Frogs. You know. They go, ribbit ribbit? I had to think of an escape plan, and someone recommended a magic pill that could temporarily turn you into a frog. We escaped safely through the sewers...well, apart from getting chased by rats. [ He says this with such a casual tone that you might have to wonder if he's just pulling your leg. But Roland isn't a joker, so you know this has to be true. Keep up Tidus, this is all the rage in the fantasy scene yknow!! ] You have no idea how happy I was when I turned back into me. I was convinced I'd be a frog forever at some point. That would have been some retirement plan.

[ HEY HELP HIM OUT HERE, Roland may be capable in real life but in game logic dictates he has to spazz out first, so he's just moving around re-reading the same text boxes over and over again. He nudges Tidus from time to time with a gentle poke of his elbow over his arm, muttering 'am I warm? is this it?' and the occasional 'what's the objective again?' They make some leeway with an order of colors - strangely enough, they're similar to the colors of the teams on the train!! - but it still isn't the correct pattern. Something was telling Roland there were five statues and not four, which is why nothing happened after they clicked the apparent statues in that particular order. He starts running around the map trying to find where it is... The banter was kind of refreshing, if he was going to be honest with you. So was this what it was like to have a hobby like gaming? ]

Heh. Fair enough. [ Some clicking on the controller, moving the joystick about. Was that a hidden statue behind a bush??? ] Wait, are you telling me your girlfriend is on the train, too? Yuna's here? [ He turns his head, swiveling the VR headset with him. He's asking this because unlike A Certain Punk he knows, he doesn't stalk the Passenger Roster for names AND HOW MANY POINTS THEY HAVE!! ]

[ HE IS CORRECT, there is a fifth statue. But it's a mystery unto itself because the statue is split into half, like lightning went through it, a clean strike through the middle. Is this a spell? DOES HE HAVE A SPELL??? ] An Arms Band is just a piece of equipment to hold weapons and other items inside of it. It remembers the skills you learn with your weapons too. Inherently, if the person wearing it doesn't know magic, it won't instantly grant you the power to cast. So I guess you could say, the staff of this Mage - [ He jumps twice. ] - would technically go inside the Arms Band.

[ Another short beat. ] I hope I have enough points to order two more of those. [ Y'know. As thanks. Tidus might like one. Shut up you're sentimental!!! ]
