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!

We looking for something useful or something more fun like? Cause if we're thinking fun... maybe a like one of them bounce houses?

[One that can never break or deflate if possible. If not it'll last exactly .01 seconds before some fool puts a hole in it.]

[blitzcheer]

I don't have restrictions. Fun, useful, weird -

[ But. ]

Explain a bounce house to me?

[ Guess who missed out on bouncy-related joys in his life. ]

[agoodsoul]

[He's never had the joy of playing in one either, but he's seen them. Seems like the train needs fun, it could be interesting?]

Right so, imagine like, a house or castle or whatever but it's just all made out of a big balloon you can jump on?

[... sure that works.]

People rent em for parties for kids or fairs and stuff.

[blitzcheer]

[ That gives a scoff of a laugh out of Tidus. ]

Okay. So that's the best/worst way of having a giant air-balloon sleepover again. [ Sleepover in a bouncy house- ]

It's going on the list! ... [ And since he happens to be in the standard coach, he's looking around... and aha!

He brings a white board in view and writes it up.

BOUNCY HOUSE/CASTLE ]

[agoodsoul]

At least it won't be in the air?

[That's a plus!]

Trying to think of other stuff and s'not easy. Feels like skies the limit, right? Too many options makes it so hard.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah! Train could've given us some ideas first before sticking it on. I guess...I could buy a pool? Stick it in the sports gym?

... But a whole car pool's way more fun. [ sooo. ]

[agoodsoul]

Definitely prefer a whole train car pool. Look if it means anything, anytime it comes up I'm voting pool.

[Cause he knows his buddy pal Tidus would like it.]

[blitzcheer]

Oh, [ oh! ] cool! I've been voting for the art car, 'cause, well... Rome and Madok's really want one. ...but I did vote for pool last time...

[ Since Inigo voted for a pool for him.

Voting time is always just a big pain to him. ]

[agoodsoul]

So you saying I should toss in my next vote for an art car then? My vote can be swayed for those in need.

[Honestly he doesn't care either way, but if his vote could help-!]

How ridiculous would it be if we bought a firetruck? Bet Inigo would really like seeing it.

[blitzcheer]

...let's give the kids a bunch of art stuff and focus on pool. Then try really hard to give them an art car. Sound cool?

[ Because, you know... you can buy art supplies, but you can't buy a (good) pool!! ]

Can you fit a firetruck on a train?

[agoodsoul]

Aces, pool it is then. S'good plan I think.

[One thing at a time. Plus the kids would like the pool too, right?]

Uhh... probably in the gym, but might just be better to get a model firetruck, not sure how useful a full sized one would be for the train.

[blitzcheer]

[ A model firetruck? He glances to the side, struck with a thought. ]

I wonder if I can a model blitz sphere? [ But there's a pause, and he huffs a laugh as he looks back. ]

Does buying a toy sports pool sound sad?

[ It sounds kinda sad to him. ]

[agoodsoul]

Don't see why not? Real good models are super accurate and very detailed. Bet Inigo would love em.

[Cause Inigo always seemed so interested in that kind of stuff, things from other worlds.]

Nah, just sounds like you miss being able to do your thing.

[blitzcheer]

[ He opens his mouth like he wants to say something, his expression complicated, like there's an argument, whether or not it's really directed at Dennis.

But instead he turns it into a light chuckle, pulls a grin for the screen. ]

If I get Inigo anything, I can't let him know what it is 'til it's here. I know he's listening right now!

[ Calling you out, Inigo!! ]

[agoodsoul]

[Dennis wonders if he's said something wrong, until Tidus explains and he shakes his head.]

Maybe if we whisper he won't hear?

[Now he's just being a little shit.]

[blitzcheer]

[ Ohhh, whisper time! Tidus will join in. ]

Cool, cool. How about a tiny dragon?

[flatteries]

[ Out of nowhere - or, well, technically out of nowhere, since there's no way these two didn't expect Inigo to just pipe up - and with just way too much volume to be appropriate across the ICPs: ]

WHAT'S A FIRETRUCK?

[ That'll teach you two knuckleheads to talk about him behind his back!! ]

[agoodsoul]

[Dennis actually jumps, cursing before starting to laugh.]

Fucking hell, Inigo- gave me a heart attack.

[He's not mad, it's okay! Just scared him.]

Indoor voice, mate. Firetruck is a vehicle we use to fight fires. Got a big uh... canon? That shoots really powerful streams of water to put out fires. Gets all our gear and us to fires too. Got a big ladder on it so we can climb to higher floors in buildings.

[blitzcheer]

Yeowch-!

[ Inigo got them both with that, Tidus slapping his hands over his ears after he startles, as if that's going to help at that point. But he laughs too after. ]

And here Dennis was trying to treat you!

[ And Inigo's getting upset!! ]

[flatteries]

You guys were talking about me behind my back! That's where the OUTDOOR VOICE COMES FROM!

[ But okay, okay, he'll give it a rest before he ruins the ears of every single person on the train.. Sorry to the people who were resting, but to be fair, these two egged him on!! Just by being themselves!! ]

.. but why did you guys think I wanted to fight a fire?

[ ???

Why else would they want a firetruck for him? ]

[agoodsoul]

Hey, ah-! Mate, it was for good reasons, swear it.

[Can you hear Dennis wincing at the shouting? He's wincing a lot. Inigo please.]

Nah not that, just you seem interested in firefighting, asking questions about it a lot. Thought it could be neat showing you one of the trucks.

[blitzcheer]

[ Inigo is here to blow out their eardrums, is what he's here for. And wants. Tidus leans back at the shouting, wincing once things quiet down again. ]

Inigo doesn't need anything. [ And not just because Tidus is being huffy about his poor eardrums! ] Unless you know any sweets like that candy floss. He loves that stuff.

[ Which, speaking of: ] Hey, Inigo. You get more flavours for that thing? Or whatever you need so you don't run out? Maybe you should go a platform stop without any.

[ HEH!! ]

[flatteries]

[ ... it'll be awkward if he explains that the reason he's interested in firefighting has to do with some other aspect of it entirely now, huh..

Thank Naga Tidus is there to distract from that topic. Even if it's by harassing him. ]

Wha-- Dennis, are you hearing this? Do you see how mean he's being to me, right with you here too? [ Impossible!! ] Tidus, how can you suggest I go without sugar?!

[agoodsoul]

[No please explain, Inigo. We're all ears.]

M'hearing it. Think I need to get you two couples counseling.

[He's shaking his head. Honestly. The both of you.]

[blitzcheer]

He doesn't treat me right, Dennis. He's clingy in bed and he nags me all the time.

[ Welcome, you're the couples therapy guy, Dennis. ]
