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.

[ Look at Taiki go. Sure, he may be looking all stoic, but Inigo figures that the other has got to be at least kind of nervous about talking to everyone like this, and especially about such a serious topic.. But it's why Inigo is smiling as he replies. He's so proud! ]

That's a great idea, Taiki. [ One that can't apply to Inigo, since he's too good of a fighter to let it go to waste, but.. ] Great job on thinking about this.

[He is terrified, the stoicism a mask he knows how to wear well but he drops it slightly to smile nervously at Inigo.]

Thank you. I just hope it can help some others as well.

[After all Merwen had been so sad after the last mission.]

[flatteries]

I know it will.

[ Sure, Inigo is biased and would never do anything but radiate absolute positivity for any Taiki plan, but he does believe this. ]

I know there's a lot of people who aren't used to fighting, they could really benefit from this too. I've been trying to help train some people, but.. no one who doesn't want to fight should have to be forced to.

[longforgottenpromise]

Yes, no one should have to fight. [He wished people wouldn't fight at all, but that's not helpful here so he doesn't voice it.]

Hopefully it will help those who don't fight to know they can still help.

[ Sorry, Taiki. Welcome to the depressing inevitability of war. ]

Tell me if there's anything at all I can do to help. [ He can't stick with them during missions, obviously, if they're going to stay away from fighting altogether.. But if there's anything he can prepare for them, or help Taiki with, Inigo would do it. ] You don't have to do everything by yourself.

[longforgottenpromise]

I know.

[He smiles.] I'm very lucky to have you.

[He really was. Things would be a lot less bearable without the friends he had made here.]

[flatteries]

[ As sweet as ever.

Inigo smiles. ]

Well, I guess I should stop hogging your time, mister new leader. [ You know, of the non-violence squad. Inigo clearly means it as a joke though, a gentle tease, since he winks right after saying it. ] I'm sure you have a lot of people to talk to about this. But you know where to find me!

[longforgottenpromise]

[He looks awkward at that but gives a smile back, because how can he not?]

Of course, I'll see you later. [He bites back the if that's alright with you that wants to come next. He's learning. Slowly.]

[flatteries]

[ TAIKI, HE'S SO PROUD OF YOU.

YOU CAN DO IT, BEST BOY. ]
