Video - Imagination 15

[adregem]

(Gen - in Purple. | Roland - in Dark Blue.)

[ The ICP flickers to life and in video, two individuals stand side by side. One is stern and still, with heavy eyes and crossed arms. The other with duo-colored hair is smiling, but their gaze is sharp and attentive. The announcement seems to be coming from the Dining car. ]

Good morning, everyone! After a rather … difficult … last mission, it seems that everyone’s scrambling for ideas, and answers. It’s … certainly been in my mind. Some have even called for a change in leadership, which is understandable, but I think might’ve ruffled a few feathers.

I really think that after everything we’ve been through, a fight about who’s running what is the last thing we need.

[ Roland transitions smoothly, with a nod in agreement. ]



Leadership’s always been about action, and in that sense, no one necessarily needs a title to be a leader in their own right. We’re all here to make train life a better place in our own way...so let’s do it. Let’s talk. No more barriers, no more walls. Just everyone who’s ever been interested to say anything about the train, coming together.

How’s the 18th of Imagination, sound? We can do it in the Music Room’s upper floor, so we maximize space.

[ Gen nodded, and added sheepishly: ]

Yes, so - Roland put things a lot better than I could, but he’s been here for a lot longer. But, pretty much, what he said!

Please - everyone, no matter what team, how involved you were in the mission - whether you saw things fall apart for yourself - please come. We’d want to speak to the Team Leads and the Council members, of course, but.

Now isn’t the time for us to bicker over power. We need to work together to find a better way to work - or more people are going to end up getting hurt.

[ Roland’s gaze grows more stern. Like he’s remembering something as he talks. Could just be the catch of the light. ]

There’s a lot we need to discuss either way. As one. Every voice heard, every talent taken into consideration so they’re exactly where they need to be.

[ Shrugging, Gen flourished a little with his hands, and said - ]

Ah! And there’ll be snacks! So even if you’re worried you might not have a great idea … if you’re feeling shy … you can at least come for the food, my friends.

Come for the candy! Stay for the attempts to keep us all from exploding. It’s a win-win!

[ And with that said, the two make their individual salutations - Roland nodding again and Gen waving nicely - before the announcement ends. ]



(OOC: Expect threeways/fourways/whatever-have-you-ways wherever appropriate! The said Open Log will be posted on the 5th of December. This is not a council meeting, but a player-driven initiative :) Come one, come all! Please feel free to throw in stuff OOCly here. )

Thank you. Both of you.

[As tired as she is, Eva means. Means it from the bottom of her heart.]

I'll be there and I'm willing to lend Lele out to record this for later reference. Or failing that, Roro, though that one has drawbacks.

[And now she has a reason to get Lele fixed, or at least looking not as crushed.]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita sounds, if anything, relieved - both to hear from Roland and at the potential to have a broader discussion.]

Count me in, too, you two. Let me know if you need another pair of hands to help set things up, too.

What about-- ah-- [ oh fuck this is public abort ]

[Voice]

[barenakedspirit]

Oh yeah! Thanks for proposing this! I’ll be there and remind others to be there. That’s a great idea.

Adding in an offer of help for set up. Anything you guys need done, I can help.

You truly want everyone involved...? Is that... wise?

[She had only gave a cursory listen to the various conversation of that other video, and is now increasingly aware there are a variety of very strong opinions...]

[blue_ice]

...Now that we have a clearer idea of our mission, and the dangers...you're right, we need to better prepare.

[ At least Kaiba seems to have fully recovered from his injuries. ]

I'll be there.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Count me in. And I'll see if I can convince Xion to come too.

[She almost certainly wouldn't have anything to say, but her being there to hear it would save him repeating everything later.]

And if you need somebody to help out with snack supplies, give me a call.

[blitzcheer]

Ohhh, candy? Guess I'll have to come.

[ Eheheh! ]

Thanks, guys.

[light_of_willpower]

Huh, I'd planned to make my own post about this, but a meeting will save me trouble. After the last mission, we should all think seriously about getting armor. I have some with me already, that's durable AND flexible.

[laurefindil]

I would be happy to help with snacks. [Over his shoulder, as he is in the kitchen, you will see the tables covered with his latest baking spree.]

This is an excellent idea, and I will definitely be there.

[so_dark_a_road]

Thanks, Roland and Gen, for organizing this thing. I agree with you about the nature of leadership. A non-hierarchical approach to problem-solving would suit me just fine. I'll be there! And I'll help Gorfindel lug the trays of snacks into the Music Carriage.
