THEN ALL IS WELL! *Imperious nod*
And yeah, when you get this type of intuitive reaction it's usually good to go with it. (Besides, FF VI rawks XD) But wow, just wow...looks like Tacey will have to do some adjusting before she'll get used to this one. Achan was, like, her one beacon of normalcy in a world gone madde, so finding out that he's an artificial being and stuff is not going to improve her mood, I'd wager. Preliminary bet is that Achan's last prediction is spot-on, but I'll have to see how it turns out when I actually write it, because Achan is being all 'sowwee ;0;' and Tacey tends to go all soft about that. XD
...interesting, though, definitely interesting.
And I agree, the pointy-haired security guard is made of win, especially as a villain. <3 And hey, it's never stated that he's going for a shadow game specifically, so you could keep him around if you want. XD
