llama 16, video + action

[blitzcheer]

[ 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]

[ Of course Inigo isn't going to let Tidus sit there the whole time by himself, please. Playing shopkeep can't be that interesting, and Inigo can just be a fly on the wall - or, let's face it, the peanut gallery - in case someone stops by while he's there after all.

But for the moment it seems to be just the two of them, and Inigo is just sitting there with one of the.. interesting.. toys on his lap.

He was there when they took that stuff, sure, but he still isn't convinced-- ]

Are you sure these don't have to be fed?

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus is still going to play at his handheld device, because SOME of US appreciate our handheld games!!

But he doesn't even need to glance up from the game as he replies (again)- ]

I'm sure. [ Heh. ] All it needs is a kid's love and fuss. [ Or something. ] And probably some kind of batteries.

[ That especially. ]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[Nozomi’s quite surprised by what she sees at the coach, having seen his message.]

Wow, look at all this!

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus looks up, pausing his game with a grin. ]

Heyyy, Nozomi. Murder mysteries weren't for me and the other guys, so we took a look around other parts of the city.

[ To say the least. ]

[cureofmanyworlds]

[Nozomi giggled at that.]

I can see! Came out with a lot, huh? At least we got something fun to mess with!

[flatteries]

[ YOU JUST MAKE SURE YOU TREAT THAT INIGO KNOCKOFF IN THE FIRE EMBLEM KNOCKOFF WELL, BRO. ]

Hey, I'm not an idiot. I know nothing can live off love alone! [ .. says the guy who's asking if a toy needs to be fed.

And who is currently poking its little mouth before getting his finger caught up in it, quickly drawing it back with a slight 'ouch!' ]

Do you just put these batteries in its mouth then?

[blitzcheer]

I hope so! [ There's a bit of an unsure laugh. ] I'm not really in the habit of freebies walking out with me in stores. But everything tech should have their wires with them, and free clothes are free clothes, right?

Have a look at everything! [ He motions to the gear on the table, laying his gaming device on his lap. ] See if there's anything you like.

[blitzcheer]

[ He's tempted to say yes and how they crunch them up and swallow them down.

... ... but it's not worth it. ]

I dunno? What about the back? You see anything there? They were already working when we got them... [ Soooo

/shrug emoji here bro? ]

[cureofmanyworlds]

Oh, I will! [With that, Nozomi looks over the devices before her, picking up a pair of the VR tabletop glasses, removing her own glasses and slipping them on]

Oh, wow, so cool... never seen anything like this before!

video for now;

[spikelet]

What kind of stuff? Do you have anything for games?

video

[agoodsoul]

Those bacta bandage things sound like they'd be real helpful. I'd be interested in adding them to our teams first aid kits. For us un-magic-y people.

[Guess he needs to do some homework and have a look at that book Tidus is talking about.]

How goes peddling our wares to the people?

[blitzcheer]

[ ... You know, he's never thought about this before, but- ]

Can you see okay?

[ And she should be able to, but-! He doesn't need glasses!! ]

[blitzcheer]

Hmm, we got some of those VR glasses, but we couldn't get any of the games - they turned out to be stuff you needed to download. [ Boo!! ]

'Cept I think there's some simple stuff on 'em? They booted up a few things, the ones I checked out...

[blitzcheer]

You should come down and take a shift too is how it's going, Mister Medical!

[ or okay, firefighter, but for right now- ]

I'll show you those patches and the book! Oh yeah, and a medical pack I got too! See if you know any of the stuff in it.

[spikelet]

[ Booted up???? also boo is right! ]

Too bad, they were the best part. [ Hm! ] Can I see? Do you have them with you?

[blitzcheer]

Sure, come on over! They've got those ones you see the VR in the glasses, then these ones that make some kind of map on the table.

[ Was that going to be able good? Well- ] If they all turn out to be boring, I know a couple of guys who can make some games out of them.

[ Setooooo!!! Yuuuugi!!! ]

[flatteries]

[ Inigo turns it upside down. Then turns it more, looking at all the sides.

In the end he just shrugs a little, putting it back down on the table. Jumblie appears in a burst of light from his chest, starting to imitate the toy by moving her little arms along with the toy's.. wings? Arms? Whatever those are, Inigo doesn't know. ]

I just don't want them to stop working! Imagine if one of the kids cries because of it. You don't want Romeo to cry, right?

[cureofmanyworlds]

Uh-huh! It's a little blurry, but I can see okay!

action!

[wenyuan]

[Sizhui comes through after the message, curious about the things that his friends have gotten on their trip. As he picks his way through them, he picks up a line of attacked packets. He reads the label and tilts his head, trying to figure out what they're used for.]

What are condoms?

[blitzcheer]

Don't use Romeo's tears on me! I'll ask one of the smart guys about them! Okay?

[ Please, don't stoop so low!! ]

Anyway, everything recharges around here! Doesn't matter where you buy it from. One world, this world, that world... that stuff you never need to worry about! I bet just being in the train'll keep it chirpy.

[ You know. With its train energy. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus takes a quick look at Sizhui, as if he needs 0.1th of a second to figure out, is this guy old enough? And yeah, he totally is. ]

Ohhhh boy... [ And let it be known he didn't figure he was going to be talking about this today, a half-humoured curl to his mouth before he begins, sitting up some. ]

Guys use them for sex. [ Let's take our voice down by just a single notch. For privacy. ] Stops from any pregnancies or mess going on dependin' on the partner you're wearing them for, y'know?

[ Y'knoooow? ]

action!!!!

[spikelet]

[ and there's no response--

oh wait here she is, skidding into the carriage.




Wowwww. ]

Where'd you get all of this? On the world?

[blitzcheer]

Okay, great! [ Phew! Alright, let him sit up here and check out the packaging he left out. Uhhh, which instruction pamphlet was for which glasses...?! ]

You see what you're supposed to be doing with those? I've got some instructions... one bunch of glasses has games and the others have some kind of map-game projection!

[ Was it this sheet...?! Ugghh, this is what he gets for not tidying!! ]

[cureofmanyworlds]

Um... uh...

[Okay, where the heck were the controls here? Nozomi's trying her best to figure out the menu and help Tidus in finding the right instruction booklet. Ultimately, the menu comes up.]

Ah! It's games!

[flatteries]

[ B-Bro, are you trying to say you're not one of the smart guys? ]

.. does it really work that way?

[ Inigo has no idea how recharging stuff works in the first place, let alone with.. magical train energy, or whatever Tidus is refering to here. ]

Other worlds are so.. odd. [ Especially their technology.

Inigo reaches over to gently pick Jumblie up, putting her on top of one of the cat roombas he's activated. So now she's riding it, like a brave little warrior. ]

Though I suppose their stuff isn't all that bad. [ Just weird!! And hard to understand!! ]
