Who: Yugi Mutou and Open
What: Yugi making a mess coming up with gaming ideas as well as playing games to see how they worked. There might also be some actually pondering of what he might be doing next mission.
When: Day 26
Where: Gaming Carriage, Dining Carriage
Warnings: None that I know of.

Dining Carriage
Yugi never really used his notebook all that much, but today was a different story. Today was the day he was using it to jot down various notes. Pausing at each page he soon found himself frustrated ripping out the paper and simply leaving it to the side.

This happened at least a few more times as he sighed, leaning forward in defeat for the time being.

"None of those ideas work in a game format. Besides, I have to take into account what we actually have here and the technology we got to work with." And with that in mind, he was starting to play with the pen a little bit, soon finding himself deep in thought and not paying attention to those around him.

Gaming Carriage Part 1
Yugi had soon gotten an idea to play some of the games, see how they played, get some ideas of how everything worked. As much information as he could get to figure out his own idea of a game. So he had picked out a few games that he had somehow managed to not get around to playing or that normally he wouldn't have thought of playing, but he knew with playing them he could learn more about the mechanics of gaming and maybe that would help him in the long run.

So sitting in one of the bean chairs he started up the first game and started to play. Once again he seemed to be focused on what was in front of him and not what could be going on around him.

Gaming Carriage Part 2
After having played a few games Yugi was sitting in the bean chair and simply looking through his deck that eh always had on him. His thoughts soon were on an idea that had come to him during his last talk with Kaiba. Missions always seemed to involve fighting and Yugi wasn't the biggest fan of using violence. So he had been sorting out his deck for the purpose of an idea that he had in mind, something that he hoped would work in the next mission.

But he didn't want to let any of his friends or boyfriend know what he had been planning, mainly out of the worry that they might try and talk him out of it. So putting his deck away he started to look around to see if there was anyone close by before speaking up.

"Excuse me, can I ask you moment? It won't take long I promise."

Tidus peers at the options on the list, the question in mind and thinking with an idle tap of his forefinger on the table.

"Uhh, hmm... well, I like the video games. Something you can play on the move would be fun." But while his thought is unfinished, he looks over at Yugi. "Can you make anything like that? A video game?"

Was it possible? Considering what they had accessed to (and didn't).

"I coudln't program one, but I know someone who could potentially do that if given the right equipment. However I can do things like world building and story and the characters, things like that." He paused as he thought about it if it would be possible here.

"I guess with the shop it is always possible to get the stuff that is needed."

"How about just sticking with something simpler, then? 'Til you know you can get any of that stuff. I was thinking, it'd be great to have more games we know we could play with each other without needing to say much, you know? Like when we couldn't talk to each other."

That's what he had been thinking before, with having few rules. Or rules that didn't need too much of an explanation. Rather- "Something where you can make a quick demonstration, and people would be able to follow it!"

"Something simpler and can be played without needing to say much or...I guess read much because even the written parts changed when that happened." So it made thinking up an idea right away that little bit harder.

"Nothing is coming up right away, but I at least figured a board game of sorts would be the best." Something like hungry hippos or similar where you don't need to talk much and at least writing or having to read it wasn't something that's was needed either.

"It's helped me at least think up possibilities, so thank you for that."

"If it gets you thinking up a game, no prob! I'm still interested in whatever you come up with in the end." Whether it's related to what he just said or not.

"We need all the distractions we can get around here. 'Til missions roll up."

"Yeah, we all have plenty of time between the end of the mission and the next one, so I have been using that time for things like this... I do hope to come up with something new before...maybe the mission after the next one." Because he was surge he couldn't by the next time anyway, but he figured he could at least start thinking of one.

"Yeah, gotta give yourself time after the mission where all you wanna do is stay in bed and not think." Or that was his experience, though the cramped space of his cabin made him skip out on that and going into the game cars to nick some of the beanies together... nobody has to know his secret way to lounge!

"I've never had that moment. Usually, that moment for me is Chilling in the games room and relaxing" Which was what he normally did in general anyway, it was just always relaxing in there and he always found her had his moments where he could have a quiet moment with his thoughts.

"But that's because my roommates might be wanting to do other things, so I can't always stay in bed anyway"

"What, even right after a mission?" He furrows his brow, but then leans his neck aside in a stretch as he recalls that last mission. "Don't know what you did, but I was with Blue team last round--it was fighting day and night! We were running around keeping the island and the rock pools safe. I've never stretched my magic like I did then!"

And he's been trying to get in some practices to make sure he was prepared next time. ...well, he had been. Let's not talk about what's actually going on now.

"I didn't actually do anything last mission. I was more the one who gave out the towels to Orange Team and more the rooting for them kind of thing." He was still disappointed in that he couldn't do more, but when one cannot tolerate being underwater, you are limited to what you can actually do. He kind of wished he joined another team.

"but it's something at least, but next time I hope I can do more."

He hums, resting on the table some more. "Not much of a swimmer? Right... you guys had to go underwater to the Bui people. It's not easy going that deep if you're not used to it."

Even with equipment, it's a lot of pressure. Tidus raises a hand some.

"But I think that's the first water mission they had, so we'll probably get something dryer next time."

"More I didn't realize I had a fear of being under the water." If he had known he wondered what he would have done differently. Would he have just gone with another team? Most likely would have.

"Most likely, no two mission types are exactly the same. Before this one it was space related,"

There's no judgment or scoffing at that confession from Tidus, who knows there's people who have never been close to the sea. Not like him, growing up surrounded by it for most of his life.

But he does show some interest to that previous mission. "What was that like? You ever been in space?"

When he thinks about Yugi, Tidus thinks space. But let's not get too hasty with judgments now.

"There was a lot going on. People getting hurt and having to be treated, people having to work on the shields to help people. gunning down space ships, which is not as fun as it sound like at all." He just remembered seeing the injured people he had to deal with and the fact he had gunned down living people for the sake of the mission.

"But before that... I had never been to space before."

"Ohhh..."

By the way Tidus's voice deflates, he gets that it doesn't bring up the best memories. Tidus leans on his folded arms, a slight grimace on his face.

"Not what you want your first trip to space to be like." At all. "Would you do a mission like that again? If you knew it was going to be like that?"

"If I could find a way to be helpful without hurting anyone, then yes I would." But he just really didn't want anyone to get hurt, yet he knew that was impossible.

But he was always at least willing to try, even if he gets hurt.

Well, shield duties was good for that, if he was put in the exact scenario as before where that was an option. But for a general way of helping without hurting...

"You know first aid? That's always good--any situation needs someone to check on people."

"I know the very basics." And he had done that, but usually, he found he had to find someone else to deal with anything more serious.

"Not sure basic first aid is at all useful considering how hurt people could possibly get though, unless it's just a scratch or something."

"You can always ask the people on board who know how to do that kind of thing though, right? Maybe see if you can learn any magic! It's a pain, but once you learn your first couple of spells, you find your own way of figuring the rest."

As it was for him. It didn't make learning new spells easy, but it helped once he knew the basics of what he should be doing, feeling, than starting off from scratch.

"I know that there was someone who was offering to do lessons with magic that anyone can so so long as they can do... I forgot what it was off the top of my head. But otherwise, most classes have usually been very math and science-based as far as I know."

Magic was something he was somewhat interested in personally, but if it didn't work out then it didn't work out, he figured he would just found something else he could do.

"...like actual math and science classes?"

Guess who doesn't pay attention that much to know if there's actual proper education happening on the train. He's too busy with other things.

"I think so. It's not something I am that invested in, so I don't go." He will though learn from Kaiba at least with certain things. Just not those things at least.

"But people do set up and can set up classes for various things."

"Sure, I just didn't realise." A small shrug. "Kinda pointless for me too. Nothing I'm gonna do with science or maths. I guess, unless...?"

He tries to think, but for the attempt, he just shrugs again and shakes his head. Nope!

"There's not really that much of a point to it unless you enjoy it and then you can get creative with findings way to help the train perhaps, but otherwise it has no use." At least to him. he finished learning, he doesn't want to do that again unless he thinks it will be actually useful for missions.
