[Inigo had advised Entrapta that Tidus was a good guy to go to for fighting observation, so she finds his room. With a balled-up fist shape of hair she knocks on his door, her real hands tucked behind her back.]
Hi! My name is Entrapta. Your friend Inigo said you could help me!
[ --This is an odd sight following the knock at the door.
Maybe not that strange, at least not the sight. He's sure he's seen this girl around the train, but what she could be here for, Tidus can't fathom.
So- ] Sure, [ he says with a note of interest. His hair a little tussled, dressed out of anything train designated and in shorts and a sleeveless hoodie. ] What's up?
[ This gonna be some kinda tech-related question?? Inigo's never good at those... ]
I was wondering if you could help me out! Inigo said that you were good at fighting. And I need some physical and magical combat samples for my research. I'm wanting to create some gym enhancements!
[She rocks up onto the balls of her feet and back to her heels again, smiling.]
[ Oh. That's a surprise, especially to come to his cabin for, and his head tilts slightly. ]
Nice to meet you too! [ Gotta say that back first, of course! ] What do you need me to do? Fight you? [ He points at her, then points away. ] Fight something?
[ Show her how he moved around the room for maximum....efficiency-ness? ]
[ Damaging stuff? Fighting someone? This isn't anything he's had to put on show before. Who would work best? ]
Uhhh, I guess I could... fight with Inigo. We do parry practices. Or I'm doing more magick-y stuff with another guy later. Do you just wanna stand and watch?
That's mostly the idea. I also record. Here! Let me show you Cherry's and you'll see what I mean.
[She pulls her scanner out of her hair, which she was hiding somewhere in there somehow. She turns the screen to Tidus, showing a recording, complete with grid scans and trails of energy, of Cherry practicing.]
This kind of thing! I could even show you how you look.
[ Heerrr hair is possibly moving, alssoo she just has a scanner in there?!
Okay. Okay. Smack on him a more bewildered look now, if contained, though actually seeing the scanner is -- interesting? That actually eases his expression the more he watches the footage. Or rather, how the device works. ]
Oh. This like one of those things that shine a light at you and take all sorts of notes?
[ It's...probably not doing that for the recorded footage, but it looks like it could. To him. ]
A little more complicated than that, but you've got the spirit! If I can observe and measure the forces behind your combat moves, I can learn from them. And everyone here has such unique ways of transferring and accumulating energy! It's really very interesting.
[To her, anyway.]
But if you would have the time soon, I'd love to watch.
[ You know what, that's all the nerdy-type talk he can digest ('transferring and accumulating energy', very interesting to a very certain group of people), so Tidus is pretty alright leaving that there - focusing on, really, the main thing she wanted him to do. ]
I'm training about an hour...half an hour from now. [ He says it with a shrug, not actually having an exact time (what's that on the train), but. ] Whenever the other guy's ready. I'll call you up over the speakers if the other guy's fine with it?
No. You know what, she's gone and there's nothing to say or think, other than you meet all sorts. It's a little like fighting Yunalesca, right? Moving...living hair is just a thing.
A thing that Tidus will totally accept and get ready to continue on with his life - by getting to a good spot in his game that he was playing, shut it off and get out of his room to find that guy he was meant to be meeting with..
But Entrapta will get her all over the speakers, letting her know the session is still on. And when she gets to the training gym, Tidus will be doing some warm ups - crouched on his knees, lifting up, letting his body bend and then twisting his abdomen from side to side. There's a tiny creature at his feet - visible to those good of heart, or well intentioned - also going through its own warm-ups.
[ Maybe Inigo should be warming up too. Instead he's squatting on the floor, watching the tiny dancing creature with a smile on his face. He's got his priorities straight, okay.
But when the girl enters the room, he glances up from the higgledy to instead smile. He remembers Entrapta! She's.. a little weird, but also nice.
(Then again, that could describe most girls in Inigo's eyes. They're all mysteries.) ]
[It's very easy to make Entrapta's day, though, to be fair. But, right!]
[She walks over to him and pulls out a miniature metal ballista out of her hair, like it's some sort of insane storage unit (and it doesn't even remotely catch on it) and offers it to Inigo.]
See! I made it. It's functional, too. [Then she holds up her scanner.] Okay! I'm going to watch from the climbing rack. That'll give me some range.
[And she can climb like no one's business, thanks. Practically going up it like an Octopus would move across the ocean floor.]
[ ...okay, Tidus likes the octopus movements, alright. And he totally saw it that way. But nevermind Entrapta's mystical hair. While she's getting comfy, Tidus, done with his warm-ups but with his arms still rolling some, leans in Inigo's direction... ]
So what've you been up to. Huh?
[ Wiggle wiggle eyebrows, wink wink nudge nudge? Though the tone is more to tease Inigo than anything genuine. You been talking about him to the girls, bro?? ]
[ There's just double surprise involved here for Inigo.
First there's the thing coming out of her hair - Entrapta, please, when will the wonders about this girl cease - which he takes from her. It's not a surprise by itself that she ended up making it, since she did mention it to him before, but he really didn't consider that it might come into play with Entrapta showing up. It makes him stare at it for a moment in surprise as he holds it into his hands--
Until Tidus speaks up, making his cheeks grow a faint pink. ]
H-Huh? [ What's up with that tone, mister! He can hear it! Even though it just flusters him. ] Nothing! I just.. She said she wanted to watch people fight, and I figured we fight pretty differently!
[ So it's a better opportunity for her to see various fighting styles!
Sure, Tidus could be teasing him about something beyond that, but this is how Inigo decides to take it for now. He waves at the girl climbing up on the rack, smiling now, even while he's still blushing. It won't go down that easily. ]
And.. thanks, Entrapta! It's really sweet you made this. I'll have to test it out later.

I could watch general training but if you could find a sparring partner that would be great!
But right now I'm okay with measuring damage to the current gymnasium equipment.

I'll run back and get my scanning gear. [She squawks happily.]
This is gonna be so much fun.
[And then she takes off down the corridor. On her feet? No. She's using her hair.]
beep beep calling in inigo to join the thread
She's moving on her... hair...
No. You know what, she's gone and there's nothing to say or think, other than you meet all sorts. It's a little like fighting Yunalesca, right? Moving...living hair is just a thing.

Actually, it's just dancing.
Another guy will (may?) be familiar, in the form of Inigo. But when Tidus spots Entrapta mid-turn of his waist, he'll call out to her in greeting. ]
Heyyyyy!
[ hey hey, welcome ]
