WHO: Percy Jackson and Tidus (!dice)
WHAT: Roommates meeting!
WHERE: Percy and Tidus's room (R-406)
WHEN: Thursday evening
WARNINGS: None so far, will update if necessary.

After seeing the message on the network from the person who had apparently been assigned his new roommate, Percy reluctantly tore himself from the open air observation car and made his way back to his room. He wasn't against having a roommate, exactly, and the guy seemed alright, really. And something he had said (had he said he found out he was a dream?) made Percy wonder if maybe this guy's life had been just as weird as his. Although probably in a totally different way.

Making sure Riptide was safely in pen form before he entered the room, he opened the door and stepped in, hands in his pockets, looking the most he could like a normal sixteen year old boy. Which he could, mostly. The only really strange thing about his appearance, after all, was the grey streak in his hair from the stress of literally holding up the sky, and surely that could have a much more normal explanation. Maybe.

"Hey," he said, holding out a hand to the other boy, "I'm Percy Jackson."

The train itself was a lot different than anything he had ever seen before. The decorations were definitely foreign, as were some of the machines inside, but most were familiar enough that he could fairly easily figure out their functions. There had been some exploring (because what else was there to do?), there had been some eating (because what else was there to do?), there had been some swimming (because...well, you get the picture). By that point, he had exhausted his options and decided to take it easy in the room with his name on the door. Tidus was laying on his bed, feet toward the headboard. He had made a game of tossing his blitzball against the wall and catching it as it bounced back. Kid's stuff, but he didn't much care.

He heard the name shortly while the ball was bouncing from the wall. In one fluid motion, Tidus caught it, did a backwards somersault, and landed on his feet off the end of the bed. (Showing off? Oh, hell yes, he was.) He turned toward Percy and gave a crooked grin, tipping his chin briefly in greeting. "Hey. Tidus." He grabbed the outstretched hand and gave a firm shake. Once he had let go of the hand, the blond tossed the ball between both of his. "So, you have a sword pen?"

Percy grinned at his little maneuver, wondering if he should show him something of his own. But this wasn't a pissing contest (yet, anyway), so he simply shook his hand back firmly.

"Yup, I sure do."

He took Riptide from his jeans pocket - looking like a simple blue bic pen, flipped it around so that Tidus could see it, then with a simple flick of his wrist, the pen transformed into a three-foot long sword of shining Celestial Bronze.

"This is Riptide, or Anaklusmos in Ancient Greek. The sword of Heracles..."

He grinned.

"Cool, isn't it?"

	"So this...'Sin', only kills bad people?" Percy'd never known a monster who actually discriminated between good people and bad people. Or a monster that killed bad people at all, actually. "Why didn't anyone kill it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shifted a little, glancing down at the floor. "Well..." He hesitated. "Didn't have much of a choice. It was either kill Sin once and for all and disappear from Spira, or stay in Spira to be with Yuna but keep Sin there with no means of defeating it in the future. The fayth wanted to stop dreaming, so..." Yet another thing he didn't think to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Huh, okay, back up," Percy said, holding up his hands. "I'm not following. Who are the fayth? And...why did they want to stop dreaming?" He was okay with strange things. He'd heard of a thousand strange things. But these weren't his strange things, and it was taking him just a second to understand exactly what was going on, here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So...you're a dream?" Ok, this was just weird. "Yeah...I...really don't get it at all," he said with a shrug. But that was okay. Percy was pretty sure things in his world didn't all make a great deal of sense to outsiders, either. "What's blitzball?" he asked with a grin. "Sounds fun. Can you teach me?"
