Rant: I went and saw 'Spamalot' at Broadway in Chicago over winter break. For those of you who don't know, 'Spamalot' is a musical based off of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. I LOVE THAT MOVIE. I'm a big fan of dry-humor. The play was excellent. My mom and me sat way up in the balcony, but we could still see everything. It was great to see all the scenes turned musical, and there were even some new jokes and scenes that weren't in the movie! I just pray it comes out on video like 'Catz' or 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' so that my dad and brother can see it. (Me and my mom had a girl's night out) I bought my brother a black knight plushie with detachable arms and legs, so I think he'll be alright. It was so great being in the theater. Everyone there (including me) had the script memorized, so people applauded for five minutes when the 'French Taunter' first came out. And he didn't even say anything yet!
Heh. I'm a theatre junkie.
(You didn't really think I just dropped the FFX cast, did you?)
Somewhere in Spira...
The door opened and Yuna turned her head to look. Tidus stood there, half-asleep.
"Yuna?" He muttered, "What are you still doing up?" The weariness was heavy in his voice. With each word, it sounded like he was suppressing a yawn. Yuna felt the tug of exhaustion pulling at her own eyes, but she tried not to let it show.
"Tidus? I want to show you something? Come here."
She heard him mumble something, before he dragged himself forward. Yuna sat at a desk in the study. A variety of books, maps, and charts were spread out on the wooden surface. There was an open window just above her head, with a clear view of the night sky over Besaid Island.
"What's this all about?" Tidus asked, slapping one of the maps with the back of his hand.
"They're charts of the sky." Yuna said simply, deciding to give Tidus a chance to figure this one out himself.
"I figured." Tidus said holding one up and examining the different dots and patterns that were marked on it. "But why are you looking at all of these, when you should be sleeping like a sane human being?"
Yuna smiled and rolled her eyes. Tidus hardly ever changed, he would always carry that childlike demeanor with him. In fact, Yuna strongly suspected that one day he would be an old man still kicking a blitzball into the air as always.
"Compare that chart to the sky outside the window." She said. Tidus held it up to the window, and then lowered it.
"They look nothing alike." He pointed out, slightly more awake than when he first came in.
"You have it upside down."
"Oh. I see." Tidus quickly turned it around. Yuna chuckled. Yep. Same old Tidus.
Tidus looked outside, and then at the map. "They still don't match up."
"Exactly." Yuna said, "The stars are out of alignment. I've been looking over all these books for some reason as to why that is, but I can't find any. This book I was just reading said that ancient cultures took that as an omen of disaster."
"So some paranoid cultures spent too much time looking at the sky. Big whoop." Tidus said setting the paper back down and stretching his arms over his head.
"Sometimes I think the ancients knew more than we did about certain things." Yuna sighed.
"The only ancient people I know about are the ones from Zanarkand, and they sure as hell weren't very smart."
"I'm talking about the people who came before Zanarkand. And even during the time of Zanarkand, many people believed in this." She looked at him gravely, "The last time the sky looked like this was right before Sin first appeared."
The color was sucked from Tidus's face. "Are you serious?"
"I am."
Tidus took in a slow breath. "What do you think we should do?"
"The stars are out of alignment, therefore the worlds are out of alignment. This isn't just happening to us."
Tidus frowned, then it changed into a smile. "You think we need to get the old crew together?"
"That's exactly what I think." Yuna said standing up. "We'll need to call Rikku to come on the airship, and I hope Kimarhi can come from Mt. Gagazet." She frowned. "I think we might need to pay a visit to the place Raphael was referring to."
"That 'White Apocalypse' place?" Tidus said, "Raphael told you not to leave Spira. He said it was dangerous."
"The danger isn't here, Tidus. It's far from here, and I can help stop it. I know I can."
"Do you really think you can trust Raphael?"
Yuna gave a small shrug. "I don't know. That man gave me the chills. I don't know what exactly is going on here, but I can't just sit here." She started towards the door. "We need to get Wakka and Lulu and start making preparations. We have to get out of here as quickly as possible."
"See? This is why I love you." Tidus laughed, following her from the room.
