Poi 01: Afternoon

[fivemilesdeep]

[The video in the kitchen car turns on, showing Ryo holding up a tray of freshly baked muffins - half poppyseed and half chocolate chip, from the looks of it - and wearing a smile a bit more mischievous than usual.]

I don't know how many people have looked at the shop today, but we can now vote on improvements to the train. I had six votes, and I'd imagine most people have about that many.

I also have freshly baked muffins, and I'd like to offer a trade: if you vote to add scaffolding in the garden car, I'll give you a muffin, as long as I still have them available. If we get enough votes for scaffolding and you still want a muffin, voting for protein and dairy or for meat will also count. I'll be in the kitchen for a little while if you want to come talk to me.

[Yes, he is happily bribing the train to get what he wants. No, he has no shame - at least, not over this.]

Also, Thanatos, can you come see me when you get a minute? No rush.

[There's a poppyseed muffin set aside for Thanatos. Ryo takes care of his friends.]

Let me know what you want and I'll set it aside for you.

[tactlesstantei]

Alright, how about a poppy seed muffin? [The first one she'd gotten was chocolate chip, so now that's one of both kinds.]

I'll be down to get it soon, thanks! [Just as soon as she votes!]

[fivemilesdeep]

I'll save one for you. Thanks for your votes!

[Shame? Ryo? Definitely not right now.]

[tactlesstantei]

No problem!

[Look, it's a delicious bribe so Masumi won't complain about it. Instead, she puts in her vote and makes her way to the kitchen to collect her muffin.]

Hey, I voted for that garden scaffolding!

[fivemilesdeep]

[He can sense Masumi coming and has already set out a poppyseed muffin for her. He greets her with a smile when she enters and gestures towards the muffin.]

Thank you! It's all yours.

[tactlesstantei]

Thanks to you too. [She takes the muffin, but doesn't eat it just yet, instead just holding it as she talks to Ryo.]

So what kind of plants are you going to use the scaffolding for? [She doesn't really garden, but she's curious what it'll be used for.]

[fivemilesdeep]

Honestly, I have no idea. I figured I'd talk with Persephone and see if she had any ideas. I just knew we needed the space.
