[ Well-! ] Programming's half the work, right? I think Devero said- he'd wear a suit too, right? It'd be too big for the train, but... it didn't sound as big as a Gundam.

But the thing is, if you learn more about different tech from different worlds, you'd have a lot more to work with! [ And even-! He points to himself. ]

I know there were fighting machines where I come from too! Maybe I can get something - a book, anyway. They used to exist before I was around. But we can get any of the tech in them!

[blitzcheer]

... well that's a lot of stuff.

[ Especially that whole 'immortality' part!! ]

You don't have baby, newbie beginner talismans people could try writing, do you? 'Cause that could be a fun class...! Jingyi was telling me how people put their energy in them, and I know a bunch of people who know how to use their energy.

And it'd be a fun way of sharing your passion too!

[ Annnd the kids would probably love making fake talismans, right -- no, let's keep that to ourselves. ]

[agoodsoul]

[No one is doubting your manliness, Tidus. Pinky swear.]

Yeah- don't got much else going on here, don't mind helping a bit.

[flatteries]

[ IS HE SAYING ANYTHING THAT ISN'T TRUE, TIDUS? Are you going to sit there and tell him that he's wrong? She wore a crown and came down from a bubble, dog!

But despite Inigo's belief in what he said, he still visibly gulps when Tidus suddenly takes out that fist. ]

.. are you going to punch me in the face?

[ Are you going to become the bully, bro?! He'll tattle on you to Roland!! ]

[blitzcheer]

Yup.

[ He wiggles his fist. ]

Any last words?

[blitzcheer]

Fiiine, fine! [ For once, Inigo wins! Listen to that exasperated siigh. Siiigh! Listen to what he puts up with, every second of his life! ]

Lemme see what else people think and we can meet whenever. On the platform? We get shoved out anyway.

[ soo, easiest meet-up spot! ]

[flatteries]

[ There's no last words.

Because instead Inigo just moves. Standing up. Getting away. If Tidus just happens to be sitting right in the direction Inigo has to flee in, then he'll just climb over a table or whatever, okay. He has no shame. (Not right now, anyway.)

He'll go anywhere, as long as it means getting away from that fist. ]

You can't get me!

[blitzcheer]

[ Inigo absolutely has to climb over him - or the table, which the sight of gets an amazed scoff out of Tidus, but he isn't about to grab the guy's legs and trip him over.

But just to make sure that Inigo keeps running, he makes a show of getting up from his seat, slamming a hand against the table while there's a fist in view. ]

I'm coming to GET you, you BULLY!

[ But please continue to run away so Tidus doesn't actually have to pretend to run. ]

[flatteries]

Yes.

[ That answer came a little too quickly.

But if this is happening, Inigo definitely wants it to happen in front of as many people as possible. ]

I'll see you guys out there, two of my best friends.

[ Someone sounds a little too excited. ]

[flatteries]

[ Monkey Inigo mode, GO.

Though monkey Tidus mode might just have to activate too. Sure, Inigo keeps running at first, but once he's at the door to the next carriage, he stops. And turns around.

And that's when he spots Tidus still standing there - which makes Inigo decide that this is a safe distance away from the other. Nowhere near enough to let the other plow that fist into his face. ]

If you're beating me up, that makes you the bully, you know..!

[adropofsunlight]

Is a kindergarden clock different from a normal clock?

[Because she didn't have no idea either way. But she at least understood the feeling guilty thing, why do you think she asked first about using a space for art in the first place.]

I'd feel bad too, but if everyone agrees then it's different, right? That's people giving you the okay.

[blitzcheer]

Did it?

[ Tidus has no idea either. Are kindergarten clocks like that? Is that what he got!? Madoka you have the key to this mystery of 'what the heck is with this clock'!

But as for the worrying over nothing portion, Tidus is also in agreement with Rapunzel (with neither of them knowing anything about kindergarten clocks): ]

It's an hour, two hours tops! And it's a big car - no one's got reason to complain. Plus we can put up the middle net and separate the two sides.

[ Pfft. ] Plus, people don't play sports as much as they do anything else. Some just use it as a training gym.

[ Heathens tbh. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Oh? Stopping there, are you, Inigo? ]

Calling me dumb, Inigo?! [ Because he might be stood here, but you know what both of them know reaches a great distance?

The water ball Tidus is making as he raises a hand, growing in size as he pulls it back... ]

Let's see who's so dumb...! [ ...now!

(Please don't let it be Tidus by Inigo calling his bluff!!!) ]

[gundamofthedesert]

It is. And programming is the important part. Does he? I'll have to ask him about it, see if he has any insights about possibly making a smaller suit.

[Yes, you have him thinking about it now. Congrats]

That is also true. It would be good to learn about different technology from other worlds. I'm sure I'd be able to do something with it if I had an idea of where to start.

[achickenformylove]

Hmm... I am not the best with talismans. My sect uses music more for cultivation. However, Wei Ying began to use talismans more so he might be able to arrange something like that.

[Yes they did have some talismans but Gusu Lan rarely did anything with minor intentions. The talismans they did have all had a purpose and a strong one]

[blitzcheer]

[ He hums. ]

You know, Lightning got a pair of books. They're not suits or Gundams, but they're on the grav-cons we have and the manadrives. The grav-cons - they're these devices that fit on one of your hands, and when you activate it, it makes you light as a feather. You can jump high or break falls -

Something like that - would that help to look into? Whatever you make, it's gotta move good!

[blitzcheer]

Music? Ohhh, right! Didn't you use it back when we were on that snowy mission? The one with the town and the dragon - Irivar! We had to help the animals getting stuck in cages!

[ Fire cages. Didn't something like that happen back then...? ]

[happyends]

[ .. Rapunzel does have a point.. and so does Tidus.

Besides, isn't the person who's most likely to use the sports gym right here in this conversation with them? If there's anything Tidus basically embodies, it's the concept of sports. ]

You wouldn't mind us doing it in the sports car, Tidus? [ Because if he doesn't.. then surely no one would. No one here can be more passionate about sports than him! ]

And about the clock-- um, it might be! Since little kids can't read the clock yet, they usually put pictures on it instead in kindergarten, so kids can know what activity they're going to do or where they're going when the hand on the clock points a specific way..

[flatteries]

[ Oh? The water ball is approaching him?

Except Inigo only wishes he could be that cool about this situation. Of course he can't be. He sees that water ball, and he already knows where this is going, and he hates his dumb friends with dumb magic powers bullying a guy who's only got a sword--

Though he knows he can't linger on that thought and stand there forever, or risk getting absolutely soaked, so Inigo quickly dives out of the way, behind one of the seats. ]

Tidus!!

[ YOU IGNORANT SLUT.

YOU WATER BALL THREATENING JERK!! ]

[blitzcheer]

IT'S SPLASH TIME.

[ Fear the call, Inigo, as it rings out through the carriage, and the further apprehension it brings. As in any second, any moment, you will hear the sound of a magical ball of water thrown as a projectile and flying in your direction, the grand splash of water and the debris of it that will hit you despite your best attempts...!

...

...

Annny second now?

Actually, new wait: on how long it will take Inigo to come out from under the table. If it takes more than a few seconds, Tidus will move up the tables himself, climbing over the couches and going from the angle of a big kid than using the aisle itself.

So he can plop himself - quietly - on top of Inigo's table. In wait.

Or he'll be sitting cross-legged on his original table. Either way, he'll be waiting, with the kind of smile on his face that you know is waiting to burst into a laugh. ]

[flatteries]

[ Inigo definitely isn't coming out. He doesn't care how long it takes. He will restart his life, living only right here, behind this seat, for the rest of his entire life..!

But just as he's gathering all of that determination together in his mind, he realises that the carriage suddenly became quiet. Too quiet. No carriage can be this quiet when it has Tidus in it!

So Inigo finally peeks his head out, and when he spots the other just sitting there, his head shoots up - managing to knock itself against the bottom of the table as he does so.

Sweet Naga, that's going to give him a headache for the rest of the day, isn't it. But it doesn't stop him from calling out to the other guy with a: ]

What are you doing?!

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus isn't even letting out a hearty laugh, but he can't stop this chuckling behind his mouth, hearing that thud under him and then the flustered guy below him. Oh hi there, Inigo. ]

What? [ He leans forward, arms on his lap, not close to the edge but capable of seeing Inigo. ]

What do you think I'm doing?

[ tidus is this cat right now. ]

[flatteries]

[ There are now officially too many Tidus cats in this world. ]

You were threatening me!

[ This would probably sound a little more intimidating if Inigo didn't look super flustered..

.. or if he wasn't rubbing his head from the way he hit it against the table just now while he's fully getting back up to his feet. ]

And now you're sitting above me! [ He points at Tidus. ] Explain yourself..!

[blitzcheer]

[ Time for a cool move.

Time for him to lower his head, balling his hands in a fist with his elbows propped against his knees.

And the smuggest face continuing to be worn as he remarks: ]

I like the view. [ HEH. HEH. HEH. ]

Did you really think I'd punch you? Or throw a water ball- okay, [ okay, ] I'd do that for a joke, but.

[ Come on, bro. Pal. Buddy. ]

[flatteries]

Of course?!

[ Especially the water ball part. Oh, he knows Tidus's hands are just itching to throw a big water ball at him all the time. He knows this guy!

But even as to the punch part-- ]

You were being super intense about it! [ .. Inigo's definition of 'super intense' may have been a little skewed by his flight or fight instinct, but he sounds pretty convinced of his own words as he says them now, looking at the other and his smug - actually punchable! - face. ] What else was I supposed to think?!
