Council Meeting # 1!

[runs_on_batteries]

[ooc: I thought this might be easiest for people to tag and talk. So the invitation to the dining car is going to be through the ICP, the actually discussions aren't. I'm listing a few topics as starts, but add your own if you'd like. Please indicate which conversations people should be able to threadjack and which ones they shouldn't.]

[ICP Part: OTA?]

[Mid-morning on Basoon 15, Tony appears on the ICP looking freshly showered and still in his sleeper 1C room.]

Council members, please join me in the dining car. It's time we finally got together and discussed some matters that have come up on board. Ash, that means you too.

[Council Meeting Part: Council Members Only]

[When the council members arrive, they'll find tea and coffee have been freshly made and a freshly baked coffee cake with small plates and a spatula are next to it.]

Welcome everyone! Please, get yourself some refreshments and have a seat. Since Manabu appears to be missing, I've asked Ash to join us as the alternate.

[ooc- in case anyone forgot the council members are: Tony, Feanor, Manabu, Sarai, Dread, and Lightning with Ash as the official alternate.]

Where I am from we had what were called linkpearls - they allowed for long distance communication. Mayhap we could make something with a similar function so that we may remain in contact while spread out?

[This has him cock his head to the side.]

I've heard of linkpearls before, so you've used them as well?

[runs_on_batteries]

How did they work?

[bombashbunny]

[ Looking to Ignis. ]

We did - you had them where you're from?

[ After his response, she looked back to Tony. ]

I cannot speak for Ignis but in Eorzea they were pearls that you would mount on a clasp for your ear, like an earring. They were attuned to the world aether, and you would tune them to the aether of others to create channels through which you could talk.

I do not think actual linkpearls are a realistic solution here. The Garleans had some sort of device they could use, but it is limited by distance.

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis nodded back at Ash.]

I did not use them myself.

[This is where he's careful.]

Someone I traveled with had met someone with that sort of device. I did not personally see it, I only know that it rang as if it were a cell phone or a regular telephone if you will.
