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!

[ This time, Tidus notices Taiki, a visible pause when he sees him, surprise worn well in his already animated expression. It lasts a second or so before life returns to his limbs, and Tidus practically jumps into the seat next to Gyousou. Really, he shouldn't be this excited to see a blitzball-themed cartoon; it's not like he's been without it for years, and cartoons aren't anything new to him.

But after countless blank expressions for a sport he dedicated most his life to, he wants the validation of seeing as real. That it's not just his world--his world, as much as Spira was ...and it was, wasn't it?--that loved and breathed it.

So Tidus watches, hunched forward with arms crisscrossing over his lap, transfixed. Ready to note any and all discrepancies about the game, anything unrelated to be ignored. There's a 50/50 chance if he'll even pick up any names unless they're moves. ]

[The constant, if faint, smell of blood on the islands had taken it's toll even if Taiki had stubbornly kept going until the end. He's not sick, but he is exhausted.

Luckily so are most of the passengers, only a few days after their return to the void. Except it seems Tidus who has a terrifying amount of energy. Taiki peeks up at Tidus and Gyousou as they sit down, a wary creature gauging the threat, deciding it is safe and letting himself rest again. His eyes flicker towards the screen, wondering what it is they have found to watch.]
