Video; Afternoon Catfish Day 23

[runs_on_batteries]

Good afternoon, Voidtreckers. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Tony Stark. I have a few matters to discuss with all of you.

For those who are new to this train, please fill out the questionnaire that was attached to each ICP in the 'welcome packet'. Yes, these answers are kept strictly confidential and the only purpose for me collecting them is to find some kind of pattern in being brought here. For those who have been here longer, please check if you've completed all the questions as I've added a few. If this irritates you, blame Peter Parker.

Anyway, as requested, I'm going to be giving the Train Council a debriefing on my findings so far in the next few days. Spoiler alert, I've found very little patterns.

For anyone interested, I'll be posting a list of currently offered classes and at what time per week on the door going into the dining carriage. As of right now, there are yoga classes every morning at 8:30, people offering various types of sparring lessons, and I'll be starting school with a class on math and a class on science later this week. If you're interested, let me know so I can give you a pre-class test to see where your current level is.

Does anyone garden? I've been working on an update ventilation system since we have kids on the train and those who potential have compromised breathing. It occurred to me, we might benefit greatly if we started to add small gardens throughout the train. I'll create proper lighting. If someone can build some gardening boxes, that would also be appreciated. As of now I have a list of the items in the kitchen that can be planted for those who would enjoy such activities.

Lastly, is the damn book-demon idiot still occupying and being a pain in the ass in the garden carriage? You've got one hour to cut that out.

Feanor, come find me. We need to talk.

[Maybe someone else can teach the less important subjects?

He grins immediately when she responds to his message. He's always happy to see Madoka.]

Why not start a club here? There's already one club on board for insomnia people and there seems to be quite an interest.

[He has no idea how flowering plants would work on board.]

[happyends]

Huh?

[ The suggestion of starting a club here seems to make her blink in surprise. ]

I guess a club could be fun.. And it'd be easier to organize everything that way.. [ Although it seems there's a bit of his suggestion that hasn't gotten through entirely to her yet, since the first thing she asks after that is-- ] But who do you think should be the leader then? Is there anyone here who could do that..?

[ Yes, she's asking him that because he's the Big Authority in her mind. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

It would.

[God, stop being so cute! He really can't handle it. Where was Ignis to pawn this diabetes inducing sweet child off on?]

I do and yes there is.

[Smirk.]

I don't know if you've met her yet. She's a talented, lovely young woman who has great ideas and is one of the most loved people on this train. She's far more capable than she gives herself credit for and is currently talking to the most handsome man on the train. Any guesses?

[happyends]

[ You can't just pawn a child off to the other parent when it's being too cute, Tony!!

But despite his latter question being very obvious.. it apparently isn't to Madoka, as with most things that completely go over the girl's head. She looks like she's giving it very obviously some genuine thought as to who it could be, before looking half-shy as she finally speaks up. ]

Um.. I'm.. not sure what kind of men you find handsome, mister Stark..

[runs_on_batteries]

[You and Romeo are just too innocent. They melt his brain!

He. Just. Stares. That had been the perfect comeback except it was done so innocently, he just.. how do you respond to something like that? [See Icon. This, so hard.]]

Wow.. um. First of all, every man is referring to himself when he says something like that.

Second, since you asked, the answer is also Ignis. Obviously. Though the elves are quite easy on the eyes as well.

Thirdly, I was meaning you.

[happyends]

[ Literally any other thought she may have had about his other points are gone the moment he drops that third one. ]

H-- Huh?!

[ She looks like he just told her some definitely more drastic news than 'I think you should be leader of a club'.. ]

B-But mister Stark, there's no way I could be a leader..!

[runs_on_batteries]

[He chuckled, watching her brain short circuit.]

Yes, there could. You would be perfect at it. You've got the heart and the brain and.. did you forget what I just said about everyone on the train loving you? You might not have faith that you can do this, but I do.

[happyends]

I.. I don't think everyone does.. [ But the protest is weak. If not just because Madoka would feel like it's too rude to outright say that's false. ]

But if you have faith in me, then I guess I shouldn't disappoint you. Um, maybe.. I can try...

[ So enthusiastic, clearly. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

Everybody does. [He corrects her gently with a nod of his head.]

Come on, you'll be fantastic at it. It'll be fun!

[He couldn't imagine it really being fun, but for some god-awful reason people liked doing it.]

When have I ever steered you wrong?

[happyends]

You never have, of course..!

[ She may have a little too much faith in him though. ]

I.. I'll ask people if anyone would like to join a club like that, then! [ Even if she's going to get distracted by the fun snow and then less fun mission snow first, ssh. It'll happen in time. ] Please look forward to the pretty plants and flowers..!

[runs_on_batteries]

[Ugh, she was just too much for him! God, why did you make something that ridiculously cute and happy? He might need to bake her something later.. or ask Ignis to.]

I will. Take care and let me know if you need anything, kiddo.
