It Rains In My Heart
Reno struggled out of his chopper harness, stumbled out of the door, cursing loudly when his foot got caught on a wire. Fuck. That had hurt. He leaned against the sleek black helicopter and regarded the silent mountains and deserted village of Nibelheim with growing contempt. He didn't want to be here. Not at all. But there was nowhere else to go. And he certainly didn't need to be at Shinra right now. What he had done before was bad enough, but stealing the helicopter and running all the way out here like a scared little girl, was...well... He was probably jobless right now.
He started the hike up to the Shinra mansion, wincing every time he put his left foot down. If he remembered correctly, Vincent Valentine had took up here after the issue with the Sephiroth remnants was over. Was still here, he hoped. Flying around until he ran out of gas was not something Reno planned to do again in the near future.
When he had finally reached the front door, Reno was very tired, very irritated, and his ankle hurt like a sonofabitch. He lifted the knocker and let it fall, not having the energy to knock any harder. "Valentine!" he called, "Yo, Valentine!"
No answer. Shit. Reno felt something cold and wet drop onto his cheek. Rain. Bigger shit. Very soon the light mist had turned into a downpour, like icy strings hung from the sky. He tried the door and found it locked, and wasted the last of his energy knocking and shouting himself hoarse. Exhausted, the red-haired Turk sat down as far as he could under the eaves, though he was already soaked to the bone. Reno found suddenly that it felt very good to curl up as tightly as he could, to make himself feel small. He sniffed pitifully, scared for perhaps the first time in his life. It took a while, but he fell asleep, cold, wet, and shivering.

It was meant to be a roleplay intro.
For those of you who are waiting for the next Nesting chapter... um... it's not finished yet.
I'm sorry. I've been really busy. T.T
I also don't want to hear any complaining because of my non-will to write this myself.

P.S. If you're interested in roleplaying this (PLEASE?), my e-mail is listed on my profile.
I highly value good grammar, okay spelling, and paste-tense. :)
