The Diamond WEAPON blast, through Reno's eyes.

Title: Tarot
Characters: Reno, Rude, Tseng, Rufus
Rating: PG

This is how it starts: there's nothing.

There's Reno, and there's Rude, and there's Tseng, and there's absolute silence ringing in their ears. The city is holding their collective breath, helpless and ashamed while time and choices grind their universe to dust. The whole thing, it's so fucking brutal it hurts, and there's not a damn thing any of them can do to stop it.

This is the way the world ends: Tseng as the hierophant and Rude as the hanged man. Rufus is the emperor dethroned.

And Reno, he's the fool, watching in slow-motion heartbeats as the tower comes crashing down.

I hereby declare May the official Month o' Drabbles. The goal is one drabble (consisting of exactly 100 words) per day, starting May 1st and ending May 31st. I'm also doing this for Harry Potter. Feel free to leave me requests, and also let me know if you plan to do a bit o' drabbling, yourselves so I can stalk you.

Characters: Rude, Reno, Sephiroth

It was Reno who noticed first, falling silent mid-sentence as he openly stared at the doorway.

Rude waited a few seconds before investigating. Anything bad enough to make Reno stop talking was sure to be horrifying. Finally, when nothing exploded and no shots were fired, he slowly turned to look. Green eyes immediately darted in his direction and he physically recoiled.

"Whomever is responsible for tampering with my shampoo," Sephiroth declared as he gestured to his formerly silver hair, now electric blue, "would do well to start running."

There was a muffled squeak as Reno leapt from his chair and fled the room.
