hey i have something from home. i want to know what everyone thinks! it's one of my favorites

[There's a couple of seconds where nothing is heard. But suddenly, without warning, a rather distinctive song begins to play:

yes it's the gold saucer music

And no, it's not stopping. Not for a good ten minutes or so. Probably best to just cut the feed two minutes in... or sit and listen. Maybe there's a prize at the end for listening to a 10 minute loop.

There is not.

And yes, a certain someone just acquired a Birdbox from the shop and decided to put it to good use. You know, sharing culture from your home world and all that good stuff. He might also be trying to see if anyone recognizes the music, just to take note who else is from Gaia.]

Oh, my apologies. Ul'dah is a city-state in the desert. The Gold Saucer is an enterprise of one of its citizens. I don't know if he got the idea from somewhere or what was the particular inspiration for it, but it might just be one of those things.

[ Maybe this guy's planet is another shard? Wouldn't that be something. ]

I'm afraid you lost me with your talk of timelines. Are you some manner of time-traveler?

[dereban]

That's true.

But it is. It's pretty famous, too.

[ Peter let it on for 6 minutes before giving up. ]

That...sure is something. Not really my style but it's catchy. Where did you even find this?

[ruinedempire]

you're rather optimistic

but you're not wrong. perhaps some fortune is smiling on you. not everyone gets a second chance to live

i mean, think about all the other girls your age that died quietly without ever arriving here

[He might have slipped a little, not keeping up a consistent tone as 'kylegate,' but this topic is more interesting anyway.]

[ruinedempire]

no electricity??

wow your living situation is even worse than a barn.

[ruinedempire]

[Oh, some sarcasm there. Rufus finds himself smiling slightly from it.]

i'm guessing you live out in the middle of the woods or something. you're like the first person i've spoken to that has never heard of an amusement park.

[ragingnature]

It wasn't! It just wans't very modern.

[ruinedempire]

yeah man i would!!

you shy or something? no need to be!

[liveandforgive]

[ Yeah. Cloud ain't having it. S'pecially from some guy he has no idea about. Could just be some ordinary dude who waltzed off the beach of Costa Del Sol for all he knew. ... buuut it's someone from Gaia apparently so, ]

Very.

[ruinedempire]

maybe try sharing a song for everyone in a week or two... :)

but if an amusement park fails to be famous after having a song like that, they must be doing something wrong

[force_a_change]

Best to be optimistic then the other options, I like to think.

[She chuckles a little at the rest of what is written.]

Maybe, but we'll never know because like you said. They passed on quietly.

[Could this Manderville heard of the Gold Saucer from Gaia? He highly doubts that Dio got his inspiration from Eorzea... the tourist attraction was definitely all him.]

The possibilities are endless.

[Some theories that even Rufus doesn't want to entertain.]

Not a time-traveler, unless you count just being on this planet a form of time travel. I've heard that people can be on Prismatica from the same planet, but from a different period of time.

[He's personally met a few of those people himself.]

[ruinedempire]

you know what they say, no rest for the wicked

in my opinion, birds should fly, even with a passenger on their back.

i don't personally own one, i prefer other methods to get around. plus, you could say that i'm not a bird fan, all those feathers getting everywhere! such a pain

[If it isn't Mr. Guardian of the Galaxy himself. He almost feels bad for putting him through this, but almost isn't enough to get Rufus to stop.]

i got a bird box that plays music from my world! lucky, huh?

and this tune in particular is from an amusement park called the gold saucer, the best place in the entire world! how could i not share it with everyone

[ Buddy, Gaia's on the First! ]

Possibly. Do you have chocobos in your world as well? I've heard that's a commonality shared by some.

Ah, I did hear of that one, yes. Some of my close friends are from my past. Not by a lot, mind you, but enough that there's no doubt some kind of magic at play.

[ruinedempire]

oh that means you did go on a date ;)

who's the lucky girl?

i know i can tell you one of my dates in exchange.

[foxtouched]

Some of the winged ones do not— they'll fly on their own but not with anyone else. But there are others who are kinder. I prefer pegasi myself. They're very kind.

[ The winged ones she's talking about may just be bird-people! ]

Do you own one of these car-carriages? They look very intimidating, but I was recently invited to sit in one. They move so fast!

[ She's clearly someone who doesn't indulge in modern life as much. ]

[suspecteverything]

What are these woods you speak of?

2/2

[suspecteverything]

[The second post comes just long enough after the first to let Rufus actually consider whether Jules is being serious.]

No, I don't live in the middle of the damn woods. I actually live on a space station.

And before you claim that's why I've never heard of you parks of massive amusement, they don't exist on any of the planets I've visited.

[liveandforgive]

Awful nosy for a guy I don't know.

[ ... .... ..... unless— ]

[dereban]

Maybe I'll do just that. sometimes, the general public needs some new entertainment that they just can't find normally on Prismatica.

Ha. If the company that owns the theme park for that song didn't do well, I would have been shocked ages ago.

[ruinedempire]

hey hey we're all friends here

okay so one time i took my then girlfriend of two years to the gold saucer. and despite betting on chocobo races and winning her prizes at the speed square, her favorite part was the gondola ride. i normally find it boring, but she really liked it! did your date feel the same way?

[supersoldier]

[At least Sephiroth is adept in the art of discarding everything useless from a conversation, which is unfortunately all of Reno’s reply.]

From Gaia, then, if your recognize my username as my actual name.

Again— who is this?

[supersoldier]

[No doubt that would absolutely have outed him. Sephiroth is already dubious about this to start — there are certain personalities between them all that would pull a stunt like this, aren’t there?]

It’s like being tortured.

[A fragment dry sarcasm, there one second, gone the next.]

My interest in that place is middling. As I understand it, this song plays throughout most of the park.

[ruinedempire]

yes, why wallow about things that cannot be changed. the only thing that matters is gathering those small pieces and making some life with it.

a true shame there's no amusement park here still

but tell me, what have you decided to do in this world? enjoy those things that you never got the chance to? make a group of new friends?
