[When the video turns on, Tidus isn't smiling. He doesn't even appear energetic. Instead, he seems to stare at something else, something that's not there. After a few seconds of that, he scratches the back of his head awkwardly, bites the corner of his lip, and starts to speak.]

What are you supposed to do when you find out you're made up? Hypothetically. And if you knew that if you kept going on the same route, you would-- you wouldn't be there for the party, but it's to save someone you care about, so you would still do it, wouldn't you?

I guess, I thought maybe since it's a community and everything, and there are other worlds and all, maybe someone somewhere has some experience in it.

Cinderella is on here and it doesn't bother her. [That she knows of.]

[swordplay]

Huh? How was she made up?

[makewayforroze]

Tidus? What do you mean?

[swordplay]

Uhh, nothing, Roze! I was just wondering.

[starblaze]

... What do you mean by "made up"?

[swordplay]

Like...a dream. Just as an idea, of course.

[croibhristeoir]

That depends on what you would define as 'made up'. You are present and able to think and feel for yourself, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

Though as for the rest of it, I personally would do anything for those that matter to me. Even if it would mean my death.

[swordplay]

Are they really my thoughts and feelings though? If most of my life was dreamed up, aren't any thoughts and feelings just based on someone else's? Where do my real thoughts start?

Yeah. Me too. I'll do anything to keep Yuna alive and happy. Those stupid Fayth, they probably know that.

...How do you know that? [He just has to. He licks his arm, then makes a face.]

I'd keep on going. Even if you know how it'll end, the journey to get to that point is what matters. Don't give up in the middle.

[andthehat]

You're not doing something stupid, are you?

[swordplay]

I'm always doing something stupid, aren't I?

[soulfist]

You poor dear...

Well, people like me are fictional in most cases.

[ video ]

[swordplay]

It's not--

What do you mean in most cases?

[embersandashes]

I'm going to assume that someone told you that you're fictional on other worlds.

[swordplay]

Not exactly, though I think I would prefer that.

Why, is that common?

[notasinglelady]

I will keep going. Apparently, most of us are fictional in one universe or the other. That doesn't change the fact that you are real in your own world.

[swordplay]

I want to think that I'm real. I felt real enough. But I'm not that sure anymore. Everything seems surreal now.

[tenminutes]

Are you having an effect on the people in your world? Do the care that you exist? Has anything changed since you got there?

[swordplay]

A lot has changed, and we're not even done yet. They care about me.

[number1112]

Just don't do what I did.

[swordplay]

I can't, I have a job to do.

Do you think it can end up the same for me? The way it ended up for you...with your boyfriend.

[the_visitor]

We are all illusions, boy, made up of memories and dreams in the minds of others. The real question is, should you let others memories define you, or will you define your own choices?

[swordplay]

Huh? We are? I want to define my own choices. That can be something I decide for myself. But are they really mine?

[yacantdoitkid]

[Uh oh. Someone's slurring his consonants.]

Who gives a shit if yer real or not? Fuck. Whine, whine, whine.

[swordplay]

Maybe you don't care, but I do! You're--

[his eyes widen in realization. now he's outraged.]

You're drunk, aren't you?
