Hihi! ive taken up writing letters as a hobby on the side, and it’s got me wondering:
How do you think agszc would approach letter writing? This can be a very broad question :) as im sure some of them write back home / write to eachother during wutai, but i’m specifically curious whether any of them but genesis bother with any of the fancy stuff. (wax seals and custom stamps, the specific stationery paper + envelope sets, the nice fancy fountain pens, etc…)
hope ur having a good night alto! its been a while :)
Hey! Always great to hear from you 😊
Sephiroth is needlessly formal about all forms of letter writing. His penmanship is absolutely flawless and he always uses the most professional wording possible, even if he's just sending a letter all the way to the frontlines of Wutai to basically tell Genesis to shut up. He has his own personalized wax signature since he's mister big fancy corporate hero man.
Intimidated, jealous, and a little excited at this, Genesis makes it his mission in life to outdo him. Fancy red ink, flowery language, and the parchment always seems to smell like perfume. He always over emphasizes his name in the signature, so much so that it's practically BLEEDING ink from being so emboldened. Angeal points out that he could always send an email or a text. Genesis tells him to be quiet.
Angeal writes basic letters like a normal functioning human being. He likes collecting stamps on occasion and categorizes him based on the level of importance each letter holds. No flowery or formal language here! "Dear Genesis, please don't throw the cadets off the side of the ravine for fun. Love, Angeal"
Zack's writing is borderline incompressible, with messy scrawl that clusters all over the paper to the point where it's hard to make out what he's even saying. But don't worry, he provided visuals. Doodles as far as the eye can see. And about eight different stamps since he isn't sure if he's doing this right.
Cloud's penmanship is surprisingly very impressively neat. He didn't even notice until Sephiroth leaned over his shoulder while he was writing home and commented about it. Cloud had a heart attack, of course. Cloud makes a full attempt to try to help Zack improve his writing, but gives up after Zack determines that the only way to fix it is if he adds more stickers.
