fiddlesticks 25, video from standard coach: open to all

[blitzcheer]

Sooooo, not being able to talk to most of the train that day sucked, huh? I don't know what to think about any of that, but since we can talk to each other now, I was thinking: How about we share where we're from, and see who's from worlds like ours?

And who speaks the same languages too! An actual list be better if that ever happens again, but for now, tell us about the kind of place you're from, what makes home home to you! You got kings or dragons? Machines? Portals to other worlds? Talking sea life? You just trying to get through school?

I'll go first to give you guys an idea, but share whatever you feel like!


( ooc: this is open to all, meaning feel free to put up a post and chat with other characters! )

To rescue my sister.

[blitzcheer]

Right, I remember you told me about her.

[ Now they're here...

He doesn't want to ask if she'll still be alright without him going to get her, since he might not even know himself. And if he does-- Tidus lets out a small frustrated sound under his breath. ]

The more I hear about what people were doing before this, the more I don't like the way it drags us along.

[ The uncertainty. What it drags people away from. ]

[bridgetothefuture]

She's going to be fine.

[He's not quite able to keep the bitterness out of his voice.]

It's... complicated, at least for me. I had a long chat with the man from the same world as me. He filled in a lot of the dots for me.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah? [ He says it with some relief, though it doesn't entirely extinguish his own frustration. ]

But you wouldn't have known if he wasn't here to tell you. How does that help, taking people away at a time like that? Whoever's doing this sure has great timing.

[bridgetothefuture]

It's because we're both here that the two of us were able to talk it out. She pitted us against each other for her personal gain.

I suspected something was off, but I had no idea my sister was the one lying to me.

[It's pretty clear he's trying not to get into it too much, but that it seriously bothers him anyway.]

[blitzcheer]

Eh? [ Well that's an abrupt turn Tidus wasn't expecting. ]

What was she trying to get out of you?

[ He can't help being curious, with everything Sam' said about his world. Going to somewhere dangerous as he'd described it--what would've been the point or purpose? ]

[bridgetothefuture]

It's complicated.

[He shakes his head.]

She wanted me to do something for the government, and knew there wasn't any way in hell I'd do anything for the government. So she cooked up a story about being kidnapped, and working with the government was the only way to help find her.

I'm sure there's more that I'm missin', but given how often she lied to me, I doubt the guy here knows much more about the situation.

[blitzcheer]

[ Well. ]

That does sound complicated...

But if you go back and you know that... what are you gonna do? You got any idea?

[bridgetothefuture]

Leave.

Go into hiding with Lou, take Higgs with me if I can. I'm not goin' back, and I'm not going to be used again.

[blitzcheer]

Don't blame you. I hope it works out for you all.
