(lark, rufus, all the turks, reeve and sephiroth are in the ramble room)
Reno: "Where are all the other girls?"
Lark: "I think they went to the movies."
Reno: *frowns* "That sucks."
Lark: "Where are all the FF8 people?"
Rufus: "Who cares? They're not important."
Lark: "Okay....then where are all the playable characters?"
Rufus: "Who cares about them either. They suck anyway."
Sephiroth: "Damn straight!"
Reeve: "Well....I'm a playable character....indirectly."
Lark: "Oh no. You're cool. Cait Sith sucks. Never say that again."
Reeve: *meekly* "Okay."
Rufus: "I know! Since we're all in Shinra here, except for Lark, let's have a meeting!"
Sephiroth: "I'm not in Shinra anymore!"
Rufus: "Shut up! Does anyone have an order of business?"
Tseng: *pushing elena off him* "Can't she sit next to Rude or something?"
Elena: "Hey!"
Rufus: "I really don't care. Anything else?"
Reeve: "You know, Rufus, you and I are the only executives here."
Lark: "The other executives suck."
Rufus: "Thank you, Lark."
Reno: "I propose that every Friday is dress down day!"
Rude: *mutters* "You dress down every day."
Tseng: "He's right. You don't even wear your uniform correctly!"
Reno: "So what?"
Rufus: "I'm ignoring your proposal."
Reno: "Can it at least be beer day?"
Rufus: "NO!"
Reno: "Shesh. Fine." *pouts*
Rufus: "You all suck! I want new employees!"
Sephiroth: "I don't even work for you! I never did!"
Rufus: "Shut up, Sephiroth!"
Lark: "Can I work for you?"
The Turks: "Nani?!"
Sephiroth: "Speak english!"
The Turks: "What?!"
Lark: *giggles* "I want to work for Shinra! I could be a Turk too!"
Reno: "Are you out of your mind?"
Tseng: "It's a horrible job!"
Elena: "Hey! Turks rock!"
Rufus: "Elena's right, Lark. Being a Turk is a great job!"
(the guy turks shake their heads frantically)
Reeve: "You don't want to work for him, Lark. He's a slave driver. You're better off becoming one with the planet with Sephiroth or something."
Sephiroth: *eyes light up* "Yeah!" *pause* "Wait....was that an insult?"
Lark: "I think it would be cool. Besides, I love Rufus!" *hugs rufus*
Rufus: "You're hired!"
Guy Turks: *sigh*
Rude: "We tried to warn you..."
Reno: *takes out a flask and takes a sip from it* "Don't say we didn't try to warn you."
Tseng: *mutters* "At least *she* won't be hanging off me..."
Elena: "Don't worry, Lark! Being a Turk is great!"
Rufus: "Come on, Sephiroth! What do you say? You wanna be a Turk too?"
Rude: "Um...."
Reno: "No!"
Tseng: "Come on! I don't want to work with him!"
Sephiroth: *glares* "I hate you, Rufus."
Tseng: "Join the club."
Rufus: "Now, now, Tseng. Don't get bitter just because *you* hate your job. Someone else might enjoy it."
Tseng: "You *sold* us!"
Rufus: "Yeah! My mall is doing great by the way."
Lark: "Come on, Sephy-sama. Be a Turk with me. Please?" *bat eyelashes*
Sephiroth: *sighs* "I said I'd work for Rufus over my dead bleeding body....but....why not? I can always take it down from the inside out, right?"
Reeve: "That's what I'm doing!"
Rufus: "That's the spirit!" *pause* "Wait..."
Lark: "So what time do we have to show up tomorrow?"
Rufus: "9 A.M. And don't be late!"
Lark: *grins as she salutes* "Yes, sir!"
Sephiroth: *mutters*
"I think I'm out of my mind...."
Shell: "Lark always said the Sci-fi channel just had crap on, but I like it!"
(michelle enters with jackie)
Michelle: "Where's Reno?"
Shell: "He and Rude had to go to work, remember?"
Michelle: "Oh yeah."
Jackie: "Well where are Lark and Sephiroth then?"
Michelle: "I don't think I *want* to know."
Shell: "They went to work too."
Jackie: "Nani?!"
Michelle: "Lark got a job?! *Lark*?! Are we talking about the same Lark here?"
Shell: *nods* "Yup. She and Sephiroth are both working for Shinra now."
Jackie: "Sephiroth's working for Shinra?!"
Shell: *blinks* "You're not surprised Lark is?"
Jackie: *shrugs* "Not really."
Michelle: "But Sephiroth!? What is the world coming too?!"
Shell: *giggles* "Like father like son!"
Michelle and Jackie:
*shudder* "Ew....."
Sephiroth: "I hate these uniforms."
Lark: "I think they're cool!"
Elena: "I like them too!"
Lark: "You know, Elena, you and I get along really well."
Elena: "Yeah, we do!"
Tseng: *mutters* "Oh good god."
Sephiroth: "I want sunglasses. Like Rude."
Lark: "You want to be like Rude?"
Sephiroth: "No! He sucks! I just want the sunglasses!"
Rude: *sighs unhappily*
Elena: "Um...where's Reno?"
Tseng: "The better question is do I *want* to know where he is."
Rude: "He better come soon, or he'll get his ass kicked."
Sephiroth: "I'd love to see that!"
Lark: "Hey, don't I get a weapon?"
Tseng: "Better take it up with Rufus."
Sephiroth: "Why don't you use your whip?" *grins*
Lark: *grins* "Oh yeah!" *takes it out* "I can use this!"
Sephiroth: "Boy can you ever."
Lark: "Hm? Did you say something, Sephy?"
Sephiroth: "No...."
(reno runs in, out of breath)
Reno: "Yo, man, you couldn't believe what happened to me."
Tseng: *sighs* "I bet I could."
Reno: "No, man. I couldn't find my goggles! I looked everywhere, and I just couldn't find them!"
Tseng: "That's the worst excuse you've had yet."
Reno: "I'm serious! Know where they finally were?"
Tseng: *sighs* "Where?"
Reno: "Under my pillow! I don't know how the hell they got there!"
Elena: "Shut your trap and get in line, Reno. They're gonna start the meeting soon!"
Rufus: "This meeting of Shinra Inc. is now called to order. We have two new members to the Turks."
Heidegger: "Why wasn't I informed?"
Rufus: "Because I hate you. Please welcome Lark and Sephiroth."
Hojo: "Sephiroth! Son! Glad to see you're back!"
Sephiroth: *twitches* "Can I have permission to kill him? Please? I'll get rid of the evidence."
Rufus: "Good to ask first, but no. Not today."
Heidegger: "Gya haa haa! Lark's a Turk! Now it looks like Scarlet isn't the only skanky ho' in Shinra!"
Lark: *screams* "Ack!!! Rufus!!! He compared me to Scarlet!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rufus: *glares at heidegger* "Sephiroth?"
Sephiroth: "Yes, sir?"
Rufus: "Take him outside and beat him please."
Sephiroth: *rubs his hands together* "My pleasure." *grabs heidegger by the collar and drags him outside*
Heidegger: "Gya haa crap!"
(they leave)
Scarlet: "Rufus, honey, I don't think it's a good idea to have another girl Turk."
Rufus: "Shut up, Scarlet. And don't call me honey."
Palmer: "What about the space program?"
Rufus: *rolls his eyes* *sarcastically* "Yeah....I'll be getting right on it."
Palmer: "Hooray! Finally!"
Scarlet: "He was being sarcastic, ass."
Palmer: *hangs head* "Oh."
Heidegger: *from outside* "Gya haa ow!"
Sephiroth: *evil laughter* "Mwha haa haa! I love this job!"
Hojo: "I certainly things are going to get a little more interesting here."
Reeve: "Shut up."
Lark: "You tell him, Reeve!"
Scarlet: "Rufus, your new Turk is talking whenever she feels like it."
Rufus: "She can do that, Scarlet. Shut up."
Lark: "Ha ha!"
Scarlet: *frowns*
Heidegger: *from outside* "Gya haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...." *thump*
Sephiroth: *entering* *brushing off his hands* "All taken care of."
Rufus: "Good job."
Hojo: "I always knew you were a winner, Sephiroth!"
Sephiroth: *twitch* "Make him stop talking to me."
Rufus: "Shut up, Hojo."
Sephiroth: *grins*
"I think I'm gonna like it here."
Vincent: "Shell....have you seen my angel? I mean Sephiroth? He's not in the ramble room complaining or threatning as usual."
Shell: "He's at work."
Vincent: "Hm?"
Shell: "He and Lark are working for Shinra now."
Vincent: "THEY'RE WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Shell: *turns around* *shocked* "Vincent! You *yelled*! You never yell!"
Vincent: "I have to stop them!"
Shell: "Good luck."
Vincent: "I must be off." *exits*
Shell: "Ooh! Wonder
Woman's on!! Cool!!"
Lark: "We're not doing anything...."
Tseng: "We have no missions."
Sephiroth: "Well, can't you make one up?"
Tseng: "No......"
Lark: "This sucks. I'm going to go complain."
Sephiroth: "Are you going to use the whip?"
Lark: "No!" *she leaves*
Tseng: *picks up his phs*
Reno: "Who are you calling?"
Tseng: "Reeve."
Everyone else: *groan*
Sephiroth: "Why don't you do something useful like order me some sunglasses."
Rude: "You can have my spare pair, if you want."
Sephiroth: "I don't want something you touched!"
Rude: *hangs his head* "Oh..."
Reno: *pulls out
his flask* "Man, this is gonna be a loooooooooooooong day."
Lark: *goes into his office* "Oh, Ru-sama!"
Rufus: *reading dictator weekly* "Hmm?" *puts it down* "Is there a problem?"
Lark: "Yeah.... There's nothing to do. All we're doing is sitting around."
Rufus: "...........your point being?"
Lark: "Shouldn't we be doing *something*?"
Rufus: *blinks* "Are you telling me you're getting paid to do *nothing* and this is *bothering* you?"
Lark: "Basically, yes."
Rufus: *shakes head* "I don't get it."
Lark: "Whatcha readin'?" *picks up magazine*
Rufus: *sweat drops* "Nothing much. Eh heh."
Lark: "Dictator Weekly?"
Rufus: "Um....it was just lying around. Picked it up.... I think it's Reeve's."
Lark: *flipping through it* "This looks interesting."
Rufus: "Nani?"
Lark: "Mind if I borrow this?"
Rufus: *surprised* "You wanna borrow it?"
Lark: "Yeah! This is great stuff!"
Rufus: *sweat drops* "Um...yeah, sure. Just remember that I'm the one who was nice enough to lend it to you! Even though it's not mine. It's Reeve's. He acts all sweet and innocent, but he's a crazed maniac. I would watch out for him if I were you. He's got an army of those Cait Sith things waiting to take over the world!!"
Lark: *engrossed
in the magazine, heads for the door* "Right. Thanks."
Tseng: "Yeah, I know, Reeve............... Yeah, it's really boring around here. There are a lot of things I'd rather be doing.......... Like what?" *sweat drops* "Um.....heh heh. You know.....stuff...."
Reno: *takes a sip* "Being a Turk still fun, Elena?"
Elena: "Shut up, Reno."
Rude: "..............."
Sephiroth: *mutters* "I want sunglasses. Where's Lark? This sucks. SOLDIER was better."
Reno: "It is not!"
Sephiroth: "Is too!"
Elena: "Is not! Turks rock!"
Tseng: *covering the mouthpiece* "Do you mind?! I'm on the phone!"
Elena, Reno, Sephiroth: *mutter* "Sorry, boss."
Tseng: *going back to the phone* "Sorry about that Reeve. Now, forget me. Let's talk about you..."
(lark is walks in, reading the magazine)
Sephiroth: "Lark! You're back!"
Lark: *reading* "Uh-huh...."
Reno: *spits out what he was drinking* "Are you reading Rufus' magazine?!"
Lark: *looks up* "Huh? This? Oh, yeah."
Tseng: *covering the mouthpiece* "Oh no! Not Dictator Weekly! He didn't try to give you that crap about how it's Reeve's, did he."
Lark: *laughs* "Actually, yes."
Tseng: *goes back to the phone* "Yeah, Rufus is trying to convince everyone you're evil."
Lark: *turns to elena* "Is he talking to Reeve?"
Elena: *annoyed sigh* "What else is new?"
Rude: "................."
Reno: "Don't read that magazine! You'll get scary! Like him!"
Lark: *giggles* "Who me? Scary?" *pause* "Maybe...."
Sephiroth: *takes it from her* "Let me see this."
Lark: "Hey! I was reading that!" *tries to grab it back*
Reno: "Don't let him read that! He's already nuts and power crazed!" *gets up and tries to grab it away*
Lark: "You'll rip it!"
Sephiroth: "Let me see it!"
Lark and Reno: "No!"
(lark and reno on one side, seph on the other they both pull with all their might til the magazine rips)
Lark: "Oh no! Sephiroth!!"
Sephiroth: "Why are you blaming me?! You should have just let me read it!"
Reno: "It's better off in pieces." *sips from his flask and sits again*
Tseng: *covers mouthpiece* "I can't hear Reeve!"
Elena: "Watch us all care!"
Tseng: "Elena...."
Elena: "Sorry..."
Lark: "What am I going to tell Rufus now?"
Rude: "......blame it on Scarlet."
Lark: *shrugs* "Works for me."
(the door opens and vincent comes in, looking frantic)
Vincent: "Angel! There you are!"
Reno: *snickers*
Sephiroth: *hand to his head* "Vincent....do you have to embarass me at work now too?"
Lark: "Vincent! Do you want to come back and work for Shinra too?"
Vincent: "Absolutely not! I came to save you! Shinra is evil!"
Sephiroth: *still holding the remnants of dictator weekly* "Well *duh*."
Vincent: *grabs the magazine* "Give me that."
Tseng: *annoyed sigh* "Every time I try to talk on the phone...."
Vincent: "Sephiroth, I want you to quit."
Sephiroth: *shrugs* "All right. It's boring here anyway."
Vincent: *in lecturing mode* "Sephiroth, if you don't quit--" *pause* "Oh wait. You did. Good."
Reno: "Whoo hoo! Sephiroth quit!!"
Sephiroth: "How about you, Lark?"
Lark: "Nah, I
think I'll be happy here." *smiles*
Rufus: "I can't believe you quit, Sephiroth. You're a quiter. A big quiter."
Sephiroth: "Shut up. Your company sucks."
Rufus: "Now I'm back a Turk."
Michelle: "Ooh!! I'll be a Turk!"
Reno: "No, Michelle!"
Rufus: "You're hired."
Michelle: "Hooray!"
Reno: *sighs* "Oh, man."
Rufus: "By the way, has anyone seen my new issue of Dictator Weekly?" *pause* "I mean Reeve's issue. It's his subscription. I just....uh....like the advertisements." *pause* "Right."
Reeve: *sighs* "Yeah. Right."
Sephiroth: "No idea...."
Lark: "Nope. None at all."
Rufus: *mutters* "Fine. Then I'll just have to buy the back issue."
The End
