Hee-eyy, is there anyone on board who can whip up some small containers? With magic or--whatever? Is there anything around? I need to make this--

[ He holds up a filled glass bottle the size of about an energy drink. ...if with a fancier bottle to it. ]

Into about--three! They're megalixirs! They'll make people feel good as new out on missions, magic and all! Light! [ And a smile springs on his face, even if he doesn't know she can hear him. ] I got a bunch of them! --Oh yeah, and Bryn! Yuna! I got stuff for you too! Come meet me in the luggage car!

[ She's still faintly smiling in echo of his when she hits reply. ] Good work, Tidus.

[blitzcheer]

Light!

[ Lightlightlightlight!!! ]

There's a stack of them! You think we should try one out? See if they're the real deal?

[ There's a rush in his voice, an absolute giddy astonishment as what he's been landed with. ]

I've never seen this many! If we split 'em down, we can give most of the train one!

[enthunder]

[ movie trailer voice: this changes everything ]

You wanna test with damage, or with a summoning? [ Since those are the two things she knows elixirs restore, in her world... ]

[blitzcheer]

You can summon? [ Yooo....!! ] How 'bout both?

[ porque no los dos, light? Is that actually the smart option, Tidus is kinda just running on giddiness right now. ]

[enthunder]

Not like Yuna can-- uh, could, but yeah.

[ She's sensing the giddiness. But he deserves a win, so she's just going to put up with it for now. ] Meet you in the gym..?

"Are you certain that lowering the dosage won't make the elixir less effective? I mean there are lots of jars in the kitchen, if you just eat the food out of them first."

[blitzcheer]

"I think I'm gonna need smaller jars than those..."

[ Just saying. ]

"And not these, if they're the same ones I used back in Spira!" [ Even if a graphic for an elixir bottle was nicked, shhh, there are no icons for items in X. ] "You take a swig and pass it on. It helped us in a pinch!"

[grannyofthebolt]

"Some of the spice jars are pretty small? Ah, Elixers were a whole bottle thing where I come from."

[blitzcheer]

"Huh, the spice jars? ...They would be a good size..."

[ Save the issue of the spice in them. ]

"These're the bigger ones! The elixirs were smaller than this. It fit in your palm. I mean, I think they did... but my friend'll be here, she'll be able to say."

IMMEDIATE luggage car action

[draconite]

[ Bryn doesn't even bother sending back a message in response, because she's a horrible goblin girl. Instead, she just comes bursting into the luggage car all afluster with excitement. ]

It's really here?! I can't believe it actually worked...!

HERE SHE IS

[blitzcheer]

[ BRYN TIDUS WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE TERMINAL!! But that's okay, he's just as excited as she is with everything that's arrived. He walks hurriedly with a head half turned to speak, but he's focusing more on where he's walking than wherever Bryn is behind him. ]

I took a quick look, but you have to tell me if it's the place! It's over here!

[ Where a few other orders of his are, a large wrapped bag next to another smaller one, and then a rectangular package on top of that. Tidus picks it up where it rests, pulling it out of its covering and holding it out for Bryn to take. ]

Take a look!

[draconite]

[ SHE WAS EXCITED, OKAY!!

Which is exactly why she's going ahead and snatching the book from him without so much as a "thank you". Horrible little lady. She starts flipping through the book, growing increasingly more excited the more of it she reads. ]

I can't believe it...! This really is the real thing! I don't know how it's even possible but this truly is Seidrfold!

[blitzcheer]

[ SHE'S EXCITED TIDUS DOESN'T WANT A THANK YOU RIGHT NOW HE WANTS DEETS. Which by the various expressions of joy on her face? They got the riiiight boook!! ]

That's great! [ Hey hey if it is (and maybe even if it hadn't been!), Tidus is coming to see the book from her side, letting her however flip the pages as she pleases. ] So you recognise all these places? None of them look different?

[ Video ]

[theturksway]

Damn that's a big bottle.

[Reno probably should have invested in one of those himself, but he had other things on his mind at the time. C'est la vie.]

How many is 'a bunch of them'?

[blitzcheer]

[ Oh, it's that guy. ]

More than worth the price if you can get a hold of them. You know what they are?

[theturksway]

Sure, I used to carry a couple of elixirs with me all the time.

Don't typically see the large ones like that very often. Specially not more than one.

[blitzcheer]

Same back in my world. Don't know if you'll get more if you try asking for just plain elixirs -- I was testing my luck even asking for megalixirs.

[ He'd wonder where the heck they even all came from if it wasn't a headache. ]

We're gonna see if they're the real deal and not something else.

[kabe]

Um....well you know I do have my Alchemist dress sphere right? I can mix things to make potions and what not but...

I don't really have much on hand and they do tend to be random...

( a pause. )

I'm on my way, thank you.

[blitzcheer]

[ Ohh, the alchemist dress-sphere? Well, for now-- ]

We'll talk about it when you get here! I'll be waiting!

[ And he will indeed, sitting on the edge of a trunk with the door in view so that when it opens up (and he knows it's Yuna--it's opened up a few times now) he can stand on cue, a bulging bag the size of a small schoolbag in his hands.

Which he then seems to decide to slip behind his back, as if she hadn't already the chance to see him holding it. ]

Heyyyyy.

[ But does that mischievous tone or smile care? ]

[kabe]

( yuna does not hesitate to immediately run towards the direction tidus is in, her long braid whipping behind her. ever since they patched things up and everything was set in place for them to truly be a couple, she can't help but be incredibly happy and cheerful.

of course she does try and hold back a bit, as shown when she arrives before him, simply waving a bit. she'll pounce him with affection later. )

Hello there. So, what do you have for me?

( don't mind as she leans forward a bit and tilts her head off to the side. )

[blitzcheer]

[ She could make him grin even harder just by being there, and Tidus feels the way the muscles around his mouth hurt in a good way. But he keeps his smile cool, crinkling the bag behind him some with his fingers massaging the packaging. Just to tease. ]

You don't want to talk bottles first? I have a lot of megalixirs, you know. It might take a while.

[ Tease a lot. ]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Megalixirs huh? Nice! Haven't seen one of those in awhile. So ordering stuff like that in bulk worked, then?

[blitzcheer]

Yeah, I can't believe it! I'll probably try and get some normal ethers next and see how many I get. Should help if we get another crazy battle like we did on the beaches back on Gyueran.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Definitely. And I'll have to try and get some potions and stuff in bulk too next time. We get enough people willing to spend points on stuff like this, we might even be able to build up a little stockpile for emergencies.

[blitzcheer]

That's what me and Light are trying to do! It'd help if we knew how this train was judging us for what on those missions--but whatever. Anything you can get and spare, lemme know.
