[ 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!

No idea! Around here? I dunno - if someone's stronger than me, they can probably wave it off. It's only good if you can distract them before they use a spell again.

[ He waves out a hand like he usually does for magic. ]

You use it to take down shields or that spell I did earlier, where I reflected your snowballs! ... Actually, those should've been knocked back harder... shows what happens when you get rusty with magic!

[ Romeo doesn't get hit with his own snowballs! ]

[myblueskies]

That's how my spells work too! I got to be strong and to believe I can beat them! And know their name... So that's not so good with monsters. Because they never tell me their names.

[Smart probably. But it would be useful if he could bind them!]

If you're rusty though then you should practice more! That way you could hit me really hard with snowballs!

[blitzcheer]

[ Wow, got to know someone's name to use a spell? That's no good. Tidus wonders if there's a way to get around that... but, for now: ]

Well if I'm gonna practice, you should too! You think you could learn some new spells too? If your magic works on belief... then why can't you bounce away attacks too!

[ Isn't that the way it works? ]

[myblueskies]

Oh it's a bit more tricky than that! You got to have the belief and to think you can do the spell and be better than your opponent. But you also got to know the words for the spell and you also got to know the persons name.

[He sighed.] Normally their shinki name, 'cause they are shinki spells but we can use them against other people with their regular name but they aren't as strong. We can't use them against gods obviously. But I only know bind and umbra- that's the invisible one. And there aren't no other shinki here to teach me any others.

[blitzcheer]

[ Hmmm. He's got an arm over his legs, still crouching, pondering. ]

Don't think you can get a book with a bunch of spell names in them, do you?

[ ...he's only about a quarter serious, more helpless-sounding in the question. It's a peculiar system of magic, to be sure. ]

[myblueskies]

I don't think so... In the heavens you had to learn them from another shinki who knew them already...

But maybe there were books... They would have been too tricky for me back then.

[But his reading is much better now!]

[blitzcheer]

[ Well then! ] You read all the time!

[ Ah- ] And you know- you know that guy that sits on the rock in the library? He's a guy who knows his magic. If you need any help, I'll help - but I bet he wouldn't mind helping out too! He's trying to teach me better magic.

[ See? Helpful guy. ]

[myblueskies]

I do! That's 'cause I'm really good at reading now! [He grinned proudly.] Oh I saw him before but I never talked to him!

[He seemed quite strict, up on his rock and Romeo never wanted to bother him.]

[blitzcheer]

Same! He always seem busy...reading, right? Like he's in a totally different place!

[ You get it, right Romeo??? There, but not there! ]

[myblueskies]

Yes! He's always reading but that's a good thing. It means he's really smart!

[Because books make you very smart indeed!]

I'm glad he's teaching you though, is he a good teacher? I bet he's a bit strict.
