[ The ICP blinks to life from the newly revamped Library, and there is Roland standing about in his usual serious expression, only this time he's dressed with a new robe over his purple shirt. If his eyes look a little dull, or that frown refuses to turn upside down, it might just be your imagination. ]
Hey there. For the benefit of newcomers, or anyone I've yet to formally introduce myself to, my name is Roland. I’ll try not to take up too much of your time, here. But if you can lend me your ears, especially appealing to fellow Team Leads from other colors, I’d like to share a couple of important updates regarding the Voidtrecker’s mission supplies. This idea to allocate and consolidate resources came to our attention thanks to the initial efforts of Lightning from the Red Team, and Tidus from Purple. Please stay tuned here if this interests you. If not, then I guess we'll see each other around the train.
[ Roland nods, gives a breath, then smoothly continues. A practiced task for a tired mind. But nevertheless, professional. ]
Missions upon disembarking the Voidtrecker are filled with unexpected circumstances. Unfortunately, the train only gives us a small window to prepare before we begin work on other worlds, and we’re supplied with only the tools needed to get the job done. If you get hurt, or if you grow hungry, the train...won’t really provide. That’s going to be up to us.
[ He clenches a fist in determination. ] But thanks to the combined efforts of the passengers, we’ve now accumulated and bought a total of 453 healing and support items of varying types. We even have MRE’s – freeze-dried rations that can be rehydrated on the field for emergencies. We also have in stock a variety of supplies gathered from different worlds, like the seafood fished from Jema’grethy. That’s not all. [ Roland’s tone grows inspired. ]
Several of us have the ability to create supplies, or duplicate singles into multiples so points aren’t spent unnecessarily. Uta from Purple, I’ve heard, can make food worth ten pounds. Piccolo from Blue was responsible for duplicating lunch boxes and water canisters to two-hundred versions of each. After platform day, I’m sure we now have more people with similar skills and talents.
Team Leads across Red, Blue, and Orange. [ He nods as if addressing them individually, even though the ICP is broadcasted to all. ] These are resources which we would like to share when the time comes for our next mission. Purple already has volunteers to help ferry supplies and medicine, but this is a conversation that you may wish to hold with your own group of ‘treckers. Just one or two per team to help carry and account for resources per mission. It’s a big responsibility, but whoever volunteers, or is assigned to it, has nothing to worry about – they’ll never be alone. They have our support. All of us.
[ He reveals an item sitting nicely on his open palm. ] Supplies can be carried hassle-free in this nifty piece of equipment called an Arms Band. We have five in stock right now. With this, no one has to worry about bulky luggage; it keeps up to three melee weapons, one ranged weapon with unlimited ammunition of any kind, and an infinite amount of items. So long as you know what you’ve put inside, then you can summon it in and out easily. Please let me know if you’d like a demonstration. Additionally, they can be bought at the shop for forty-five points, but it would help us if you could distinguish buying the Arms Band for your personal use, versus buying one for mission usage only. If it’s the latter, we will need to audit it, what supplies are placed inside it, and we will need to ask for you to return it, post-mission. [ He hopes he doesn’t have to be explicit about why...If their names turn gold, then they’ll take the resources with them. ]
[ When this guy's on a roll, man is he on a roll. But! He's wrapping up. ]
This is just the beginning. Please, we encourage people who would like to volunteer to do so without hesitation. We still need people to make lists, keep necessities in check, and to help cook even, especially for long mission days. Even ideas on additional storage options will help, since the Arms Band doesn’t self-organize. Good luck to you if you thought putting a hundred bottles of different potions inside your Arms Band was a good idea. [ He might have cracked a smile here…But no. Barely. He is impassioned though, which is typical for a guy like him. ]
That’s mostly it. Thank you for listening. To those who volunteered already, be it their service on missions as quartermasters or supply keepers, or as passengers who decided to spend their points for shared resources. You all know who you are. We’re grateful for your support, because...
[ Roland only breaks eye contact briefly before he looks back at the monitor. There's something there which was absent, when he started recording. ]
...as someone wisely advised me, you gotta work with the team. That's the way to victory.
[ And with that, Roland flashes the only genuine smile he's made during his explanation. He salutes casually once to the ICP before he signs off. ]
I’m looking forward to our continued teamwork, everyone. Over and out.

I think Roro -my phone- might have a few images of it? though I'd have to check...
I've also been growing several berries from my world in the greenhouse, which can be used to treat all pokemon on the train and shift those potions back to people.

That sounds incredibly useful if it functions to store by type. How does it work, and what are its limitations? We could combine different storage units into the hammerspace, or just have the one depending on the function of the volunteer. [ He writes as he speaks though his eyes dart up from time to time, as if he's actually speaking to her in person versus against a screen. ]
Ah, Pokemon? [ Roland nods at the sound of that. ] I've heard that word thrown around more than once. I'm sorry to sound ignorant, but what or who is a pokemon? [ A slight tilt of his head. ]
Re: video
[Um. There's a blink and then the biggest 'i don't know shrug Eva's ever done.] I cannot tell you how it works, only that it does. It's- if it breaks, I take it to a store to get it fixed. It's that common in my world that I'd probably just replace it if broke, too.
But pokemon I can tell you about, the general gist is their monsters from my world, though I come from a slightly different version than Jounouchi-san does, so not everything is the same across our worlds. Anyway, you've seen the pink puffball, red bird, and uh. neon green duck around? Those are my pokemon.
video
[ But more than this, he finds himself more interested in Pokemon since it's a word that's been thrown around the Voidtrecker since he first got wind of creatures from other worlds. Roland listens closely, nodding when he can. ]
I have, from time to time. But I never really thought to approach them, not sure what they were. Now that I know they're pokemon though...[ He ponders on it. ] They can be ordred on the shop just like any other pet?
