Okay, so, favour. Last time before the storm we got one of those info briefs, it was about the voidsickness, right? And it said it gave it to us because a bunch of us asked.

Can people take a minute to ask on the feedback option for info telling us why we get called to the conductor, and why those people end up getting to leave. See if it works? It put the stupid clocks up for polling, so...

[ There's a muttering here before an exhale. ]

That's it. If anyone wants something else asked about a bunch, share it I guess.

Bamboo could work if we don’t put too much weight on it. Curtains can’t be that heavy. [He had done that for his first apartment. Until he got what he needed.]

With Webs help it should be fine! And we can always get better rods later.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah! There's crafty guys I was talking to before about putting a small kitchen together in the luggage car. I'll ask 'em about it. And the guy who grows the bamboo here.

There anything else you think we need? I've got some points. Don't mind spending them on something for the train if you've got ideas.

[barenakedspirit]

[Galo spares a moment to really think about that. A small kitchen in the luggage car. Curtains. He’s saving for more fire safety and safety measures for the train.] ...maybe blinds or storm shutters for the all glass domes?

Probably best to ask the guy growing stuff what is best. Other than that I think that’s the immediate stuff.

[blitzcheer]

[ Storm shutters? That's definitely a thought - at least, doing something about the glass domes in general. ]

Hm - I'll ask the guy helping with the shelving what we can do for the domes! If we can get them set up. [ Mumbling some- ] Might need to buy a ladder...

[ If they don't already have a way up to the ceilings. ]

[barenakedspirit]

So that’s taken care of in the future too! [That’s a good list of things taken care of!] What do they plan to set up the other kitchen in the luggage car with?

Just some basics and a mini fridge?

[blitzcheer]

Either shelving with sides to 'em so everything don't fall out when we stop and go or cabinets. A side, the fridge; a kettle and toaster and everything else from the kitchens and stores. We can use some of the suitcases or boxes in there to hold some stuff if we need to.

But if we have too many plugs, I might need to buy some extensions. [ Pfft. ] Too bad we can't stop at a store and just buy some.

[barenakedspirit]

It would be a lot easier. Even at the station we could just move extensions from one room to another. [Hm.] I can advise on how to set up to keep fire safety in mind and to super use the space you go for!

My apartment is pretty cramped too. I got a lot of experience in that. Be good to have a hot plate too. Keep coffee or something warm.

[blitzcheer]

Sure, you can make sure everything's safe! You'd know better than me.

[ What does a guy from a futuristic city really know about having too many plugs in one socket?? ]

A hot plate for coffee, huh? The kettles in Zanarkand do that better than the ones here... I wonder if there's any in the kitchen I don't know about? [ Might be worth checking out. ]

Long as we have good lids and people remember to use them and take down whatever they dirty to the real kitchen, it shouldn't be too bad.

Oh yeah. [ A click of snapping fingers can be heard. ] Waste basket. For sure. Teabags and wrappers.

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah! And maybe hand towels and napkins? In case of a mess or so.

[He has a few ideas for later. But this is good for right now.]

Later once we got this sorted out we can slowly add to it. Don’t think a little dry erase board would be too bad either! Just stuff like remember to take dirty stuff to the kitchen or restock x thing when it gets low.

Oh! [This time it’s Galo snapping his fingers.] Maybe a notepad for requests or suggestions?

[blitzcheer]

I can stick the notebook the train gave me in there. I don't really use it anyway. [ He's just not much of a notes-taking guy, despite some efforts (that lasted like ten minutes before he got bored). ]

I'll jot in it they should put any requests on the one Mami's got going in the standard coach, so they're not all over the place.

[ Hm! ] Hopefully they're not just telling other people to spend their points when they could be doing it themselves.

[ This potentially future suggestion-giver! ]

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah! I’ll add to it with mine over time. When we need shit.

So that’s as settled as it can be for now. [He is not the note taking sort but he knows a decent set up when he hears it.]

Unless you can think of anything else. I got nothing over here.

[blitzcheer]

Nah. Anything else we can add over time. A work in progress. [ Aha! ]

I'm not that desperate to dry the points account. Maybe I'll think of something before the next train stop.

[barenakedspirit]

I hear you. Still sitting on my points for a bit. But you need extra, I’ll help!

[He is up for that.]

But I couldn’t tell you how they accumulate. Same as you and Roland, I just don’t know.

[blitzcheer]

I think Roland's gonna tear all his hair out tryin' to figure it out before we get an answer. [ Pfft. ] I wouldn't bring them up to him.

I mean, I bet he scribbles about it in his notebook, but you know. He's not so young under that face of his.

[barenakedspirit]

Oh, he's one of those types! I get it. [He laughs,]

Captain's second in command is like that. Always has to know all the rules and shit, poor guy. Still be nice to know it! Ah, well. We get points and that's just how it goes.

Anyway! We got a basic layout right now and bunch of people hitting the feedback--

AH! [There's a snap of his fingers.] Last thing! What about one of those chalkboard things for like if someone makes extra food for people? Maybe. Could be useful and only waste involved is chalk dust.

[blitzcheer]

[ Hm-? ]

Oh yeah! Hey, I got a few of those last mission. We can spare one - don't know how popular they are anyway. [ Might as well, right? ]

We'll need a good place to put it. We don't want that getting knocked over. Looks like it'll shatter into a thousand pieces if we do.

[barenakedspirit]

Yeah one good knock and that's all over. [Hm, where to put it though?]

Let's see...out of the way of foot traffic is a must. But we don't want it where people have to get their shit from either. [Wait.] Hey, wait a minute. I've never been called down to get a package from here. Is it Luggage where they get it from? Where do those packages usually show up?

So we don't mess up and put it there either.
