Level Two || Matt || [Accidental Video]

[[When the picture finally comes into focus, it's of Matt's characteristic goggles laying down in front of the screen for those who know them. They're quickly scooped up and the mirror that the device is unknowingly pointed at relays Matt turned to the side (Sorry Milly, still no eye-colour shot!) as though looking at something while straightening

HAHA, totes not the only one. Back before I knew about online translators and charts, I made my own

[Keeping back tears proves to be harder work than Rikku'll ever admit. Especially since she can't even tell whether they're tears of joy or just the sort of tears somebody cries when they're more homesick than they ever realized.]

[Rikku must have readjusted her position at least half a dozen times during your reply - which is saying something because, again, not that much time has gone by. She started by drawing her knees up to her chest, and then rocked all her weight forward to take lean against the desk. And when she could decidedly stay still no longer she bent her legs at the knees, tucking her feet under her bum, and resting all weight forward on her hands. Finally, exhausted by both the constant repositioning and the turning of mental gears, Rikku slouched back into the chair as a puddle of mesmerized goo.]

[Rud tysh. Even though the Babel fish automatically translates Matt's words, there's a short lag in the final delivery and she can tell he's speaking another language - her language - Pid ouin calnad ec cyva fedr sa. Rikku doesn't even need to hear him say it, she knows. And she can't believe it.]

I can't- I just can't even. Wow. So, you really, seriously know about Spira. And me. And what Yunie did. And everything?

[She laughs - man, is that something - and gives Matt a bright smile. At this point, the girl's just too shocked and too happy to take the whole "your secrets aren't very secret to me" comment weirdly.]

Well, most of them isn't all of them. And trust me, the juiciest ones are the ones best hidden~

[ooc: Duuude, thinking Matt's from Spira is going to make things so interesting! lol.]

Yep @_@ that was us too LOL

[[Matt's not used to women so much, even more to women who look as shocked as he felt to figure out he's talking to a game character come to life. Except ...she looks like she's about to explode into one emotion or the other and when she finally speaks, Matt's glad it's seeming to just be neutral for the moment.

He nods his head as she asks her questions, smirking and smiling at the way she says all the juicy ones are hidden.]]

Those ones I'll get to eventually.

[[He's said it in a joking voice, he doesn't really mean he's going to start prying or anything. Just trying to lighten up the situation.]]

See, back home, people called me a geek for learning all the things I've learned-- but hell with 'em if it can bring that kind of a smile to your face.

It was probably every hardcore FFX-er XD

[whosyour_rikku]

[No force in the world can wipe this smile off her face. The very idea of having someone on her wavelength is enough to keep her in the giddiest of spirits.]

[Rikku decides not to respond to that first comment. This moment was about being coy, cool, and mysterious! And as she absorbed from Auron, there are three keys to achieve mystery: be silent, be vague if silence isn't an option (and make sure you say something that'll leave 'em hanging on an edge of "woah"), and own a good pair of sunglasses/tinted goggles. Well, she can so do that first one. Oh yeah...!]

[... But only on an isolated moment basis.]

Since when is "geek" an insult, anyway? If you ask me, it's the highest compliment; one step above "spazz" and two doors down from "nerd". And anyone who tells you otherwise is lame.

LOL thank you now i dont feel so bad... & poor Rikku ;---; he's not from Spira (he's from Kira! LOL)

[100percentmail]

[[Matt is sort of struck for a moment, his eyes a little wider than they had been. He's pretty sure that ..... huh, yeah he's pretty sure!]]

Was that a compliment I heard?

[[His grin blossoms into a full out smile and he chuckles softly.]]

That's really sweet of you to say Rikku, at least.. I think it was really sweet.

[[He makes a pretend thinkyface.]]

Yeaaaaah, that's gonna really suck when she figures it out.

[whosyour_rikku]

[Not even pretending it was implied any other way] Must'uh been! At least, I take it as a compliment when I'm called that. And besides, we geeks gotta stick together, right?

;___; it is *rubs face on her*

[100percentmail]

[[Matt chuckles gently, nodding his head.]]

Yeah, that's right Rikku.
A'right, I gotta get going or I'll be late for work. Still owe you that time out though- don't let me forget it hm?

Maybe if we ignore it, it'll go away :|a

A girl never forgets about friendly ham pizza! Check you later, then! [Salutes off.]
