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!

[grannyofthebolt]

"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."

[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]

"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!"

[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. ]

[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."

[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..?

[grannyofthebolt]

"So like, ether bottles. Generally you need an artisan to make those things. Especially with the nice way they crack open but don't cut your hand."

[blitzcheer]

"I do know a guy who might be able to make some..." [ Ugh, but does he want to ask Piccolo right now? He isn't actually properly thinking about this. ]

"I can just store them for now...maybe I'll order some. But we'll be having a new mission soon."

[grannyofthebolt]

"True, but things of that nature should probably only be doled out in small amounts till you either desperately need them, or have a means of making more. The achemical compounds for elixir production just aren't here."

[blitzcheer]

Okay! [ No hesitation here!! ] I'll just put these away and I'll be right there!

See ya!

[ He's not rushing to turn off the terminal, but if Light has nothing else to say he'll be going to do just that; not with the thought that anyone might decide to go snooping for the recently announced megalixirs on board and swipe a few for themselves, but just so he knows where they are later. His room storage doesn't have that much junk in it.

...

(all the junk will get thrown on his bed for sorting later)

But one Tidus will be making his way to the gym in time, holding a bag closed by the fist at the top, his sword (fortunately) on his back.

light light where is light!! ]

[blitzcheer]

"Yeah. I mean, I'm surprised I even got these ones. I've never seen this many of any elixir. It was kinda a test to see what the train would even give me, you know?"

[ Hmmm, he is trying to think about this! ]

"How do you think we should handle it? We've been making potions--those should be good to hand out to people. Maybe we can give the elixirs to a few people to hand out?"

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...!

[grannyofthebolt]

"I'd maybe prep 3 or 4 elixirs and give them to the team leads to handle. The other stuff... If you can make them hand them out."

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!

[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?

[blitzcheer]

"It's not a bad idea... I'll talk to Light about it."

[ Oh, but since she's here. ]

"You want one if we can get the bottles? You said you used magic. If you plan on going on the missions, I'll make sure you get one."

[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.

[grannyofthebolt]

"While I'm not opposed to having one, its been a long time since I've had to open up to the point where running out of power was a big concern."

She pauses for a bit, "Unless you consider the Emperor, but there were like 20 of us. That guy was nuts."

[theturksway]

May be worth finding out. It'd be nice to have plenty.

Probably a good idea. Don't wanna get effed up on a mission only to find those things are fake.

[enthunder]

[ Light is here!! Odin is also here!!!! He looks a bit out of place next to the table-tennis equipment actually, but really a towering armoured construct would look out of place anywhere on the train. ]

How'd you wanna do this?
