I forgot it. Well, I could tell you that it’s pretty cool to listen to your own playing through a microphone. And I’ve started memorizing the Franck. And Flairé and Kellan adventured muchly in Guild Wars last night instead of doing Latin/French homework (respectively).
Oh well. Latin homework is easy.
Oh! I remember! I am planning to put up a couple screenshots from Guild Wars soon. This evening, perhaps.
