Dance the First [Video]

In Spira, people play a game called Blitzball. Every year there's a big tournament in Luca, and people come from all over to watch it and root for their favorite team. It was one of the few really good things we had in Spira. A time for everyone to get together and have fun, and forget about their sorrows for a little while.

I wondered if there's anything like that here? Maybe not a sport, but some kind of regular event where everyone gathers to celebrate and have fun?

I'm sorry, Yuna. Maybe you shouldn't have heard it from me.

[On that note, maybe she should re-introduce herself.]

...I'm Asami, by the way.

No, it's all right! I suppose if you saw me here months ago, others might have as well. And you seem nice; I don't think you'd lie about something like this, though it does seem so unbelievable.

Anyway, it's very nice to meet you, Asami. I'm glad to see so many friendly people here.

Yeah, fortunately the people around here are kind of a perk. We're all in the same situation, so it sort of makes sense.

Are-are things really bad here? I know there's some kind of war, but... I haven't really seen anything yet.

Well, let me put it this way... You do a lot more sitting and waiting and training than missions, but once they come it's like you never had time to prepare at all. You're a healer, right?

[defeat_sorrow]

I am. I'm afraid I'm not very good at fighting, but I'm a good healer. Or at least I try to be.

Do you know about the Clinic yet?

[defeat_sorrow]

Oh, yes. Some man wearing feathers told me about it. I've been spending time there, though I don't know how much help I've been yet.

I'm sure you'll gain your footing there in no time. My roommate actually works at the Clinic; have you met Leonard?

[defeat_sorrow]

I hope so. That's Dr. McCoy, yes? I've heard of him, though I haven't met him formally yet.

[chittybang]

That's right! He's a swell guy. At least, he seems like he knows what he's doing.

Everyone I've met at the clinic so far has been very knowledgable! And helpful. I'm sure I can learn a lot from them.
