02. [video] Air Bud
Alright! Who else is excited for the Blitzball tourney this month?
[The backdrop of the view is a beautiful, wispy blue sky, taken from a vantage point above a patchy sea of clouds. There's a soft roar of wind in the backdrop of the entire broadcast, and an airship's wing visible on the deck behind him-- not that any of it distracts Red from taking center stage with a toothy grin and a blitzball spinning on his finger. One has to wonder how long he had to practice that before he turned on the camera. He's even got a towel across his shoulders and attire that makes him look ready for a dip in the water.]
Never even heard of it 'till I came here, but you gotta check it out if you haven't yet! It's like Flying Disc, only underwater-- and you can pound the heck outta the other team! Just so happens Cloud City's got its own team for it, too...
[That grin gets wider as he pops the ball off his finger and tucks it under his arm, jerking a thumb toward his chest.]
...And you're lookin' at its newest member! Introducing: Red Savarin, the newest member of the Cloud City Dragons!... reserve team. Hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? But just watch-- I'll be in the big leagues before ya know it!
(It'd help if you'd stop trying to catch it in your mouth, 'po.) (Just hold the iMog!)
[He momentarily leers at his cameramog before clearing his throat and catching his stride.]
So if any of you need me, you can find me at Cloud City. Just look for the orange airship parked a mile outside of town!

[It's weird, admitting that, but Jecht deserves that much.]
But I think we can really make a good showing. Get to know our teams better, so it'll be even better when we get to play next year!
Happy Father's day, Tidus
Alright, let's just get this outta the way-- what're the big rookie mistakes in this game?
lol
[He looks unsure, but will brush past it with a smile.]
Anyway, the most important thing is staying focused. You can't let yourself get distracted by cute girls. Or guys. And trust me, there'll be a lot of them. And you don't want to do too much taunting outside the pool, either...that just tends to get people fixed on taking you down.
Unless that's part of a strategy. It could be!
no subject
[The mention of cute girls DOES make him a little pensive, however...]
...Well, I DO have someone who says she wants to cheer for me at the game; what'm I supposed to do, tell her no?
no subject
no subject
...Y'think we'll see the field as rookies, though?
no subject
This is just advice for next time! And there'll probably be other exhibition games throughout the year.
no subject
At least it gives us somethin' to shoot for.
no subject
But I've gotta get by on my own skill this time. Kind of looking forward to it.
no subject
No wonder. You must'a felt like you had something to prove, right?
no subject
[What a fun time that had been!]
But that's all in the past now. We're here to shake up this world's game!
no subject
[It starts as a sudden, subtle look of consideration on Red's face... then one of confusion. And it quickly blossoms into a full-on double-take.]
...What??
no subject
That always happened. Anyone who tried to beat it either died or became the next one.
no subject
Well, maybe just ONE question...]
Why?! Does the monster just have it out for blitzball or somethin'?
no subject
no subject
[Hold on. This was getting WAY too close for comfort. Red actually looks quite taken aback by that explanation.]
...like some kinda 'reset' button?
no subject
no subject
Lemme guess. She had some kinda power to seal the thing away at the cost of someone's life, but you ended up havin' to get rid of it the old-fashioned way?
no subject
But yeah. Except that way was the old fashioned way, two people would've had to sacrifice themselves, and ripping a hole in it with a machine was unheard of until we tried it.
At least there was only one sacrifice our way.
no subject
This wasn't funny.]
What... was it called?
no subject
no subject
That's good.
no subject
[He gives Red a look, as if to say something else, but maybe it's something he needs to keep to himself.]
Hang in there! We'll get to meet on the field one of these days.
