04. [video] Fortune

[When the video begins, Red's already slumped back into the pilot's seat of his airship, his weary posture and tired limbs looking like they'd already long-since given out on him. He's breathless and panting- and not even in a particularly dog-like way- while sweat somehow manages to run off of his fur. Or is that just water? It'd explain why he was in his blitzball outfit. And all those bruises.

And yet, somehow, his face is the biggest, toothiest smile most people would ever have seen from him.]


..I... did it.

[He pauses, reaching beside him to grab a hold of a metallic water bottle with an oddly familiar logo on it, and ravenously gulps from it a few times between heaving breaths before using the rest to douse himself.

A few seconds of a more familiar canine head-shaking, water-flinging dryoff later- and a quiet ugh from the offscreen moogle- he catches his breath enough to continue.]


Starting lineup. Dragons. Cloud City.

[...and then, as if he suddenly remembered he was actually broadcasting this--]

Uh-- I'm Red. I play Blitzball. For the Cloud City Dragons. It's a great sport. Come watch me sometime. ...cause I just got promoted!!

[He manages a fistbump for a few seconds before his fist quivers, and with a weak groan his arm soon goes limp. Yup. That muscle was probably pulled.]

...So yeah. Tryin' to think of how I should celebrate. Any ideas?

...Y'know, after I get some rest.

No, it's eaten raw. Usually accompanied by rice and other things, if you are an omnivore.

I've eaten raw seafood all my life. It isn't.

[She doesn't sound mad; S'reee knows food preferences don't always transfer across cultures, let alone species]

But there are cooked seafood dishes. Some of the maki have cooked fish or shrimp instead of raw. Maki are fish and plants humans eat wrapped in seaweed and rice.

[S'reee never really learned what things like 'cucumbers' and 'avocados' were beyond 'plants humans eat'.]

That's a shame. But all the more reason to enjoy having an ocean here.
