Domino Day 18 [Video]

[so_dark_a_road]

Good morning! As you probably already know by now, Eva Iden'no has departed from the VoidTrecker Express. She was a good team leader, a good friend, and a thoughtful train companion. I think we will all miss her. I know that I will.

But on to business matters. Tony Stark has asked me to replace her as Orange Team leader. I'd very much like to take on that responsibility, but I'd like to hear what the rest of Orange Team has to say about that. I'd be proud to be be your leader, but let me know what you think.

If by some chance Eva returns, as the departed sometimes do, I will give her back the team leader's job, if she wants it.

[ OOC: Passengers who are not on Orange Team are welcome to comment as well. ]

Thank you, Ignis!

[faithfulsupport]

You're quite welcome. Glad to have you on the council, and I look forward to working with you.

Tony did bring up that besides us needing a new Orange Team leader, he might want me on the council. But truthfully, I'd rather be Orange Team leader. That's what I told him. I think Reigen would be the best choice for the council, if you're trying to recruit.

Ignis shook his head. "Not at all, but that does bring up a good point I will have to ask about later."

There was a small shrug. "Its your team and you're the leader, so the decision remains yours." Far be it from Ignis to try and pull one of Tony's moves regarding team and council decisions.

You're not trying to add anyone to the council right now? Well, maybe some day I'll want to be a council member. But right now, I'd rather throw all of my energies into action, so Orange Team leader is a good spot for me. Anyway, you already have my father on the council. I'm not sure you'd need two Fëanorians. [ Smile. ]

"No." Ignis was firm on this. Right now his duties as both Blue Council member and Blue Team leader didn't give him enough to warrant delegating the task so he didn't. And Ignis liked to work and wear different hats as he did back home, so he was perfectly content to not add anyone.

There was a smile about Feanor. "I'd rather find the dynamic interesting to see you two work together. But it's your team and your decision."

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufn could certainly understand that. Back in his own world, he had worn more than one hat, and he wouldn't have given that up for anything.

He smiled back. "My father and I do work well together. I might not be so compliant as I was in the old days, before I had my own territory to manage. But still, the two of us have much in common and are joyful to have found one another again. So perhaps our dynamics would be interesting for an observer. But let me consider the council seat again at some point in the future. Maybe Eva will come back and want the Orange Team leadership back again and I'll be casting about for something else to do. We'll see."

Ignis nodded. While he didn't have much of a relationship with his own father, it was heartwarming to see someone else have one. The father he knew moreover was Noct's father King Regis. After all it was that man that had charged Ignis with keeping the young Prince safe.

To Curufin he nodded. "I understand perfectly well."

Far be it from the Blue Team leader to second guess anyone else's position or thoughts because it was his way of showing respect. And, he wouldn't want it done to him, so he showed the same kindness and courtesy that he would want.

[so_dark_a_road]

"Thank you," said Curufin, sincerely.

He appreciated that kindness and courtesy. Ignis was one of his favorite people here on the train.

[faithfulsupport]

There was another nod.

"You're quite welcome, you take care and I look forward to working more with you."

[so_dark_a_road]

"I will take care, and you do the same. I as well look forward to working more with you."
