feeling homesick

Subject: Just talking about home

Warnings: Potential talk of sadness, loss. Nothing else anticipated.


Hey everybody, Rikku here. Coming to you live-ish from the secret pirate base! No spoilers. But it's really not as scary as you might think.

I guess...I was just thinking about home today. Life here's not so different from what I'm used to, just a lot more seas. It's still been weird for me settling in, so I was thinking. Maybe if anybody else is homesick, we could talk about it?

I grew up on an island that was pretty much all desert. The people on the mainland mostly hated us, so we had to build our home somewhere safe that was hard to get to. We're still working on rebuilding it, actually, but...it really wasn't a bad place to grow up. The sands felt like it were hiding all kinds of treasures. And it was so hot that getting to swim was really special!

Here's a picture of my favorite swimming hole. I know I'm not real great at art, but...just looking at this makes me smile, you know?

Sure do!

I have blonde braids and a blue hair wrap and I'll probably wear some colored leather---I'll give you all I can, promise.

[Quite thorough of her! It's much appreciated.]

Noted. I suppose I'll see you there, then, 'mate.'

[Whenever she does make her way to the pub, he'll have chosen a slightly out-of-the-way table in a corner; the crowd isn't terribly thick at the moment, but there's a low din of conversation covering the place, giving it a nice, personable ambiance. He'll be seated with a map and an open leatherbound journal in front of him, making notes as he casually raises a short glass of something amber-colored to his lips.]

[ And in comes Rikku, wearing her warrior garb of brightly-colored leather and a sword strapped to her back. It's important to look tough in a place like this.

She makes her way toward the back and calls out. ]

Hiya. So are you the one I'm reporting to with the ship mechanics?
