[video flicks on, showing rikku looking kind of flustered. she’s wearing her thief garb, and is tugging on one of her braids.]

Y’know, when a girl’s dragged out of her own dimension into another one, she kinda likes to be asked about it first. Or told, at least. Don’t get me wrong-I’m always up for an adventure, but. Even this is kind of extensive

[Great and Awesome, you say, Rikku?]

If you're planning on being calm and serious, you're failing already.

permavid.

[chrysophilist]

[Yes, she does say. And she gives a little shrug, and a grin.]

Eh, I wasn't really an Auron-y kind of girl anyway. I could try Lulu? [And she tries to make her expression kind of grumpy which, considering the circumstances, isn't so hard.]

[youropponentis]

I don't know who those people are. So really, it shouldn't matter who you're trying to pretend to be. Shouldn't you just work on being yourself?

[chrysophilist]

[Pause.] You sound like Kimahri. Yeah, you're right--I should just be myself. Thanks, stranger!

Permavideo?

[birthandjustice]

'Heretic?' Goodness. If you put it that way, I would rather be called a 'mutant' than deal with the fanatically religious-types.

[Joshua smirks in amusement.]

You're just fine the way you are.

permavideo!

[chrysophilist]

Yeah, heretic was one of the tamer ones, too.

[Smiles back.]

Thanks! I'm glad you think so.

Permavideo Party!

[birthandjustice]

And what made them say that about you?

It's better to be yourself and enjoy the moment, right?

[chrysophilist]

Oh, just this and that. Y'know.

For sure! So, who're you?

permavid as well!

[wakingwaters]

Don't worry, you're definitely not alone out here. There's a lot of us "mutants", I think.

[chrysophilist]

Yeah? Man, that kinda sucks. I mean, why can't we just be people? I don't get it.

[wakingwaters]

I guess we just seem too different to them.

[chrysophilist]

Weird. Huh, well, anyway, I'm Rikku. Who're you?

[pazaakfool]

[Hello cheerful person. Have a hung over Atton.]

Hey, hey. Kid, keep the noise down over there. Some of us professional grumpy people are trying to work, here.

permavid.

[chrysophilist]

[Leans close to the comm, blinking one big green eye at you.]

Huh? Work? What're you workin' for? I mean, you've already got a job? That's kinda cool.

[pazaakfool]

Uh-huh. The job of being a grumpy, serious guy who's got a serious sickness problem. What, they handing out stims now?

[chrysophilist]

[Unamused.] I dunno what a stim is, but that wasn't very funny. Seriously, though. Why're you so grumpy?

[wontstopjust_go]

[Grins from his own video feed.]

Great and Awesome Rikku, huh? You must be pretty famous to have a name like that.

[chrysophilist]

You have no idea, cfaadc. I'm one of the most famous people in Spira!

[wontstopjust_go]

Uh, sorry, I didn't catch that. What did you call me?

[chrysophilist]

Never mind, just a slip of the tongue. So, where're you from?
