Memespam Log; Jecht and Tidus

[yacantdoitkid]

[Jecht is puttering around, cleaning up camp, in an unusually good mood. He doesn't know that anyone is coming to see him, or he'd be more on guard, but for now, he's pretty pleased with how the last few days have gone.]

[yacantdoitkid]

Uhhhhhhh...

[Pretty clear he has no idea what answer you want, kid.]

[swordplay]

Look, just forget it!

[Because it's so weird talking to him.]

[yacantdoitkid]

Kid...

[He grits his teeth] I know you think I'm a shitty dad, I got that. But this was important enough f'r ya to come here, so I wanna hear it.

[swordplay]

[He scowls at the ground, anger and frustration at his own confusion swimming in his voice.]

I want you to quit your pilgrimage.

[yacantdoitkid]

[He stops to look at Tidus.]

S'cuz I turn into Sin, yeah?

[swordplay]

[He visibly flinches, nodding slowly.]

Yeah. I said I would stop you, so here I am. I won't let you do it.

[yacantdoitkid]

Listen, kid... I ain't saying yer wrong, but if it ain't me it'll just be Auron, or someone else. Hell, I quit now, maybe some other asshole makes it and there's no High Summoner Braska at all.

[swordplay]

What do you mean, it'll be Auron? No one has to become Sin. I still don't understand why you did!

[yacantdoitkid]

Yeah, kid. Someone does.

[Jecht watches him.] It's a fucked up system, an' I can't break it. S'why I did it. Ten years've peace gave ya the chance to grow up. You'n Yuna... This one's on you, kid.

[swordplay]

Why? What kind of stupid, twisted rule is that?!

[He's shaking with anger.] What chance? Chance to go and beat Sin so one of Yuna's guardians can become Sin next?! Oh, hey, I know, how about me! Is that what you had planned this whole time?!

[yacantdoitkid]

No, that wasn't the fuckin' plan! You gotta end it! It ain't enough to stop me from becoming Sin, kid, you gotta go to the source.

[He takes a deep breath to calm himself.] Listen, this one's out of my league. Best I can do for you is stall as long as I can... give you a good target when the time comes. As many times as it takes.

[swordplay]

What source?! Maybe if someone actually explained it to me and Yuna, we would know what to do!

So that's it. A distraction is worth throwing your life away now? And how about all those other people who die? I saw them, and I only got a glimpse of what happens!

[yacantdoitkid]

Yeah. It's worth the distraction, if it gives you guys the chance you need.

[swordplay]

I don't need your help! So just give up and find something else to do!

[yacantdoitkid]

I give up, kid, then you never meet Yuna. Sure that's what you want?

[swordplay]

No, that's not what I want. But I want Yuna to be happy.

[yacantdoitkid]

Me too, kid.

[swordplay]

I'm not going to let you become Sin!

[yacantdoitkid]

I appreciate it, kid, more'n you know.

[swordplay]

[He looks down, unsure of what to say to that.]

Uh...

[yacantdoitkid]

Get out of here. [Affectionately.] Go save the world.

[swordplay]

Right. [Scratching the back of his head, he begins to walk backwards. He glances at him.] I said I would, didn't I?

[yacantdoitkid]

Yeah, you did.

[swordplay]

[He gives a half-hearted wave, voice almost flat.] Later.
