Video - Grasshopper 20

[ The ICP comes on, broadcasting a message to all from the Library. Two figures stand side by side, one decked in elegant custom garb; the other in utilitarian Purple, with the standard coat that comes with their gear. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Glorfindel to the left, his smile open and inviting; next to him is Roland, arms crossed against his chest, expression a bit more serious. ]



Greetings, all! For those who are new to the train, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Glorfindel, and this is a brief announcement for those on the Purple Team. And perhaps, for those who may just be interested in what we have to say, colors aside. [ There's a playful lilt at the end of his statement, but he continues with the broadcast. ] You are all cordially invited to the very first Purple Team Mixer, to be held at around Grasshopper 27 in a location to be announced, on the Train.

[ Roland nods and continues where Glorfindel left off. ]

That's right. My name is Roland for our newcomers onboard, and the purpose of this mixer is so we can get to know one another a little bit better. We've got a lot of new additions to the Team, and Glorfindel and I - [ He glances to his side. ] will be acting as two of Purple's Team Leads starting now, as well. We hope to work hard for your continued trust. [ He makes a fist with his right hand and emphasizes his point with a small pump in the air. Glorfindel dovetails after. ]

The mixer is quite simple really! Aside from mingling and gathering as one, we'd also like to discuss various topics of interest such as supplies, mission protocols, training opportunities, and how the two of us can help any one of you, in any way we can.

So it's a mixer and a Purple town hall, if you'd like to look at it from that perspective. If you have ideas on how to improve things, this is the time to come and share your thoughts. We welcome it, and we'll do our best to facilitate everything neatly and concisely so the right steps can be put into place for the betterment of all.

[ Both of them sound like they've done this before...The tone shifts slightly more pleasant now, a little more casually as Glorfindel lights up (not literally, not yet!) ]

Plus, there will be bar snacks. [ 'Bar' meaning yknow. He's trying to be subtle! There are children onboard!! ] Oh, and of course, non-alcoholic beverages too, for those who are underage or can't have alcohol! It's going to be fun, even if we'll be planning alongside the chatting!

[ Roland smiles with a side glance to his new work husband partner, and turns back to close off the broadcast. ]

Glorfindel and I are ready to be of service to the team. Purple is made up of a lot of talented folks, and with our combined efforts, I'm certain we can make our dynamic even better than it already is. We're looking forward to seeing everyone then. [ The two share a look before nodding to the ICP. ]

Thank you for your time. Over and out.

(OOC: either glorfindel and/or roland will be threadhopping to reply to tags on this post! for Purple-mates, the actual mixer log with top-levels will be on August 23 IRL, so after the beach episode. so we can all have fun first!! or potentially get memshare trauma, which is the best time to discuss work, right?? please use this as your IC channel to discuss things and we can assume that these 2 will be taking notes as they go! )

Sounds like it'll be fun! But where are you getting the booze from? I know we're not the ones on cooking duty right now, but I haven't exactly seen any alcohol in the kitchen car.

I second the where is the booze coming from!

You didn't know you can just buy it from the Train Shop? It dispenses immediately, just like the softer beverages.

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-08-08 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I am willing to spend some points to purchase it from the Train Shop.

The spirits I usually buy are quite potent, so advice on non-Elven drink would be appreciated.

Ah, I must've missed that. I was only looking for books, and then I saw the animals option and got my cat. Still need to name the little dude.

"Considering the number of members of the Purple Team, even if only 50% show up, we'll have a good turnout," Glorfindel pointed out.

"We'll want to start the discussion part before the drinking gets serious, though."

I look forward to being introduced once he is himself.

Are there any snacks you might be interested in?

[personal profile] unholyandbroken 2020-08-08 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
I just buy cigarettes but good to know.
blitzcheer: (know what that means?)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-08-08 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Good going, guys! Really professional! Hey Glor, I didn't know you became a Team Lead too. What's next? Captain of the train?

[ Heh! It's fond sassing all around--because hey, don't think he's going to leave a certain other 'older than they look' individual out. ]

And Roland, I thought this was just a head count job. You trying to go over and above here?

One question. What's a mixer? Because I'm i pretty sure you're not talking about the kitchen tool.
blitzcheer: (everyone gets a keyword!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-08-08 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Count? [ --jars? Carrots? Why is it his mind goes to those things before the thing he just made a reference to, the subject this entire two man show is for? ]

Isn't there four of you now? What about the other two?
blitzcheer: (huffy duffy puffy)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-08-08 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Pass!

[ Joke or not, Tidus doesn't hesitate in his dismissal, arms even folding along with it (if it can be seen in the video transmission). ]

I'm not gonna be around enough to do it, so I'm a lousy choice. Pick Inigo, or let someone else volunteer! You know, that thing volunteering's supposed to be?

I know I haven't been present on our missions lately because I've been called to the smaller teams, but I'll help however I can.

Would you like me to bring some breads to the meeting? As I understand it, it's a good idea for our adults to have access to filling snacks while they're drinking.

Hey, congrats on the leadership-noms, you two totally deserved it. Can't wait to crash the party!

Oh, hey, you're a team leader? That's cool! I've kinda been doing my own thing on missions, but if you need me to work on teamwork, I'm your girl!

That said, a party, huh? You know I'll be there! Just make sure there's a lot of food! We lemurs are a hungry sort, yannow!

Uhm, I'd like to come, but... aren't these kinds of parties usually for adults? "Mixers", I mean. I'm only a teenager...
strawberryprotector: (happy)

[personal profile] strawberryprotector 2020-08-08 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd say takoyaki, but I know we haven't got any octopus in the kitchen, let alone the right kind of pan for it. But it is damn good stuff. Maybe the next time I have enough points to shop I'll get a takoyaki griddle.
laurefindil: (Very glow)

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-08-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Octopus? And a griddle? You have my interest. What kind of dish is this?
laurefindil: (Very glow)

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-08-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Are there any particular snacks you would like to see there?
laurefindil: (Very glow)

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-08-09 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Glorfindel laughs at the obvious friendship between the two of them.]

Thank you, Tidus. I had nominated Roland for Team Lead and look where it got me. But I don't think the Train needs a Captain, just yet. Perhaps a Cruise Director though? Someone to help plan out fun activities?

[Is it Voluntelling someone if they're already doing it?]
laurefindil: (Very glow)

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-08-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
It is a party where you do not have designated seating, but instead mingle and mix, meeting new people and getting to know old friends better.

There will be snacks and beverages, and all of Purple Team is encouraged to come. Your ideas are as welcome as your presence, but if you prefer to speak to any of the Team Leads in private, that is fine as well.
