On day Ten of the month of Fiddlesticks the SCA's light up and a holographic screen appears.

It has three options.

Talk to All

Talk to Team

Talk to Individual

For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. The short distance radios in their helmets also automatically connect so they can use their SCA communicators without removing life saving equipment!

Comments

Yuna

[blitzcheer]

[ These things let you talk now?

With the ocean thrashing and the sounds of battle reminiscent to the skirmish that took place on Mushroom Rock, Tidus's voice comes through whenever Yuna picks up. Breathy yet eager, the wind blowing against the call. ]

Yuna? Hey Yuna! Can you hear me? Yuna!

[ He will keep trying as long as it takes to get an answeeer. :( ]

[kabe]

( the call is picked up the moment yuna frees herself from the giant crabs that were after her. she didn't expect to go into battle so soon after arriving in this place, but she could wing it. that was what the gullwings did sometimes.

with a heavy breath and the sound of yuna shuffling about, she finally picked up. )

Tidus, are you alright?

[blitzcheer]

[ Thank someone that ain't Yevon. The storm on Tidus's side is too loud to catch his sigh of relief, but the sentiment carries through in his voice, no matter the heavy breathing while he continues to hurry. ]

Great-- better I'm hearing you! What about you? Are you okay?

[kabe]

I'm alright, I had a bit of a scuffle with a crab. I didn't expect to be thrown into a fight so soon!

How's your Team?

( although yuna is concerned for tidus, she can't help but jab him for ditching their team. )

[blitzcheer]

[ If only he had the focus and absence of background noise to pick up tones; as it is, he's still heading for a better spot for speaking, but he catches something about Team and figures what she means. ]

Blue Team? Yeah, they're managing! We got crabs too-- 'n' things with shark heads and stupid oversized squids! Nothing disappears--it's a mess!

[ He's trying for a joke, and finally, the noise on his end dulls some as he finds the shade of the trees. Tidus inhales, exhales, bringing the SCA as close to his ear while keeping it angled for his mouth. ]

I miss you. [ It's what he's hated most of all being here. There's a heaviness in his chest and there's so much more he feels like he wants to say, though there isn't the time for it. ] We're going to see each other soon!

[ But that--that he'll hope and assure, even if soon isn't soon enough. ]

[kabe]

( for as sore as she was over his 'betrayal' and the fact that he kept calling her his friend to everyone, yuna couldn't help but chuckle softly at his comment. it always seemed that anything in the ocean was always after him. )

Really?

( she paused for a moment, taking in what he was saying. did she really want to get all emotional now, here in front of everyone?

even if they seemed nice, she wasn't sure if this was the right place-

and yet she found herself blushing heavily at his comment. )

I miss you too, I hope we can. I hope you're staying safe.

[blitzcheer]

Me? [ There's a scoff, a jest. ] Safest guy on any planet! Don't you know?

[ All jokes aside, Tidus wishes he had more than a voice. A visual of her, something tangible--a way to cross the distance and just let them be together now. It's impossible, and it's a fleeting fancy; they'll see each other soon, just like he said.

But Tidus still struggles, when he doesn't want to cut them off too soon. But things are too desperate right now, and he's using precious time (that he won't regret) to speak to her now. ]

I...I'll let you go. But soon! [ He huffs, thinking, come on, say something more--! ] I'll-- make dinner for us! Just the two of us!

[kabe]

( she hated this.

hated how distant they've become these past few days due to the events outside of their control and while she was positive nothing bad would happen to them both, it felt as if she would never see him again.

and yet there he was, his voice coming through so soft and sweet. the promise of dinner for them both is enough to send her tearing up a bit, but instead she simply smiled-

not that he could see. )

I know you're the funniest, sweetest guy....and I trust you're safe. I hope you keep that promise.

( with time gaining on her and not giving her any chances, she soon said goodbye, cutting the feed.

after the feed was over, she pressed her face down close to the device and whispered. )

I love you.

( who knew if that went through or not. )
