day 14, fiddlesticks ; video from sleeper 6

[blitzcheer]

Hey everyone, how you doin'? I'm Tidus. Been here around since the last stop, and I know there's gonna be another one soon, but I've been itching to ask: What did you do for fun in your worlds?

Back home, the biggest entertainment was Blitzball! Two teams goin' up against each other underwater, giving it all they've got to score the ball in the other team's goal! [ He's grinning, excited even to share that. ] That's a simple way of putting it since I can't start showing everyone how to play, and I wanna hear about your guys' fun.

So? What did you do? It doesn't have to be just sport. Did you have videogames? Arcades? Did you have fighting competitions? Draw? What do you do now? I wanna hear what people are into!

And hey, if you ever want a partner for one of the ball games they have here, hit me up! I wanna try as many as I can. Can't do it on my own though!

If we ever have the luxury of a pool, you must teach me. [And you've actually helped him learn this.] I believe I enjoy sports.

[blitzcheer]

Alright, you betcha! I can even get you started now!

How long can you hold your breath for?

[usestwohands]

I've never been given reason to try.

[But Tidus will find Drizzt is a stubborn student.]

How long must I hold my breath?

[blitzcheer]

A game's two rounds, five minutes each, but it's gonna take more than just holding your breath for that long.

[ Given the swimming, the strenuous activity while taking in no oxygen... ]

But that's alright. We've got time, and learning the moves before playing a proper game's a good workout!

[usestwohands]

And you are in the water the entire time? [10 minutes? Of holding one's breath?] I will do it.

[And that, it seems, is that.]

Yes, it is. But we must not forsake your swordsmanship. I have proper blades, now.

[blitzcheer]

Sure, sure! I was taking it easy after that mission we had, but you know what, I'm rearing to get back into it!

[ It would be a lie if some recent news hadn't sparked him to pick up his blade. ]

How about we meet up today?

[usestwohands]

Rest is good, yes, and deserved, but it can also be a detriment.

[He smiles.]

We'll start slow, if you're concerned.

[blitzcheer]

'Slow'? Y'sure that's not for your benefit?

[ Hah! ]

I don't do slow!

[usestwohands]

[Well, Tidus does need to be tested.]

We shall let the blades speak for themselves.
