Another day in Esthar, and most likely another day of giving orders to Alec, Xu, and Nida. Quistis sat up and stretched her arms. The cool breeze felt delightfully refreshing after a long, hot, and soothing shower accompanied by a catnap. The city was almost fully rebuilt, and the invasions on Otchka's part were being quite sucsessfully repaired.

She booted up the compuer and started up another pot of coffee. In the bathroom Nida's unusually loud music could be heard, and Quistis thought of telling him to turn it down but decided on letting him prolong his relaxation in the wonderfully serene lavatory.

One time a thing occured to me what's real and what's for sale blew a kiss and tried to take it home.

It isn't you it isn't me, search for things that you can't see going blind out of reach, somewhere in the vaseline.

Alec came back from his daily trip to the other apartment on the other side of Esthar. SeeDs were all over the city, and were gathering information almost as fast as the events were taking place.

Two times and it has rendered me punch drunk and without bail, think I'll be safer all alone.

"Hey Quistis, great news," Alec declared, while sipping off a large soda with the words "Mr. Fresh" on it, "We just recieved new orders. We're to withdraw in seven hours, it's only 11:00A.M., and we have a gigantic spending budget left, why don't we go to that restaurante with the really good noodles there, uh, Helena's."

"Although they do have exemplary noodles I'm pretty sure the only reason you're suggesting we eat at the said restaurante is so you can flirt with Helena. Alec, you should really date women your own age, she's almost forty, and you're barley twentey."

"In the immortal words of Squall Leonhart.."

"Whatever", they quoted in unison.

Flies in the vasoline we are, sometimes it blows my mind, keep getting stuck here all the time.

"Alright just let me update the report and we'll go."

It isn't you it isn't me, search for things that you can't see going blind out of reach, somewhere in the vaseline.

You see the look and you see the lies.

You eat the lies and you will...

Flies in the vasoline we are, sometimes it blows my mind, keep getting stuck here all the time.

It isn't you it isn't me, search for things that you can't see going blind out of reach, somewhere in the vaseline.

Nida finished his showere and returned to find that he didn't have to make the trip to the shopping mall, where he was sure to have to exersice stealth in an almost cartoonish level.

"Nice." Nida commented, "And she has she has the cutest little girl with her. Snow was her name, I believe."

There Alec, I finally got to the part I wanted to put you in hope I wrote you write. The song Nida was playing was Vaseline from Stone Temple Pilots and doesn't belong to Kapoo (Feel the third person goodness)
