[voice flicks on. she sounds pretty nervous.]

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 for my tastes. And I have pretty unique tastes.

Like, this place isn't full of memories masquerading as live people, which is pretty cool, but it isn't full of chocobos or Hypello either, which makes it less cool. There is some nifty machina, like this communicator not-really-spherical thing, but... nothing else I really recognize. Not even any tall buildings like in Bevelle. [there's a frown in her voice.] But Shiva knows I really don't wanna be there right now.

Moving on.

[and now her tone changes; all the mischievousness.]

Anyways, does this place have a name? It can't not have a name, right? That'd be silly, and a place that brought the Great and Awesome Rikku here can't be silly. Because I'm totally not silly--if I'm gonna be on an adventure in another dimension, I gotta be serious and calm and stuff. Like Auron!

[she struggles to make her voice serious, but she can't keep it up, and she giggles as she reverts back to her token cheerful tone. then her voice fades to something like puzzlement.]

Hey, can anybody even hear this? [she taps the microphone, getting up close--she's a little loud, now.] Is it on right? I thought so, but just in case--

[she raises her voice, almost yelling now.] Hello? Hello! Hey, hi there, I'm Rikku! Anybody there? Answer me, okay?

[she laughs, pulling back from the microphone. the feed cuts.]

Uh, yeah? I mean, it probably is weird to some people, but it's never bothered me much.

[creepyfreezone]

I've never felt the need to, but it doesn't seem weird to me.

It would be a problem if talking to yourself bothered you.

*She's not mocking you, there's no sarcasm at all in that statement.*

[klutziness]

Yeah, I guess it would! [rikku likes her already] Like I said, I'm Rikku. Who're you?

[creepyfreezone]

*Sky is very likable.*

I'm Sky Smith, I'm from Earth.

[klutziness]

O...h. Well, hi Sky! Heh, that rhymed.

[creepyfreezone]

It id rhyme, is that good?

[klutziness]

Eh, it just made me laugh a little.

Anyway, tell me what you know 'bout this place!

[creepyfreezone]

Laughter is good?

The City is called Paixao, but the city is in a room of a castle. We're currently not allowed out of the city. This is probably on a planet far away from the one you're from. And the local inhabitants will accept shiny leaves as currency.

They also won't explain how that makes a functional economy, do you know?

[klutziness]

For sure! It's the best medicine, y'know.

Shiny leaves? Like... from trees? How are they shiny?

[creepyfreezone]

I... think that would make some doctors very upset to learn.

They're just shiny, it's very pretty to look at.

[klutziness]

Uh... it's just a saying, cfaadc.

I can't wait to find some! [read: steal some]

[creepyfreezone]

Oh. Why are all sayings so weird?

They're everywhere, so it shouldn't be hard to find any.

[klutziness]

Uh... 'cause the people who made 'em up were weird? I dunno.

Good!
