The City of Luca~

Mana: *rather amazed by the easy costume change* That's awfully handy~

Rikku: Yeah-huh~ I've also got Alchemist, Black Mage, and... I think that's Samurai, but it could be Warrior...
*Lulu touches her forehead*
Lulu: It's amazing how lightly you take these spheres, Rikku.
Rikku: They're just dresspheres. Nothing special~
*Lulu scoffs*
Lulu: Nothing special? those are the imprints of another person's being, projected by the pyreflies.
Rikku: Yeah, I know, I had this one made after me~
*Rikku points to the small emblem with a treasure chest on it*
Rikku: But that's not why we're here! Mana!
*Rikku turns to Mana*
Rikku: Mana! These two are Lulu and Wakka! Wakka here-
*Rikku ropes Wakka in with her arm, having to jump to do it*
Rikku: -Is the captan of the Legendary Besaid Aurochs~!
Wakka: Well I don' know about "legendary" but-
*Rikku pushes him away*

Mana: Ohhh, so you're the captain. *looks at Wakka, examining him, and for a split second, her eyes flash a pink color instead of brown, but when she blinks again, they're back to the normal color* How do you stay underwater for that long without air??

Wakka: I just hold my breath, like this-
*Wakka holds his breath in*
Lulu:....
Rikku: Wakka, we're not gonna sit here for ten minutes!
*Wakka exhales*
Wakka: Oh, right, sorry...
Lulu: Spira has a history revolving around water. It's only natural that our denizens learn to live in it.
Rikku: Not to mention, the Al Bhed Psyches use machina instead~
Wakka: Bunch o' cheaters if ya ask me....
*Rikku smacks Wakka on the head*

Mana: History, huh? What's the history?

Wakka: Well, look at us, ya? Almost every city is built around water, and even with Sin romping around, we still went around playing in the stuff.
*Wakka chuckles*
Wakka: If you ask me, we're too attached to the stuff, you know?
Lulu: Says the Blitzball Player.
Wakka: Hey, I said "we" didn't I?

Mana: Sin? Um... Do you mean a different sin from the lower-cased sin?

Rikku: Wow, you really don't know anything about Spira at all, do you?
Wakka: Askin' who Sin is... you remind me of another friend.
Lulu: It should come as no surprise by now.
Wakka: Aaaaaah... Anyways, Sin was this huge monster that used to attack Spira whenever it pleased.
Lulu: It caused destruction wherever it went, and was believed to be unstoppable.
Rikku: We proved them wrong, huh?
Wakka: Heh, you know it!
*Wakka and Rikku high five eachother*

Mana: Sooo... *looks at the three, beginning to look excited* You guys basically saved the world? You're heroes and all that?

Wakka: Well, I don' know-
*Rikku interjects, pushing him out of the way*
Rikku: You better believe it! Spira's number one Sin slayers, at your service!
Lulu: We hardly did anything. The credit rightfully belongs to Yuna, if I recall correctly.
*Rikku pouts*
Rikku: I helped out a little....

Mana: Who's Yuna? A friend of yours?

Rikku: Yunie? She's my cousin, and my best friend~
Wakka: Yuna's something else. You should meet her yourself.
Rikku: Oh, yeah! After Luca, we should go to the Zanarkand Ruins and meet up with her!
Lulu: She's there again?
*Rikku shrugs*
Rikku: It helps her cope, you know?
Lulu: It's been two years. She has to grow past it.
Rikku: That's harsh Lulu...
Lulu: It's reality.
*Rikku looks down*
Rikku:....I'll talk to her then, when I see her.
*Rikku hops up*
Rikku: But for now! Don't you have any training to do!?
Wakka: Huh? Well, I was just gonna have the boys do a few laps-
Rikku: Not good enough! You guys are gonna have to play an exhibition match for Mana!
Lulu: Rikku, isn't it reckless to make them play, knowing they have a match tomorrow?
Rikku: All the better reason to train!
*Lulu shakes her head*
Lulu: Impossible...

Mana: Oh, Rikku, I don't mind waiting until tomorrow to watch it. I don't want to mess up Wakka's team or something when they play tomorrow.

Rikku: Oooohhhh.... but....
Lulu: Let's just be patient about it.
*Rikku crosses her arms and groans, but doesn't protest further*
Wakka: Don't worry about it, I'll hook you up with some front seats, ya?

Mana: *grins* That'd be great, thanks~!

Wakka: C'mon, me and 'Lu were about to go to the Luca Cafe, you guys should join us!
Lulu: Wait, didn't you say there were more of you?
*Rikku shakes her hand flippantly*
Rikku: They can park the ship for us, it's no biggie~

Mana: *is also dismissive of the others* First rule in Mobius: Slowpokes are slowpokes and can catch up later~ You move at your own pace~!

Wakka: That's my kind of rule!
*Rikku swats him on the back*
Rikku: Then come on, slowpoke! First one there is a fat chocobo!
Wakka: Is that so?
*Rikku takes off running, and Wakka follows after her, leaving Lulu to shake her head incredulously*
Lulu: Impossible....

Mana: *destroys any possibility of creating a mature first impression around Lulu and runs off after the two* Waaaait! What's a chocobo??

*Lulu laughs quietly to herself, and then looks down at Vidina*
Lulu: Please tell me you'll be quieter....

*The group eventually ends up at the center of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Wakka seems to be looking around*
Wakka: Where'd that girl get to...?

Mana: *looks around at the plaza in awe and excitement* It's gorgeous~! *suddenly blinks and stares at a certain spot for awhile, as if she sees someone* ...?

*Rikku suddenly drops down on Mana*
Rikku: Isn't it~?
*Wakka hops back*
Wakka: Don't go givin' people heart attacks like that, ya!
*Rikku waves him away*
Rikku: Yeah yeah~ Mana doesn't mind, right Mana~?

Mana: *blinks suddenly, as if he vision clears, and then grins* Nope~!

Rikku: See?
Wakka: Baaaah...
*Rikku twirls around Mana and starts running forward*
Rikku: Come on, goat boy! I'll pick ya' up a nice bottle of happy!
*Rikku begins walking, but a group of suspicious lights behind forming far above her head*

Mana: *tilts her head in confusion at the lights* Hey, ah, Rikku?
