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!

"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."

[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]

"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?"

[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."

[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."

[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."

[blitzcheer]

"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."

[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]

"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?

[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."

[blitzcheer]

"...Suplex?"

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

[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.

[grannyofthebolt]

"No."

She shakes her head, "Anyways, spice jars are where I'd start."

[blitzcheer]

Wow.

He's actually disappointed.

"Spice? --Oh, yeah. Sure. I'll take a look in the kitchen once I've put these away. Thanks."
