[ Sorry for the - most likely - underwhelming reaction on Inigo's part, Tidus. But he's just trying to wrap his head around all of this as they're walking here. It's a lot, but he's giving it some genuine effort, if not just by piercing together the parts about technology he does understand at this point.. ]
Isn't that.. a lot though? I mean, I can't even imagine how many theater troupes you'd need to make that many movies.. [ He's already baffled by the sheer amount in the cinema car! ] Or does it just have a few movies? Are the movies interrupted by the sports games?
[ LOOK. THIS IS A LOT!
Right now he's imagining everything at once too, which sure isn't making things easier on Inigo's peanut brain. ]
[ This is nothing new to Tidus, so the dumbed 'uh-huh' doesn't register to him as anything disinterested. But what does get him- ]
Huh? Sports games? [ Movies interrupted by sports games...? ] No no, there's movies about sports!
--Wait, that's not what I meant. [ Okay, now his brain is catching up! ] I mean that you can watch anything on a screen. Everything gets recorded, and all you've got to do is change what you're watching to the thing you want to watch.
[ Do we need to do hand motions? Because Tidus is regardless. ]
So you can watch a movie, or you can watch a sports game!
Cue some Jeopardy thinking music up in here, because Inigo sure is looking like he's having his gears up there working real hard to try and process anything even remotely resembling a cohesive thought. Look how hard he's trying for his more technologically-inclined friend! ]
So you can watch.. pretty much anything on it.
[ Compared to the cinema carriage, where the available stuff always seems more limited. ]
Whenever you want.
[ Is he getting it right so far? He's speaking so slowly exactly for this reason, so he can see how the other reacts as he gives each statement. ]
[ Hold on, he might yet have to process the 'dancing shows' part. Maybe Inigo's brain manages to realise somewhere that trying to shove knowledge that powerful into Inigo's brain on top of all of it might just make him pass out.
He's already looking like his eyes might just pop out of their sockets any moment now. That surprised. ]
How do they make that many shows, Tidus? [ The very LOGISTICS of it are baffling him. ] You'd need so many people! And what if no one watches them?!
[ Is he getting some secondhand anxiety for showmakers from another world?
Maybe just a little bit. But his mind is mostly still just utterly blown. ]
Well, they're recorded! [ Listen to this wonder. It reminds Tidus of a lot of times - of even being back on Spira, telling Yuna about Zanarkand. Brings a cheery note to him, despite Inigo's current overload. ]
That means they can be watched whenever people want to! You put together your show, have it recorded, and put it out there - and people are sure to watch it if it's good! Just imagine-
[ Or don't, except Tidus isn't going to help the current capacity of Inigo's brain; speaking with a hushed flair, gesturing out an arm: ]
Putting together a brilliant show, and having people across different planets see it! Different universes! Another you could see you dance!
This is too much for Inigo's brain. Truly. It's given up on trying to process this thought, and instead he pipes up with the instinctive answer that only covers literally a single part of what Tidus is saying here: ]
There's no way any me would want to see me dance! [ PLEASE, TIDUS! ] Are you saying you think other yous would like watching you play blitzball?!
[ Bro, that's a weird hobby! That's exhibitionism to another level entirely! ]
I'd play blitzball against me! [ Is this the exact question? No. But it still counts!! ] Why stick to watching? Let's see who the best Tidus is out there! A team of Tidus against a team of Tidus!
[ That's twelve Tiduses. Can a blitz sphere handle that many Tidus? ]
And just think! All of you could watch and help each other with your dancing! They're the best people to be watching you!
[ Again, missing the TV part of this scenario. But shh, nevermind that! ]
[ Inigo sputters. His face is getting so red. It truly looks like Inigo has reached the end of his rope here, and his brain is about to absolutely short-circuit and shut down entirely, unable to cope with only just the idea of this reality.
Even trying to distract himself with the thought of several Tiduses playing blitzball together doesn't help, since it's just more flustering to think of that many handsome guys with nice bodies playing sports..
So he shakes his head. OUT. ALL OF THESE THOUGHTS, OUT OF THIS HOLY HOUSE! ]
This has nothing to do with these shows! [ At least Inigo seems to finally have figured this out. Maybe it's better to be confused by technology than to be flustered over all these other things. ] I bet we couldn't even watch blitzball or dancing here!
[ Is that a challenge, Inigo. Never say anything that sounds like a challenge in front of Tidus "Challenge Master" Finalfantasy over here, dude. ]
Oh? [ Oh? You're approaching challenging Tidus? He's already bringing up his SCA hand and fiddling with it, bringing up the map that he glances to, to check they're on the right path to the hotel...
He looks ahead, then back at it, and jumps a step forward; and with barely a glance at Inigo, declares, ] Then we better find out!
[ --and he's bolting, as much as someone can bolt through a busy part of festivities taking place. But Tidus is searching for the room, and going in the direction he knows he needs to go.
At least, technically. But you better keep up if you don't wanna get left behind, Inigo!!!! ]
we can probably wrap this one up here so we can have some room for delicious mission threads!!
Especially since Inigo's reaction is typical too. He realises just a moment too late what Tidus is doing, which makes his jaw drop in surprise.. but then he does quickly take off after the other, recklessly chasing him.
Don't mind them, people of this place. Just two dumb boys racing through the streets. Clearly nothing weird about it. ]

😳
You know what else there's shows for? Cooking shows! That's how I learned how to cook - watching them. And I bet there's dancing shows too.
[ There's music videos that Tidus is sure he's told Inigo about before, but also, why not dancing shows. ]
Shows about animals, shows about people... there's pretty much a show about anything.
[ Just imagine it, Inigo. This new reality you have to fit inside your brain and acknowledge! ]
