[ Guess who isn't used to making announcements over this thing and is heavily trying to surpress some social anxiety right now? This guy.
To his credit, he manages to smile rather convincingly, no matter how much he's sweating on the inside. ]
Hello, everyone..! I'm not sure if a lot of people tried out the arcade back on Diagad, but there was this charming game that involved having to dance..? [ DDR. He means DDR.
He just doesn't know it. ]
Either way, it was a lot of fun, so I got one of those machines for it here on the train! Anyone can use it, just.. please be careful and don't break it? It cost a lot of points! [ He worked hard for those!! ] If anyone thinks that it looks or sounds like fun, but has no idea how to use it, feel free to ask me for help! I can teach people!
[ ...
There's a slight pause, and then he adds with a bit more awkwardness: ]
Ah, and if.. someone could help me move that big, heavy thing.. I would certainly appreciate it.

Well, that's why I said I can teach people! Especially if they're good friends. [ Which Rapunzel is definitely counted among, judging by the wink he gives her as he says that. ] Just come right on over, and I'll let you know everything! I'm sure you can do it.
no subject
[The answer was of course obvious really.]
I don't have much to do since I finished my chores not too long ago, but you still might have yours to do.
no subject
[ It's not even that Inigo is a slacker! Honest. He does his share of the chores, since he'd feel bad about dumping those on other people.. but it's not like they don't have seas of time in this place. They can always do them later! ]
I'm already in the games carriage, since I just got done setting this thing up. So you can come over whenever you like.
no subject
[Much like she was who had already mentioned that she ahd done her part for the day as early as she could. Better to be done and dusted than linger of it in her mind, plus it meant more time in the day to do things too and not think about it.]
Okay, might take a while. I think I have only ever passed through that carriage before, so this will be new.
no subject
Come on, do you think I play these games often? [ He's also not from one of these newfangled-hip-and-happening worlds, okay!
But he doesn't really seem to mind - the laugh is good-natured, after all. ]
Take your time. I'll be here for a while, so I should still be here whenever you decide to pop up.
no subject
[She honestly didn't see it as a bad thing. If it's fun and something to do then thats, that.]
Since I have nothing else to do. I should be there within the next five minutes.
[She went to start walking and right on the money within five minutes she was there.]
no subject
But he still would have liked them, if he would have had the chance to like them earlier on.
Still, by the time Rapunzel arrives, Inigo is indeed there! He's sitting on the edge of one of the machine's arrow pads, smiling up at her when he spots Rapunzel. ]
Rapunzel! You really did come.
no subject
[Rapunzel is all for making people happy and that will always be her top priority. Sure there can be downsides to that though.]
So what do I do?
no subject
[ He rises up to his feet, if not just so he can move his hand to pat the railing behind the two arrows pads in front of the machine. ]
Have you ever seen anything like it before? [ Not back home, he figures, since Inigo knows by now that Rapunzel's world is similar to his own when it comes to the level of technology. But maybe she's spotted it in Diagad too - or on one of the other missions. Inigo thinks this thing looks like Kamakan could've had it too, at the very least.. ]
no subject
ANd this is a dancing thing. Gosh, it's huge.
no subject
Isn't it?
[ A machine this huge is way beyond anything they'd ever have back in Ylisse. The only thing they have bigger than this is probably a ballista, but that serves a different purpose entirely.. ]
But I guess it has to be, if it has to fit people playing on it.
no subject
[Rapunzel herself was tiny compared to certain people since she was only 5'2. But soon she went to step onto the machine before looking over.]
Okay so I know to step onto here and that the buttons are the floor squares, but how do you get a song?
no subject
[ Especially since he figures Rapunzel will be able to figure it out by herself if she's going to play alone at some time. It's not like it's hard to mimic once you've been shown it once, after all.
Because all Inigo does when they're in the menu is use the arrow pads to move around the menu and select a song, and then double tap his feet on an arrow to select.
He smiles over at her. ]
There we go. The song is going to start now, so be ready! Just step on the arrows that match the ones that appear on the screen! [ He gestures at the screen. ] I selected a slow song, so you should be fine, even as a beginner.
no subject
[She already seemed excited about another song after this one. But how that was going to go was anyone's guess. Answer: She will probably pik a fast one with many arrows.
As the song starts Rapunzel was quick enough to pick up how it works and with her bare feet pressed the buttons that were appearing. She seemed to be enjoying herself.]
So...it's hard to lose with a slow song it seems. But I like to think of it as something for beginners.
no subject
Of course! That's why I picked this one first. Wouldn't want to overwhelm you, you know?
[ Even though he has no idea what Rapunzel's true preference is.. please, Rapunzel, don't kill yourself with the next song.
Even though Inigo smiles, and adds: ] Of course you can pick the next one though! We can do whatever you want!
no subject
[It will be hard and she just gonna do what she wants if she can't. Make her own fun or her own dance moves. As soon as the song was over she started to look for the next one. Yes it was a fast song, but not on hard mode just yet. Next time maybe.]
Think you can do this one?
no subject
[ It's not any sort of confidence he usually displays, but then again, he is well aware that most of this game is just for fun. It's more just that even if he can't quite manage to pull that song off, he's sure they will still have fun - just like Rapunzel is saying.
So he nods. ]
Just go ahead and select it! We'll beat this game together!
no subject
[So she was going to pick it and see how things go. Right from the get go the symbols were moving at a much faster pace that as much as her eyes could keep up, her feet couldn't as much. ABout maybe 75% she was at least hitting.]
Wow this really is a hard as I thought.
no subject
But when he looks at her and smiles, he just seems happy. Just playing this, together with a friend.. It's fun to him. ]
Hey, you were the one who wanted to play a difficult song!
no subject
[She wasn't necessarily being competitive it's just it's something new and in her mind she wanted to keep learning. She did well at least as the song soon ended and she clapped happily]
I did better than expected honestly.
