Mission Vision -- very early in the morning of Imagination Day 6 [Video]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin falls out of his bunk, as usual when waking from a mission vision. CRASH! He hits the floor, his blankets entangled with his legs, his right shoulder striking the floor with a thud. Luckily Elves don't break bones easily, but his shoulder is going to hurt. He scrambles to the ICP. ]

Wouldn't you know it, I've just had another prophetic dream. [ He shakes his head and drags his hand through his disordered black hair. ]

Didn't like the looks of this one, either.

I was in a jungle, and it was pleasant enough. Sun shining down through the branches, forest sounds, nice. But suddenly the light intensified, and something seemed wrong with it. I ran to the next clearing and gazed up at the sky, and what I saw was ominous. The sky had turned a glaring dark red and was getting darker by the moment. And then everything grew still, as though the world had stopped. I did not have time to react to that, or wonder what it meant. Abruptly the ground shook under my feet, and the dust rose, and there was fire everywhere, and I heard screams, screams, and more screams. And then I woke up.

Damn if this doesn't seem to me like another candidate for an aborted mission! What the hell happens to the mission world? Is it self-destructing, or is it attacked by unknown forces? Or is this some simple natural disaster?

[ Still shaking his head. He grabs for his jacket and pulls it on. ]

Did anybody else have this dream? Or any variation of this dream?

You're right, Team Orange really didn't have a complete discussion.

And I don't suppose Roland will be keeping track of everything. I think we'll need to do that for ourselves.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods, lips pressed in a thin line.]

Something we'll want settled before we leave, no doubt. I'm glad to help, but it'd be better if everyone knows what the problem is, rather than any of us assuming the position and surprising people later.

[Make it an actual process, instead of keeping up with haphazard-ness.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Okay, have you got any suggestions as to who ought to be the Orange Quartermaster? Even if we don't get that settled before we leave, we could still come up with a list of all the supplies we think Orange will need on this mission, and make sure we have them all.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Gen and Senku.

[They're the first names to come to mind, anyway.]

Though beyond that - I think Clef and Hikaru would like the work, and I know Ken - Ken Ichijouji, have you met him?

[And/or Wormmon.]

... And I'd be lying if I didn't think my friend S'reee was up to it, either, though whether she wants to do it is another matter.

But those are who I'd ask.

[so_dark_a_road]

Okay, so the list of candidates for Orange Quartermaster would be Gen, Senku, Clef, Hiikaru, and Ken. Yes, I've met Ken. [ And Wormmon, let's not forget him! ] And S'ree. So what if we came up with a list of things the Quartermaster would be responsible for?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods.]

Apart from keeping track of how much we portion out for missions?

[That was the first task to come to mind.]

Or how much we've got in general, really; keeping up with- Mami Tomoe set up a list where people could request amenities, right? Yeah, keeping up with that, and seeing who's able and willing to help fulfill those requests.

[There's definitely more, but Nita thinks that's a good place to start.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Okay, that sounds good so far. If we don't get to work on this before the coming mission, how about if we address it afterwards?

Oh, I did see Mami Tomoe's first posting of that requests list, but has she posted lately? I should be checking it myself, since I tend to acquire a lot of points.

Think this one's approaching wrap?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Like how Purple Team handled their Mixer?]

'As soon as logistically possible' seems like the best plan to me.

[And, after another pause, Nita shakes her head.]

Not that I recall. Though if you see anything that needs to be restocked that isn't part of what the train gets, it can probably be added there as well.

Yes! I think we should wrap this one.

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Sure, why not? ]

Sounds good to me! We'll get to it.

Is anybody maintaining a hard copy of Mami's list? It seems like that would be a good idea, and then whatever has been purchased can be crossed off, and the list re-posted periodically. Also, I'll keep an eye out for things that need to be restocked and for network requests for things people need but can't afford. Yes, those should be added to the list.

o7 Fade out, begin!

[unfavorableinstigation]

I don't know about copies, but the original itself is on paper so it won't take much time. Beyond that...

[Nita talks on a little more, but the mission's vision is more pressing at the moment. They've got both train work to do, and a world to protect!]

Fade out, completed! XD

[so_dark_a_road]

Oh good, somebody does have a hard copy! [ He nods, happily. ] We can easily manage, then.

[ They cover a little more ground, as regards the mission, and then go off to take care of their various concerns. ]
