and if i'm feeling funky i can always have the cherry gummies

[doitrockapella]

Oh? Are the red ones the best of the best?

[mercurio]

oh no you know the actual /cherry/ shaped gummies?

[doitrockapella]

...I don't; my candy game is suddenly lacking. They make ones actually shaped like cherries?

[mercurio]

yeah they're gummies! i love them a lot
guilty pleasure

[doitrockapella]

I'll have to try them sometime, and soon. Who's your supplier?

[mercurio]

it's a small store by my bro's apartment
you know the cinema? the apartment complex near it there's a store in the corner by the bus stop

[doitrockapella]

Well, I know where I'm going tomorrow. :)

Do you live with your brother? I notice you said it was his instead of yours.

[mercurio]

it's called 'turkish delight' lol i know
duygu runs it with her dad they're amazing and super nice

is it weird that we don't? i just met him almost two months ago

[doitrockapella]

Here's hoping I can manage to acquire some candy without dooming us all to an eternal winter and never Christmas.

I don't think it's that weird. (You'll have to forgive me, I have a habit of asking a lot of questions, but I realize that family matters are one of those things that are none of my business to ask about. I'm fine with taking no for an answer, if there are things you don't want to talk about.)

[mercurio]

don't take all the cherry gummies though i want some too

and i don't mind! i like talking about my brother
he's one of the best things i've got in my life

[doitrockapella]

I'll have them set some aside especially for you. My treat. :)

Is he really! Tell me about him, then. I'm an only child, so I never had the sibling experience, at all.

[mercurio]

aw thank you!

i didn't have the sibling experience until i met him so i still don't know how to go about this much
but... yeah he's really smart and amazing! he's funny too even though he pretends he isn't
he works fixing cars and he's fixing my ruined moped right now

[doitrockapella]

[...okay now in fairness there are probably a lot of people who fix cars in this city but she's still like ...wait]

Your brother is a mechanic?

[mercurio]

yeah! you need something fixed?

[doitrockapella]

Are you signing him up to help me whether he likes it or not?

[mercurio]

i'm just trying to bring business his way

[doitrockapella]

Does he know anything about motorcycles? I've been thinking of investing in one.

[mercurio]

he has one! custom made!

[doitrockapella]

Really? Did he build it himself?

[mercurio]

parts of it? i think?

[doitrockapella]

Now that's interesting. I think I would like to talk to him about it, actually, if you think he'd be willing.

[mercurio]

yeah of course! he also has retrospec so you can find him through here
cloud strife!

[doitrockapella]

Well, well, so you're Cloud's mysterious brother. What a small world.

I've heard nothing but good things about you, believe me.

[mercurio]

you know him already?
...did he say things about me?
