[It's 10pm why is someone texting him about sephiroth. He stares at the text for a bit.]
Sephiroth Fact #3669: he doesn't use the whole bottle every time, that's only after particularly grimy experiences.
Logistics is told otherwise.

It's awfully late at night for that kind of thing, isn't it?
And over texting of all things. It should at least rate an email.

I'm not NOW, ye
[The communicator is stated at as it begins to ring. Very, very slowly he pushes a button.]
Yes?

Yes?
[Either that kid is half asleep or he's ON SOMETHING.
Angeal continues to eye his communicator extremely dubiously.]
Are you sure you're awake enough for this kind of conversation?

You sound tired. I don't want to repeat myself. Are you sure you haven't ... I don't know, taken any sleeping medication or anything like that?
[There's a long pause on his end. SOLDIER doesn't by and large have the ability to get drunk once they were fully enhanced. Cloud, stripped of his enhancements and apparently taking advantage of that fact, is now an exception.]
Officially, no, that kind of thing would end with a trail of destruction a mile wide and is frowned upon.
[Officially. Is Cloud too unsober to read between the lines?]
Sephiroth isn't normally capable of getting drunk. None of us are. Why don't you get some sleep, and I'll try to remember everything I can that you might find interesting about Sephiroth in the meantime.

When was the last time you've been drunk, besides today?
[He sighs.]
Alright then. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, come down to the kitchens. I'll make you something that'll help with the side effects you'll be feeling and we can talk then.
['Bright and early' he knows will be 'whenever Cloud can scrape himself off the floor'.]
Do you have a friend to stay with tonight? Zack maybe?

You're right, I don't think I should. He'll be very jealous, and we can't have that.
[So who else, then? Someone needed to keep tabs on Cloud, obviously. Sephiroth might, he seemed fond of him in his own bizarre way. What about the vampire?]

Yes, you're fine, but spending your time alone while drunk is a waste of a good buzz. You should find a friend and see for yourself. Besides, I've known Zack for a long time. The only thing that would disappoint him is he wasn't invited along.
Hm, if you'd like. I didn't know you thought of me as a friend, I'm honored.
[...Except what the hell does he have on hand to keep a drunk occupied? He surveys his small room with a frown.]
Hope you like card games.

Why not? You're Zack's friend, right? N' me too, so...we should be friends too. Besides, we're uh....Buster sword...buddies. Buster buddies. Ha.
[Since when?]
I like card games. Pretty much any games. Haven't played any in...a while. But--
[He pauses and someone else says something further from the communicator. He puts it down and says something back, and a minute or so goes by where he's having some conversation. And then...more time goes by. Did he...did he forget he was in the middle of a call?
Yup. He sure did.]

[Buster swords aren't THAT common, are they? Maybe Cloud liked Zack's and decided he wanted one too.
As the silence stretches on, Angeal gives a soft, very weary sigh and picks up his communicator, typing in a different name as he heads for the door.]

It looks like you and I are paired for the month. Do you need anything? [Avalon knows they should say something else, considering they have no idea who Angeal is, but their mind is blank. After a moment of staring into the camera, no obvious expression on their face, they cut the feed.]
