grasshopper 19, video to all from the gymnasium

[blitzcheer]

'Sup everyone, how's it going? Got a more fun proposal than I last time I was here. [ A grin. ]

So I've been thinking we could run some sports groups! The gym's emptier these days with the training one used for all the fighting and magic classes, and it's going to waste! I don't know all the games they have the equipment for here, but there's a few I've been practising, and I figure we can spend a few days seeing what everyone likes and setting up different times people can come in and have a go.

I got a few friends to help out show some off: volleyball, badminton, tennis. Been practising basketball too. But if there's any you know and want people to get involved with, let's do it! Let's get some partners and have fun. There's hoops and nets gathering dust here.

I'm thinking we could do something around after lunchtime for the next few days, but I'll let you guys know the times for sure later. There's instructions on the ICP too if we wanna try something new once in a while, so come and check 'em out--I can even show you a few games now!

( OOC post about this here! )

Yeahhh, but just think! If Taiki knows how to play it, and he taught me--there's no advantage! Except you get to sweep him away for some alone time.

You don't want that?

[ His tone sounds like he might be suggesting something, but perish the thought, this is a completely innocent idea.

eyebrow waggle ]

[flatteries]

.. Of course.

[ Inigo's tone is so plain. As if Tidus's tone is going about twenty miles over his head. Even the way he looked so flustered a moment ago slowly disappears rather than intensifies. ]

I'd always want to spend time with Taiki.. he's really important to me. [ #nohomo ]

[blitzcheer]

[ yeahh yeahh HE'S GOT YOUR NUMBER, PAL! ]

I can tell. [ And as much as he wants to, he won't say anything more than that. ] So think about how you and him will make a great team! I guess he still won't be up for kicking around a ball yet, but it's something for the future, huh?

h-o-l-d-i-n-g-h-a-n-d-s ]

[flatteries]

[ For better or worse, exactly because Tidus says nothing more, Inigo has exactly zero idea of what's going through the other's mind. ]

That's true. He most likely won't be in any shape to participate with these sports groups initially, huh..? [ Judging by in how rough of a shape Taiki has been since the mission. And even once he can walk around again, Inigo still wouldn't want to subject the poor guy to something intense like sports right away. ] That's okay though. I can wait for him.

Maybe in the meantime I'll have to settle for being a team with you.

[ It sounds like he's trying to poke fun at Tidus, but.. at the same time there's a weird undercurrent of excitement in his voice - because Inigo can't control that like the dweeb he is - totally ruining the teasing. ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Well, that's alright...! Plenty of time to get these two alone and bond and hold hands or whatever.

But Inigo gets a smile out of Tidus all the same, a light laugh as he jests- ]

Me? I thought I was the guy you wanted to take out. What happened to me having the unfair advantage?

[flatteries]

Well, I need to be a team with someone, right?

[ Like one of his best buds! He grins happily. ]

Besides, I'm not going to mind you having an unfair advantage as long as you're on my side. That just means we'll beat everyone else! We'll be unstoppable!

[blitzcheer]

[ What a change. Now they're a team? But Tidus can't argue with that, just shaking his head some. ]

Well, alriiight... [ Hah. ] We'll teach each other then! But you gotta be serious, you know! And I'll be working hard too!

[ With that said- ] Why don't you come down now if you're so excited?

[flatteries]

[ He huffs, as if Tidus has just gravely offended him. ]

I'm always serious! [ Nice joke. ] In fact, I'll prove to you just how excited I am by being there before you even realise it! Don't look, I'm behind you right now!

[ He hasn't moved yet, obviously. Though he does quickly run off after he says that, only to return to the screen about ten seconds later, grumbling as he realises he forgot to take out his ticket. Then the broadcast ends.

.. He'll probably be there in a minute or two. ]
