Good day, everyone! [ Inigo smiles widely. ] I was wondering if anyone either has or knows of something rare and they wouldn't mind it.. erm, losing it.. probably permanently.
[ He's saying that statement as if he's only now realising how weird that sounds out loud.
But it's too late to go back on that now. ]
In exchange for a favour?
And preferably edible? But maybe not necessarily? Hey-- [ He turns away from the screen, seeming to have some mumbled discussion.
This is a totally normal ICP message. ]

[ There's a hint of dryness in Inigo's voice as he says it, sure, but most of his tone is still just very fond after the daze from a few moments ago. Even if it's a pretty goofy suggestion, it's a goofy suggestion coming from Tidus, which instantly makes it better. ]
People might start to get sick of it! No, I was definitely thinking something more along the lines of the flowers kind of crawling up the wall, like there are actual flowers just growing there. Like--
[ He stops, looking ready to show his plan as he's pulling his notebook out of the band, before realising something else isn't in there. ]
.. do you have a pen or anything like that? [ HE CAN'T LET THIS IDEA DIE NOW. Just because he still has a poor sense of what he should or shouldn't be carrying around with him. ]
no subject
Uhhh- [ Let Tidus squeeze his eyes tight and wish really hard! ...and poof! His notebook appears with the pen in the spine, and Tidus takes it out, offering it over to Inigo. What you gonna do with that pen bro?? ]
no subject
Except of course not. Inigo opens up his own notebook - it's fairly unused, but that's not the point! - to start sketching in it. He's not good at drawing realistically, but this is just a quick thing, just a sketch of the general shape of the library carriage and the shelves.. ]
Here, this is about what the library carriage looks like, right? So I was thinking something along the lines of..
[ He picks a spot between two shelves, starting to draw tiny sketchy flowers there, running up the wall and along the ceiling in a pattern. Kind of wavey.
He's like one of those wedding flower designers up in here. At least Inigo looks like he's kind of enjoying himself as he's doodling it? ]
And then dark colours, so it suits the mood of the library! Maybe a dark blue?
no subject
Sure, a dark blue might be nice... [ It's not said lacking confidence, but more Tidus trying to imagine it at the same. And then- ] Oh, what if you do that thing where you use similar colours, but the hues change as you go around the room? Or would that get too light and weird...
[ But Tidus has to admit, that effect can be cool. ]
no subject
[ There's some actual serious consideration here. Inigo pulls back from his rough sketch a little, like he's trying to imagine it. He 'colours' in some of the flowers with pen, like he's trying to recreate the effect despite only having coloured and blank options to work with here. ]
No, I think that's a nice idea, actually. Especially since people will either move right through the library [ on their way to a different carriage ] or will sit around there. So it should give a nice effect to people passing by, but shouldn't bother or distract anyone trying to..
[ Uh. What do people do in the library. They're not exactly the best people to think of that, huh. ]
Well.. read? Or work? [ He may be thinking of Roland with the latter. ] We could try it out by making just a few with different shades of the same colour and see what they look like together before committing to it.
no subject
[ He'll reach over to the selection Inigo's been keeping on his person, shuffling through each of the sheets to find the blues. Thinking as he does- ]
Y'know what's nice too, that's the same idea? Something like...fabric flowers, with the buttons in the middle! You see them on some of the pillows or girl dresses. I wonder if those would pop out too, on a wall?
[ Well- he huffs. ] We'd need some first. These are the kind of projects you could just go in a shop to start.
[ Maybe Tidus just wants to mess around a lot. ]
no subject
I didn't know you were so into these creative things.
[ Or maybe it's just that Tidus can get enthusiastic about most things? Inigo always figured he was more the active type, with his love of sports and all.. Not that he's complaining. It's kind of nice to think about these things together. ]
But if you like the idea of fabric flowers, we could try out making those to see how it'd look. [ A beat. ] You know.
If we could get fabric.. from somewhere..
[ Hint, hint.
Please ask your spider pal, bro, Inigo can't talk to her without crying. ]
no subject
--oh! ] I can buy some! Order a bunch in different patterns! [ Yeah! Hint received, Inigo! ] I might need to wait though 'til the train stop. I already got some things for Roland.
[ He's getting kinda poor.... ]
no subject
[ Should he say it? Inigo stares at Tidus for a moment, his mouth opening, then closing again. Somehow this feels like their most spectacular miscommunication to date. ]
I-- I didn't mean your points. [ Inigo figures after a few moments that he has to say it. He doesn't want Tidus to spend points for nothing! ] I meant you can.. ask. Your friend.
[ Maybe it'd help if Inigo was just direct about what he meant, rather than acting so uselessly cryptic, huh. ]
no subject
Tidus stares at Inigo blankly. ]
My friend...
[ Who...? ... ... ]
... Piccolo?
no subject
He reaches out to put his hands on the other's shoulders. ]
To be entirely honest, often I think that you're the smarter one between the two of us. But right now, you are really making me reconsider that belief.
[ Is it that hard! ]
How many friends do you have that can make clothes and all that stuff, huh? [ IS PICCOLO SOME SECRET TAILOR. ]
no subject
[ LITERALLY EARLIER IN THIS THREAD, BRO. WHY THE SQUEAMISHNESS NOW? ]
no subject
[ Was it really, Inigo. ]
It's not like I would ask you to spend your points when I have some myself! But the whole flowers thing.. that's for everyone's sake here, right? So surely she could help out a little too! [ Just. As long as it's far, far away from him. Just providing some supplies for the Greater Good. ]
no subject
I duuuunnnoooooo, [ he moans lazily. ] Going near spiders breaks me out in raaaaashes. Guess you'll have to go and see her! Oh noooooo.
[ look
right now
Inigo deserves this. ]
no subject
He would sure like to know that, since his jaw just drops at this display. At his sudden call out from his friend. How could you betray him like this, bro? How could you leave him out in the cold alone? ]
Are you making fun of me because I can't talk to girls?!
[ Do you need an actual answer, Inigo?
Is it not obvious. ]
no subject
Inigo knows what everyone means!
[ BIG BABY BIG BABY BIG BABY ALERT ]
no subject
Inigo moves his hands up to his face, rubbing his eyes. He was so not prepared for the baby tantrum. Just because Tidus is embarrassed he didn't think of the obvious answer earlier! ]
I can't believe this.
[ IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO THROW A TANTRUM OVER, TIDUS? OF ALL THINGS? ]
Are you really upset?
no subject
So what?
[ Said in the tone of, so what if I aaammmmm. ]
no subject
[ No, he's not sighing.
He's just saying the word 'sigh'.
But on the other hand, Inigo can't quite tell how much of this is just dramatics, and how much of Tidus may actually be upset. And if there's anything Inigo never wants to do on purpose, it's upsetting the other.
So he slowly approaches Tidus, wrapping his arms around him - if Tidus will let him, anyway. ]
Tidus. Tiiiidus. [ If he can take on a whiny tone, then so can Inigo! TWO CAN PLAY AT THIS GAME. ] I'm sorry, alright? I don't think you're dumb. I meant it when I said I usually think you're the smarter one out of the two of us!
[ He shakes him. Slightly. ]
Come on, won't you forgive me?
no subject
Why should I. [ Said, in his most put-upon pouty voice. ] What's in it for me.
[ hey. hey. ]
no subject
But Inigo is exactly the kind of sucker who falls right for it. ]
.. My eternal devotion and friendship? [ IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU ARE ALREADY GETTING OUT OF IT?
(He's still not letting go.) ]
no subject
...
...
…how much do you think that's worth in points? Forty? Five hundred-?
no subject
[ He sounds so offended. Tidus?! Why don't you accept the greatest offer he could ever make you?
Who cares that he was trying to cheer you up, now you're just breaking his heart!
Inigo is just squeezing Tidus tighter now. In revenge. ]
no subject
Why? Is it worth more than what the train can give? Hey, Jumblie! What do you think? This sounding tasty to you? Why don't you take a nibble on Inigo's eternal devotion and friendship?
[ Hahaha-! ]
no subject
[ Even to Jumblie! That's still betrayal of their friendship, bro! (Jumblie herself seems curious enough though, waddling over to the other two as if she wants to check out this apparent rarity Tidus is talking about..) ]
Do I mean so little to you? [ SHAKING HIM NOW. SHAKE, SHAKE. DEAL WITH IT, TIDUS. ] Hey, hey, you better tell me just how much you appreciate our friendship now!
