[ 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!

That's not doctoring, that's just baking. Only a baker will prescribe you muffins, and I'm not one.

[Despite having just baked. Shhhhh.]

[blitzcheer]

Oh yeah? What, those muffins just appear out of thin air?

[ He will never shh. But also, the above: things that can happen. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

Yes.

[...that straight face lasts for a second or two before it cracks.]

Just because I baked today doesn't mean I'm a baker, you know.

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus makes a face like 'oooooh?' at the 'Yes' - a cross between You full of it and magically appearing muffins, then?'

One that only softens a smidge as they go on. ]

Who's deciding the rules around here? We're on a magical train that takes us to multiple worlds to save and enjoy! We can be whatever we want!

[ Yes, he's adding some flair into this. Even waves a hand up. ]

For just today with all those muffins, you, Ryo, are the baker doctor. Congratulations! You can now prescribe me all the muffins you want.

[ like all of them, right. ]

[Tidus continues the theatrics, and Ryo can't help it - by the time he's done, Ryo is laughing, silently but helplessly. This is absolutely ridiculous, but it's also fun, and they need that right now.]

[He does manage to stifle the giggles a little bit as Tidus finishes - enough to play his part in this impromptu bardic performance of theirs.]

Well if that's the case... [There's a moment of silence as he taps his chin, pretending to be deep in thought.] I'm not in the habit of prescribing things people don't need, and you don't seem to be ill at all. You're perfectly fine! Zero muffins.

[blitzcheer]

What! [ It comes out instant, along with the slap of Tidus's hand on the wall beside the ICP at the-- the devastating news!

(It might seem more devastating if Tidus could stop grinning, seeing his foolery is working.) ]

No! What? How can you do this to me, man? You're killing me! Zero muffins!

[ He's leaning on that hand now on the wall, gesturing to himself in this desperate plea he's here to make. ]

Didn't you say I have a cute face? Doesn't this cute face deserve a muffin?

[ Look? At this face he's gesturing to? Ryo?? ]

I feel weak all of a sudden, doc...!

[ Cue...the weakening voice! ]

[fivemilesdeep]

No, a cute face will get you votes.

[Sass imparted, he pretends to look thoughtful again.]

But if you want to argue your diagnosis, you can always come see me in person.

[He will bend the rules for Tidus, but not publicly. He knows where that leads.]
