[ So there's a redhead on screen, and he's sitting outside, clearly. It's a nice, sunny day. There are clouds overhead. He looks like he's maybe sitting against something. From the color and texture, and the greenery around him, it looks like he's just casually sitting under a tree.

Why is Reno out near the wood's edge? Mind your business. ]

So, you guys hear that?

[ He lowers the camera so the viewers get a vague view of his be-goggled forehead, a bushel of red hair, and a whole lot of tree canopy overhead. Nothing else is happening, except, after a few moments, there it is:

a faint 'DICKS!!'.

There are a few more replies of 'DICKS!!' echoing from various directions. ]

Anyone wanna tell me why the woods're screamin' about dicks?

I mean--shit. Me too, buddy. But I don't go yellin' about it, yo.

[He's barking with laughter on his side.]

I'm just grilling you, man.

I know you're all talk but when it comes down to it you've got your priorities straight. Or at least I hope you do.

As for the birds yelling dick, that might have been partly my fault. They mimic people. So trying to find them might have gotten out of hand. With Cloud.

[general_affairs]

You're good slick. Cmon, you know I'm gonna give it back. ;)

Depends on who you ask, so maybe just ask Rude about my priorities. I still badger Bossman about going to Evan's birthday parties.

What, you yelled dick and made blondie listen to a chorus of birds yell it back? Hilarious, but not that bad.

[activatingcombatmode]

No, even better.

I made Cloud yell Dicks as loud as he could.

[general_affairs]

LMAO no wonder he got pissy about it .

They grow up so fast.

[activatingcombatmode]

I thought it was pretty fun. Cloud didn't think so.

But when else am I gonna get the chance to see him do something like that?

[general_affairs]

Truly a legend. Thanks for taking one for the team yo.

Listen, he got way too smug while strutting around that resort in a dress. We both know he's laughing about it even if he wants to be all pouty and broody on the outside.

[activatingcombatmode]

You're welcome. I work here every day.

Hope you're right! He's still giving me a bit of a cold shoulder but I'm hoping he'll warm up soon.

[general_affairs]

Aw, don't sweat it, I'm sure he will. If not we can drag him out to do something fun anyway.

[activatingcombatmode]

We should drag him out either way.

[But he sure hopes Cloud forgives him quickly because he'll probably just perish into dust if Cloud gives him the cold shoulder for long-]

[general_affairs]

What kinda outing are we talking here? Bar crawl night out, karaoke night out, or cat cafe day out?

There's also a secret fourth option me and Rude like to get up to, but SOME people call us adrenaline junkies, so your mileage may vary.

[activatingcombatmode]

Knowing that this is a "stop being mad at me" mission for Cloud?

The cat cafe.

[general_affairs]

Speak for yourself, I've already taken my lumps.

I'll shoot him a call and voluntell him he's comin out with us. But if it's a literal cat cafe were gonna have to be careful they don't hire him as one of the cats instead.

[activatingcombatmode]

I mean, if he seriously doesn't want to go, don't push it.

[Zack wants Cloud to forgive him for being a cheeky ass, not shove him into something he doesn't want to do.]

Let me know what he says, though.

[general_affairs]

Don't worry, lemme work my magic big guy. It'll be fine, I'm not gonna MAKE him make him. But I am gonna make him. A little. Bribery's a strong suit of mine.

[ But he does tend to have to strongarm Cloud. The guy just isn't gonna get out of his own head THAT easily. Besides, he's here to be the scapegoat if it goes south! ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Alright, man! I'll leave that part up to you.
