Council Meeting: Video/ Dining Car's ICP is Muted
[ooc: Each header is different topic for the council members to discuss. Please tag as one group thread underneath. If you want, you can add new headers for additional conversations. Handwave Tony either bringing this up for your character or when he asks if there is any other business, your character presented the topic. Also OOC note, this was the best way I could come up with, so hopefully this works.]
[Following an announcement early that day, Tony let everyone know where the council meeting was being held and that they were going to have it over the ICP so everyone could see it. He promised at that time that there will be a chance for asking questions at the end.
Tony has rigged the ICP in the dining room to stay on video and it's angle is at one end of the long table and he is at the other. The volume on the ICP in the dining room has been disconnected, but everyone else can hear it.
For the council members, they will find a stack of agendas and pens when they arrive and at a side table there is coffee, tea, lemonade, and a few hor d'oeuvres prepared.
Tony is wearing his three piece suit instead of the usual train garb and greets everyone with a mildly friend smile.]
Welcome, please take a seat. Grab a refreshment if you'd like.
[Once everyone is settled..]
Thank you for coming to our first council meeting with our newly elected group. Congratulations, you just got handed a thankless job that everyone will have strong opinions about how you're screwing this up. That's politics and you need to be able to take some heat because of it. Fortunately, there's a majority on this train that believe you have shown great leadership skills and you've earned their trust. If we all do our best, then we can sleep with a clear conscience.
So here are the cards we've been dealt. We're a group of very different individuals from a myriad of backgrounds and skill sets who have been taken against our will from our lives, our family, our time, and our world. For some of us, this is a positive, but the majority it is not. We want to find a way to get people home who want to go back to their old lives. In the meantime, we're tasked by an unknown power to save worlds on the brink who badly need rescuing. We've been given a limited amount of resources to do that and everyone here could likely list a dozen or more things that should be here to complete those tasks that aren't. In fact, probably everyone here has their own set of goals that may or may not coincide with the ones the train has given us or our train-mates would be pleased about.
The goal of this council is obvious. We want everyone to be safe, healthy, and supported on this train. Exactly how we're going to achieve that is what's up for debate.

But yeah, I think we can come up with a list.
[She puffs up her cheeks.]
No stealing but what about trading? [Without telling someone that she's switching out their things...]
no subject
Who did this? We should know so we can keep an eye on them.
[His concern was replaced quickly by her next statement, turning to irritation.]
What? No! You can't take someone else's belongings without their permission. We already have no control over being here, we shouldn't add to that feeling. Isn't that part of your whole philosophy about the black team?
no subject
ShinRa... It's a company and one of there jerk operatives showed up here. [Cue all the grumpy grumbling. In reality, it's good that Yuffie hadn't attacked him on site. She's going... sorta.]
And yeah, yeah. No stealing. [A beat.] Anymore. I might have some stuff to return but it's fine. [She waves a hand as if it isn't important.] This was before team black. I was bored and had just showed up. [Hence stealing.]
