Popp and Angeal have shared some light slice of life downtime, want to do some horror??

Everyone loves showing off their blorbo's traumatic backstories and Popp hasn't seen tragic mad science up close at his canon point so I'm game to hit him with a dose of that and then yell about it to Angeal in person, possibly while on a patrol. It's bad timing ICly but Popp does not always make good choices.

Maybe he will even realize that Angeal's name isn't Annie?

Or to spare Angeal's dignity from being IDslurped he could get some of Popp's memories showing up in his nightmares instead! I gather child soldiers are something of a hot button for him and while Popp is not like, formally in the army, he goes into battles and gets the absolute stuffing beat out of him every single story arc.

They have also both died and had a miraculous second chance so that could be really fun to talk about in some capacity!

What sounds the most fun, or the most upsetting? The two things are very similar in DWRP...

I am all for people seeing the fucked up status of Final Fantasy VII!

now it's just up for grabs on what terrible science backstory thing you'd like Popp to see

- angeal getting the revelation from genesis that he's actually a messed up science baby, including the revelation that he can pull wings out of his back! (which could be noticeable bc of how he's hiding wings right now)

- angeal getting to deal with genesis's rapid deterioration as a product of being a 'failed' science experiment

- did you know that angeal can infect other creatures with his DNA and put them under his control? this memory could show it!

Oh boy! So many delightful(?) options!

The revelation/wings sounds like it's got the most legs because Popp's going to think of that every time he sees Angeal going around without them, he can put two and two together and he'd probably end up bugging him about it!

It would be interesting for Angeal to talk about it with someone who isn't knee deep in science/monster horrors already (beyond the default of everyone here being dragonized).

alright, wing time it is! angeal needs more people to know he has those, it is his biggest secret and he is a pain in the ass about it lmao

Once I start working on Angeal's top levels, I'll be sure to put something up for Popp!
