"Oh c'mon," Cid says grinning, "let's give it a try."
He's holding the gravity materia up to his captive audience, nice and inviting.
The group is silent.
"Too chicken?"
Nothing.
"I bet if we all cast at the same time..."
Everyone's faces are dubious. "How?" AVALANCHE's expressions seem to say. "We only have the one gravity materia." Well, they're not being creative enough.
"Demi, barrier, and haste -- what's not clicking? It'll be great."
Finally, Cloud shakes his head. "It's not like Sephiroth will be impressed by you swooping at him. He can actually fly."
Ugh. "You're no fun," Cid says.

"It's breathtaking, isn't it?"
"'Breathtaking' doesn't cut it. Fuck. I forgot how much I missed this. You can't see nothing of sky, let alone the stars beneath the plate."
"You can't see them above it, either. The smog chokes them out."
"...Marlene prolly can't ever remember seein' 'em herself. It's..."
"It's sickening, isn't it?"

This week's prompt is #146 - Hope

Hope for peace, hope for a change, hope for 100 words.

What laundry service gets the stains of thirty years of dirty deeds out of Hojo's lab coat?

As children we love our toys. As adults we love different toys.
Did Rude have a moogle doll? Does Kadaj wish he had one? Does Cloud still play with that windup chocobo or has he traded up for his big boy toy - his motorbike? Is Reno's EMR as good as a baseball bat or is it better than that? Is Tifa shopping for a little intimate gift for her boy-toy? Has Yuffie traded marbles for materia? Has Tseng decided that it is time Rufus traded in the swing-set for a love swing? Does Genesis still have that glow-in-the-dark lightsaber?

This week's prompt is #136 - Alternate Universe
Put the characters smack dab on a different world! Who would they be if they ended up as desert nomads? How about in a casino in Las Vegas? Or stuck in a spaceship, lived at the circus, were underground cave dwellers?
Give them special powers to get rid of all that materia stuff! Is Genesis a telepathic? Is Sephiroth a Turk? Are any of them superheroes? What if Reeve was robotic and Cait Sith built him to be a butler? Suppose the women were the members of SOLDIER - would Scarlet be akin to Sephiroth? Would Cloud be tending the bar while Tifa saves the world?
Remember that there's a fine line between AU and crossover - for the purposes of this prompt, let's say that putting the characters into another world is okay as long as a) in your drabble, they've always been there (i.e. no dimensional portals or the like) and b) they don't meet any characters from any other universe.
This week, take reality and shift it to the left, give it a vigorous shake of the imagination and see what alternate universe you can come up with for the characters! But remember to write it in just 100 words.
