[Finally finished with her moping, Selphie decides that in light of their invitation to the new empire, she wants to have a discussion with the entire group. She's hesitant about posting to the linkshell but this is definitely something she's put a great deal of thought into and hopes that her idea is one that everyone get can behind.]


Hey Everyone,

I've been thinking about these invitations that we've all received to go to Sen Devadatta for their upcoming festival.

It's really weird how all of a sudden they decided to open up their borders and let outsiders in and well, I don't really like this idea. Something seriously stinks about this whole thing, but we still need to go. There's still a lot about this world that we don't know and maybe meeting with this Empire might shed some light on the mysteries that we've all encountered.

With that in mind though, I think that we should pick some representatives from the group to speak on everyone's behalf. It would be beneficial to not only put an organized front together when we meet the Empress but to also show that we're capable of fully cooperating with each other. Not everyone is going to get along with the other and that's okay as long as we all share the same common goal.

We'll probably also need some people to take down information so that we can share it with those who decide not to come.

So let me know what you all think!

- Selphie

It's not a bad idea, but it's pretty hard to plan when we know almost nothing.

And I'm sure they're gonna hit us with a few surprises when we're on their turf that we know nothing about. Not necessarily bad surprises, but I'm a little nervous. Just saying.

[boomchucka]

That's true too. I probably should have started with bringing up topics for discussion.

[She really doesn't want to start another argument with people over mognet.]

And they did invite us to their big holiday event as well, which I'm looking forward to but we need to be careful and make a good impression.

[zanarkandian]

No blitzball antics. Got it.

But yeah, it wouldn't hurt if we worked out what we thought about a few topics that might come up.

[boomchucka]

Maybe ask if you could join in on a practice with the local teams? They might be down for that. Or at least letting you watch. I know your team doesn't have issue with that.

That would definitely be a good place to start. I know that some people definitely want to know if there's a way to get home. Anything else is fair game though.

[zanarkandian]

I wonder if the game's different, playing only with people from such a small area? My hometown was like that. My world was just one little sphere of a city, and there were just a few teams, one for each sector of the town.

Maybe there's stuff about the history of this world that we don't know? Might help us understand what's going on here.

[boomchucka]

I dunno how long we're gonna be there but did you wanna go watch a match some time? You can tell me more about the rules and stuff while we're at it!

If the Empire is anything like the Curti Centre when we first got here, I'm betting there's a library that we could check out.

[zanarkandian]

Definitely! On both counts. But I've gotta make sure I stay awake this time...

[boomchucka]

If you fall asleep, I'll stick your hand in a cup of warm water. That'll wake you up in a hurry.

[zanarkandian]

You wouldn't. Not with everything on the line.

[Congratulations!

You are the proud recipient of an evil sounding laugh from your friend. She's slightly more evil than she's letting on.]
