Video day 23 to everywhere- from cabin 4:D

[longforgottenpromise]

[Taiki is sat on the bench in the small cabin, looking straight at the camera with a very serious expression. Despite the fact that speaking to so many people, even over a video is a terrifying concept and despite the cloud of sadness that still clings to him nothing shows on his face. He looks perfectly calm, though he doesn't smile as he begins.]

Good morning. I apologise for disturbing you all. I was handed this ballot. [He holds it up.] Unfortunately I disappeared for a little while and so I have missed any run up to this election. [At least he understands the concept of an election, even if political science wasn't exactly a subject he had paid much attention to in school.]

I am still relatively new to this train and so I don't know most of the people on this list. I don't feel I can cast a vote without knowing what the candidates stand for and so, though I apologise if it is covering ground that was covered whilst I was away, I would like to know something of each candidate.

Thank you for your time.

[ Curufin was primarily a fighter and a forge-master, but he ran the Fire Brigade, managed the recruiting, the training, and the building of equipment, and the record-keeping. And of course he was the Fire Captain when the Great Fire swept the entire city and all the surrounding territory. Nobody had thought about the need for such a service before Curufin did. ]

I agree, the uniform is strange. Not everybody on Red Team is a warrior, but Red Team always gets the assignment that involves the most fighting. And not everybody on Orange Team has tech skills, but Orange Team tends to get the technical assignments. However, a friend of mine was wondering if the colors have some sort of magical significance that we've never been told about. Hard to say, without more information, whether color on the Voidtrecker is entirely for practical purposes.

A magical explanation. [That would be strange and he couldn't think of what it might mean. What might it mean to be on one team over another.

But he nodded, he had already been told red team got the most fighting. He had no idea why he was there. The only explanation he could think of was that he had been put there because Lord Gyousou was there.]

We do need more information. It seems we still know so little...
