trace of nostalgia [video]

[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!

That's a good question too. I wonder if we'll ever get the answer to that. I hope so.

Underwater sport? Like holding your breath? Oh man.

What if you can't swim?

[zanarkandian]

Yeah, that's the idea! And swimming's kind of a requirement for playing, but where I come from most people learn to swim pretty early. We were a city over a huge ocean.

But if you can't, there's always plenty of room in the stands.

[chocobosnap]

Yeah that sounds more likely, ha.

I'm from the city. I didn't get to see the water until we left not that long ago on our trip. You're lucky, the water is really nice.

Man, I can't imagine living without the ocean for that long. Was it a good trip, or...something more serious?

Text

[chocobosnap]

It was supposed to be, but it turned into something serious. I don't know about living on the ocean though, it sounds nice.

Text

[zanarkandian]

Yeah, I definitely get that.

Want to give it a shot? There are a lot of seaside towns here with cheap enough housing.

Oh I don't know. I'm pretty sure we'll live together so I have to ask my friends what they want to do.

But you know, I think Noct wouldn't mind, we just have to talk everyone else into it.

Awesome! Let me know what they think.
