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!

"Yeah? If you're that strong, you should think about going with Red Team. I hear they often get the big targets out of everyone."

[grannyofthebolt]

"I'm not the hero, I'm the one who keeps the hero from running off and doing something stupid. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!"

"That and they put me on the purple team, probably because I was the purple member of the Veritos. Either that or it is all completely random nonsense. Just cause you're a good wizard doesn't mean you don't like some fighty types between you and the target."

[ uhhh hi that's a big guy

And there's no one else here but them: him, Lightning's summon, and...Lightning. It dawns on Tidus then--which it hadn't even on his way to the gym, his sword equipped simply because 'fight' had been on his mind and he'd gone to his room--that he volunteered himself up to a battle with a summon, which.

Wasn't impossible for a guy like him, right? But. Was that what he just agreed to? Was he up for whatever ass kicking this was going to involve?

huh. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ But you know what, it was either offer himself up or Lightning to a butt whooping by the stray thought that he shouldn't go in this alone. And was it worth that--beating up a bunch of them instead of just him?

The almost lost expression that had slowed his stops upon his entrance--a little bewildered too, thanks to the sight of Odin--gives away however, as a certain level of determination that could be mistaken for arrogance or confidence takes a hold of Tidus's stride. Not walking directly towards Light, but to the empty wall to the side. ]

I throw everything I've got at your big guy, and we go as far as I can take! They should be able to handle me, right?

[ He's about to drop the bag of potions, but thinks to stick them in a cupboard at the last second, safely tucked away with the balls. Tidus turns back on his heel then, properly facing the pair as he comes closer within their proximity. ]

Sound good with your friend? I'm tougher than I look, you know!

[ time to get cocky at the aeon ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Sounds like Sakura's got some babysitting issues...! ]

"Well, uh... I'm Purple too, but I went with Blue last time. And if you fight from afar, that's still plenty of people between you and the target, right?"

[grannyofthebolt]

Don't even get her started on the babysitting issues. She's known too many knights that run off when they get stupid ideas in their brains and need support so they don't die horribly.

"Probably has to do with the team leads. We'll see who gets what when we hit the ground next time I guess. Honestly though, if there is a 'Sits on the beach and drinks little drinks with umbrellas in them' team, I want to try that one for once."

[blitzcheer]

Ugh, considering how many there are...

[ ...now he's kinda worried, thanks?? ]

You tried ordering anything from your world?

[blitzcheer]

"Think the only team that got close to that was Blue last mission. We had access to the beach. ... And most of the angry sea life."

Close enough??

"The team leads don't have anything to do with the teams though. Or who goes on where? They're just there to try and keep track of things."

[grannyofthebolt]

"Honestly, I'm still trying to figure this place out. Part of me wonders if team assignment isn't someone letting a chocobo run into a field and each team gets a part of it."

[blitzcheer]

"To be honest? It probably is. You got Purples and Oranges packed, and then Blues and Reds half the size. And Purple and Blue's jobs don't sound that different from what I've read, so." There's a shrug.

"I'm the one doing the job anyway. If whoever's running the train's got a problem, they'll have to come and tell me."

[grannyofthebolt]

"Maybe I should go looking for some greens next mission to give the Blue and Red teams then."

"This whole thing seems like an exercise in ordered chaos. Some structures are really rigid, like showing up in my bed even if I'm not tired, others... No one really cares."

[blitzcheer]

"Maybe...all void-travelling trains do that?"

It's the most reaching of guesses. Tidus has no clue. Does it make sense? Does a flying train make sense?

[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?

[grannyofthebolt]

"I can't say, I've never been on a void traveling train before. Truth be told the only train I've been on was one that a vision had to suplex cause it was a bit too murdery."

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]

"...Suplex?"

....is there another meaning for suplex than Tidus knows because he's trying to think here, but.

[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? ]

[grannyofthebolt]

"Yeah, the wrestling move. Don't ask. I was there and I still don't want to believe it."

[blitzcheer]

...


"...Is that the weirdest thing you've seen?"

He's tentatively asking because does he want to know the answer.

[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. ]

[kabe]

( and what a tease he was-

an adorable tease that she didn't mind acting all flustered around. )

Oh right, I'm sorry for getting off track. So, if you're tempted to try your luck, I can take two of those bottles and mix them together. Usually I've gotten this thing called 'final elixir' but we might get lucky and get something better.

[blitzcheer]

[ Nooo, Yuna, don't actually go along with it so well! ]

Heyhey hey, I don't really wanna talk business! Okay, you got me. [ He's too weak and he doesn't want to make Yuna wait too long, bringing the bag to the front and holding it out, ] I can't

Here! I hope you like it. I thought you could use something... home-ly like!

[ And admittedly, he's not too sure if she'll like it or not. But it's here now, so Tidus watches her a little anxiously, rolling his lips, and if she looks inside--please, Tidus will perish if she doesn't-- she'll find a lengthy blanket suitable for her bed made with Besaid textiles, its style and pattern recognisable for what's made on the small tropical island. ]

[kabe]

( was this a simple case of reverse psychology or was yuna truly genuine in her nativity about things like this?

only time would tell.

with a bright smile, she can't help but walk closer and take a seat next to tidus on the trunk. she sits close enough so that their thighs are touching, her hands reaching for the bag. )

I wonder what it is....

( once opened, she can't help but gasp just a bit. )

It's beautiful! How....where....I can't believe you remembered what they look like!
