[Tidus is smiling pretty cheerfully when his SFC turns on.]

So, I've been thinking, and it's come to my attention that we live surrounded by water. Which brings me to a question for everyone:

How many of you can swim?

[He stretches his arms out in front of himself before letting them fall at his sides.]

I've also been thinking of what I'm going to do here, and I'm not sure what. But since I have a lot of spare time now, if anyone wants swimming lessons, I'd be happy to teach you.

Since it seems...kind of important and everything.

I certainly hope that a majority of the residents here can swim. If they can't, they'd be wise to take you up on your offer before it's too late.

Hopefully it won't be too late, but it's practical to know.

What about you? Do you know how to swim?

[fulmination]

Hopefully.

It's been a few years since I've done anything of the sort, but yes.

[topsseifer]

...who wouldn't know how to swim? Seriously. They make sure you know that stuff in school now. [Some people didn't do the school thing OR lived by the ocean though.

Scratching the back of his head.] I guess it could be possible. Eh. If you need any help or anything... [He'll help!]

[blitz_acing]

You might be surprised. Schools probably aren't as common as they were for us.

Sure, as long as you want to.

...I don't swim that much, so may I take up your offer?

[Read: She doesn't get that many swimming lessons and doesn't attend public schools.]

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Sure! What's your name?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

I'm Amane Kuzuryu.

[Roxas didn't actually mean to respond. He was just trying to figure out why this guy looks familiar... So there are a few seconds of him looking curiously at the screen before he realizes it's on and fumbles for something to say.]

I- I guess not everyone grew up on an island, huh.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

I guess not. I can't imagine living somewhere where the ocean isn't at least close by. Did you grow up on an island? Whoa--

[He blinks a few times and stares.]

How'd you get your hair to do that?

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Um, sort of. [He was someone else at the time, does that count?]

Huh? [He actually looks up as if that'll let him see his own hair.] Do what? I don't do anything special...

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

I can.

Are you going to teach a formal class?

[video]

[blitz_acing]

Can you? Wanna race sometime?

I...guess. I don't know if you'd call it formal.

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

No racing.

Either way, it's better if more people can swim.

[video]

[golden_gloves]

That's a good idea. Swimming's a great way to increase your strength.

[video]

[blitz_acing]

That's a good point. It's one of the best ways to increase your strength.

[video]

[golden_gloves]

If I'm going to be stuck here, I might as well take advantage and add it to my regimen.

[lunaria]

. . . Seriously? Uh, do you want tokens for the lessons?

video;

[blitz_acing]

No, I just need something to do.

[lunaria]

Okay. Is it gonna be a one-on-one thing, or a group exercise?

[incinerare]

[Forgive the man if this is annoying, but it's rather hard to work the SFC when all one has is a memory of how it looked like and how things worked, he's still attempting to match the memory up with the object he's holding in his hands. Ignoring, partially, what he's been told by a certain man after hearing Riza growl at him about feeding him misinformation.

So, when he first attempts answer this, there's feed of a man looking down at the camera, but not actually looking into it, the eyes are obviously not focused on anything. Despite this he doesn't speak, and abruptly the video vanishes, though the audio remains. Following is the sound of someone walking, the sound of a body hitting something solid, a small sound of pain and then finally the muffled talking between a man and a woman.]

I wouldn't mind learning more about it.

[God only knew when this place would decide to show its perverse sense of humor again by dumping him back into water.]

[blitz_acing]

[He blinks, pretty certain the guy he's talking to is blind.]

Okay! What's your name?

[voice]

[incinerare]

[Tidus would be correct in that. Unfortunately it's a rather recent occurrence, so he's still learning just how one actually lives without their sight.]

Roy Mustang. Might I ask who I'm speaking to?

[voice]

[banditking]

I do! Swimmin' is fun!

[voice]

[blitz_acing]

Cool, we should swim sometime.
