"Sure," he says. "I assume I can ask people for directions. And yeah, to the first thing I agree, but I wasn't sure what sort of timescale you were on and also unless you need to, like, strategize with me right now – I guess you don't know much about what I can do – I'd probably be best served doing things while you slowly make your way to the next place."

"Prrretty much, yeah. We have a boat to catch tonight, to Luca, Wakka and Tidus will probably help with reconstruction 'til then, and we'll have arrived there by tomorrow. If you need the boat you should come with us, but I guess you can fly there?"

"I can fly, sure, but I don't know what direction and if I can't see it from hereabouts or be pretty clear about where it is, I might get lost on the way. – Obviously not, like, disastrous, 'cause I can just ask people for directions when I get to land or alternatively backtrack and go the long way, but still."

"North," she shrugs. "It's really the only landmass you'll find for a while, and it's the very first city there, and it's very recognisable, what with the giant sphere of magic."

"– Giant sphere of magic that looks like, what, blue-ish or red-ish or just mysteriously glowing? I mean, I'm sure I'll be able to locate it anyway but I'm curious."

"Blue-ish transparent, it's the Luca stadium."

"Not, like, around the whole city, okay," he says. "Unless you have some quick questions to ask before you go, or would like to grill me for a bit, I guess I will go start helping with repairs…?"

"I can grill you later, go help people."

"See you later, then!" he says, and off he flies to go help the people by the shore.

Tidus and Wakka will help a bit but really angels helping with stuff is so much better.

Well, he's glad to be of help and he hopes he doesn't scare anyone with his now-black wings or mysterious magical ability or whatever, and they can stay helping for a while.

Do Tidus and Wakka need to leave at some point to go catch the boat with Kaede, or…?

Yeah, at sunset.

In the meantime, Theo will be a very productive worker and help provide them with resources as necessary and also try to use his newfound slight strength increase to move things around. Not that it helps very much, but to make it so he can hopefully use more spheres in the future.

If people want food, too, he can make that.

They're not short on food but they're really not going to refuse!

So he will keep working for a while! Then after a bit he'll take a short break and– fortunately he does in fact have a phone in his pocket, a nice piece of technology that he has a bunch of things on and he plays a game and eats something.

Then, unless anybody interrupts him, he'll start working again.

People won't react much to the phone, it's not machina of the kind Sin destroys so even if they don't have exactly that kind of tech they have similar enough things. They completely understand taking pauses, and will in fact stop working and retire for the night when it gets too dark.

Well, if they retire then it's probably not much help if he stays around to do things, since he doesn't have proper guidance on what they want.

So he flies away, to catch up with the others. Presumably they're disappearing to go on the boat soon-ish, or if they're already on it he'll start flying to Luca.

They've already gone, yes. Depending on how fast he can go, he might even catch up with the boat.

He doesn't think he should land on the boat – he's not sure if they'll take issue to carrying extra weight, but they might – so if he can catch up with the boat he'll try to see if they're visible and relay to them that he plans on continuing on to Luca; is there anything he should do when he gets there?

He arrives at the boat late enough that it's pretty silent—everyone's asleep.

In that case he will check that nobody's, like, leaning out on the stern or something – maybe they're up late thinking or something? – and if not he will continue on to Luca.

Hopefully the Blitzball stadium will be quite obvious.

It is, in fact. It's dark and quiet, and people seem to be asleep there as well.

And as he gets closer, something shoots at him from the city.

… He will dodge it if he can, whatever it is.

Is it like a bullet from a gun, or like a missile, or some sort of magic projectile, or what?

It is like a bullet. It is much too fast for him to dodge.

There comes another bullet.

Well, you know, ow, but it's not like it's gonna kill him and it's not like it's gonna penetrate much past a few layers of skin, though it does knock him around a bit because bullets have momentum.

Same thing happens with the second bullet. Makes it a bit difficult for him to fly as he intended.
