    Certainly it was a lot to take in, and of course she was unable to understand it all, not being from the same world as him. She wonders if it was easy to let it all out, if there was some liberation in telling someone absolutely everything. It’s something she’s contemplated a lot, but in the end her most deep thoughts remained where they were. She’s not entirely sure what to say or where to begin, how do you reassure someone that they’re real when evidently, they weren’t?

    “Don’t all those experiences, and all those feelings make you real though?” Such things are what made up a person. “Even if you were this fayth’s dream, didn’t you become more than that during your journey?” A light shrug of her shoulders follows, as she simplifies matters quite easily. “It sounds tough…I guess it’s something I can’t really understand huh?” When perhaps she could. After her death all she left behind were memories, fragments of herself within those who’s lives she’d touched, it was the only thing to prove that she had lived, otherwise she might as well have been a mere dream. Easily forgotten. “But I think as long as people are thinking of you, like that girl, you’ll always be much more than a dream,” whether it could be physically achieved or not, in that girls heart he would be. “Maybe that’s not much consolation, when you’re the one who has to leave them behind,” to continue the dream. “It’s not easy,” and silently she understands.

[zanarkandstarplayer]

Just by listening to her words, he could tell that Aeris was such a kindhearted person. Willing enough to listen his story and even trying to reassure him was pretty good confirmation for that. She could have chosen not to listen to him, and he’d honestly understand if she went down that road, because quite frankly, he didn’t often open up this much, but for one reason or another, the timing seemed right. 

He cupped his chin in his hand briefly. “Y’know, I never actually thought of it like that before. Maybe you’re right.” This way of thinking brought him comfort. He couldn’t expect her to understand everything, but she seemed to know what to say. Her warmness was fairly easy to open up to. “I guess... I might just be a dream, but my feelings are real, that much I’m sure about.” he managed to say. “It’s definitely not easy, but I guess the best way to put it is that I am what I am. Thanks, Aeris. I think that was something I needed to hear.”

[zanarkandstarplayer]

probably should have done this a couple of days ago, but like this for a small starter! gonna cap it at 4 for now!

[cetrasguard]

    “Hmm, maybe I’ll ask you for some lessons some time? Who knows I could be the next star player,” she’s joking of course but she wouldn’t mind trying it out. Despite her relatively enclosed life she had an adventurous spirit and was always willing to try new things if they interested her. She bobs her head in agreement, glad he could perhaps find something he could enjoy while stuck here.

    Clearly she’d hit a memory he’d rather not recall, but perhaps it was a matter best let out then kept inside. She felt hypocritical thinking such things, as there was much she wouldn’t share.

    “A dream?” She repeats. It was hard to believe, but not for the reasons he’d probably assume. “You seem pretty real to me,” extending her hand to quickly pinch him on the arm as if to prove her point. “See?” A smile returning to her lips. “A thousand years ago though…that makes you pretty old then huh? You certainly don’t look it,” continuing with her light attitude in hopes of raising his spirits a little.

[zanarkandstarplayer]

“Yeah, maybe! With enough practice and dedication, you can pull off anything you want to. If you ever want me to give you lessons, I’d more than happy to help out! Just let me know, and I’ll be there!” he was now raising a fist in the air somewhat unknowingly, it always pumped him up when he got the opportunity to help out others interested in blitzball.

All he could really do was nod. It truly was a difficult thing to explain. “Maybe, but it’s not that simple. I might look real, but I really am a dream. See, where I’m from, there are spirits known as the fayth, and with their special powers, helped people called Summoners on their journey to help ease Spira, the real world’s suffering. A giant monster called Sin for the last thousand years constantly tormented Spira, killing thousands and thousands of people, and a Summoner’s job was to defeat it, and bring temporary peace to the world. Sin would always be reborn though after what was called the Calm. But thankfully, I was able to help end Sin for good, but a lot of the credit goes to someone very special to me...Yuna. She was the Summoner, and I guarded her.” he paused, realizing that what he just told Aeris was a lot to take in. 

“Anyway, my point being, the fayth dreamed up the Zanarkand I’m from, and as a result, the people who lived in the city, including me. I’m not actually a thousand years old, though. It’s the same kind of Zanarkand, just at a different period in time. But luckily enough, I was able to come to the real world, I was able to come to Spira. In the end, I don’t regret it, because if I didn’t get the chance, I would have never met Yuna. I... I love her.” he put his hand over his chest, now slightly smiling. Just thinking about Yuna was enough to make him happier and give him butterflies.

    That little compliment of his didn’t bypass her, not at all.

    “Hmm really? I suppose so,” a knowing glint in her eyes but chooses to not tease him about it too much. “I would volunteer myself but I don’t think I could hold my breath for that long,” unable to even comprehend how anyone could. But clearly it’s not outside the realm of possibility. “I’m sure you could get other people interested though, maybe put up posters for lessons or something?” Not only would it be fun, but it could also serve as a distraction from their predicament. She herself sought all manner of things to keep herself occupied, she’s afraid to stop, if she does she fears her mind would wander too far. “Not…real?” A curious tilt of her head follows, she recalls him saying something like that before. “Why wouldn’t it be real?”

[zanarkandstarplayer]

In all honesty, he had certainly hoped that she would choose to just pretend not to hear his little slip, but clearly, it was a little too late for that. He scratched the back of his head for a moment, a slightly sheepish look on his face.·“Hey, don’t worry about. You don’t have to play if you don’t want to, I’m definitely not gonna force you or anything. After all, fans are just as important to blitzball as the players are, you know?” he nodded in agreement. Perhaps it would be fulfilling teaching others the art of blitzball.·“I think I’ll definitely look into, could be fun! Thanks, Aeris!”

Immediately after her asking about his home being real, his head quickly tilted towards the ground. He really didn’t like talking about the whole situation much, but Aeris seemed like someone he could trust.·“Well…it’s a little…complicated. See along with my home not being real…I’m not real either. I’m a dream. I know it sounds hard to believe, but it’s true. My home, Zanarkand… is actually the dream version of the ruins of a city destroyed a thousand years ago.”

[cetrasguard]

    “Mhm that’s right,” glad he actually remembered her as she knew sometimes when people were brought back their memories from before were wiped. “Yeah you were pretty enthusiastic about it, I think you planned to start a team or something,” although not the sporty sort she’d been interested. Hands link behind her back as she bobs her head in agreement. “I agree Tidus,” finally learning his name. “People come and go so fast here it’s hard to keep up you know?” That did bring up a question she’d been thinking about for some time however. “Do you remember leaving and returning home?” She left once and found herself here again, but had no memory of it.

[zanarkandstarplayer]

“Oh, good! Would have been kind of embarrassing if I forgot the name of such a pretty girl, huh?” he began, realizing that what he had just said kind of slipped out. “Err...anyway, yeah, I think it’d be great if I was able to get enough interest in thing. People don’t know about it yet, but they will soon enough.” He sincerely hoped that one day, he would be able to establish some kind of blitzball league in the city. It would be a great way to meet some new people too, after all. 

He had had to think about Aeris’ question for a second. “Uh, I dunno...I don’t think so, anyway. Not that I could ever return to my real home anyway. If you can call it real, that is.”

[cetrasguard]

@zanarkandstarplayer

    “Hey…I remember you,” elation clearly evident in her tone. She was fully aware that people didn’t stay here, many times she’d watched friends come and go. And though she’d only spoken to him briefly, it was nice to see someone she’d met and gotten on with come back. It was selfish she knows, no one wanted to be stuck here, nor did she wish it upon anyone…but still. “Maybe you don’t remember me, but you told me about…blitzball was it? And your home, I never did get your name though.”

[zanarkandstarplayer]

“Huh?” he had said briefly before turning around to see a familiar face. Oh yeah, he had talked with this girl for a little bit in the past. It was pretty nice to see someone he knew once again in this place. “Oh yeah, I remember you! Your name was...Aeris, right...?” he paused for a moment, cupping his chin with his right hand. “And blitzball huh? Yeah, I remember now. Of course, it’s kind of hard for me not to talk about it. Oh, and the name is Tidus, by the way! Gotta tell you, it’s pretty nice seeing someone familiar.”

hey everyone!!

i apologize for my inactivity recently, but i would definitely like to get started with the event!! i’ll be making a call to make event posts fairly soon!! 

[konohaflorist-deactivated201611]

How very unusual. But some things in life were like that- mysterious. And you had to accept them.

“Heh, I’m an only child too. I’m Yamanaka Ino, sorry for my rudeness. I just thought you were someone else…” 

“Sorry, how do you say your name again?”

[zanarkandstarplayer]

“Ino, huh? Nice to meet you! And hey, no worries. I mean, I think it’s a first for me, being mistaken for someone else, but things like that are gonna happen. Oh, and it’s pronounced ‘Tie-dus’. Probably not the most normal sounding name, huh?” 

He chuckled a little bit as his gaze shifted towards the sky for a moment, and then back to Ino. “So, Ino, how long have you been here anyway? Being away from home for so long, it can be tough.”

Try to incorporate in it a fact/reference to the other parent (without saying their name/URL/ship).

☓ Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

If this was me before you took me to Spira, the only thing I would have written in this letter to you is that I hate you. In some ways, I still kind of do. You left mom and me when I was just a little kid. She loved you more than anything, and she couldn’t be without you, and eventually, just lost the will to live, and for that, even though I know it couldn’t be entirely helped…I’ll never forgive you for that. As a kid, I hated you more than anything. Although I still don’t approve of some of things you said to me, I kind of understand now why you said them. You wanted me to be strong and independent, you know, a guy who thinks for himself. Kind of like you.

I wouldn’t end up realizing this until I was older, but I guess in a lot of ways, I really am your son. We are alike. Before Spira, I would have just thought that you don’t care about anyone but yourself…yourself and all the booze you’d drink, which I mean, to be fair, was a justified assumption, right? But then, I traveled with Auron in Spira, and he told me things I would have never thought myself. You know, like you and I would never turn a blind eye to someone in need, we’d do something just because it was the right thing to do. And then Auron told me the unthinkable: that horrible monster I had just recently heard about, Sin, the monster that had terrorized Spira for 1000 years, I found out that the newest incarnation of Sin was none other than you, my old man, who I figured was dead. 

One of the hardest things I ever had to do was fight you…and put end to you. When I really think about it, my journey started with you, and it also ended with you. Although it was hard to stop my old man, I was glad that I got to see you one last time. I know that you never said it back then, but…I hope that you’re proud of me. I never wanted to admit it, but in a way, I feel like that’s almost all I ever wanted. You’re the whole reason I began blitzball in the first place. There was nothing more I wanted than to beat my old man and make him proud of me. I guess now, I’ll never know if you’re proud of me, but I want you to know that for what it’s worth, I’m…proud to be your son, the son of Jecht. I just wish I had the chance to know sooner, that you were still out there somewhere. I hope I get to meet you again someday.

Tidus

x Dear Yuna,

Dear Yuna,

Oh man, where do I even begin? I guess I could start by saying you’re the most incredible person that I’ve ever met, and that nothing brought me more happiness than to be able to spend every day with you on your pilgrimage. Sure, it could be a little bit rough at times, but even in the most trying of situations, nothing could shatter your fierce determination to keep on going, even…even if meant that you were going to sacrifice your life so Spira would be able to enjoy peace…even if it was just for a moment.  I can admit that like Rikku, I didn’t want you to die. To suddenly have the most wonderful girl I’ve ever met just slip away wasn’t something I was prepared for. I just knew that we could find another way to save both you and Spira, and I’m glad that we did. I’m really thankful for all of the time that we’ve gotten to spend together, and I really hope that we get spend a lot more of it together. No one can replace you in my heart, no one. I just hope that you know that no matter what happens, I’ll always love you. I love you more than words can even begin to express in this simple letter.

Forever yours,

Tidus
