Yo, anyone see the large item order we can pick now?

...

What's the biggest thing anyone can think of. Hey, gimme some ideas!

[ LET'S SEE WHAT THEY CAN GET?? PUT IN YOUR SUGGESTIONS, VOTE FOR WHAT YOU AGREE WITH.

Edit: Tidus will have on the video in view a whiteboard (since he's in the standard coach), with a list of choices.

- BOUNCY HOUSE/CASTLE
- POTTERY WHEEL?
- ARCADE MACHINE - Lethal Enforcers, NBA Jam
- YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR MY MOM
- BOMBCHOO BOWLING ALLEY

Enjoy his mess of a handwriting.

Edit 2: Also, very importantly: ] Hey! Everyone! Tell the train to let us buy carriages!

But that's just because it's a bunch of stuff from his world, right? He's talking a lot about his world! And we don't know anything about it!

[ Pointing at! ] It's like me talking to you about technology! ...except he really, really goes on about it.

[ Sorry, Jingyi. Tidus is just a simple guy and you have a lot to say! ]

Other than that, I bet we're as smart as he is.

[ Unlike Inigo, Tidus has no doubts. ]

[agoodsoul]

[Honestly what are friends for if not for getting each other into bullshit? At least these two don't mean anything bad by it. His last best friend was um. Gog was not good. At all.]

Shit, guess I really gotta do it now. Triple? Back down from that and I've got no guts, no honor.

[His back will manage! It's not like he's going to be running all around the train with either of them on his back... right?]

[blitzcheer]

[ Listen to this very put on sigh. A pitying sigh! ]

Dunno - those things might be worth keeping your back! But alright then; who'm I to say no?

[ Let's be fancy about it, the end of Dennis's back, hands lifting in a shrug. ]

But later! I wanna order this...something. You know, that thing I came on here for!

[ You two! ... no, let's be real, it's Inigo's fault. ]

[flatteries]

[ Inigo almost - almost - says that it doesn't matter if Tidus sounds smart while talking about technology, because Inigo already knows the truth.

But even if that's kind of true, it feels way too mean, so Inigo swallows those words right up before he can even say them. Look, he can be considerate! He's being considerate right here and now, dude!

But the one thing he can't resist saying is: ]

.. you really think we're as smart as him?

[ Dude.

They're not exactly the brain crew together. ]

[flatteries]

Wow, Dennis.

[ Please. This time Inigo is the one who's not going to let Tidus escape this subject - and is actively dragging the other guy to be his partner in crime in this. ]

Do you hear that sound? Sounds like someone's too chicken to let a manly man like you carry him right this instant.

[jan_ken_hacking]

Eh?

[Oh? ...Oh. She feels a little bad now, putting that kind of weight on the conversation. But, she can probably...probably? Think of an answer?

The girl goes quiet for a moment- the trouble is, there wasn't a whole lot she got to experience before...well. Going to Chaldea. About 3/4s of a year perhaps, and much of it was spent figuring out what 'normal life' was even like.

She should probably think of something she remembers her friends talking about. Like.... ...Oh-] A costume chest. Not for serious things, but for play things. Maybe the costume chest wouldn't be needed, but stage props, and tools to make them are probably large.

[She smiles.] ...if I'm honest... ...the people at Chaldea did a very good job, replacing what material things we lost. It's hard to think of anything very 'big'. ...Maybe, something like a model car race track or similar would count too?

Late but why not

[gundamofthedesert]

Aside from a building, a planet, or a colony?

Probably a mobile suit, but that's probably still far larger than the train will let us get.

[achickenformylove]

Hmm... I'd aim for something practical. If we were able to get something that would allow is craft something that would be the most ideal.

[At least he didn't say 'mountain']

[blitzcheer]

Hmm, yeah, didn't you say those things are huge? They sounded bigger than the train?

[ Are they? Quatre's the guy who would know. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Thank u, sensible chicken man. ]

Craft something, huh? Like... make things kind of crafting? Or something we can take out and ride?

[ Both are pretty useful. ]

[agoodsoul]

[Dennis can't help but cackle a little at that. Manly man, guess there's a first time for everything, aka being called that.]

S'alright, just have to practice with you first. Let him get on with it, we'll catch him later.

i only find out i get tags when you link threads to other people

[blitzcheer]

Sure! I haven't heard him say anything amazingly smart. He blabbed about his friend's love life over the entire to embarrass them 'cause it bothers him. I know that doesn't have anything to do with smarts, but-

[ ... waaaait a minute? Give him a second. ]

...are you sure that call was about you?

[ He's? What?? Sense?? ]

[adropofsunlight]

I know someone mentioned we could use a small part of the library too if needed.

[But only if she felt like it was going to be necessary. She would like art car very much, but considering what else was usually on offer... she figured they would need to try and convince a lot of people to vote for it next time...

The cute brigade need to assemble.]

I can do a lot of lifting honestly so that would be covered. If not by me than my hair can lift a persons weight so...

[blitzcheer]

[ Pfft. ] How about we take one of those science rooms? Tell them they can use the library! You two've been here longer.

[ Pah. ]

How about this? So I got a clock... and okay, it's not the best clock, but the thing is, you can announce that every other day at...sports o'clock on the clock - it's a clock that tells time with images, [ he throws in, ] -- that's art club time in a portion of the sports gym. There!

And if people don't like it, they can vote for an art car!

[blitzcheer]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. [ Excuse us?? Is someone questioning his MANLINESS? Tidus won't fight about Dennis being a manly man, but-! ]

Dennis can come sweep me off his feet any time he wants! But I've got orders to make and collect.

[ He raises a hand, open palmed. ]

You two can help me if you wanna hurry it up. There isn't even any quick-meals for you to worry about this time, Inigo.

[ Just to remind you of your trauma, bro. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ It wasn't quite what he meant, but you know what? It sounds fun, cute. Both of the ideas, and he folds his arms, humming. ]

You know, let's see what we can do! But a costume chest, stage props - those sound like they'd be fun 'n' doable. And we've got the perfect stage up in the music car!

So you need outfits... and stage make-up? [ hmm- ] If we buy props as a big item, we might get a whole lot of different kinds. Whatever you need to put on a show.

[ Which Tidus doesn't really know about! ]

should i tell you about our other five threads you didn't get notifs for

[flatteries]

Yeah?

[ Please, Tidus.

Would Jingyi really have sat there through the whole rejection without clarifying if it hadn't been about him? Pfft. ]

I asked him who he was thinking about doing the whole dating thing with after all, and he said it was me!

yes

[blitzcheer]

[ Really wondering if Jingyi is messing around with our boy Inigo here. ]

Hmm... well, alright.

[ A beat. ]

We're still as smart as him.

[ Proof: this thread. ]

[happyends]

.. Tidus, did the train give you a kindergarten clock?

[ SHE'S NOT EVEN BEING MEAN, JUST.. CURIOUS..? I mean, what else could a clock that tells the time with pictures be! It sounds like something you'd put up in a kindergarten classroom for kids who are too young to read regular clocks!

But Madoka knows it's not the point, quickly shaking her head to try and get the thought out of there. ]

B-But..! I'd feel too bad about taking up space in another carriage with art stuff.. I mean, people probably want to have fun and play sports without there being things in the way, right? [ Yes. Yes, she really would feel guilty for even taking away half an hour of other people's carriage time.

This is how Madoka works. ]

[flatteries]

Excuse, excuses! [ Inigo's voice is practically a singsong tune at this point.

It's just not often that he gets to be the one on this side of the teasing table. Let him enjoy his upper hand while he's got it. ]

You could just let Dennis carry you and then do the whole order thing afterwards. What's the rush? We can even just help you afterwards!

[ Yes, Dennis.

You have just been volunteered. You're welcome! ]

[flatteries]

...

I dare you to say that to his face.

[ And, for amusement's sake: ]

Sometime when I'm there too! [ Because he just has to see what sort of face Jingyi would pull while hearing that. ]

[blitzcheer]

Sure! I'm not scared of him. [ Unlike SOMEONE. ] What do you think's going to happen? That he'll be offended?

[ Is he that kind of guy? Tidus will fight that kind of guy!! ]

[gundamofthedesert]

Not the whole train... but I doubt my Sandrock would fit comfortably inside one of the cars just based on height alone.

[achickenformylove]

[He is. A mountain would not be something that the train should allow them to get even if it would. There was no room for it]

Making something. Perhaps pottery or a way to fashion items for use in the train or for defense.

[blitzcheer]

[ Oh, crafting crafting. Look, he's got Gundams on the mind. Don't know why! ]

Oh yeah! Rapunzel was talking about getting pottery wheels. You ever worked with them? 'Cause we came up with this big idea with Madoka about starting an art club to get people involved! Aaand maybe swing people's votes to getting a full-fledged arts car?

An arts and crafts car!

[ Hey?? Hey? See what he did there? Sounds even more useful!! ]
