Congrats! Video

[runs_on_batteries]

[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.]

[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.

Congratulations, Ignis.

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.

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

Why thank you Evie.

[sweetnessandfight]

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.]

[sweetnessandfight]

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

[deductionrival]

Congrats, Ni-san!

[runs_on_batteries]

I refuse to much such a promise! Just for that.. you're off the council!

[Don't worry that irritated expression is totally fake.]

[sweetnessandfight]

As if you could manage without me!

[Don't worry, Tony, Sarai is taking it in the spirit she knows you're giving it.]

[runs_on_batteries]

I have and will do just fine, thank you Miss I-Need-A-Husband-The-Size-of-A-Whale's-Dick!

[sweetnessandfight]

How dare you air my dirty laundry, sir! Especially after I've done yours! [GASP OF SHOCK.]

[runs_on_batteries]

And here I thought we were keeping that a secret from that husband of yours.

[sweetnessandfight]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[runs_on_batteries]

Really? None? That night at the inn.. when you're hubby was away.. shall I go on?

[He's totally kidding around, but if this doesn't get him punched it'll be a miracle.]

[faithfulsupport]

That's far more information than I needed.

[If you two were his 'kids' back home, you'd both get a scolding but you're not. The crisp no nonsense tone is definitely present though.]

I don't really drink Tony, but you're more than welcome to. I wish you both a good day.

[And he turns off the feed.]

Action

[runs_on_batteries]

[Well shit. Someone didn't know they were just joking around. He curses again and starts hurrying around the train to locate the anal retentive misinformed and overly proper man.]

Action

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis is headed to his cabin when he hears a bunch of noise coming from behind him. Turning he sees Tony hurrying to go..somewhere. So have a confused looking advisor.]

Is something wrong?

[siriusly]

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

[siriusly]

Uh, thanks, I guess!

[runs_on_batteries]

[When Tony gets Ignis' attention, he finally slows and gives him a little, breathy grin.]

Yes, you nut. You got that conversation all wrong.

[runs_on_batteries]

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