| [Someone finally caved and found an apartment. Holding the SFC, Tidus smiles a little distractedly.]
Check out my new place. I was getting bored with sleeping wherever I was. I don’t feel any different or more mature than I did before, at least not just in one day. I don’t think I would have felt any different if I hadn’t ended up in Spira…but I think that’s normal. Maybe. I’m not sure if it even counts.
[He shrugs.] It's an excuse to eat cake, so whatever.
[And he eats that piece of cake, talking between bites.]
What are your favorite things to do when you have time on your hands? |

| [The video turns on to bright, light grey, clouds; the only barrier between the sun and the beach. Raindrops fall onto the camera, but they're wiped off by the owner of the SFC, one vampire who's currently standing dressed only in an open button-down and loose, low-hanging jeans that are rolled up to above his knees, calf-deep in the ocean as the rain falls steadily from the sky.
Apparently, he likes to live on the edge with those clouds.]
“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.” Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.
Back home, I've heard it said that God is in the rain just as He is in the sun's rays...
[So, then, why is it only the sun that burns?]
Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life...and yet, people hide away from the rain and seek shelter inside and curse nature for ruining their bright and sunny day. Why?
[Finally he turns a small, vaguely sad, smirk to the camera.]
What about all of you? What are your qualms with the rain? Does it have any sort of significance for you personally or back home? Or is it just the thing that hides the sun from your face~? - Tags:desu mc (katsu aoki), dizzy, expatriate darkleer, fai d. flourite, johnny rayflo, kanaya maryam, ky kiske, rinoa heartilly, roxas, ryu, serph, tsuzuki asato

| [ it's the effeminate samurai with a rather stylish umbrella. ]
In the two years I have been here, I still have yet to understand how it rains in a bubble beneath the sea. However the locals here have such unusual and festive umbrellas, perhaps in celebration of the end of the Fishlympics.
With the return of new residents within the fishbowl, if anyone new knows of Takeda Shingen-dono or Kasuga, I do wish to speak with you. I do so dearly miss my rival and my ninja. |

| [ Video buzzes on, and immediately, there is a noticeable lack of audio. Perhaps this lady hasn't found her way to working the starfish communicator just yet, because after all, the lady's no technologist. Displaying on the video, however, a blond girl/lady around her late teens or so is seen, looking curiously at the screen (or at the device, in her perspective, anyway), and judging by the way the video shakes, it appears that the girl is shaking the device, or tapping the thing. Quite hard, to add. She seems to be very stressed out at the turn of events, and when the video stops shaking, the audio feed starts to work.
Thank goodness.
She seems to take note of this new advancement, and after a few more taps, she tilts her head to one side, a worried look coming across her features, still. Same as before. She smiles sheepishly, but that doesn't really cover up the general anxious mood she is in. She takes a deep breath-- ] My name is Usagi, Usagi Tsukino. And I was wondering, um, d-does anyone happen have a spare change of clothing? [ Wow rude, asking for things right off the bat--she blushes at this, and then zooms out on herself, seems that she had the thing on zoom in max, no wonder. Well, in her own defense, she's soaking wet, she looks like she may be shivering, and the look on her face clearly dictates how worried, nervous and uncomfortable she is. ] W-well, I'm in sort of a predicament, that is to say, um, I'm soaked to the bone. I really don't know how I got myself here, at least I don't think I got myself here in the first place but-- [ She scratches the back of head, and to her dismay, it's wet and sticking to her face. ] If anyone is so kind as to tell me where I am or how to go from here, I'd really appreciate it! Really! I'm extremely thankful, um, well...
[ Now that the majority of her rambling is done, she eyes herself, and being more self-conscious, she wraps an arm around herself--but still, are her friends here too? Oh, she wouldn't like the sight of that! Well, she'll take it as it comes, or something along those lines. ] Um, thank you very much for your time!

| [Bet you're just eager for more confused arrivals, aren't you Vatheon? Well, this one actually barreled headfirst into someone that directed him to the welcoming committee. It's not going to stop him from trying to rationalize it away as the communicator flicks on.]
Finally. Weird little thing. 'Kay, someone be straight with me here.
This is a dream, right? 'm just dreaming about being in a bigass fish tank where we have to give G-rated tributes to some coral god every--oh--other day-ish. Why? I don't know, maybe being dead knocked me loopy. Wouldn't be the first time.
Minato? Yuka-tan? Fuuka-chan? ...Anybody from SEES? When are you guys gonna pop up an' tell me about your new BFF Neptune?
[He is well and truly ruffled, folks. Help a bro out?] |

| [Hi there, blond guy peering closely at the camera - though not directly into it, for whatever reason. Maybe he hasn't quite realised it's recording? His expression, hovering somewhere between curiosity and downright suspicion, certainly doesn't suggest he's familiar with the technology. And then there's his outfit, which could've been taken straight out of an old photo album. After pouring a bucket of water onto it, anyway.
The picture spins as he turns the communicator over in his hand, briefly becoming a tiny panorama of the plaza around him. Speaking of said hand, it's only onscreen for a moment, but is that some kind of armoured glove he's wearing? That doesn't go with the waistcoat.
By the time the camera's pointing more or less at his face again, he seems to have lost interest.]
Well, I'm not gonna find him just by sitting here... Guess I should get my bearings. [Although the tiredness in his voice makes it sound like he'd rather locate a drink first.
There's a blur of motion, and then the only image on the feed is the inside of a pocket. Yeah, he really doesn't know what he's doing with this thing.
Later on, you might run into him wandering the streets by himself, increasingly crumpled complimentary map in hand and looking decidedly frustrated.] |

| [Shaking the excess water from her hair, the little pink haired girl notices her brand new communication device. Picking it up, she examines the device for a few seconds which includes turning it around and upside down. Once she finishes her little inspection, she smiles rather cheerfully]
Oh, its a communication thingie! It's almost as pretty as the one I have back home. [A pensive look appears on her face before she brings the SFC close and licks it....Making a face, she pouts and lowers the device]
Bleh! It's doesn't taste as nice as mine. [A beat] Oh, it's recording!
Hiii! I'm Yachiru Kusajishi. Why did we have to take a bath when we came into this strange place? I already took a bath this morning! Why are the fishies able to swim really high above us? Oh yeah, has any seen my Ken-chan? He's really big and strong, but gets lost if I'm not with him.
