Classrooms Around Campus, All Day Saturday

It was Saturday, and that meant Career Day! Unbeknownst to all the students who had taken the career placement test, Fandom had apparently conspired to place them all in workshops that didn't quite fit the answers they gave for their tests. The island was tricky that way. Not to mention that the workshops that the island had planned were somewhat different from the workshops an ordinary school might offer on Career Day. As in quite a lot different.

So the classrooms all around the school were filled with visitors from off-island and island alike, all of whom had been led to believe that they would be teaching eager-minded groups of students, excited to learn about their prospective care
ers. This assumption was not necessarily accurate.

"Yeah," Reno agreed, smiling a little. See? Rude totally got it. Damn, Reno missed having him around all the time. "Somethin' like that, zoto."

"Yeah." And Rude missed having Reno around. Junon would feel more like home with Reno there. Any place would.

"It's not the same." Junon. Midgar. The Turks. Life. None of it was.

"End of the world a few times'll do that," Reno sighed. "Man, we blew it good over the years, didn't we?"

Them, the Turks, ShinRa, take your pick, Rude.

"It's a living," Rude told him.

They were Turks. They did what they were asked to do, because no one else would. Even if they knew the orders were a bad idea. Even if the person giving the orders was crazy. That's what Turks did.

They did the job.

"It ain't, no more."

They did the job, even if it meant that there wouldn't be a job left to do, somewhere down the road.

That was what Turks did, too.

"No, it's not."

And the Turks barely existed anymore. And Rude didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. Helping Tseng run errands for the WRO was nice, but it wasn't the same.

Damn, he needed a drink.

Wasn't it awesome, how Reno could damn near read Rude's mind?

"New bar opened in town last night," he noted, pursing his lips thoughtfully. "Less likely to have kids crawlin' all through it, yo. They card."

Which was wild and crazy, after so many years with only Caritas. But it meant that if they headed that way, they wouldn't have to worry so much about the words coming out of their mouth.

"Sounds good. I've got a presentation to make soon, anyway."

"Right," Reno replied, right back to laughing again. "Strife delivery, yo. knock 'em dead, Rude. Do it good enough, Cloud might quit that, too."
