(open) my heart is about to jump out of my chest
Who: Inigo and you!
Where: The upper level of the music carriage
When: Imagination 19/20
What: Inigo thinks he's having a private dance practice moment. Thinks.
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if necessary.

If you happen to pass through the music carriage today - as people usually do when moving through the train - you may notice something. Either you can hear music coming from the upper floor, drawing your attention, or if you have a good heart, you may instead see an odd little creature sitting on the stairs, swaying from side to side along with the music.
If you decide to go upstairs, the creature certainly won't do anything to stop you, if you can see it. In fact, it seems to happily bounce right after you, following you up.
And upstairs the carriage is mostly empty - except for Inigo standing on the stage, dancing. The music is even more audible now. Inigo is dancing along to the beat, eyes closed, yet he doesn't seem to even come close to falling off the stage, as if he knows exactly where to place his feet. Which he probably does, considering his movements seem to be very fluid, practiced. It's a pretty captivating dance, honestly, and it's easy to just keep watching it without realising the time is passing until the song stops.
It's then that Inigo stops moving too, finally opening his eyes..
.. and therefore finally noticing that he's not alone. He lets out an absolute shriek, staring you straight in the eyes, before his foot slips and he finally ends up falling on the stage.
Temporary elegance gone. There is only a miserable little pile of Inigo on the stage now.
(closed to taiki)
Okay, okay. Maybe he just needs to get used to dancing in front of people. He danced in front of Tidus before, and that was only.. only mildly mortifying, so maybe that's what he should do. Make sure to dance in front of people he feels a bit more comfortable with.
Hence why Inigo gently dragged (read: made puppy eyes at until he gave in) Taiki along here. He said it was fine if Taiki would just sit there and paint or something, do whatever he feels like doing! It's just that Inigo has to get used to having an audience, okay! And Taiki is just about the most gentle person Inigo can think of for this sort of thing.
But thinking of that is one thing. The actual execution of this plan is another thing.
Which is why they're both here now, but rather than dancing, Inigo just sitting there on the stage, slumped over, groaning. His face is buried in his hands.
"Why is it so hard to get started when someone else is looking.." Is he whining to Taiki? To himself? Who knows.

But, at least Inigo doesn't seem to take it much more personally, after that. Hopefully Tidus will mind his mouth better in the future, but for now, there isn't any hot water for Tidus to get himself in. Why would anyone worship someone like Grima - why would anyone do half of what they do, really.
"Who knows? People get some funny ideas in their head." He could get into the religion of Yevon, but it was more sad to think about: people brainwashed into believing something to be true that wasn't. That Sin would be rid of with enough atoning...
"You know..." But there was one thing, a frown that settles on Tidus's mouth as he recalls it. "There was someone back in Spira who wanted to become Sin. Just so he could go and wipe everyone out. Crazy, huh? Sometimes - you just get people like that around. People who think they know better, or do whatever they like."
He sighs, shifting his back against the wall, but not losing Inigo his arm.
"There's some real nutjobs out there."

And Inigo thought the Grimleal were already bad enough, wanting to revive a dragon that would destroy the world and absolutely everything in it. But wanting to do so yourself? That seems even more incomprehensible to Inigo. The world is so beautiful, people's lives so important-- why would anyone want to ruin all that?
It makes him frown too. Inigo doesn't like the thought.
".. I'm sorry, Tidus. Stuff like that must have been hard to deal with. Since you guys were working hard to protect everyone from Sin, right?" So having to even hear someone wanting to become Sin.. It's like spitting on everything they were fighting for. "It's like they're disrespecting all your efforts."
no subject
Most of the Guado didn't, he's sure. Man, what a lifetime ago, though.
"Biggest pain is the guy wouldn't stay dead!" Ugh, which- he makes another small disagreeable noise, remembering the events on top of the mountain. All those who stepped in front of Seymour, attempting to slow him...
Tidus's arms fold.
"If that guy shows up on the train, I'm kicking his ass."
no subject
"Let me know if he does. I'll help you." Bros have to back each other up, after all, especially in those kinds of situations! Inigo knows Tidus would similarly have his back if he needed it, after all.
.. though there's something else that stands out about what Tidus says. Asking about that does come with a bit more hesitation.
"Wouldn't stay dead, though..? Was he-- erm." Sweet Naga, it feels like so long ago since they had that conversation. "You know.. One of those people you spoke of before? Those people who are dead, but still around?"
no subject
But- one of those people? It takes Tidus a second, 'til - "Yeah, sorta. Well, I don't know what being an unsent is like, but... I guess they can keep coming back if they want to?"
...he's working out some mechanics he realises he's never known the full details for until now. Can an unsent keep coming back? Brow puzzled and pinch, confusion distracts Tidus until he shakes his head.
"--well, whatever goes on... we had to take him out after he attacked us with an aeon, and then he came back again, twice-- no, three times. But he could do this thing where he looked like his own kind of fiend! He got all big- I even saw him absorb other guado one time!"
Cue some hand waving, since, actually, he always came back big. He was big, Inigo, big!
"He wouldn't stop coming back 'til Yuna sent him."
no subject
Although this guy doesn't sound a whole lot better. Coming back even though he's been defeated, and looking like a fiend.. That's what Tidus calls the monsters in his world, right? And all of that on top of wanting to become Sin..
"He sounds like a nutjob." Is that a good summary? It sounds like it, especially with the annoyance Tidus was using earlier to talk about him. "Let's hope he doesn't show up on the train then. Can you even imagine how much of a pain that would be to deal with?"
no subject
"Sure could. He'd be all smug and acting like a jackass and only caring about himself. He'd be insufferable! And some people'll talk to him and think he's all that."
Bah. "And I'd have to see his face everyday!"
The worst crime of all!
"'Least there's no way the train's sticking Grima in here."
no subject
After all, Inigo is pretty sure there are still people talking to Xue Yang regularly - something he himself just can't even imagine.
.. but then there's that next part, derailing his train of thought at the very mention of that name.
"Yes. I mean.. that should be impossible."
Since even aside from the whole 'bent on destroying everything ever' thing, Grima is just way too big. If anything, that ought to keep it out of here, right.
"Though.." Inigo shifts a little. "When I saw those shadows approach on that one mission, it felt a little like Grima. Or rather-- it felt the same way as when I saw Grima awaken. It's been the only time I've felt anything like it since leaving my own world."
