Video - Kazoo 1
[ On the day of platform, after all is said and done and passengers both new and old have filed into the Voidtrecker Express, a certain man restored to his usual youthful face is seen on screen, from the comfort of the Library car. Clad in clothes that are distinctly different from the train's usual uniform, eagle-eyed passengers may find a particular floral lapel pin attached to the turnover collar of his top as the only indicator of where he's been grouped. ]
To my fellow Voidtrecker passengers, a very fine Kazoo day to you all.
[ These month names will never stop sounding ridiculous to him, but with a face so serious, it sort of works in commanding attention anyway. ]
I've begun this broadcast with two express purposes: first, I would like to ask for your time as we launch an official census of the current Purple team roster. [ He crosses his arms over his chest. Though he is speaking in general, it seems he's adept at talking to cameras such that he could be addressing you in particular. ] Just now counting the passenger list from the ICP, we are once again seeing an incredible number of talented individuals who all have something unique to offer, not just for this team, but for everyone onboard.
[ His fist curls in a determined gesture. ] To this end, interested members can now fill out a quick survey such that we can determine who is good at, or comfortable doing, particular tasks on and off missions. Purple is populated by plenty of diverse folks, the most of the train's teams, and we should be putting everyone where they are most needed. It could be as simple as offering your favorite hobby as a service, or something more unexpected like your secret ability to bench-press three cows while jumping as high as the moon. Heh. [ Ah, so he has a sense of humor. However corny or dry. Back to business. ]
You may find these surveys in stacks by the Library car, with a tray for our collection later on. [ Said stack of paper is in his hands already to show, and it's definitely a tall one. ] Rest assured that you are protected by the team leads if you would like to keep certain things private, or known only to a select few. Share only what you deem important. Alternatively, you can find me anytime and hand it in yourself so we can talk face-to-face.
[ He drops the stack gently and faces the camera one more time. His smile widens by a fraction. ] As for the second purpose...[ His hand rests against his chest and he briefly closes his eyes. ] I would like to formally introduce myself. My name is Roland Crane, and Purple or not, I am happily at everyone's service.
[ Roland nods determined before he ends his announcement. ]
( ooc: ) open to [ action ] tags if characters happen to be in the library. check out the ooc community for the survey in question!

No. I just don't like writing reports, is all. It's part of the job but that don't mean I've gotta like it.
[Now ask him how many times he's whined about paperwork. (Spoiler: a lot.) Or how many times he's tried to convince his partner to do it for him. (Spoiler: also a lot, to very little success usually.)]
i am so sorry, i don't think i ever got this notif in my inbox!
You know, I can imagine that. I guess you're not the type of person to be hunched over a desk, writing the afternoon away.
[ If that was meant to be an insult...Roland doesn't have much consideration to give it more force or fire. It is what it is; a general observation with a peppering of snark in his own brand, before he lets it drop, gaze returning to the menial yet significant task. ]
no worries! dw does that sometimes :\
Definitely! I'm the guy made for all the action. But, there ain't much I can't do. Even if sometimes it's the lame stuff.
[Like paperwork. And constructing monuments.]

[ He quirks an eyebrow at the feed. Personally, he doesn't think they'd ever really truly get along, not until things get better on another front, but...he can't get Reno on account of being unhelpful on the job. If he isn't throwing tantrums in forests, threatening to kill Roland, he actually does good work. So professionally, he yields. ]
If you won't do the paperwork, I can write it down for you. I need an honest assessment of every member of the team so we can help the rest of the passengers out on missions. [ He hates to relent but this was more important than any issue. ]
no subject
No way was he going to pass this opportunity up!
Reno leaned forward towards the camera, one hand held out to make a vague gesture. He couldn't quite keep the amusement out of his eyes though he did manage to keep his lips to a small quirk rather than an outright sly smirk.]
I mean, it is pretty lame to have to do paperwork while stuck on a void traversing train heading to a new and exciting destination. That's what secretaries are for, right? Scribbling down notes when ya tell 'em.
[He pointed at the Roland through the feed and then held his hand out flat, palm up.]
You want me that bad, mister paperwork?
no subject
...
...
Roland throws him the driest expression he can muster before he starts writing down on the paper, making the movement obvious so Reno would have no doubts about what was happening. That's what secretaries are for, please - ]
Name...Reno....
[ Look! He's being so nice and filling out your paperwork for you! Not even looking back up at the camera for it. SO NICE. ]
Skills...Number one...Gives a whole lot of lip...Won't help on a mission but can entertain at parties if you're bored...Skill number two...
[ Now he'll quirk his brow up at the ICP. This feels petty but hey. If he won't give him a serious answer!
Should he keep going with Skill #2 on his own, then??? ]
no subject
Hey, I am very entertaining at parties. Thanks for adding one of my many secondary talents! Though I have to object to the part about missions. I'm very helpful!...when I want to be.
[And when you're not getting in his way, Roland. He's been very helpful in the past, to just about anyone but the former president. He just tends to have fun doing it and that doesn't always agree with others.]
You think you know me well enough to finish on your own? Might not get that complete "honest assessment" you're looking for if you miss a skill of mine. Wouldn't want that~.
no subject
Great. It'll be here waiting, just for you. Please. Go show off...but on paper.
[ See what he did there????? ]
no subject
Why ya gotta be like that, yo? You were doing so good!
