[Tony's counted up the ballots and finished up with lunch. He's still in the dining carriage looking relaxed and pleased with the news he's giving.]

Congratulations to the new Council Members!

Those voted in are Sarai, Lightning, Feanor, Manabu, Dread, and Ignis! Ash is going to be an alternate.

So if you have any issues you'd like us to address, please contact one of the members and they can bring it up at our first meeting.

A-aa...

[a promotion?? a desk job?? consulting?? he’s not sure how to frame this.]

Well. That’s that then, huh?

What’s next?

[runs_on_batteries]

Well you could at least try to sound more enthusiastic.

[A smirk.]

Our job is simply to keep this train and the people in it from crashing and dying. Think you can handle that?

[He's teasing, he knows you will work for this goal anyway.]

[siriusly]

Well, I was going to do that anyway. [just as keikaku] I'm pretty sure I can handle it.

[runs_on_batteries]

Alright, first stop. We're finding you a funny bone and Ignis some booze.

[siriusly]

You mean you went through it all already?

[deductionrival]

Congrats, Ni-san!

[siriusly]

Uh, thanks, I guess!

[afterburner]

Good job! I knew you could do it!

[no, she's not even trying to troll you this time, Manabu.]

[siriusly]

Thanks!

[beat.]

I...didn't actually do anything!

[afterburner]

You...got named to the council? So you got voted for? So that means something, doesn't it?

[Is he trolling her? Because if so she 100% deserves it, but. She can't tell.]

[siriusly]

Well, I...guess so. But I mean, I didn't do anything to cause that. Everyone else did.

[Ignis appears on screen and his tone is professional.]

I most certainly look forward to working with you and the rest of the team to whom I offer my congratulations.

Re: [Video]

[runs_on_batteries]

Relax, this isn't the Miss America Pageant.

[He gives Ignis a playful grin.]

Glad to have you aboard.

[faithfulsupport]

[He's familiar with the term of pageant, but has no idea what the other thing is.]

I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar as to what America is.

[Ignis then slightly shakes his head, because he could then hear the humour in the other's tone. The advisor wouldn't admit that he appreciated it though because it was something he hadn't realized he'd been missing. The boys back home teased him as Tony was doing now. Hoping his slight smile wasn't showing, he nodded and the business tone was back.]

Thank you.

It's a contest from where I'm from that is notorious for overly idealistic answers to questions.

[He chuckles again.]

It's my new goal in life to see you lighten up. Let's hope wherever we stop next has some liquor.

Tony, if you're going to take one of our new counselors drinking, please don't get him as inebriated as you did my husband when you took him drinking, all right?

[Sarai's not inclined to be a party pooper, normally, but it's hard to make good decisions when you've got a hangover the size of Dread.]

Re: [Video]

[blueberryprincess]

Congratulations, Ignis.

[faithfulsupport]

[He's both surprised and touched that she reached out to him.]

Why thank you Evie.

Re: [Video]

[afterburner]

Yeah, congratulations, Iggy!

[No trolling here, either. He might have to forgive her the nickname, though.]

[Video]

[faithfulsupport]

[He paused a little at the 'Iggy' but nodded with a smile anyhow.]

Thank you kindly Renee.

Re: [Video]

[afterburner]

You're welcome. I know you'll do great!

[sweetnessandfight]

Let me extend my congratulations to all my fellow counselors! I'll do my best to serve you all, I promise!

[stealsyourheart]

Yay Sarai-san!

[sweetnessandfight]

Thank you, Kaito!

[stealsyourheart]

I'm sure you'll do an awesome job. [ He grins at her ]
