[open] i make a penny, the train makes a dime

Who: Tidus & You! (Open!)
Where: Kitchen car, around, where pets can be petted (or bite him)
When: Grasshopper 16 onwards (can include a few days before)
What: Tidus has a 'bet' that's less of a bet now and more 'see what doing chores consistently does for your points', but also just generally around the train too!
Warnings: should be nothing!

1. aid // for purple team CR:
    Tidus has an objective, first coming from a bet of 'who can get the most points!' to 'okay, but do you get anything out of doing chores than the sense of self-satisfaction of helping out the community (pffft, boriiing)'? That's what Tidus wants to do, and suuure, he really has no reason to think that chores gives you anything when he hasn't...been the best at them, but.

    That's not stopping his little inner nag from wanting him to find out, and what better way to run experiments with a friendly face? Perhaps an unsuspecting one, when he comes to a Purple-clothed team and starts, with a bright and familiar face on him.

    "Heyyy. You free?"

2. cleaning:
    ( a. kitchen ) Or maybe he's already recruited your character, they were already there to do chores, or they just happen to be in the kitchen at the time, which great! Tidus is easy with conversation, piping up with a "Hey!" to anyone that comes into the kitchen, and for those he's already with, ask, "You meet anyone interesting on the platform?", "You order anything in?", "So, what'd you think about that last mission?"

    Despite this, he is trying to do as much he can think of to do: Put the plates and cutlery through the dishwashers, set them aside to be put away again; mopping the floor (and even saying to those he's partnered with beforehand, 'I'll do the floor', like it's his personal mission). And he's fine with clearing up some of the trays and bowls by hand in the sink, but he's...rather awkward about it. Minding how deep his left hand goes in, his SCA still strapped around his wrist, and doing what he can to make sure it doesn't hit the water. And maybe even looking around and seeing if there's anything he can put around it. Can he tuck kitchen roll around it...? ...he does try...

    ( b. bathrooms ) lol no he won't and YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM.

3. around
    Otherwise, Tidus can be found around normally on the train. He's often trying out the sports in the gynasium, from badminton, tennis, to volleyball, and if your character happens to like to join there too, he won't be afraid to ask, "Hey, mind if I join in?"; he's on the lookout to see who's into sports, or who might be checking out the room with interest.

    He also takes part in the training gym, whether in one of the group sessions or taking time in it setting up obstacles with the balancing beams, ropes, and so forth. The floor is lava and you need to run across the beams, jumping onto the climbing set and swing across the next lot! He's a monkey with too much energy. Or maybe your character is already up to something in there?

    Tidus does know how to do chill however. Find him in the cinema car watching what's already playing or some dumb comedy, or even in the music car to see what tunes are available for his SCA. There's a also a chance of finding him on the upper quiet car floor, the doors closed and...he's sitting cross-legged on the floor between the couches, his eyes closed and head slightly hanging. What. Knock on the door, or leave him be?

    Also, maybe he'll be checking out a random pet wandering around. Heyy there little guuuyy how friendly are you? Insert your pal [here].


( ooc: Tidus will easily approach others so if you want to set up a thread where he'd need to be the one to say hi, go for it! above is some areas where he'd be to do such or even for your character to do it first. o7 )

[ At the sight of a smile working its way upon Tidus's grumpy face Inigo can't help but let his own smile widen. It seems his approach here is working! Sure, he can't change anything about the main problem, since it doesn't seem like the train is very keen on listening to anything, but at least he can act like a positive moron to cheer his pal up a bit. ]

Right! Now that's the Tidus I know! [ He laughs, though not even a bit of it seems to indicate he's making fun of Tidus. It's just warm, happy. ] Always ready to kick some butt!

[ No matter whether it's train butt or old man butt. ]

Anyway, I'll make sure to leave a message as feedback for the train. Who knows, maybe it won't be able to resist my charms! Feel free to think of what you'll do for me in your eternal gratitude for giving you clocks if that happens.

[ His smile instantly drops. Inigo narrows his eyes, squinting at Tidus.

(Really, it's mostly since he's convinced Tidus is in a better enough mood that Inigo can just roll with this kind of stuff in the usual way.) ]


I'm going to ask the train for clocks, but then ask it to make you unable to see any of them.

[ He regrets everything.

(Having a friendship doki at the best of buddies part though.)

Inigo bristles. ]


I'm going to ask the train to make you room with Roland!

H-- How did this turn into you bullying me?!

[ Because that's clearly what Tidus is doing here. With his terrible, terrible chocobo threat.

Inigo slams his hands down on the table. Dramatically. ]


See if I'll ever do anything for you again! [ Says the guy who will literally send in a request later anyway. ]
flatteries: (this love is big and it's loud)

Yeah?! [ Inigo starts, sounding like he's fully intending on making a similar retort as just now. ] Well--

[ But then he stops. It's such a small and dumb thing. He knows Tidus is just using 'boyfriend' in the general sense of the word, and with the knowledge that Inigo more easily falls for guys than girls, but of course it makes him think of Yuki.

He feels stupid. He should be over this by now, but he isn't. He can still feel his heart sink in that super familiar way, and Inigo is just a moment too late to try and cover it up. The hurt is already showing on his face - eyes suddenly darting away from Tidus, his facial expression turning more awkward, even as he tries to make some sort of retort anyway. ]


D.. Don't you already have a girlfriend? Don't be greedy.

[ Inigo shakes his head.

There's tons of words right at the tip of his tongue, but he make sure to swallow them all right back down before he can let out even a single one of them. Instead he just sucks in a deep breath, forcing his racing mind to calm down. The awkwardness slides off his face, quickly forcing himself to replace it with a similar small smile. ]


Hey, come on. That's nothing I can't handle.

[ Liar. ]

Although it was a pretty bad joke. We both know I'm the more attractive one between the two of us.
flatteries: (everyone's scared someone knows)

[ To Inigo's credit, he manages to swallow down the bad feeling easily enough, to a point where he can even get in a dramatic jaw drop at Tidus's answer. A moment later there's even a whiny repetition of "I'm NoT gOnNa LiE tO cHeEr YoU uP" that's half-muttered before Inigo pouts. ]

No. [ Still pouting. Just because Tidus implied Inigo isn't a total hunk though, not for any actual sad reason. ] I don't like them. It feels like they might suck out your brain or something.

I'm so going to tell Roland it's your fault if my brain starts leaking out of my ears!

[ And yet.

Despite any and all protests - and threats to tell dad on him -, he's not even resisting the way Tidus is dragging him away in the slightest... ]
