[Video] 30th Grasshopper

From: Cabin 4:B
To: Everyone

---

[Nita looks - perhaps to the relief of some - a lot less tired than she has been post-mission. She is holding a journal, rather than her Manual.]

Morning, everyone! This is just to let everyone know that, after Kaiba and I held the election for the remaining council seats, we have our winners!

I'm happy to announce that our new council members are Glorfindel and Gladio!

[And won't Gladio be glad she's not full-naming him on 'live tv,' so to speak?]

Now, I remember that we didn't set a specific date for a next meeting, the last time we had one; fellow council-members, when do you think would be best to have it?

[... Preferably before the next mission, if it's her choice!]

And, assuming all months on this calendar stay at thirty days, just want to remind you all that tomorrow's another platform day, plus when we get our new point tallies.

[So keep Tidus' post in mind for requests on what to get from the shop, basically.]

Think I just need another nap, though...

[And she signs off, shaking her head with a wry smile on her face, in the hopes no one caught that last bit!]

Comments

[ Kaiba looks like he's just woken up from a nap himself. ]

...thanks, Nita. And congratulations, Glorfindel and Gladio. I'll see you both soon.

Do we have a working list of suggested meeting topics? If we do, I'm adding 'emergency decision procedure if a large group of us disappears simultaneously' to the list.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[They're trading off on who's sleeping at any given time, clearly.]

The list from last time likely still applies - acquiring and distributing supplies, the logistics of having meetings themselves, contacting the train or whoever runs it...

[Nita blinks.]

And how we're handling weapons, if I remember right.

[Though maybe that's just on her mind right now.]

But... yeah, I hate that it fits, but...

I haven't exactly looked at the roster lately.

[She shakes her head.]

Don't know if I'll be able to sleep if I focus on that now, though.

[blue_ice]

A few more in gold, about as many as last time, but none of the council so far.

[ He keeps a close look for one reason. ]

We're doing everything we can. We helped the train put good leaders in place where they can help more, and we'll solve the other issues as they come.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita can understand; she nods, briefly solemn.]

Good.

[Then she allows herself a smile.]

Just a matter of knowing where to direct our attention...

[blue_ice]

I imagine if we make the wrong choice, the whole train will be bearing down on us.

Heh. You feeling better?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita snorts.]

Don't need to remind me of that, thanks.

[But she doesn't sound all that annoyed.]

And... I am, yeah. How 'bout you, Kaiba?

[blue_ice]

I'm alive. My f---people I'm concerned with are back. Can't ask for more.

Actually I could, but I don't feel like wasting my breath today. Did you find your sister?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita briefly pops one eyebrow up - she knows what you're implying, Kaiba! - but lets it rest after.]

Actually, I did. She showed up in the Luggage Car the day after we all got back.

No heart by her name, either, so apparently she'd just disappeared.

[And she was REAL annoyed at missing the mission!]

[blue_ice]

Good to hear. Now how about another nap, Nita?

Lil' extra thread wrap here for points!

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita huffs, but at this point she's gone all the way to being used to the requests.]

Fine, fine. I hear you.

[Then, she smiles, before turning off the feed.]

[laurefindil]

Thank you, Kaiba, I am honored to have been chosen by my peers.

May I suggest a topic? It is to encourage mental health amongst the passengers.

[blue_ice]

It's a fair one. We...tend to come from diverse backgrounds, and many of them are unhappy.

But how would we address that? I can't imagine many of us willing to go to therapy. And who would be the therapist?
