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!

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. ]

[flatteries]

W-What's wrong with being clingy in bed?!

[ Maybe under different circumstances, Inigo might have been the one to try and reign Tidus in to try and save Dennis from this fate.

But not when his attention is being very much all taken up by those words. ]

[agoodsoul]

[Wait- wait no this isn't what he meant. Also wait a second are you two actually a couple, what has he missed here.]

Uh-

[Catch him having no idea what to say.]

It can... get too warm?

[Is what he'll finally eek out, looking unsure.]

[blitzcheer]

[ Pffft, Tidus is definitely scoffing behind a hand here, at the expense of both of these guys. ]

See? It can get too warm! And it's like you're an octopus, with all those suction cups sticking to me...!

[ He's making creepy wiggly fingers. This, this is what Inigo is!! ]

Next you'll be asking me to carry you everywhere on my back!

[flatteries]

[ P-Pah! Don't call him an octopus in front of Dennis?! Inigo's face is definitely getting red over here, but he huffs, trying to not engage in this tease war.

Because he knows how this works. He'll lose. He always loses!! ]

Dennis, did you ever carry people on your back for your job?

[ SHIFTING THE FOCUS. AWAY. THERAPY SESSION OVER. ]

[agoodsoul]

[Poor Inigo. One day he'll get a one up on Tidus, then it'll be different!]

No I haven't, but s'possibility for sure.

[Oh, okay. He sees what's going on here. Good diversion!]

What, you think I couldn't carry you? Or Tidus? Look y'gotta be strong to be a firefighter.

[blitzcheer]

See? Now he's dragging you into it! [ Is this really a diversion. Tidus spreads out his hands in a conceding motion. ]

Alright! Go and get back rides! And if Dennis starts sharing our room, I want a warning.

Or you can order a room for the night.

[flatteries]

[ Look at Dennis. A great, amazing friend, who quickly goes along with it when Inigo is trying to change the topic.

And then there's this devil over here, dragging the subject right back by its hairs. How does Inigo live. ]

Wow, Tidus, maybe he wants to carry you!

[ DENNIS DID MENTION YOUR NAME, DUDE. ]

You could totally carry Tidus, right, Dennis?

[agoodsoul]

[What is this about sharing a room with them- look if they're getting octopusy in bed he's not interested in um. Getting in the middle of that. No offense lads.]

Uhh no no, no worries not gonna intrude in your cozy abode.

[Really. It's fine.]

I mean, I probably could. What you daring me to do it?

[blitzcheer]

[ Look at Tidus here - just leading Dennis into a bewildering situation that he can't fully believe, and Inigo into one of his frantic...frantics. As one does.

Which means Tidus is enjoying himself, of course. ]

Yeah. You daring him, Inigo? You know you'll have to be carried too.

[ Even with himself on the line. ]

[flatteries]

[ Don't worry, Dennis. Just don't think about it too hard. Inigo isn't either, just discarding the room talk entirely in favour of a definite, and perhaps once more slightly too loud: ]

Yes! I dare you, Dennis! I-- I triple dragon dare you!

[ Inigo doesn't mind the carrying thing. He can probably handle it without too much gay panic?

.. maybe?

Perhaps.

But the point is, Tidus will have to bear it too. And that makes it all worth it.

(Poor Dennis' back.) ]

[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. ]
