Hey - 'sup everyone. What do you all think if we set up a mini-kitchen in the luggage room? Nothing too fancy - just so we can make sandwiches and get more drinks down this side of the train instead of going all the way to the big kitchen?

[ He hasn't been in his room a lot and feelin' the curse of being too low-energy to go to the kitchen, no siree. ]

I'm thinking...we'd need a counter, plug sockets - I think there's some in there? So...just get an adaptor? -bread, a toaster, cupboards. Some of the cutlery. Just something in the corner soon as you go in. And some snacks.

I don't mind spending points for it. But there anyone who thinks they can make the.,.cupboards? What else would be good?

As early riser and smoker I would not mind starting a pot of coffee in the area. [She smokes under a vent after all.]

[blitzcheer]

Sure! I know someone got a drinks machine, but I can't remember which one it was. But we'll need to cover all the hot drinks!

[unholyandbroken]

Coffee and tea are easy enough, brew and set out.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah, I just don't remember if what we got's one of those with all the settings. It's somewhere around here.

[ And he's too lazy to look. ]

[utulien_aure]

I could make one, if needed. As could my cousin or aunt.

[Nerdanel... might not be up to it at the moment, though. But Curufin might appreciate a project to take his mind off things.]

[blitzcheer]

[ Well! ]

Great! We just need the materials right? I might know someone I can ask.

Who's the family?

[utulien_aure]

I have some wood set aside from other projects, but probably no more than for a few shelves. If you can obtain more, I would be glad to work with it.

Curufin is my cousin, Nerdanel my aunt. Fingon Fingolfinion, at your service.

Tidus, hi.

[Trunks is a little awkward, yes.]

So, this is a good idea and I think I can help. Back in my world, we have something called Capsules.

[Trunks pulls out his capsule case and pulls out the one labeled 2031.]

They store things in them, although I couldn't tell you the science behind it. I also know they should NOT be stored within the ARMS band, because I don't think they'd interact well with whatever space-time manipulation the bands use either for holding things.

[Holding up the capsule though, so Tidus can see how it just fits in his hand easily.]

This one though, holds a mini-fridge. I can demonstrate sometime for you, but this might be a way for you guys to have more than just basic sandwiches, and save space. I know coffee-makers and rice-cookers are available, and the mini-fridge is absolutely available. They'd just take points from the store.

[blitzcheer]

[ Well, that was something he wasn't expecting. ]

Wow- those sound like they'd be great for the missions. [ Huh! ] Maybe... if we wanted anything like a rice cooker or whatever down there, those'd work for keeping them outta the way.

But it'd be easier to keep some of the stuff out, like a coffee maker. Make it easier to get to.

[light_of_willpower]

[Trunks chuckles.]

I've actually already discussed with Roland how we can get small storage crates and similar for missions. I don't know what the store would let us get though--capsules can even contain houses or vehicles, back home. I do know it allows us to buy the mini-fridge, I got one for Cassie.

[OOC: Already talked with mods and standard rules apply for capsules. Nothing bigger than a large suitcase.]

[myblueskies]

I can help mister Tidus! I got lots of points and I can help make cupboards!

[Does Romeo know how to make cupboards? Not at all. Will he try very hard regardless? Yes.]

[blitzcheer]

Romeo! You know how to make cupboards?

[ Who even KNOWS maybe he does! ]

[myblueskies]

Maybe! I never tried before! But I was good at fixing roofs!

[And he hadn't ever done that before either!]

[sendiintheclown]

I can donate some bamboo to the cause, though I only have knives for cutting it at the moment. It's not too hard to make a table, and I'm sure it could be made as a cabinet table.

[blitzcheer]

Y'sure? That stuff, into a table?

[ He's got limited experience with bamboo and is just imagining it from what he's seen... they can make a table cabinet with that? ]

[sendiintheclown]

Oh yeah. It's a lot tougher than it looks, and if I can thin it down to strips small enough to weave, I can make sure there's a nice flat top, too. You may want to talk to Glorfindel about baskets, though.

[adregem]

[ He makes a soft sound of approval, like he was just thinking about it for a second but then it starts to make sense. Speaking as someone from Sleeper 2... ]

That's not at all a bad idea, Tidus. And I'm sure someone on this train's got the talent to make the cupboards. [ What does magic even do, what are its limits, Roland doesn't know. Anyway. ] Say, how many Sleeper cars are you going to try and cover with the mini-kitchen by Luggage? This train's grown so expansive that you might be able to service Sleeper cars 1 through 4.

[blitzcheer]

Uhhhh... [ oh man, he's gotta think now? ]

How ever many people want? I didn't have any big ideas. But if a lot of people want it and it gets used, we can keep adding to it. How well it's gonna work depends on people making sure to add food down there too.

[ That's about as far as his thoughts go... ]

[adregem]

Heh. Right.

[ He pauses for a quick second, almost like he went off the ICP. But the delay is brief, not enough to warrant worry or awkwardness. ]

I only brought it up because we're going to borrow utensils and tools from the main kitchen, right? That just means approximating how many people the mini-kitchen can serve so we know how many spoons, forks, knives, plates, and cups to borrow from the other end of the train. That's about seventy-eight people now, not accounting for those who may not even need to eat.

[ You better believe he's helping you make this come true by planning and counting. That's what he checked on the roster, after all, newly minted and updated! ]

[fun_thementalist]

An electric kettle in the mini-kitchen would be nice! Then you could make a lot of instant food that keeps forever - instant noodles, instant soup, tea ...

[blitzcheer]

That's what I'm thinking! We can take one outta the kitchen, so all we need to buy then is a mini-fridge or two. Then some jars to stick in the teas and coffees? And sugar...

Would it be easier to buy instant food? Can you make that on a train?

[ He has. No clue. ]

in which we learn that Gen has never seen Gourmet Makes

[fun_thementalist]

Actually!

[ Wait. ]

[ Thinks about it. ]

[ .... ???!?? ]

I have absolutely no idea! There's likely some sort of science involved to turn complex flavors into little powders, I suppose. I wonder if anyone's tried to do that before?

[nutkrusher]

I'll throw my voice in for the "this being a good idea" camp. If the British can make room for a kettle inside a battle tank, there's no reason we can't set one up in the corner of a car.

[blitzcheer]

[ Wha... ] The British never heard of thermal flasks before?

[nutkrusher]

"I mean, I'm pretty sure they have those, too," Cassie says. "They just want their tankers to be able to make tea."
