( he's waving his hands already at the camera, looking a touch harried and with his tailtip visible and fluffed out: )

Hey! For anyone who's shifting into a dragon, or if you do, some advice for flying: don't worry about it. Try to swim, if you know what swimming's like. You're not a bird or a bat, nothing'll flap, so you know. Just keep swimming!

( palms pressed together, he makes his hands "swim" in a serpentine to try and indicate what he means. then nods to the camera. )

Garden carriage is where I'll be to fly with anyone who wants practise. I think it's got to be the void interfering with the candies. It's not gonna last, nothing in the candies is permanent, you'll be fine. Seriously don't crawl into small spaces though, that's not gonna be good if you shift back uncontrolled. Er... and you're going to be nude, so... plan for that?

[ Well, Inigo can't refute that. Jingyi may be naked a lot, but he does seem very well aware of how to handle it. Same with Taiki. Surely these other people will learn to do that, right, even if they might not be as used to the entire transformation business..

So rather than remarking anything on what Jingyi said at first, Inigo just nods. ]

Yeah. I'm already close to there. [ And.. in fact, he might be thinking about hurrying there even faster now. Just in case he encounters a naked person.

The fear is real now. ]

So I'll be waiting.

[jingyeets]

( it is so far thankfully only... a three? five person phenomena, the odds are ever in inigo's favour. not that jingyi says so, he simply nods to the ICP and lifts a hand to wave with a smile. )

See you soon!

( clicks off, and heads toward the carriage in question with his second set of never used pajamas slung over one shoulder. inigo gets the dubious pleasure of seeing the black silk with blue dragons in figure eights across its surface.

he lifts a hand, and then reaches into the sleeve of that raised arm to pull out various slips of talisman papers. )

So you just want something that stops people from entering, or something that warns you if they do? I can do both, and these are easy to set up and take down again as you like.

[ He does seem to need a moment to think about it. The first option would be easier on him for sure, but.. on the other hand, Inigo would feel pretty awkward just locking something from people for an entire day. Maybe he can just cover his eyes really quickly if he at least gets a warning.

Even if he might end up looking like an idiot when it's not a naked person showing up. But it's fine. He's used to looking like an idiot. ]

Let's go with the second one. [ He says, nodding a little to himself - and sucking in a deep breath for Determination's sake. ] .. what kind of warning do they give off though?

[ It's not like he's quite sure what to expect from these talismans. He's never seen anyone use them back home, and warnings come in so many shapes and sizes. ]

[jingyeets]

( he nods, flexing his fingers as he prepares to make the proper seals--and pauses. )

A chime? Like a bell ringing. I'd use one that makes light or something louder if we were camped or dealing with large spaces or stuff like that.

( cave systems, things of that nature, he thinks. )

Did you want some specific sound?

[flatteries]

No, I was more just worried about forgetting to ask, and then not realising the sound was the alarm when it'd go off..

[ Which would be tragic. Tragic, you hear him? Just imagine them going through all this trouble to make sure Inigo can have some privacy away from potentially naked people, only for him to totally ignore the alarm since it's some sound he'd just attribute to the train being the train..

A chime works though. After all-- ]

As long as I know, I can pay attention to it. So a chime's fine.

[ Maybe just give it a test run or something. Just to make sure. ]

[jingyeets]

( Jingyi clearly takes a moment to think about this, then claps his hands together, forming the seals he had in mind and setting them up against the doors. Not the one he plans to leave on door, that's the talisman he spoke of, but a test of the sound, that one was easier to do like this for now. )

Okay, let me know if this sound works, I can adjust it before I leave you with the talisman in place.

( Thus he walks back to the door and steps through, to the accompanying sound of a pleasant, audible bell toll from a small sort of bell. When he pops his head back in, brows raised, the same bell chime occurs, and he looks pointedly to Inigo for confirmation or further room for messing around. )
