Label: VIRGO ENTERTAINMENT
Band: NUCLEAR PARLIAMENT
Instrument: KEYS/BACKUP
Fame Lvl: 1 (Power Lvl + Fortune Lvl)
Current MP: 16
Short Description:► Outrageous hair, outrageous smoulder. Muscular, but unpleasantly thin, all stretch marks and sinew. Face is an odd mix of androgynously handsome and awkwardly intimidating - strong, pointed cheekbones and chin, and large, arresting blue eyes with a slightly mad look in them. Carries himself so tall you might not notice how short he is. Demeanour flamboyant, flashy and cartoonishly aloof, but very much a performance.
Fame-hungry, perfectionistic, talented and clever; does 'a little bit of everything'. He's using his band as a springboard to a solo career, which makes it infuriating that he's stuck in the back row. He used to be a member of the rock band S★O★L★D★I★E★R and he will never let anyone forget it.
Of course 'Cloud Strife' is a stage name, no-one's ever been called anything that ridiculous. (His real name is Clarence Strauss.) Don't ask him about his mental health history.
Fashion style - mostly stylish basics, perhaps a little on the military end, with quiet punk quirks and rather heavy, faintly Medieval jewellery. Clearly puts a lot of effort into looking good but doesn't want to upstage his own hair.
CURRENT PHYSICAL STATUS - Healthy.
Regains So Far:►
His eyes are a brighter blue than is natural, and glow faintly (only really noticeable in the dark or if you're looking for it).► A red-light-district in a surreal city - he went into a room with a girl but had a violent hallucination of himself
► being nervous, meeting a girl at a well
► a foggy memory of a beautiful, terrifying man tearing apart a doll to find his Mother
► He was never any good at being 'Cloud'.
► He took his eyes off Yuffie and she stole his money.

Re: [Text]

[Text]
ur cute when ur flustered
accordion. srsly?????
what is it with these new band peeps not getting the rockstars dont wake up before noon rule?????? ter has the same problem with his drummer
ive been okay
we stole a guitarist >B3
no subject
thing is, it's like... he's not new. he's been here way longer than me. and I guess he's been making music for about as long? I don't see how he could get signed otherwise.
and everyone here finds it charming. it's like we're all playing out the illusion of being in those old band movies where we're all psychedelic friends who live in the same house and get in scrapes with policemen. I don't know how longer I can take this for.
when I was in SOLDIER we had a strict 'no music between midnight and 1PM' rule, but that was because our frontman preferred cocaine to sleep and that whole thing ended about as well as you'd expect. so maybe it's for the best.
what's his name? the guitarist, I mean
no subject
its more like a reality show if you ask me 'how long till these people kill each other' i mean the carnies do great but xan and me and luci get along real well and we picked fetch and poe were together cause we want to be ya know???? we werent tossed together by the label
FFFFFFFFF downfall of all great music. someone got drugged out.:/// but whatcha gonna do
poe dameron hes pretty cool fetch knew him so me luci xan and fetch crashed his old band and took him off the stage
hes pretty cool i like him so far
no subject
I don't care about my bandmates and I don't think they care about me. there's even a member who's the spitting image of me already, just in case it wasn't already clear we were all a bunch of interchangeable haircuts. and I like plastic pop, but just looking at him freaks me out.
don't feel bad. he's still getting paid for ideas I came up with and taking all the credit. his nose can fall off for all I care.
as a kid I used to pick fights with people and then write songs about how much I hated them, so it was kind of nostalgic.
[There's a link to a Youtube playlist here, of a fan who's uploaded the tracks to a whole album by Cloud, the one he did immediately after leaving S★O★L★D★I★E★R several years ago. The whole thing is peppy guitar-led bedroom pop, with witty and sardonic lyrics about how Cloud is going to forgive him and let him do what he likes because he doesn't care any more, really, even though he wrote a whole album about it.]
paranoid thought: if it's a reality show, who's watching?
no subject
and that is why we steal our own musicians i dont want another xanxus running around i love the guys but holy fuck. they went and found you a twin i dont want to know what happens if we find him one
think hes like a clone or something????
[Things Yuffie is later going to kick herself for.
Also Yuffie does pause to actually listen to stuff and she spends literally the entire time grinning and has no real idea why.]
you know, you and i should throw something together sometime. could be lots of fun. i know luci and the doctor did a while back.
i dunno but hopefully we have good enough ratings to not get cancelled?????
no subject
but it is strange. it's as if we were both drawn by the same artist, if that makes any sense.
it made me rememb
do you remember being that age? I hated it.
we should! definitely. but we'd need some neutral ground, and I don't know what my bandmates will think of it...... could we disguise it as something else? what's something you've always wanted to try?
also, I'm not unprofessional enough to start beef with those guys yet. so I guess I'll have to come up with a different idea for a topic.
if this is a reality show, don't evict me. :)
Text/After GQ
hey there
[ Oh gawd. How lame can she get. ]
up to anything fun??
[ Even lamer. Wow. Trying again. ]
sry i was out of touch its been a weird couple days
Re: Text/After GQ
It's a couple of hours later when he suddenly thinks - maybe she does.]
same.
Yuffie, are you alright?
[He hopes that's vague enough.]
I did something stupid that I can't talk about. then I did something else that was stupid. can we talk in person?
[No! Too obvious!]
Sorry, I'm not very good at asking girls out. (^^;)
[Better. Hopefully she'll be able to read into the uncharacteristic typing style, and know it's not the real Cloud talking.]
How about a play?
because I keep thinking about that concept album and I think the character is a very personal one for me.
the world feels like a terrifyingly big place all of a sudden.
[AND THAT'S ALL HE'S GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT. HURRY, PICK UP THE PHONE.]
no subject
[ Yuffie is a little confused at first, and she pauses, worried and half terrified because Cloud did something stupid. What the hell did he do? She knows that he's kind of a pain, but he's always...
He's always getting into trouble. Right. Okay. ]
Oooo! A play sounds like fun!
[ Yuffie's typing style changes too, being accurate and formal for once in hopes that he'll understand that she's getting it. ]
We could go for drinks and a show? I bet the guards will even be good and let us have some alone time in the box if we ask nice ;3
[Yuffie is stuck sort of staring at her phone after she's sent it. Because by all things holy she really hopes that he gets it because otherwise she's just leveled up in lame and she is never going to live it down. ]
no subject
He's pretty certain he's right, but -
Right. He opens a browser and starts going through the booking sites for the theatre, the playhouse, opera house, student playhouse, outdoor theatre company - no, no, it needs to be somewhere secluded, but also anonymous, and with boxes. That leaves only one option that wasn't fully booked that night - hopefully Yuffie's into serialist electroacoustic opera about dragons.]
Ao Guang. Grand Opera House, doors 19:30, Box FF. Booking code: KM-VX83
no refunds accepted and I can't spend as much as usual, so if you aren't into it, tough luck.
no subject
It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. They can do this.]
Well if they story is too boring I guess I we will just have to come up with a better one, wont we?
Don't you worry, Spiky. It'll be fun.
[The moment after she sends that she just sits there blinking at her phone for a moment.
Wait. Are there dress codes at an Opera?
Fuck.]
no subject
[He's completely lost track on how she's typing. He's lost track on how he's typing. Is this sincere? Is all of it? Is any of it? He still feels too drained to think about it.]
just one question. you don't happen to know what we're supposed to wear to these things?
no subject
[ At that, Yuffie laughs outloud. It's somehow a little better. To know it's not just her. ]
were rockstars. im betting we can get away with whatever we want.
[She hopes. Or this is going to be interesting.]
no subject
[He says, bringing everything down.]
but it's worth a shot.
no subject
dress codes are not the biggest problem ive dealt with.
no subject
still, I think: just concentrate on looking good and the rest will follow.
