Day 26 - After Poll Appears (Audio Only)

[wewillwewill]

I would like to ask after the nature of this poll.

Is it a regular occurrence? Is the inquiry intended to be abstract or does it have an specific origin and purpose unknown to those who might have become passengers since the last platform?

Comments

There are several which seem to have merit at face value. Though the abstract manner of presentation is of concern.

The 'Lab', if it is a laboratory in the conventional sense would provide a consolidated place of research and study for experimental pursuits.

I was under the impression there is already a carriage for games purpose. Would this then be further material or a stop the train provides for recreation? Similarly so for 'Art', 'Pool', 'Plants' and 'Dance'.

A kennels carriage would be another priority. I have noticed a number of beast companions which may need to be provided their own arrangements, given the nature of our personal quarters. Providing such habitat and the space for the wherewithal of their keep would alleviate space constraints.

I am not certain what is meant by clocks and what purpose they would hold. I am curious as to its meaning, yet that alone is not enough reason.

I will need to weigh the options.

[Did we mention this guy really thinks about the whole picture and the best choice for the whole?]

What of you? Have you a preference?

[blitzcheer]

[ ...that was a lot more words than Tidus was expecting to hear, but well, he asked! And since the guy asked back- ]

Eh, I dunno. Kennels wouldn't be bad with all the animals around; I don't know what people do with them that have them now. Leave them in their room for a week with food and water? [ ...which probably isn't the case, but also, what is? ]

Games probably means more games. Like...maybe not even a carriage? Like the clocks. ...or, I hope. [ Said a notch lower. Ahem. ] I kinda wanted those ages ago so we could put together meetings easier, training and clubs, that sort of thing. But there's no way anyone's gonna want clocks over a carriage.

[ At least, he can't imagine that ever happening. ]

But, maybe I'll vote art? Some friends've wanted it for a long time. Or, another would like the dance car... and plants are good for more planting space.

[ ehhhh, so many choices. ]

I'll probably think about it later.

[ There's always time. ]

[wewillwewill]

Hm. If the beasts are currently occupying the cabins, it seems a kennel may well benefit the community better than a laboratory. For all the inconvenience of its current location there is at least a space dedicated to the pursuits of science and alchemy. Perhaps further space may be organized.

Listening to the conversations around us, I am also beginning to wonder if a vote in hopes of a laboratory carriage will actually prove beneficial. There seem to be more fields of study than one carriage can contain.

Then too should the other choices and their meaning be weighed upon. It is good you feel the need to think carefully upon it.

[blitzcheer]

It's less thinking carefully about it, more just seeing this happen every month, you know? The people actually with pets would be good to ask what they do with their animals, but at least there's a few of them I always see around.

[ So, it seems like...a concern. ]

I'd rather we have a way we could work towards these things, but, train doesn't agree with me! [ Pah. ] Anyway, if the science-y people want space... well, sure, we can figure something out? But people've been making stuff even like this. Entrapta made her big robo-pal. And apparently they made some drones people can use?

[ Soo... they're doing something. ]

Plus, you don't know what you're gonna get. It's probably gonna be a room with some cupboards and sinks and that's it.

[wewillwewill]

This vote occurs once a month? Are the elements different each time or is there a chance for repetition?

[Goodness there's a lot involved in just this polling system alone.]

The current system may be somewhat better than an open communal effort, given the transitory nature of the passengers and their changing needs and desires. Yet without full context of what will be provided, the benefits of anonymity are lost.

Hm. It may also be insightful to speak to those who share a room with those currently in possession of companion beasts, should you pursue similar inquiry.

[Consider it a suggestion offered in thanks for Tidus's about talking to animal owners!]

[blitzcheer]

Repeats, basically. There were one or two months it did somethin' different - I think we didn't get it when we went to an island for a vacation, [ ""vacation"" ] or the time it did Q&A, but the poll's basically the same stuff 'til it gets something new to add.

[ So, if he remembers right- ] Kennels are new. And dance. 'Cause they got brought up on the feedback post, I bet.

[ ...and he definitely remembers mentioning about all the cats around........ ]

But I'll see who I know. You know, just an empty car wouldn't be bad. Arts, I know that's been around forever. A space we could mess around with, section it out and turn it into whatever? That'd be fun.

[ Ha- ] But I guess that's the sports gym or standard car most days.

[wewillwewill]

How interesting.

[Feedback, Q&A, Polls. Noted.]

An empty car would likely invoke discord as to what should be done with it, for all it would be a healthy diversion to focus upon between stops. I suppose there is more merit in at least having some sense of preconceived purpose to new additions.

Thank you for speaking with me. I will be sure to give the matter careful thought before making my choice.

[blitzcheer]

Sure, happy picking. [ Or something. ] Don't worry about it too much. People are gonna pick for what they like, soo.

I guess pick for yourself too. 'least, throw in a lil' personal preference.
