Llama day 2 from Stores to Everywhere

[longforgottenpromise]

[Taiki is stood in front of the ICP in the stores, to not be underfoot in the kitchen as he did this. His face is stern, a lot sterner and stoic than most who knew the young man would expect. Not a twitch or a tremor betrayed just how nervous he was to be speaking over the ICPs. Or to be talking about this at all.]

Hello, I hope everyone who joined us yesterday have begun to settle in. For those who don't know me my name is Taiki and I'm on the Red team. However I rarely am with the red team on missions and that is part of what I wish to speak with you about today. It is a new month and that means there will be a mission in a few days time. I am someone who does not fight and cannot condone violence done towards any other creatures, I say this not to condemn those of you who feel differently but to explain why I struggle being of use on the missions we are sent on. I often wonder if it would be better to remain here on the train but I cannot contemplate leaving my friends to go into danger without me and the missions are to save worlds. If refusing to fight for a world would mean it's demise than abstaining from the mission would be an act of cruelty in itself. [He shook his head.] So I have been finding ways to help without being near the fighting. However it has come to my attention that there are others who feel the same way I do even if they have their own reasons for it.

I thought it might be useful, if together we made ourselves known and figured out ways we could provide assistance to help those on these worlds without causing any harm. If anyone has any ideas of tasks that could be done by those who cannot or will not fight please suggest them. I wish to be of use and I am sure others do too.

[His face grows a tiny bit lighter, though keeping the stoic mask.]

On a slightly related note I bought a selection of vegan foods including a meal kit to make plant burgers. [He says vegan like the word is still quite new to him and 'plant burgers' like he is very dubious about their existance.] I am planning on doing some cooking if anyone wanted to try any of it.

Thank you.

[ Because she'd just learned what the Purple missions are like: ]

What kind of missions does Red do?

[ She remembers what she'd been like a few years ago, before... well, that time. That's not to say she encourages violence now, but she acknowledges that it may be necessary sometimes. You just have to choose and act, and live with the consequences. ]

[A new person gets a slightly nervous smile before he answers the question.]

They are often given a target or something to fight. In the last mission they had to close demon gates, which were guarded by demons, another they had to destroy robots, once they had to travel to a water plane and fight a giant creature there. The one time I did go with red team they were investigating orbs but those orbs turned out to be monsters in darkness and I think they ended up having to travel to fight a large monster then as well. [He had been very ill by the end of that mission and his memories are patchy.]

[ She hums thoughtfully. ] Ah. So more... offense instead of defense, compared to Purple.

Combat is not for everyone, and wanting to pursue a non-violent path is something I understand. I'm in Purple, but I opted for a non-combatant role in the signup form.

[longforgottenpromise]

Yes, more offensive than what Purple are sent to do, for the most part. Ah yes, I also chose a non combatant role as well. I am not purple but I have friends in that team and sometimes help when their tasks have non combative elements.

[forceshadowed]

[ She smiles. ] Cooking is non-combative and food is essential for those going out to the field. That, I think, would be a valuable contribution, and you can just stay here?

[longforgottenpromise]

I could... Maybe I should. [Even if it would feel very wrong indeed.]

I guess that is what I am figuring out, if I should just stay out of things completely if I help before with preperations.

[forceshadowed]

Well, if you need someone to try your cooking, I'll be here.

[ Hopefully that'll make him feel better? That he's doing something useful? Jaisyn knows the feeling; she'd renounced the whole violence thing in the middle of a war before. Not that she'd remained in the sidelines for long. ]

[longforgottenpromise]

You would be welcome. Um... I'm in the kitchen now, if you are hungry.
