[ Hello, train, Tidus on the screen, and the call is coming from (inside the house) inside the cinema car. Fortunately, when no one's watching any movies.

He gives a fake cough, hand up to his mouth to go with it. ]

Ahem. So! I don't have any muffins or a guy-cute face like Ryo's, but there is a cute guy I wanna talk about, and a vote.

That guy? Is my pal Romeo who's been here way too long. And the vote? Is about the popcorn machine in here.

[ He moves, pointing over to where the popcorn machine sits at the far end of the aisle. ]

Hard to see from down here, but the guy who bought that and buys the kernels? That was all him! And I know a lot of us've gotten fun out of it. So if you have, why not spare a vote to making them permanent? Either that or getting an art car. If you've seen Romeo around, I bet it's been him having fun with the paints!

[ And his mouth draws into a wider grin saying. ]

Thanks for your time! [ He gives a fun little salute. ] And see ya around!

Wow mister Tidus! [A smiling face far too close to the camera]

You don't got to do that! I got lots of points so I don't mind buying popcorn all the time! I'm going to spend some of my points to get loads of votes though! So I can help Madoka get a art carriage!

[blitzcheer]

There you are!

[ And his way too close face. It brightens Tidus's grin instantly. ]

Everyone uses the popcorn machine - they can spare a vote and help out. Then you'll have even more points for that art car. [ Oh! ] Don't forget to tell the train everything you want in the art car!

[myblueskies]

That will be good! If everyone works together I bet we can get all the things in no time at all! There's lots of us and we all have lots of points!

[So though dividing by five is beyond him, he is sure they will be able to get enough votes eventually!]

We got to get a pool for you too so we can all play Blitzball!

[blitzcheer]

It's gonna take a while - but we'll get there! [ Ohhh. He speaks thoughtfully: ] Think there's a way we can convince the train to give us more votes?

[ Conspiration time, Romeo...! ]

[myblueskies]

Well you can buy them for points! So all we got to do is make more points and we already know how to do that!

[No conspiracies involved!]

[blitzcheer]

[ Come onnn, Romeo!! Do crimes with him! ]

Sure, sort of? We never really got an idea what gets you points. [ Well- ] It's not cleaning!

[myblueskies]

It's teamwork!

[Come on Tidus you know this!]

That's what you get points for! Doing good teamwork!

[blitzcheer]

But what about that time I tried hard with all that cleaning? I even got you to help! I did plenty of teamwork then - I didn't see a difference!

[ Not that he remembers what happened to his points, but...!! People clean more than him, always! ]

I dunno how good our teamwork is being rewarded.

[ Hm! Sounds like it's time to strike! ]

[myblueskies]

Well you got lots of points and I got lots of points. That must of been because we worked so hard!

[He is pretty certain of his theory.]

[blitzcheer]

[ HMM.

Well that theory requires a lot elss thinking, so- ] Can't argue with that! You been treating yourself too with your hard-earned points?

[myblueskies]

Yes, I buy nice things to do art and I bought popcorn and I bought water pistols and I'm going to buy some votes so we can have an art carriage.

[blitzcheer]

Look at you! You buy more than me.

[ Though, ah-! ]

Wonder if we'll have a chance to use those water pistols soon? [ Heh heh- ] We should have a test run, right?

[myblueskies]

We should! I bet it will be fun!" He grinned, "We could do it in the rock garden because that already got water so it won't be too tricky to clean up!

[No need in making things a mess!]

[blitzcheer]

Oh, but first! [ He points a finger at the screen. ]

Snowball fight! Then water guns in the rock garden tomorrow!

[myblueskies]

Oh yes! Because if we have a water fight in the snow it will all freeze!

[So it would be an ice fight!]

[blitzcheer]

[ Would it really freeze? ...well! ]

And we don't want the snow to go to waste, do we? The pistols are here to stay, but who knows about the snow!

Think you can get a sneak attack on me?

[myblueskies]

I bet I can! I'm very sneaky!

[He grinned.] But I got to be! Because you're really strong mister Tidus!

[blitzcheer]

And you've got a lot of hiding spaces! I'll have to keep my ears open - and you better be good at hiding!

Second I see you in there, I'm comin'!

[myblueskies]

I'll do my best!

[He grinned.] Do you want to go and play in the snow now?

[blitzcheer]

I'm giving you a heads start.

[ Grinning right back. ]

Better figure out where I'm gonna come in from! You've got five minutes!

[myblueskies]

Okay! I'll be quick! [Like Romeo knows what five minutes is!

But he dashes off anyways! Time to plan his snow attacks!]

[blitzcheer]

[ Five minutes is whatever they want it to be.

Which means Tidus isn't rushing to meet whatever five minutes is for real. He could set a countdown on his SCA, but he wants to wrap up the conversations, then make his way to the stone (or snow!) garden afterwards. Briefly, he considers flipping the side someone would come in from the cinema, but would Romeo really consider that?

There's a 50/50 chance. Regardless, Tidus eventually arrives to the frozen car, arms bare with his team purple kept wrapped around his waist. Eyes scanning the view ahead, and he takes very slow steps.

And, with a mischievous, sing-song voice: ]

Roommmeeoooo. You in here, buddy? Just your pal Tidus!

[ Is there quiet? A snicker? Any sign of one Romeo? ]

[myblueskies]

[Silence. No snickers. No signs of a Romeo. Just the garden, snow. No sign of him at all.

At least... Unless he is paying attention to the ground, in which case he will spot some footsteps in the snow.

Small Romeo sized footsteps.]

[blitzcheer]

[ Things Tidus isn't: a tracker. There's also been plenty of feet coming through here to mark the snow, so Tidus keeps on slowly moving into the car; stopping to scoop up some snow into his hands, eyes scanning the scenery.

Is he behind a statue? Hmmm...! ]

[myblueskies]

[He might be warned by a slight giggle, coming from the side of him though there is nothing there...

Until a snowball flies out the air towards him!]
