Challenge: [297] The Masks We Wear
Title: Flaws In Design
Word Count: 100 exactly
Notes: No spoilers beyond KH1, though some very general references to FF7 and FF8. The problem Cid rants about here has always bothered me. Also, profanity. Because, well, Cid.


“It ain’t right, making a kid do that.” Cid rarely raised his voice to Aerith, but he was furious, pacing as he vented his frustration.
“You know how screwed up Cloud and Leon are already. Now imagine if someone told them they had to do everything with a perky attitude. Sora’s in for just as bad and you know it.” Cid paused and ran a hand through his hair, finally exploding with an irritation clearly reserved for ill-advised concepts in spacecraft. “I mean, who the fuck designs a ship for use in emergencies, so that it runs on happy faces?!”

It always seemed to me to be the kind of thing that might be true in the Disney universe.

Doesn't stop it from being an idiotic design feature for an emergency vehicle. "It's not a bug, it's a feature"?

Oh, I agree on both points. It's terribly plausible, especially for a ship that came straight from Disney Castle, Smiling's Central Station. :D

>.<

You realize now I'm thinking that's why they crashed into Deep Jungle? That it wasn't them fighting over the wheel, it was them fighting and reaching some kind of critical level of unhappy faces that killed the stupid engine.

YES. That's always been my take on it.

Such a spectacularly bad idea.
