'Does he think this is funny?!' Roland thinks in a flurry of panic, but the answer is obviously yes. A long resounding yes. Or Tidus just has a completely different version of fun that Roland's never going to understand, but here they are. There's no turning back when the wind kissing his face is sharp and cold, the spray of water dampening the bottom of his pant legs and parts of his skin. Too high up even for someone who's used Water Slide to go down thousands and thousands of miles deep into an Abyss at the bottom of the ocean. Whatever calm Roland tries to exude at this point has all but disappeared, his hands to his sides gripping Tidus's sleeve while he braces himself internally for whatever end comes.

"Tidus, this isn't practice!" He tries to shout amidst the ambient noise. At the same time, his heart is practically calling for the second higgledy to manifest now that the downwards arc towards the ground begins, descending faster and faster, gravity doing the rest.

"-Aaaaaaaaawwwhoaaa! Now's a good time to come out!" Which he doesn't say for Tidus's sake, but it does stir Rannygazoo's crowned little head to pop out from beneath them, some ways away still, appearing as dots in their vision. Ten others surround him, jumping in glee. Then, a bright flash of light greets the two riding the disk of water. Where once stood small, tiny little sprites; now, an almost six feet tall giant higgledy knight bellows out deep from its hollow armor, no longer high-pitched in squeal but an echoed cry that sounds almost inhuman. The sword in his hand is planted sluggishly into the ground, so that its arms are able to hold up its huge shield right in front of its body, the width covering his entire breadth, ready to meet the spray of water in full force.

'Higgle! Brave souls, it's time for a most wonderful landing! Piiiggle!'

Get ready to use the shield to ricochet to safety - ! Thank goodness for Hibber-Gibbers's synchronized understanding of the plan in advanced!
