[Have Tidus, staring at his PCD and scratching the back of his head uncomfortably.]

Well, uh. That was...

[Weird? Embarrassing?? Confusing??? Seriously, could this get any more awkward? He's just going to...shut off his PCD now for lack of anything else to say.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Tidus walks confidently, eyes not straying, but if he were to be honest this place horrifies him. The death is heavy, almost like being underwater. Only creepier.

Still, after Cerberus is taken care of, he walks up to Hades, arms crossed.]

I saw my end of the deal. Now it's your turn.

Right, right… [He waves a hand flippantly. ]
You returned Cerberus so you get to ask one question. So, what is it? What little question is burning at the back of your diminutive mortal mind?

[Scoffing, Tidus asks the question plaguing his mind for a while now.]

What's the way I can restore my world back to the way it was before the Darkness took it that directly involves me fixing it and doesn't involve me having to wait for someone else to do it?

[Momentary gapping. ]

You really put a lot of thought into how to phrase that question, didn’t you?

[Hmm, thinking, thinking. ]

Since you don’t have any way to permanently defeat the Heartless… its not like it would be easy for you to do anything. On top of that… your world doesn’t really exist…
So, what you would have to do to restore your world is to find and restore the powers of the Fayth. Once they can dream again then your world would be restored.

I think, sometimes.

[He smirks, but the cocky act is soon gone. He's momentarily stunned, and for a fleeting moment the brave face disappears.]

You know about that?

Technically that is a second question… but hey, a freebee.

[So invading Tidus’s personal space to smile at him. ]

I’m a God I know lots of things. Haven’t we been over that before?

[Hades gives him the chills, but he doesn't show it or smile back. He glares.]

Technically Zanarkand wasn't my world to begin with because it's a dream. You know I meant Spira.

You didn’t come from Spira you came from ‘Dream Zanarkand’ there is nothing technical about it.

[Withdrawing a bit. ]

If you had meant Spira… you should have said so by name.

[Even in a carefully worded question Hades found a loophole. ]

[Enraged, he verbally lashes out while pulling out Brotherhood. He's ready to fight Hades for the answers.]

You can't do that!

Do what? I answered your question.

[Some how he manages to sound innocent and maybe even a touch surprised but Tidus’s anger… but he know full well the reason for it. ]

That is how to restore ‘your world’.

This isn't about me!

[He's come too far. He doesn't care. Nearly about to snap, he considers the best way to attack Hades.]

It’s not ‘your story’? That’s refreshing.

[Doesn’t know that in the Underworld Hades is near invincible? This… might not go well for him. ]

Enough talking!

[Really, Tidus is too angry to come up with a good comeback or think reasonably. So he ignores any caution and goes running at the God.]

[Almost effortlessly sweeps the little sword away before it can cause him any damage what-so-ever. As for the boy himself, well a blast of super heated air should be enough to send him stumbling backward. ]

Don’t get upset just because you asked the wrong kind of question!

[Shielding himself by bringing both arms out in front of him, Tidus is hit by the air and stumbles back, nearly falling.]

I got your stupid puppy back, of course I'm upset!

Hey, look, I can understand that. [Bargaining voice. ] But, the deal was for one question… I couldn’t break the rules and answer another important question… everyone would be asking me to do that!
If however… you wanted to ask that second question I would be willing to let you do something else to earn another try.

[Tidus grabs his sword at first before staring at Hades warily.]

What do you want me to do?

Its nothing as involved as finding Cerberus. I just need someone to deliver this message for me.

[A sealed letter appears in Hade’s hand. ]

Who is it you need it delivered to?

[It seems harmless, but so did getting Cerberus.]

There is a girl running around the worlds… [Actually she is a witch. ] … whose name is Icey. Since she hasn’t been staying in one place, well, its not like I can send this via normal mail can I?

Why can't you just talk to her over these things?

Haven’t you ever heard of the art of letter writing, kid?
Besides, some things just come across better in letter form.

I'll do it if you promise to answer the question in the way I meant it.

How you, specifically, can restore Spira from the Darkness.

[Holding out his hand for a deal sealing handshake. ]

Do we have a deal?
