[ 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.

But of course Inigo is not nearly good enough with machines or technology to be able to tell. Instead he's just starting to look more confused by the moment as he stares at the thing. ]
Probably.. Do you think we should find someone who's more used to this stuff?
[ Not to disrespect Xichen over here or anything. But Inigo figures that if he comes from a world like Jingyi's, then this is not going to be much more familiar to him than it is to either of the other two. ]

[ To the integrity of the machine. Xichen can make sure the lot of them are safe, he... thinks.
Long slender fingers reach to tug the plug free, safely, and hold it up to show. And then he feels around and presses a few places until there are respective clicks - not cracks, just the clicks of clasps opening - and he almost smiles, pleased that he could manage this much all on his own, and tugs the pads away from the body of the machine. ]
Like this.

( Jingyi comes over to crouch down by him, reaching out for the machine as the pads are tugged away from its base. The sort of handlebar, whatever bar things attached were still connected to the pads, which made sense, but it did make the whole thing more likely to fit through doors without causing frustration. )
Which half do you want to carry?
( He asks Xichen, in the end. )
no subject
.. though he doesn't know what. It's not like he's strong like Jingyi, who's a dragon, and Xichen, who.. well, doesn't seem special, but if Jingyi believes in his strength, then Inigo is sure it has to be there. Maybe Inigo has to accept he's not really stronger than your average human compared to all these strange otherworldly people.
So he does what he can do best in this situation - move so he's out of the way of the other two, so they can move the machine without Inigo awkwardly standing in the way. ]
I'll active the transgate once we're there.
