Tower sons unite?!

Okay, but I actually think these two would be potentially funny together. Wen Kexing is seen as the worst of the worst in his canon--he is one of the protagonists, but his social position is a villain to society. He was raised in a lawless outcast group so actually he's sort of given to picking at people's flaws and raw spots, and because he's from the end of the series, he's softened from trying to weaponize that toward more teasing and somewhat nurturing? It could work out for weird friendships!

TOWER BUDDY

And that sounds interesting! Sephiroth has a stone cold poker face and it takes a lot to get under his skin, but even he can be worn down with time… especially if someone is going with the teasing angle rather than being outright antagonistic lol. And it sounds like their positions are flipped; Sephiroth is lauded as a hero in his canon. I’d like to see how they get along with time and how they contrast with each other!

Does he hang around anywhere in particular in the city?

[yeshou]

lol not giving him a reaction or rolling eyes at him especially would be attractive for Wen Kexing. He has to poke and stubbornness is like his strongest trait. Poor Seph with this stupid butterfly fluttering around him just trying to get a reaction, very poorly hiding his bloodthirsty aura.

It definitely sounds flipped. Wen Kexing hates heroes and society because he was sacrificed very early in life for "order" and for those in power to gain more. Right now he's still new and going to investigate all over, probably seeing where he can insert and maybe assert himself over small criminals or the like to get some stability. Gotta establish himself as strong to survive?

[supersoldier]

HMM what do you say to Sephiroth running into him while Wen Kexing is in the middle of dealing with some petty criminals? However you might envision that panning out. OR if you think he’d involve himself in some petty crime himself, maybe Seph can get caught in the middle of it?

I’m open to any ideas you might have for a prompt though!

[yeshou]

I love that! Honestly he would totally have run-ins either fighting them if they dared to challenge him or actually doing business himself if they happened to be willing to respect a newcomer. I would love getting them tangled up in some shady dealing or just drag Seph into the middle of a conflict as an unfortunate passerby. Wen Kexing is used to intimidating minions as a crime lord so it is totally likely for him to try to bully his way over some small gang.

[sorser]

This is the wrong journal, but yesss that's great then. I was thinking of maybe Sephiroth being the unfortunate victim of a pickpocket attempt, and he gives hilariously quick chase to the guy, which might lead him back to Wen Kexing?

If you think that's something that makes sense, lmk and I can set up a starter for us c:

[yeshou]

That would totally work! If the pickpocket is younger or more desperate/maybe not so skilled, I can see Wen Kexing semi-adopting them because he tends to sympathize and pick up other criminals as his followers. Or alternatively if they are just scum he'd be the offended top predator (of the lowlifes, fff) and want to treat it as his own territory. No one grifts without his permission, but also who are you to interfere?

He's a dumb boy who just likes to argue. Please be his reluctant friend. :D

[supersoldier]

I wrote a starter for us here! lmk if it works ok!
