Author's Notes for this story: I joined FF100, which means that I have to write 100 short stories on Reeve. I ended up using some I've already written, and I have intentions of taking several themes as chapters of a larger story. So everything else goes into this compilation called 'Blue Prints of Life'. Each chapter has a loose theme tied to it. Some are AU, some are just drabbles. Some are interrelated, some are different completely. Just experience the Reeve-ness

Author's Notes for this chapter: VERY post game. Reeve is also sharing some of my own frustration with symbolism being forced onto things and shoved down the throats of high school and college students.

Theme: Yellow

Megaphone

Okay, it's time to clear up a little confusion in the history books. Historians have always said I chose a megaphone for Cait Sith because of many reasons having to do with symbolism and that stuff. Newsflash… It was for a far simpler reason than that symbolism shit. Hell, I failed any tests in English Lit that focused to heavy on the symbolism. How is a tree supposed to symbolize corruption anyway? Well, back to the point, never believe any of that shit the textbooks spew kids. Fact is, it was convenient damnit!

While I never really controlled Cait when he was monitoring things in his travel, I did directly monitor battles. That alone was the reason for the megaphone. I needed Cait to have a method of drawing my attention so that I could supervise him during battle and to do so without drawing suspicion. The loud shouts amplified through megaphone and delivered via a radio receiver in my ear was not only deafening, but a sure way to get me back to my controls.

The problem was getting this item with material in it. I actually had to go to Scarlet to get them custom made and strategically placed. (Oh God, don't remind me of the horrible things I had to do to get this favor.)

Oh, there is ONE thing true in the textbooks though. I DID keep one of the megaphones for my own use in my office to get the attention of people when they were rambling (I'm talking about Reno and Elena of course. They did some work for me when I headed up the WRO). The thing that wasn't true was the idea that I kept the yellow and pink ones. Just because Cait liked them didn't mean that I did…
