imagination 6, video (around w/e you think lunchtime is)
Hey, so, mission time soon. [ Tidus wears a flippant smile at that. Fun, huh? ]
Just wanted everyone to know if you need something to put your food in or drink bottle, there's spare lunchboxes and bottles going in the supplies me, Lightning, and Roland keep track over. We also got some food ready: a lot of it's bear-- real bear, not that other stuff we got last month-- but there's other meat and non-meat too. Plus, if you wanna come and help make more with some of the food we got this month, we can work on that. Make sure everyone's covered. Doesn't matter what team you are!
Speaking of, if any of the teams need any for their groups or food...masters or whatever, you take some too, alright? [ He grins and nods. ] Oh yeah- and you can talk to one of us if you need a weapon, like a sword or dagger, or just a pole to whack with. We have a couple to borrow out, but we'll want them back at the end.
Well, we'll want everything back, but you know. We don't have many, so it's best to see what the missions are first.
[ They don't have enough to lend out willy nilly. ]
Guess this is a good time to say too, [ since he's here already!, ] if you think you can make anything for supplies, like weapons or- whatever magic you have, let us know! Anyone who can help with food, healing, weapons or protection... it's all useful.
And if anyone's thinking about going hunting or collecting materials once we find out more, we have some Arms Bands that'll help for packing away. [ He raises a wrist, showing the one he's wearing now. ] We can show people how to use 'em. Then you won't be carrying anything on your back!
[ He pauses, thinking. Well.. ] That's about it... - oh!
[ His head was about to duck, but then he raises it again, looking into the camera! ]
If you wanna hop around with magic and help out on different teams when they need the extra hands, ask Spider 'bout joining Black Squad! She's cool, and she can send people wherever they're needed! And the more people helping, the easier it is she can move people around!
Okay -- see ya!

[ So Tidus starts, going along easily with that - but then he realises where this has gone, and with a pause that twists him mouth into an unsure thing. ]
Wait, since when did we run the train and have to chase after everyone anyway? [ He tilts an eyebrow, half an amused smile at Inigo, since - listen to them, isn't this what they're doing? ugh. ]
Being responsible's tiring stuff!
no subject
Maybe you should have thought about that before sending out a message like this to everyone! [ Come on, Tidus, you practically called this responsibility out over yourself.
But him complaining about it a moment later is part of Tidus's charm, and Inigo finds himself having a hard time wiping the smile off his face, despite the knowledge of the visions still lingering in the back of his mind. ]
Sometimes it's up to us to pick up some slack, huh? We can't leave everything up to those old guys! They'll break their back.
[ He's not even particularly talking about Roland, okay, he just means it in general. NO TOTAL TEEN REBELLION YET. ]
no subject
Oh yeah? You should remind Roland about that at dinner. Since it's just you and him, [ he lilts. Alright, look, you think he was going to let that go if he got a chance? Sneaking off to have dinner with the train dad! ]
I remember when it used to be me, you, and Taiki. [ Folding his arms. ] Before that old man came into the picture.
[ BACK IN THE GOOD DAYS, INIGO. ]
no subject
Inigo's jaw drops as he hears those words, completely unprepared for them. He quickly shakes his head. ]
H.. hey, it's not as if I don't want to eat with you two!
[ WHAT KIND OF ACCUSATION IS THIS. Inigo may be taking it a bit too seriously - either not realising Tidus is teasing, or feeling embarrassed all the same. ]
I could eat dinner twice, you know! All you have to do is ask! [ How did he go from sometimes not eating at all to suddenly offering to eat twice.. Clearly this is the power the very idea of company has over Inigo. ]
no subject
[ To their friendship?? Tidus puts a hand under his chin, seeming to be appeased... ]
Wait. [ until he lifts his head, shoots Inigo a searching look. ] But who would you eat with first?
[ Huh? HUH??? ]
no subject
[ The truthful answer slips out first, as it usually does when Inigo's brain to mouth filter is completely forgotten for a moment. Really, does the timing of the dinner matter when he's dining with all of them eventually anyway--!
But once the answer already has left his mouth, Inigo seems to realise it's probably not what Tidus is looking for right now.
So, as if he didn't already give an answer a moment ago, he now quickly adds: ]
I mean, with.. you and Taiki..? [ :D? Is that the answer? ]
no subject
[ Look at this, Tidus (pretending to) giving this serious thought. ]
First sounds like the best deal... but aren't all you doing then is thinking about when you'll be having that meal with Roland? You'll just hurry up so you can rush off and hang out with him! You won't enjoy eating with us at all!
[ And listen to how not cool that is, Inigo! Listen to it! ]
I don't know! [ nope nope nope, he's not sure he likes this answer! ]
no subject
How come Inigo suddenly can't win when it comes to this! He bets that even if he switches his answer around, Tidus will still somehow find fault with it, but.. he has to at least try, right? Even if he's walking right into a trap! ]
T-- Then I'll just eat with Roland first, and with you two later! How's that?
no subject
[ It's back. Is this the last time that Tidus's thinking hum shall be heard? ]
But- [ EXCEPT!! ] -if you eat with Roland first, you'll be too full up and tired to pay attention to us! You'll just want to go to bed!
[ Why would you do this to them, Inigo! ]
Now what? Are we just second place to you?
[ Are you going to look at him and tell him he's SECOND PLACE? ]
no subject
Why are you making me lose no matter what I pick, huh?!
[ He won't stand for this any longer! Even when it breaks his heart that Tidus implies that the two of them could ever be second place in Inigo's heart, when that's the furthest thing from the truth! ]
You know how much the two of you mean to me! Come on, don't even joke about that! You're practically closer to me than my friends from back home by now.
no subject
It's just that, nowadays.... I don't feel that you...
no subject
I just wanted to get you going, see what you'd do! You don't really need to have a second dinner with anyone. [ which really was what got him going down this road.
He picks himself up onto his feet, gives Inigo his usual friendly slap on the arm. ]
You're fine, Inigo! You're not breaking up the gang. Promise.
no subject
[ It's hard to place the tone he's saying it with. Inigo should probably be angry, but instead he almost sounds more.. defeated? Something along those lines. He just went through an entire emotional rollercoaster, please, why does this have to be a daily thing at this point.
He moves a hand up to ruffle his own hair to try and get the tension out, not caring too much about how he looks. ]
I will have second dinners with you guys. Watch me. [ POUT. This is now going to happen, you can't escape!! ] .. After the mission though.
[ Because, you know, mission time is kind of 'eat as little as possible while still getting by' time for Inigo. ]
no subject
Alright then, after the mission. It'll be our reward for doing a good job! [ And Tidus only isn't suggesting a dinner during the mission because he doesn't know what good luck they'll have in being so close together. ]
We can have some of the food I got for Taiki! Make up a meal together. See if Taiki can drink the mead with us!
[ Because maybe it's not Taiki-friendly?? Tidus doesn't know. ]
no subject
That is a good question. One that makes Inigo pause to consider it. ]
Do you think he can drink alcohol? [ There are a lot of particularities that come with Taiki's nature, after all, and Inigo isn't entirely sure of all their nuances.. ] I mean, it can't be as bad as meat, but maybe it's still.. impure or something..
no subject
We'll ask him. I don't know where alcohol falls for him. [ After all- ] I know about veganism, kinda... but- [ he pauses. ] Is there something special about his diet?
[ Something more than 'I just like not eating meat'? ]
no subject
Oh, I think meat makes him sick? One time he seemed really miserable and pale around the kitchen, so I helped him get away from there. I assumed it had something to do with him being a kirin [ hence the 'impure' thing, that's kind of what he figured may be the problem..?? ] but I never asked.
no subject
...but not all of the meat we get has blood in it. [ So. Huh! ]
I wonder what life is like for him back in Tai...
no subject
But then Tidus asks a question that feels even more important to think about. Though thinking about it makes Inigo frown. ]
I think it was hard. From what I've heard.. it seems like he's got a lot of expectations riding on him, especially since things don't seem to be doing very well over there at the moment. [ Not like he literally liVED THROUGH GYOUSOU'S PUBLIC NEAR-EXECUTION OR SOMETHING. ]
no subject
What's going on there? [ He's curious, of course. Tidus knows the climate isn't the greatest, more snow than anything (or so he thinks he remembers) that's not suited for humans. But anything else... well, he can imagine it being difficult as an advisor, but that's as far as his know-how extends. ]
no subject
[ He stops for a moment. Is it alright for him to tell Tidus? It's not his world, after all, and if Tidus doesn't know, maybe Taiki is holding it back for a good reason.
But.. that doesn't feel right. Tidus cares just as much for Taiki as Inigo does, after all. And isn't it better for him to know if they're both trying to make their friend as happy as possible? ]
I think there's been some sort of coup. Remember I saw lord Gyousou's memories back on the island? The first thing I saw right as I got off the train was him being dragged to his execution, with some other guy sitting on the throne.
no subject
[ Tidus stares at Inigo, face twisting from out of its simple concern a more confused state. Dragged to his execution. Saku. Their Saku. The Saku they've always known, taken to be killed, being overthrown-- ]
Saku's dead? Why--
[ The question slips out, encompassing plenty, but he diverts himself instead. ]
What about Taiki?
no subject
[ So he probably lives, one way or another.
But it doesn't make their situation any less precarious, huh. ]
I think Taiki was there too. I didn't see him, but it was.. it was like I could feel him, almost? Like lord Gyousou was looking for him. That other guy, the fake king or whoever he was-- he was keeping Taiki near him somewhere. [ That's all the locating of Taiki he remembers in that memory, especially without having seen their friend present in it. ] .. probably since Taiki's the one who's supposed to pick the king. That's what the whole kirin thing is about, right?
[ As much as Inigo dislikes that idea. It makes him feel sick to his stomach. It feels too much like Taiki being used. Like he's just some thing rather than an incredibly important person. ]
no subject
Tidus exhales, letting out the breath he was holding, not sure what to do with it. With any of it. Should he say anything? Should he ask? He looks from the table, then slowly to Inigo. ]
I can't believe... how's a plan like that gonna work anyway? People got to know something's up, right? How would you get people to believe any of that's legit? Taiki can just tell someone!
no subject
I don't know.
[ It's not like he got to see many details in that memory, after all. Maybe there were more than he remembers, but he was kind of too freaked out living that memory without realising it was happening to someone other than himself. ]
Honestly, I don't know if that's that guy's specific plan.. I just know he looked like he was up to no good. [ Especially if he was getting Gyousou of all people executed. What has he ever done wrong? ] Lord Gyousou seemed at least somewhat confident that they could try to make things better again once they'd go home when I spoke to him about it, but.. it would still be rough, wouldn't it? The two of them trying to reclaim a whole kingdom..
