Heya everyone! Last mission got me thinking about supplies some more, and what'd help to have beyond just healing. Plus, things we could be doing before a mission comes up to be prepared, you know?

So food's good to take, plus having some containers to take it in. Water bottles or somethin'--I know we can buy those from the train shop, but newbies can't get them with just three points.

What else do you guys think'd be good? And maybe some of us can prepare food for a mission before it comes up too? Or we can buy somethin' in too that keeps. [ He waves a hand. ]

I know some feel like they're not doing much 'cause they can't fight, so maybe we can come up with some ideas! Plus, you know--these missions aren't just 'bout fighting either. Soo, I just thought it'd be good to talk about.

Well--see ya around!

I know the bread is magical, Tidus, but it cannot appear on its own.

[He is totally grinning at Tidus right now.]

I might have slipped some into your bag when we were in the dressing car. What did you think?

[blitzcheer]

Huh--!

[ What the!! ]

I-- yeah, they were great, but when...! [ He's baffled, choking out a scoff. ] You coulda told me! I thought I forgot about putting them in, or the train gave us them!

[ He never did make up his mind. ]

When you mentioned you remembered to bring a water bottle, but never mentioned bringing something to eat, I figured it wouldn't hurt.

After the last mission, I spent time before this mission, after midnight, since Elves don't sleep as much, baking Lembas. It keeps for a very long time, is filling, and refreshes the body and soul, as I said.

I made enough to share with my friends, and was handing them out before and during the mission, in fact.

I have ordered the proper grain to make them even better next time.

[Glorfindel may come across as this paladin-like person...but he is really enjoying Tidus's astonishment.]

[ Well gosh... be all serious and call him out for being a forgetful-head! And speaking of his head, he's rubbing the back of it sheepishly. ]

Well... thanks. That's great! And I liked them. I kinda...forgot about food, after being in the village last mission. [ Which he doesn't need to confess to, but. There you go. ]

You don't know more foods like that, do you? Maybe we can get more.

[laurefindil]

A few, actually. Lembas is my go to, because, well...it's Lembas! [He laughs. It might be an elven thing.]

But I can make other items that can keep well, at least as long as the mission is projected to last. Absolutely. If anyone wants to help, I'm usually at it in the evening after the Train dims the lights between the time we pick up new passengers and when the mission starts.

[ Elven in-jokes?? It's okay, Tidus will let him have it. ]

Well if you need any ingredients, let us know! We can keep a list. I think food's a good thing to keep track of too. [ Wow, if Roland heard him... ] Light's better at this than me, the whole stock and supply thing, but we can't just focus on potions or weapons.. we'll miss what else is important!

I also now have seeds coming to grow the herbs needed to make healing salve, which is excellent for minor scratches, bruises, etc. The things that you don't want to waste a potion on because they are minor, but if you get enough of them, they can really tire you out and wear you down.

Slap on a little salve before sleeping, you are usually right as rain by morning. It also speeds healing of more serious wounds if you don't happen to have a potion or magic user available.

We can ask for input. Dried carrot jerky is...edible. But I still prefer Lembas. It has kept my people going for over Four Ages.

That's great! Roland was telling me about a plant. I don't really know about that stuff, but I'll leave it to you experts to say what's good.

[ Well, he already trusts them on that anyway. Glor sounds like he knows what he's doing, so good! ]

We've got time. Maybe...I can get a book in with some recipes, or someone else will know. Bars are always good for energy too. Nut bars, or protein. Gotta watch out for allergies though.
