[The feed turns on, and someone yawns just off screen. Then a hand lazily picks the guide up and flips it around so that the camera is focused on a shaggy haired teenage boy, lying on his bunk and wearing his gym clothes like pjs. You can probably see up his nose again, you're welcome.]I would have mentioned it sooner, but I got sort of tied up in

What name would that be; showin' up on all the lists, I mean.

[turnofftunein]

Uh. Pretty sure I just have to start over, but I didn't really ask.

Shh-choo!

What's the difference anyway? It's not like I can get that motorcycle I was saving for now that there aren't any roads, right?

[whosyour_rikku]

Roads... hallways, sidewalks... all're fair game, if you ask me~

[turnofftunein]

Hah, I don't think the pedestrians would agree!

[whosyour_rikku]

Experiencally, they duck and dodge~

[turnofftunein]

Maybe I'll just save up for a space ship instead.

[whosyour_rikku]

Yeah, I guess that works, too...

[turnofftunein]

I bet they go pretty fast...

[You'll have to excuse him, he's off in dreamland right now, with his very own spaceship. It's a red one.]

[whosyour_rikku]

You wanna hear some special Rikku-insight? 'Bout what happens when they all go?

[turnofftunein]

...What? Did you say-

[Okay, that worked. He's paying attention now.]

[whosyour_rikku]

When people wipe out all the spaceship models, a newer, shinier one comes right out! So if you think about it, it's good people are getting all the ships fast! 'Cause by the time you can afford one- SHOOM!- a way cooler, more advanced model is out for the same price! And then people'll be jellin' all over your spaceship!

[turnofftunein]

[Finally something less ominous than it sounds. He relaxes again.]

Yeah, you think? I guess I couldn't complain about that.

[whosyour_rikku]

[Rikku forgets how powerful and ominous her voice is sometimes.] I don't think- I know!

[turnofftunein]

How long have you been in space for, anyway? [Because all of a sudden that seems relevant.]

[whosyour_rikku]

January's when I got here.

[She twists her face a little in a state of deep thinking.]

Yeah, I'm like less than 1% sure that isn't what it's called here. [It makes sense if you think about it while standing on your head.]

[turnofftunein]

January? Uh, I think it's still the right word. Or maybe the fish just makes it seem that way.

[Why so confusing? Jeez.]
