[Tidus is out by the water on the Curti Center island, as he usually is. There's a sunglasses-wearing moogle, Zunne, sunning on the beach behind him. But for anyone who knows Tidus, it might seem more odd that his eyes, usually bright blue, are now red.]

Hey guys, me again. I hope everybody's doing okay after that trip---and if you've run into any chocobo eaters, rest up. They're really tough!

Anyway, I've just been thinking. Does something about this place seem off to anyone else? I don't really know how to explain it, I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help but wonder why we're really here. It's just...I see these little things everywhere that are familiar, but they aren't? And I have to wonder if something big's lurking out there that we should know about?

Maybe I'm just homesick. Or hungry, that could be it.

[Distantly, from the Moogle's direction: 'How astute.' Tidus mumbles and ducks his head.]

All right, he's right. That's enough. If anybody's still up for blitz practice, I'll see you tomorrow!

I mean there's plenty that seems off, but this place isn't anything like back home for me. Probably depends where you came from.

Why we're here is a good question though.

Huh. I wonder if that makes it easier or harder...or if there's some reason why we all ended up floating out there, why it was us and not some other group. Maybe it's just random, but...I don't know, doesn't feel that way.

Not a bad question either.

The problem is it's gonna be pretty hard to investigate all on its own.

[ Unless they were able to find some obvious common thread between the whole group, it'd be really difficult to find the selection criteria until they found out why they were here, or who (or what) was doing the selecting. ]

Yeah. We've probably gotta sit and wait, and train, I guess, because it's probably gonna get worse?

[ Whoa hey now back up just one sec ]

Uhhhhhh who said anything about waiting?

Just because those exact questions are hard to investigate doesn't mean there are others that aren't.

Ha, you're right. Though there's a lot of ground to cover. Maybe we should coordinate with anyone else who's looking, so we don't all trip over each other?

[ better ]

I mean, some of us've been doing that a little but I guess it couldn't hurt to try to do something bigger and more organized.

[ So long as she's not the one in charge, tbh. ]

Yeah! I'm not really the go-to guy for that stuff, but I can try. This whole thing's eating at me like nothing else.
