video and action in the dining car - Grasshopper 3 after a late lunch

[ Over the ICP and in the upper dining floor (and heard in the lower one too), a whistle rings out, and Tidus stands as the culprit by the ICP, looking giddy yet confident. ]

Yo, listen up! Me and Light want to talk to you all about missions since one’s coming up soon. This won’t take long, so you can get back to chatting in a sec, okay? Alright, [ and there’s a grin his voice as he says, ] Light?

[ where is Lightning? On the other dining floor. She’s already stood at the whistle, arms folded loosely over her stomach, and at his prompting, she clears her throat and hits the button on the ICP she’s next to to switch the broadcast. ] A lot of shit’s happened, and some of you haven’t seen a mission yet. So... we’ve written out what to expect, based on the last seven missions. That, and we’ve got some updates about the supply situation after.

Long story short. Red gets the heavy combat, or the big target. Blue gets the defence, rescue or some mystical mumbo jumbo. Orange get the puzzles, the machines, or evacuations. Purple... get everything else.


It’s a mix: Purple and Blue have a few defending jobs, but you’ll see what the idea is with the past mission notes we’ve got.

... Right. First... I guess it’s not come up, but there’s no penalty for going on a mission that doesn’t match your shirt. When you read the brief, you should choose based on what you think you’ll be able to do. Red and Blue more than the others, because they’re… well. [ She gestures around, to the Purple and Orange uniforms outweighing Blue and Red more than two to one. ] Obviously, don’t switch to ‘em if you’re not confident in your ability to defend yourself. Ask around first, maybe go a few rounds, test yourself.

[ Is that all? She thinks so. ] Tidus?

Right! We don’t want anyone risking their own lives by team swappin’, so go with what suits you.

With that said - some of you might’ve heard Light reaching out about supplies, healing and protection. We’ve got some potions and full heals going - magic restoring and health drinks, that kind of thing. There isn’t enough yet to cover everyone, but if you’re planning to fight or heal, just ask. We’re still looking into more protection, but if you think you can help out, let us know.


If you don’t know what you’re gonna be doing on the mission… then read the notes. Talk to someone. If you wanna learn how to fight, or give first aid, or use the comms, whatever... there’s people who’ll help you.

’kay, I think that’s it... if you’ve got any questions or you wanna know about the rundown we made, we’ll be in the standard coach with a few copies and leaving some around. Sooo…

[ ...he looks around at the table of people whose lunch he interrupted, and instinctively puts a hand to the back of his head, throwing a sheepish look. ]

Uh- thanks! Tidus and Light signing off?

[ End of transmission! They sit back down. ]

( ooc: Tidus and Light can be spoken to either in the dining cars or in the standard coach, over the ICP or in person! Mingle, etc, and let us know if you want one or the other. )

[ It's good to feel her strength anyway, and it's always good to get some of a struggle, but eventually Tidus manages to get her hand slammed down with a- ] Aha!

[ And okay, he may be grinning, but this is about as far as he's going to get with being smug! ]

Alright, I guess if we have to arm wrestle our opponents in submission, you're not gonna do too bad out there.

[ Della clicks her tongue - annoyed, but not angry. Nobody likes losing, but she's taking it in stride. ]

... Two out of three?
blitzcheer: (know what that means?)

You know I was trying to do something serious, don't you.

[ Not to say she can't convince him to put his arm back up, but. Della. ]

C'mooon, I'm totally being serious!

[ 75% serious, at most right now. ]

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-07-10 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Serious about arm wrestling me!

[ Which, there you go--his elbow is back on the table again. ]

This is how they should pick people for the council. What do you say? You beat me, and I'll vote for you.

[personal profile] sos_pilot 2020-07-10 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure I'll take your -

Wait, what?

[ The council nomination is news to her. ]

What was that about voting and the council and me?
blitzcheer: (skip to end game pls)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-07-11 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. You want to? You can put people's names in. Then people get to vote for you.

[ just normal stuff, right?? ]

Noooo no no no no. Look, Tidus, part of being a good adventurer is knowing your limits - what you can and can't do. And there's no way I can be on the council.
blitzcheer: (whoa woah hey heyyy)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-07-11 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs lightly, a little taken by the extent of her reaction, but not totally floored by it. ]

Then I won't! That's the whole point of asking, right? I wasn't going to do it if you didn't want to -- I didn't want to put that pressure on you.

Thanks, Tidus. I appreciate that. I've been... trying not to make more huge, huge mistakes.
blitzcheer: (ur not me mam)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-07-12 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I wouldn't say you'd be that bad at it. You seen the people on the council already?
sos_pilot: (there's a bar in far bombay)

[personal profile] sos_pilot 2020-07-12 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but I know I'm not that good with huge decisions and organizations and being in charge of people. We're better off pretending I was never nominated.
