[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.]

Comments

Yes, we most certainly do.

So, there are other planets besides ours that have chocobos? Do you know their names or who resides from them? I'd like to talk with them someday.

Most of my friends are from around the same time as me, unless you count two years to be a large gap. Other than that, only a couple are much further behind.

['Friends,' which include the Turks and Cloud and his group. He's fine just lumping them all in one group for this conversation.]

[instaqueue]

I see! I've not spoken to any of the others personally, but I've seen talk on the network of chocobos... You'll have to do some digging, I suppose.

A lot can happen in two years! But it sounds like you must have quite a few friends here if that's the case. I hope it hasn't cause much confusion.

[A slight dead end there, but at least it's something to be aware of.]

Oh, we all get along just fine. We've worked out most of those pesky inconsistencies.

Just some truths shouldn't be spoiled too soon for others. That could complicate some matters.

[instaqueue]

Good! That's good to hear.

I've also opted to avoid telling any of my friends too much of the future. I don't wish to alarm them without reason. Changing the past sounds more than a bit tricky.

[ruinedempire]

Certain fates are set in stone, I believe. There's an inevitability to it, no matter how undesirable it may be.

[Perhaps Rufus himself hasn't really lost anyone that he cares about too much, but he knows that a certain flower girl from back is still on many people's minds.]
