[The first time Tidus turns on the video of his SFC, he doesn't look quite the same as he did in person. Orange fur, cat-like ears...why yes, he's a Lombax. He crosses his arms. He doesn't look too happy, but he doesn't look like he's about to freak out or burst into tears, either. He narrows his eyes, still blue--something that stayed the same, though there are enough traits for him to look different.]

I already tried going back to sleep for five minutes and waking up. I already panicked, and I already know this is one of those curses.

But could someone tell me what I am? [He fidgets uncomfortably, leaning back. It appears he hasn't ditched his normal attire.] This feels really weird. It's too warm, and my head is heavy. How does anything put up with this?

[ The Demigod stares into the screen in pure disbelief before calmly stating the following. ]

Isn't it obvious? You're supposed to be a tiger.

[ A pause ]

...A very human-like tiger.

[video]

[blitz_acing]

Can tigers normally talk or walk on two feet though? [Tidus has only heard about them in a few stories, having never seen one firsthand.]

[video]

[windfang]

...Well, no.

[ He says this like it's so obvious and yet he's the one who suggested that the boy is a tiger. ]

Of course not!

[video]

[blitz_acing]

So then I must not be.

Did you ever see one for yourself?

[video]

[windfang]

I have seen a tiger before long ago in my youth. They're a rare sight to behold.

[ He leans into the screen a little to get a better look at the cat-creature. ]

While you are no tiger, you certainly bear similar markings to one.

[blitz_acing]

[He glances up to try and see what Yasha sees, with no luck.]

Do tigers have stripes?

[video]

[windfang]

Indeed, they do.

In fact, they have many stripes covering their entire body. Their fur is a mesh between orange and black usually, but sometimes their fur can be as white as snow but decorated with black stripes.

[Video] - DAMN IT SEAN CONNERY LOOK MORE APPALLED

[double_edged]

[HI EXCUSE HIM he's not really listening to a word you're saying. All he can see is a Lombax and a very familiar voice.

So... well, right now there's a human male. But make no mistake, this is also a real, true Lombax himself! But he's staring at you in a mix of shock and horror. What should he say? What could he say?

Whatever stutters out of his mouth, that's what.]

...K... Kaden....?

[Video] - IT'S HIS EYES. THEY'RE SO EXPRESSIVE

[blitz_acing]

[Tidus stares at him, mouth agape and eyes wide in confusion and...well mainly confusion. WHY IS THIS OLD MAN STARING AT HIM LIKE HE DID SOMETHING STUPID? So he's going to answer with a very intelligent:]

What?

[Video] - TIDUS LOOK AT HIS EMOTIONNNNNN

[double_edged]

Are... are you...?

This isn't... real. Is it? You sound just like him. It can't be anything else.

[Video] - IT'S TOO MOVING, I CAN'T...

[blitz_acing]

Huh? Excuse me...?

Who's him?

Re: [Video] - THAT ICON WHY WOULD YOU... OW. OW.

[double_edged]

Kaden...

Kaden, it's me.

[Video] - I'M SORRY... mostly I'm too lazy to draw my own atm

[blitz_acing]

Uh...who's Kaden?

[Video] - NO NO IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[double_edged]

...Kaden. You're Kaden.

Who else would you be?

--oh. Oh, Orvus.

Zoni, you've lost your memory.

[bardofdrips]

Ha! Dude, you're a Lombax! One of my best buddies here is usually one but he's a lot bigger!

video;

[blitz_acing]

A Lombax, huh? [He has no idea what that is, but at least there's a name.] How...big are they normally?

video;

[bardofdrips]

Oh, just the size of a normal human. Alister's just tall--He's probably six foot-somethin' and I'm five-eight, nine?

video;

[blitz_acing]

Oh. So you're the same height as me.

[ Sophie stares. Stares for a very very long time, considering the depth of that question. Hrm. HRMMMMMMMMMMM!! ... Finally she points. ]

Kitty.

Video

[blitz_acing]

[Tidus raises his eyebrows, pointing at himself, before he laughs dryly and scratches the back of his head.]

I guess I am.

Video

[lucentpalisade]

You're a talking kitty. Like the talking bunny.

[ What a fascinating turn of events. ]

How come you didn't know you were a kitty?

Video

[blitz_acing]

There's a talking bunny?

I... where I come from, cats don't talk, walk, or have hands like this, or walk on two feet.

`Video

[lucentpalisade]

[ A slow nod. ]

His name is Bugs.

There aren't any talking animals on Cheria and Asbel's world either.

`Video

[blitz_acing]

Whoa, sometimes I'd like, wonder what they say if they could talk, but I didn't know any actually did.

What about your world? Do they talk there?

[lucentpalisade]

[ She's silent, though it's more thinking than awkwardness. That weird pain in her head kept coming back when she tried to remember. ]

I don't know - I don't know where my world is.
