[The video feed turns on to reveal two ocean blue eyes blinking into it, round with curiosity. A delayed few seconds later, and he realizes it's working.]

Oh. Hey! Can anyone see this?

[He holds it away to zoom out while he scratches the back of his head, smiling. Having only recently arrived here a few minutes ago, he had no idea what to

[Yet another? Before Seymour actually makes himself known, his upper lip curls back very subtly in disgust. They're making this far more difficult than it has to be and he's growing tired of having to set them all straight. He's been doing his best to tolerate his new and unfortunate roommate and that in itself is an unwieldy task.

Alas-- when his face finally appears on the feed to answer Tidus' transmission, his expression is as amiable and kind as if he hadn't just been trying to murder them all.]

Ah, if it isn't the son of Jecht. It was only a matter of time, I'm sure.

[Tidus, on the other hand, makes no effort to hide his anger upon seeing Seymour. Damnit, just how many more times were they going to have to kill him?! He thought that had been the last time, and with Sin finally gone...

It didn't make any sense. His eyes darken, and he gives him his most vehement scowl while shouting.]

Save it, Seymour!

[He hates admitting it to himself, but he knows next to nothing about this place and Seymour either does or is bluffing. Which only annoys him more. He asks accusingly.]

What do you mean by a matter of time?!

[He remains unaffected by the anger-- or rather, he smiles a little more. He'll neglect to tell him that his comrades are here; they'll probably find their way to him if they haven't already.]

Welcome to the town known only as Never Was. [Perhaps he's mocking him, when he places a hand on his chest and bows graciously at the waist in greeting. He straightens, a strange glint in his eyes.] I assure you I had no hand in your being here, however. That was the world's doing, all on its own.

[His glare deepens, and he wants nothing more than to wipe that smile off his face by beating him again. What kind of name was Never Was? After a moment, he manages to get a handle on his emotions. At least, better than before.]

Since when did you join any welcoming committee? [The retort is sarcastic, but with the way Seymour is talking it sounds like he's been here...longer than Tidus has. Part of him is disappointed to hear he didn't have anything to do with his arrival here, because if he had it was possible he could have just defeated him, as usual, and everything would have been fixed.] And what would this world want with you?! [Only one connection comes to mind, and...he's not going to say it aloud.]

[Fang's lips quirk into a little smirk of amusement. This one seemed awfully cheery for a new guy. And it didn't look like anyone had informed him about the hotel yet, so...]

Either you've got some damn good intuition or you're just lucky.

[Despite not knowing who she is, Tidus is grateful for the face.]

Or I'm just that great at picking my directions.

[He replies with a hint of cockiness, only to ask in the same beat.]

Why? Am I going somewhere important?

[More importantly, with more people?]

[video]

[bahamutgal]

So much for thinkin' you knew where you were going.

[But her tone's not unkind. Just...a weird mixture of exasperated and amused.]

Do you even know where you are

[swordplaying]

[There's a pause, and he gives her the you-got-me smile and replies in a slightly sheepish tone.]

I was hoping you knew. All I know is it's some world that's living and eats people with strong hearts.

[ Whoa. Tidus got big!

Sora inches closer to the screen, eyes squinting. ]

... Tidus? Is that you?

[ It sure looked like him, sounded like him, too. ]

[video]

[swordplaying]

[Indeed he did!

Tidus blinks, totally lost. He doesn't know who this guy is...and he thinks he would remember someone with a hairstyle like that.]

You know me?

[Cue scratching back of his head.]

[chosen_derp]

[ Sora's face scrunches up into a pout. No way, there's no way Tidus would forget about him! ]

'Course I do! We use to play around the islands all the time. You hit your head or something?

[video]

[swordplaying]

[Tidus frowns and adopts a thinking pose. He's trying very hard to remember, but...nope!]

Sorry, I don't think we've ever met.

[Despite you knowing his name and everything.]

[grandsummons]

It-- It's you!

[ video ]

[swordplaying]

YUNA!

[An onslaught of emotions hits him all at once. He surprises himself in even managing to ask.]

Where are you?

Re: [ video ]

[grandsummons]

( she looks relieved. happy, even )

I'm just near the ice cream shop at the moment, but -- it looks like you're near the hotel! I, um... I can meet you there, if you'd like!

[ video ]

[swordplaying]

[He can hardly contain the joy in his voice. In fact, he doesn't, his face breaking into a huge smile. Which was faster? He didn't know where the ice cream shop was.]

Sure!

[Now he's fidgeting worse than Rikku.]
