day 14, fiddlesticks ; video from sleeper 6

[blitzcheer]

Hey everyone, how you doin'? I'm Tidus. Been here around since the last stop, and I know there's gonna be another one soon, but I've been itching to ask: What did you do for fun in your worlds?

Back home, the biggest entertainment was Blitzball! Two teams goin' up against each other underwater, giving it all they've got to score the ball in the other team's goal! [ He's grinning, excited even to share that. ] That's a simple way of putting it since I can't start showing everyone how to play, and I wanna hear about your guys' fun.

So? What did you do? It doesn't have to be just sport. Did you have videogames? Arcades? Did you have fighting competitions? Draw? What do you do now? I wanna hear what people are into!

And hey, if you ever want a partner for one of the ball games they have here, hit me up! I wanna try as many as I can. Can't do it on my own though!

Oh! [ No biggy, he's used to this. ] You ever seen a sea boat? One of the really big ones?

[ Let's start there first. ]

[draconite]

Never in person... but I've seen them in books!

[ And then, quite excitedly: ]

Do you mean to tell me that there are things like that flying in the sky? How amazing!

[blitzcheer]

Yeah! But even bigger than what you'd see on the sea! [ Or in her books! ...probably. ]

I was on one before I came here. It wasn't all spacious, but you had different rooms, hallways...kind of like a big house.

Now that'd be more fun to be stuck on. I'll take the ground any day, but if you have to be stuck in something, you know?

[draconite]

It was the size of a house and it flew in the skies?!

[ If you thought she was delighted before, that's nothing compared to now. ]

But how does that even work?! Wouldn't it be much too heavy?

[blitzcheer]

It's all, uhhh, engines and stuff. Machinery. The same kinda idea as the train.

[ ....that's the best he can think of. ]

Someone else can probably give you a smarter answer, but...

[ Oh! Wait! His one brain cell! ]

Why don't you see if there's a movie with one? You can ask people if they've seen any and get a title!

[ That's way better than any nerdy science bull! ]

[draconite]

[ he's making some very bold and very kind assumptions about how much Bryn understands about the train, huh ]

Oh, a movie sounds much more fun than trying to find a book! [ she loves books but she loves a very specific genre of (trashy) book. ] Then I'll be sure to try and find something.

Do you have any recommendations?

[blitzcheer]

[ He's teaching her. 'Engines and shit'. ]

Ahh, I don't remember seeing any... but there's gotta be some! I'll let you know if I find any!

[draconite]

[ this is what we call "the dumb leading the dumb" ]

Yes, yes! I'll keep an eye out as well! [ since it's the only one she has to spare! Funny Joke. ] As soon as I find anything, I'll be sure to let you know!
