POI 1 - VIDEO

Alrigh', there's lots 'f bribes goin' around, which 's great....f'r good stuff mostly, since Romeo's pretty great too...but I ain't got a bribe, I got a threat!

[One can practically see the steam of determination blast through his nostrils as he exhales there. Or wait maybe that was smoke??

Don't worry about it.

Katsuya holds up a sheep.]

See Amar here? Amar gets sheared a bunch after a mission. Like, a whole bunch. Gotta get rid'f all tha' wool from usin' cotton guard like a big bowlin' ball shield. Anyone ever see when half th' kitchen sinks were full 'f wool? Tha's why. They get big an' round an' stop fittin' through th' doors.

An' I gotta soak it after trimmin' it off, b'fore it can be used f'r anythin'. Like yarn an' such.

But ehhh... [He grimaces, and shrugs.] ....Bein' real, ev'n if all of us voted, no way we'd get th' pet care carriage tha' fast, so here's a better idea. Vote f'r yer small stuff, sure- but eh...try puttin' one 'r two toward a spot where we can keep all th' animal hair, capisce? It'll mean less for whoever's cleaaaaaaninnnnn..~

[So he says with a grin at the camera, before Amar the wooloo simply bleats.]

Oh an' uh...I mean I ain't one t' gripe abou' sharin' cots with animals 'r anythin', but th' title is 'Groom an' KENNELS' an' all, which 's pro'bly better than lettin' these guys run all over the train whenever righ'? So look, jus' toss a vote 'r two there while yer goin' nuts over everythin' else, I can't handle 600 on my own.

[A pause as he moves to turn the video off, before he shoots back into the screen.] OH AND UH, THANKS T' WHOEVER PUT IN ANOTHER VOTE F'R IT, YER GREAT!

[Okay now he's done.]

[luckydragonsfoot]

It was you!? Aw man, thanks lady!

[katsuya don't be rude-]

An' tell me abou' it! Was beginnin' t' think someone would get axed over 'Art' an' 'Pool'....

[motherofresistance]

[Didn't he already thank her? Twice now, technically? Ah well, she's not going to complain. She is going to be mildly amused though.]

Leia. And again, you're welcome.

Yes, those options really didn't stand a chance of winning in a straight poll. This way, while things that are more immediately necessary can be prioritized, people can still support additions they personally want as well.

sCREAMS I FORGOT HE DID THAT.....................................................

[luckydragonsfoot]

[Look, just pretend it really was just one thanks-]

Yeah! An' th' costs mean we get it all easier too- I might want th' kennel real bad, but I ain't saying no to new meat..!

XD

[motherofresistance]

Neither would I. It's going to take time to get any sort of new car added no matter what we do, so we may as well get some of the smaller things taken care of first.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Yeah!

If y' ask me, I'm lookin' forward t' those bed upgrades~!

[motherofresistance]

That was one of the things I wasn't particularly concerned about, personally, but if it makes people a bit happier, I suppose it's worth the votes.

laughs in 'it said bedding, jou'

[luckydragonsfoot]

Hey, some folks get cramped!

...course I got no idea how they'd fix tha' problem...

[They won't!]

Re: laughs in 'it said bedding, jou'

[motherofresistance]

[Leia chuckles. Yes it's a bit hard to fix that.]

One of the few situations in life where being on the short side is an advantage.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Mannnnn, here I am at a 'normal' height an' thinkin' it's cramped, tha's a good point...I can't imagine how anyone built like a giraffe 's doin then!

[They're both so lucky, in their own way!!]

[motherofresistance]

Not especially well would be my guess, unless they're used to cramped sleeping spaces. Though most spaces on the train could be considered a bit on the cramped side, depending on how many people are in them at once.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Makes me really wonder how it's gonna get fixed...

[It isn't! But oh well.]

[motherofresistance]

Somehow I doubt it'll be fixed entirely. The train is always going to be limited by being a train, after all. But there are definitely some improvements that can be made.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Then we can keep on hopin'..!

[Well. He can certainly do THAT, yes.]

[motherofresistance]

We certainly can. And in the meantime, actively work to make things better in the ways available to us.

[Which, again, the voting system made much easier.]
