[See the chipper Al Bhed girl appear, wearing her cadet uniform but with her usual scarf and hair braids. She smiles and waves at the camera, and gives a thumbs up.]

You know what I like about this place? The machina works and you don't have to kick it.

But kicking things to get them to work is so much more fun.

Hmm, good point... but back home sometimes they fall apart when you do that. And then it's a chore putting them back together. The machina here are amazing!

You're Kate? I'm Rikku!

-Rikku

[hawkette]

That's why you have to be careful how hard you kick it. And I'll have to take your word on the machina, where I come from we didn't have anything like this.

Kate Bishop, nice to meet you. I take it you're new?

- Kate

[disasterific]

Yup! I arrived here a few days ago.

-Rikku

[hawkette]

It's sort of freaky when you first get here, but I guess as far as magical military academies go, it's not so bad.

I'd rather be home, but what can you do?

- Kate

[disasterific]

Yep, pretty much how it is... I mean, at least I didn't end up someplace like the Farplane.

[youngnobelman]

The what?

[disasterific]

Machina! You know, in the class rooms and stuff! Oh, the garden is one giant machina isn't it? It's kind of like the airships.

-Rikku

[youngnobelman]

The computers? And I suppose Garden is a big machine (it does function as an airship too).

Touma H. Norstein

[disasterific]

Exactly!

[youngnobelman]

Are they not as common nor as reliable on your world?

Touma H. Norstein

[disasterific]

Yeah. On Spira, the Yevonites taught machina was bad, so all the machina we have came from a long time ago. Us Al Behd were the only ones that didn't follow the teachings, so we know more about them. You can still find a lot still working.

Hi random person!

-Rikku

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Oh right. Signing my name. I ought to do that.

-The Great Jecht

[disasterific]

Jecht?! The Jecht? No way! It's got to be coincidence!

-Rikku

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[Clearly she doesn't remember being hers before... no problem! He expected that!]

Hey! Ain't no one else that can live up the THE Great Jecht! I'm the only one!

[disasterific]

Wow, this Time Compression thing sure is weird.

[have some text smashing] aaaaaaarty YUUUUUUUUNIEEE.

What are you doing here?! Did Time compression or whatever it is pull you here, too?

Re: BBS

[moon_sigil]

I guess it did! Where are you? I'll come see you!

[extraordinarily]

... What's "machina"? Is that supposed to be slang for a "machine"?

Re: audio;

[disasterific]

It's the same thing. ...I think. Wait... yes. Okay... [more cheerful sounding] On Spira all we get are really old "machines."
