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.]

maybe we can both create new versions of this song. i can send you an audio file. it can be our project!

and i don't believe so! i mean i don't know of many 'flowergirls' back home. what's your name?

[ruinedempire]

well you're lucky!!

wait why would people play with virtual reality and stay home when space travel is available? that just seems like a huge waste to me! i wouldn't want to stay back.

Does it probably help that it seems that I'm the only person from my home here? And it's not something I'm hiding either so...

You're not that lucky.

[ruinedempire]

ohhhhh

you did kiss someone

[Rufus will be a little disappointed when Cloud stops responding, but next time. Somehow.]

[vetrarosa]

Yeah it can, maybe you can even get a little truck and drive it around with the music blaring.

I'm Aerith! What about you?

[ruinedempire]

that would be great! get more people to volunteer the music from their world. if enough individuals volunteer, we could create a station that people can access through their communication device, with those songs playing

disney, huh? i'll remember that!

[For various reasons.]

[ruinedempire]

a bit, admittedly i didn't get too far. stopped after a couple of fights. it can be challenging!

but i'd bet all the gil i have that you would win all eight fights! no questions asked!

[ruinedempire]

unfortunately, i don't have a car here, i have to work my way up to that again. although once i purchase one, maybe we can go riding together! i promise to go slower for you. i'll even get one that doesn't have a top, so you can enjoy the breeze.

to tell you the truth, i don't listen to this music when i'm not at the gold saucer. i mean, it would just make me want to go there and i don't have the option here! but there are some other songs that i know that are good to dance to

[ruinedempire]

I'm flattered.

That sounds entirely exhausting, especially since we were both certain who the other individual was.

I haven't logged anyone new from Gaia thus far, but I've learned a couple of interesting things anyway.

[ruinedempire]

yeah of course! we have plenty of music!

i know, you might like something that gets you ready to fight

[there's a small pause before a certain battle theme plays]

[Rufus stares at the text for a good few seconds, wondering if he should even respond. Well, why not.]

what-- no, no to everything! this is the sacred theme of the gold saucer, it's not some 'clownfucker' music!

[angelshot]

too late sugartits.
now everyone knows youre into hopping clowndick lol

so anyway what cult is this "gold saucer" crap sacred to, the children of the candy corn or something? its totally a freaky sex cult isnt it. calling it now.

[foxtouched]

[ That actually makes her laugh a little... ]

I don't even know who you are. Do you invite just anyone to ride and dance with you? (˶◕‿◕˶✿)
We should at least introduce ourselves if you want to make an offer like that. ♡

[ She hopes the emoji convey that she doesn't mind. ]

I am called Kitsuno, Princess of Sawa. Who might you be?

[ Considering the amount of time Peter had subjected the other Guardians to his music taste, this is almost karmic. ]

Ah, I still need to get one. It's pretty amazing that it can do that, even if I am questioning the music from your homeworld. No offense meant, I'm just more partial to rock and pop music. And disco Music. And Jazz. And whatever genre isn't what that song was playing.

How could you not, indeed. [ Peter can sense the sarcasm but it's rather amusing. ] Was this truly out of an unstoppable need to share or perhaps the song was aimed at someone?

[vassalize]

[ It certainly is more intense... ]

Yes, I can see this having a strong violin crescendo.
I have been considering sponsoring the local orchestra to play a concert
filled with nostalgic songs from other worlds provided sheet music can be
adequately recreated.

[detao]

i know that song!

( The fact is, this person appears to have come from Gaia - is it enemy or foe, Tseng isn't sure yet, hence the intentional anon-ish response. )

comes from all sorts of radios down in the slums!

[suspecteverything]

Why wouldn't you just take your own form of transportation for fun instead of going to these entertaining parks of yours?

[Clearly space travel is a big deal where Rufus is from... Not so much in Jules' world.]

Space travel isn't exactly a novelty. It's pretty damn common place in the United Systems. It's how goods get shipped and people move around. Unless you're ridiculously wealthy and enjoy luxury cruisers, there's not a lot of reason to go flying through space just for fun. Besides, there are a lot of groups out there that target individual craft that can't defend themselves.

[His included, sort of. The Tavali, and particularly the Gorts, have some standards.]

[mingyues]

[ well... ] I wouldn't mind but is it not inconvenient for you?

[ this is a trap, isn't it? he's going to walk right into it. ] I might play it for my housemates, they will enjoy it too. I am certain, thank you for your suggestion.

[ruinedempire]

truly, the only person? quite a bold claim to make, maybe you just don't know they're from your world

and i thought you just really trusted me :(

[ruinedempire]

[There's a minute of delay, before Archangel gets an audio file containing the music.]

You ask and you shall receive. It's a good thing i'm really generous, huh? hahaha!

[force_a_change]

I'm not exactly well liked back home, so if someone else from there was here I'm pretty sure they would have said something by now.

I've just met you, so trusting you would be a bit silly don't you think?

[ruinedempire]

olympus, huh? now that sounds like my sort of city! do you know what powers your electricity back home??

but you know, there's someone from my world that you might get along with. she's really into flowers and preserving nature

her name is aerith gainsborough

locked;

[ragingnature]

Are you familiar with Olympus?

Water, maybe? I'm not really sure. It's not like I've gone on a tour of any of the powerplants.

I take it you're not a fan of such things?

[ruinedempire]

i didn't even think about that! you'd have to be in the passenger seat if i do that though!

nice to meet you aerith, i'm mutten. yeah i know, mutten kylegate.

[ruinedempire]

that's simple, because nothing can compete with roller coasters! my car can't go that fast, not to mention i'd get a ticket for even trying that!

so its sense of wonder has entirely disappeared on you? that's a damn shame, if you ask me. something like that should always last! but terrible to think that criminals out there are threatening innocent people's ships
