You have gained 39XP...(From Cloud)

[Trash]

Aaron and Cloud stand face to face, muscles tense, the atmosphere in the room reaching a boiling point. Their faces contort in mutual dislike and their eyes dart around the room trying to predict the other's next move...

And then, the atmosphere of the room gets hit in the nutsack as Trash *swings* in with an uncharacreristic smile on his face. He walks between Cloud and Holiday, as if the two were really frozen in time.

Trash : "Hey guys! What'cha doin? Oh hey Cloud, haven't seen you for a long time? Hanging out with RedXIII again? He's one sexy cat! Aaron! Come on man, look presentable for our returning guest! I know you're not into the whole suit and tie thing but at least dont stand there in an old t-shirt that looks like you just threw up on it! I mean come on...this is Cloudstrife! CLOUD..."

Almost in unison, Cloud and Holiday snap back, not taking their eyes off one another,

Cloud : "Shut...

Holiday : Up!!!"

Trash smiles, swinging around Cloud, touching the tip of his sword.

Trash : "Alright, Alright, I'm not one to be a sour party pooper...thats a nice sword Cloud, I've always wanted one..."

Cloud snaps back, hitting Trash with the side of the sword and sending the Sanity Assassin sliding backwards across the floor, a smile still hanging languidly on his face.

Meanwhile!

Allyson : "Has Trash gone MAD?"

Simon : "Well if you've been paying attention between your salon appointments, Trash has been acting like this ever since coming back from that suspension...and I dont think its a good idea!"

Allyson : "Especially not if he's gonna get in between Cloud and Holiday!"

Simon : "Yeah, thats like getting between you and a cheeseburger!"

Back in the hallway, Cloud turns his attention back to Holiday. Trash, sitting up on the floor from the sword shot begins to giggle at the duo, inviting more punishment.

Trash : "Hey, hey Cloud, did that gain you some XP? Did ya level up?"

DEFINETELY not a good idea...
