llama 16, video + action

[ Hello, ICP video. There's a Tidus sitting on the computer chair in the standard coach when the image pops up, waving up a hand to the screen. ]

Hey, 'sup everyone! I got some stuff from the last mission with Inigo and Dennis that we wanna share with the rest of the train. Some computer tablets, VR glasses, goggles - hey Seto! You can do somethin' with those, right? - and some clothes and whatever else we could get our hands on.

Nothin' like books or music or food. Sorry! But if you like lamps or fans, we got those. [ Ahahaha. ] Oh yeah, and some first aid kits too, if any of the teams want 'em for supplies. And speaking of, Jane told me about these bacta bandages thingies they use where she's from. Like some kind of healing...gel you can sit over wounds? Uh, I got a book on it for an easier time understanding the stuff.

Annnyway, [ moving alooong, ] there's something I wanted to talk about with the last mission and those illusions. I know there's people who know how to work with tech or magic, usually one or the other... well, I don't know anything about making things, but I know there's a lot you can do with the right tools and know-how. And there was some magic and gear that could push back on the illusions. Like a bracer I have, and one of the spells on the manadrives!

I was talkin' with Q'uila - she's a blacksmith that works with enchanting. And I know there's this big chunky book on magic and magitek in the library. Uhh, I've never read it [ because NO THANKS ] but I didn't know if we could... do something? To help with these missions? Create some kinda...I don't know, big barriers when we turn them on, that don't need magic folk casting them! Put our heads and resources together and make somethin' cool!

[ Cool magitek science junk!! ]

A-anyway! [ Because he realises he's really reaching here-! ] If anyone's interested, I'm fine if you wanna check out the bracer that helped with the illusions - even if you need to take it apart. And I know Senku's been checking out the manadrives - that has a magic barrier spell too, and Light got manuals on the things. And I got some other gems and protection gear from my world too! If it'll help. Never know, right?

'kay, well - see you!

[ ACTION: standard coach ]

[ And for those of you who come into the standard coach, either because of the message or just because you were passing through, Tidus has taken up a table with a bunch of...everything on the table. Tablets, pens, folded clothes in different sizes, cute toys and ...cubes?.

And Tidus is sat taking up an entire booth couch, legs folded and playing a handheld game.

Let's play shop. ]
flatteries: (somehow it's never enough)

...

[ Ah.

Well.

There's one problem. ]


Hey, Tidus.. [ Listen to that tone. That's definitely the tone of someone who desperately needs someone else to do something for him. ]

Could you.. maybe ask her then if she knows..?

[ PLEASE. He can't talk to the spider!! You can't make him! ]
flatteries: (the sun rises slowly as you walk)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-08 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
N.. ooo....?

[ Was that convincing? Clearly it was convincing, right. ]

I just thought-- the two of you are closer! It might seem less strange if you'd ask her! [ H-Haha, bro, that's all!

Please don't make him talk to a girl he doesn't know well. ]
flatteries: (you look like you've been)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-08 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Though it may just be only the two of them here for now, Inigo still hisses as if someone could overhear them: ]

It's not the spider parts that are the problem!

[ PLEASE.

Not that he likes bugs much either, but at least he could stab those while freaking out?! He can't just stab girls! That's murder!! ]
flatteries: (for breakfast in the heartbreak hotel)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-08 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Wha-- no!

[ Inigo may be flapping one arm right about now, as if that gesture somehow gives more power to that 'no'.

It doesn't. ]


I literally just told you why I can't!
flatteries: (alone i fight these animals)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-08 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, yes. Of course training starts by not just talking to any girl, no.

It's the giant spider girl. ]


I can't-- I won't even make it halfway through that sentence!

[ Before what happens? Who knows. ]

I'll pass out. I'll die! I will accidentally flirt with her and she will murder me!
flatteries: (it takes a push and a shove)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's easy for you to say! Of course girls wouldn't murder you!

[ CHANGING WORDS IS NICE AND ALL, BRO.

But it isn't going to save him from the wrath of the giant spider girl! ]

flatteries: (tie me to a post and block my ears)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-09 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ BRO?!

BRO. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, BRO. Inigo's expression suddenly looks so (dramatically) heartbroken. ]


Y-- You don't care if I die?!

[ This brotrayal. ]

Tidus, I.. I thought we were closer than that! You could watch a monstrous spider girl devour me and not shed a single tear?! [ Look, at least he's smart enough to immediately point back to the spider girl situation, before they think about the other recent time Inigo almost died. ]
flatteries: (nothing lasts forever)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-09 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm calling her a monster because she's a girl!

[ PLEASE.

PLEASE, CAN WE GET THIS PART RIGHT.

(Even though he might be insulting a whole lot more people by making that distinction.) ]


B-Besides.. it's fine what she's doing for the train! I-It's just that I'm fine staying away from her! Keeping a nice and comfortable distance! [ No girls within two meters of his body, nope siree. ]
flatteries: (aw)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-09 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Inigo could still protest so much.

But the usual feeling dawns: he just can't win over Tidus's sheer stubbornness, the other's power of will. He could argue this until the cows come home and still not win.

So he doesn't.

But he does look pouty, and he does ask: ]


.. Would I get a reward in return? [ Motivate him, Tidus. Come on.

DON'T SAY THE EXPERIENCE IS THE REWARD. ]
flatteries: (there's so much more)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-09 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ !!!

Inigo looks like an excited puppy. One can practically imagine the tail wagging behind him as he looks at Tidus, his expression perking up so easily at the very idea of the reward. ]


I'll do it!

[ .. apparently it was that easy. ]

But you better not forget about this promise!
flatteries: (from misery; take it from me)

[personal profile] flatteries 2021-06-10 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, of course! It's no big deal!

[ .. says the guy who was saying he would literally die over doing this only a few minutes ago.

Realise your power, Tidus.

(Granted, he'll probably feel the nervousness kick in again right before he talks to the spider, but right now? It's just all euphoria, baby.) ]


You know you can trust me, right? I'd never lie to you like that! [ He laughs. ] I'm looking forward to the reward already!
