[Tifa doesn't respond to Zell until after curfew, once she's finished talking to Steve. It's left her feeling better, and there's still hope of finding Cloud. Or at least, that's what she's telling herself to keep going. She'll respond with video, too, hoping she doesn't look too tired. Unfortunately, the exhaustion is pretty plain on her face, and her voice is more strained than it would be normally.
Talking to Zell is a great distraction in any case, one that she desperately needs right now.]
Hi, Zell. We're... Well...
[She was going to lie and say fine, but maybe he knows Cloud, too.]
I'm looking for my friend, Cloud. Have you heard from him?
[Her voice goes up just a bit on that last sentence, and she can't quite keep the anxiety out of her voice.]
[There is recognition when she says Cloud, but it's not because of knowing him.] My friend is looking for him, too. He gave me a description in case I ran into him, but I haven't come across anyone. I'll let you know if I find anything. Promise.
[He really wishes he could have had good news to share with her. :<]
His name is Jim and he usually travels with Kain and Zack. He seems really down about it... [Rubbing the back of his neck. He gets being down about losing people.] Where are you searching? I'm by the convenience store heading West.
[That makes sense. They've all been pretty miserable.]
That's who I'm with right now. We're in one of the houses to the west of the convenience store, too. I think we're... going to stick around here. Just in case.
Hey, we're pretty close then. [He couldn't help, but give a smile at that. Zack, Kain, Tifa, AND Jim were pretty high up on cool people on the cool people list for Zell.]
I'm going to keep heading West. Going to check out the park that's in the North West corner of the map.

oooh I get hearts!
Thanks, Zell. That would really mean a lot.
[Someone else is looking for Cloud, too? She can't imagine who it would be.]
Who's your friend?
yes \o/

senpai noticed me
Why? What's in the park?
so lucky
[Excellent topic to share with someone who just lost a friend.]
no subject
I think someone mentioned that to me when I first arrived.
[The graves, at least, and the unsettling effect they have on people.]
Be careful, all right?
no subject
[Giving a confident smile!]
I'll keep you updated if you want.

[She really doesn't want anyone else getting into trouble, even if she barely knows him.]
And if you get into trouble, let me know, okay?
