[Happy that the curse is over, Tidus thought it would be a great idea to share that fact with everyone else. He turns on the video, in the park. How long has he been there? Who knows. He still hasn't bothered to choose a place to live yet.]

Hey, I'm back to normal! Now you get to see what I really look like!

[He holds the SFC out further, you know in that predictable way people do with things like cellphone cameras, smiling brightly and starts walking around.]

See? My first curse. It feels like some kind of rite of passage or something. I guess now I'm officially a member of this city, huh? So, what do all of you do when things aren't in total chao--w-whoa!

[He loses his balance and falls, ending the feed. A few moments later, he turns it back on.]

But yeah, I look way better now.

[While there's now a human on the opposite side of the spectum, there is an old, white Lombax on this end, staring at the boy's antics and raising a brow.]

One week and you're already forgetting how to walk without a tail?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

[Tidus rubs the back of his head, smiling and looking embarrassed.] Well when you factor in the giant ears, different shaped head and huge feet--

Wait! That voice-- You're a cat, General!

[Video]

[double_edged]

Yes.

...we've discussed this.

And you're human, correct?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

And your wrinkles! They're gone!

Yeah, I'm back to my incredibly good looking human form.

[Video]

[double_edged]

And you have pasty pink skin that feels very uncomfortable without fur. Zoni, how do you creatures get by?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Hey, I have a great tan, thank you. I could ask the same about you. Isn't it annoying to have to have a hole in your pants?

[Video]

[double_edged]

Considering the Lombax tailors have all since vanished from my home universe, yes, it is a hassle.

You could always take up knitting. I hear it's calming.

[Video]

[double_edged]

Your wit just never ends, does it.

[Because obviously knitting = old.

Obviously.]

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

My wit is as eternal as my lung capacity.

[Video]

[double_edged]

Your who in the what?

[TIDUS YOU'RE SEVENTEEN THIS IS NO TIME FOR GOING SENILE.]

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

I can hold my breath for a really long time. Wanna see?

[HE WAS SENILE THE MOMENT HE ENDED UP IN SPIRA.]

[Video]

[double_edged]

You're not considering swimming outside, are you?

[BOY THEMS DINOSAURS OUT THERE.]

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

...That's a good idea! I'm going to go do that now!

[THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. He was just going to hold his breath in front of you, Alister, but this is way better.]

[Video]

[double_edged]

Over my rotting carcass, you are.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

That gives me plenty of time then, see ya in a bit!

[Video]

[double_edged]

No! STOP!

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

[He's already running, in the direction for the elevator.]

[Video --> action!]

[double_edged]

[DAMN IT TIDUS.

If you won't listen, he'll have to come and stop you himself. GUESS WHO DOESN'T HAVE SUPER-FAST HOVERBOOTS?

And guess who's cutting you off and hovering just feet in front of the elevator, a snarl on his face.]

That's as far as you go.

[action!]

[blitz_acing]

[Tidus skids to a stop, eyes wide.

Okay, old kitty is a little more intimidating in person. Especially with his height, and on top of that being able to hover.

And that expression.

It's like something from a weird bad dream. Still, he doesn't plan to let that stop him.]

Get out of my way! I can go wherever I want.

[action!]

[double_edged]

Do you have a death wish? Even the strongest of us can't take on those monsters swimming around. You'd be killed the second you set foot out there!

[And if you're not going to listen, he's prepared to fight. Or, at least knock you out and drag you back home where you can't get into any more trouble.]

I'm telling you this for your own good. Don't.

[action!]

[blitz_acing]

You obviously have never seen the Star Player of a Blitzball team swim before. If I can take on a zombie wyrm underwater, I can take care of a few little water reptiles.

[He puts his hands on his hips, proud of this announcement, and ready to fight his way through.]

[Video]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai is still stuck on the fact that his man apparently fell over..and he's not sure why. When the feed clicks back on he tilts his head a little.]

Are you alright?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Yeah, I'm good.

[He smiles at him, a little embarrassed but over it.]

[Video]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai smiles back, glad to hear he didn't injure himself.]

I'm glad. So I guess you must be fairly new and had to deal with the curse. That must have been quite the welcome.
