Man, the water's not so bad. I used to pract -- [Loud crack, followed by a splash and a crunch]

... okay, maybe not.

... I just want things to make some sense!


... Hey, Yuna, will you come to that bonfire with me? I just wanna see you as much as I can... I mean, in case... I disappear like every one else seems to be doin'...

_{(OOC: Strikes private to Yuna.)}

[Tidus, hyper] I can't believe --

... oh, man... oh, man...

( Private to Rikku, somewhat hackable. )

( Private to MakubeX )

...

...

man, Rikku...

... my clothing's still all wet. You coulda warned me!

( Private to MakubeX. )

... _{I guess Yuna's gone.}

... no work, no food...

... hm...

... Where can I get a job?

( Private to Rikku )

... hm... sleepin' outside's not so bad.

[Tidus, loudly] H-hey!

Anyone up for some sparring? All the fiends here are way too easy! _{Man, I'm hungry again...}

O-oh, Auron! I've got some questions for you!

[It's eerie-quiet at first, before Tidus can be heard panting with exaustion. He's just discovered that he can't use his powers, you see, and it kind of sucks swinging the heavy-ass Brotherhood around without magic to go with...]

[Tidus] M... man...
... how long have I even been here? Never thought I'd -

_{... chest still kinda hurts.}


Um... I guess I should find somethin' useful to do. ... what is there in this creepy old place, anyway?

Oh - um - Lulu, you still got room?

((OOC: Strikes hackable. Also, this is Tidusese for 'I need a job and a couch to crash on'. Warning to Lulu - he snores. Loudly.))

[It sounds kind of strange - like someone landing hard on a pair of gym shoes, followed by the thunk of a rope smacking the ground. However, some who clearly rememeber childhood, if they had one, will know what's up - yes, Tidus, star of the Zanarkand Abes, is jumping rope. It's good for training. ]

[Tidus, panting] ninty-four... [thunk] ninty-five... [thunk] ninty-six... [thunk] Just... gotta work... not think... [wheeze] about it. Ninty-... aw, man, I lost count. [Whump; he's now sitting on the ground; the sound of the rope hitting stops.]

... if it's [wheeze] so full of dead people, where's my mom? [coughing] ... and what about my old man? And if it's for 'sinners', then why -

... [A loud yell. A very manly loud yell. Really.] None of this makes any sense! [Sliding, and then a crash. He may well have punted his console.] ... again. [Static]

[Transmission failed]

[Tidus, groggy] Wh... huh... what? ... Sphere... ? It’s a weird shape, but I guess… H-heeeey? Anybody out there?

... ooonhh... where am I? I'm hungry... ... OH!

Oh, no! I -
( possibly spoilery~ )

... YUNA!? [panting] … Yuna… [Sound of him sitting back down, then a whimper, tone becoming quiet faint]

(… … man… I'm tired… [Voice fading] I … wanna … go home…)

[Transmission timed out]
