Hey guys! [ As soon as the video feed cuts in, so does Tidus's voice, a smile and a hand raised to the screen. He's by one of the tables, breaking the 'be quiet' rule of all library spaces for a good reason - the reason which is spread out on a table, showing a selection of bottles, equipment, and even plants - one of which glows a soft gold. ]

Welcome to the newbies! I wanted to talk some about the healing we've got for people to take when they need it - plus, there's some making I was thinking some of you might be interested in - these!

[ He's grabbing a small pouch, removing the contents, and bringing a view of small green sweets sitting on his palm. ]

They're candies made from the plants we've got here. [ He nods back, and still in view is the golden plant, as well as less glowy variant. ] We've got a bunch growing, and they can be made into salves too - they're from Roland's world, and he got a book that tells you how to make them! But-

[ But- Tidus chuckles. ]

Well I've never made them before, and Roland hasn't either! Sooo... I was figuring we've got enough people here who're good at making with herbs and in the kitchen - how about we figure it out? Give people more options for healing. Then we don't have to pay for 'em. [ Heheh! ]

There's plenty of the plants in the greenhouse if you wanna try on your own - thanks, Persephone! - and the book on them's in the library. I'm gonna put some of these [ he holds the sweets back up, while also putting them back in the bag ] into the supply locker, so you can check them out. Try making them whenever you want!

[ He can't figure out the tie right now, or it's just a little too distracting. But Tidus is quiet, before he looks up from the pouch to the screen, and then to the side. His tone shifts. ]

And... if you ever worry about taking supplies when other people need them, don't, okay? Carry them with you. If you need to know how they work or just wanna ask about them, you can. And you can ask people to buy what works where you're from too. A bunch of the potions we have - they saved me more times than I can count back home. And I know Trunks swears by senzu beans.

So - yeah. [ He pulls a smile, small as it's turned. ] Drop by the library if you want! I've got an alphabet to count 'til it sticks.

[ Heh. ]

[ On the day of platform, after all is said and done and passengers both new and old have filed into the Voidtrecker Express, a certain man restored to his usual youthful face is seen on screen, from the comfort of the Library car. Clad in clothes that are distinctly different from the train's usual uniform, eagle-eyed passengers may find a particular floral lapel pin attached to the turnover collar of his top as the only indicator of where he's been grouped. ]

To my fellow Voidtrecker passengers, a very fine Kazoo day to you all.

[ These month names will never stop sounding ridiculous to him, but with a face so serious, it sort of works in commanding attention anyway. ]

I've begun this broadcast with two express purposes: first, I would like to ask for your time as we launch an official census of the current Purple team roster. [ He crosses his arms over his chest. Though he is speaking in general, it seems he's adept at talking to cameras such that he could be addressing you in particular. ] Just now counting the passenger list from the ICP, we are once again seeing an incredible number of talented individuals who all have something unique to offer, not just for this team, but for everyone onboard.

[ His fist curls in a determined gesture. ] To this end, interested members can now fill out a quick survey such that we can determine who is good at, or comfortable doing, particular tasks on and off missions. Purple is populated by plenty of diverse folks, the most of the train's teams, and we should be putting everyone where they are most needed. It could be as simple as offering your favorite hobby as a service, or something more unexpected like your secret ability to bench-press three cows while jumping as high as the moon. Heh. [ Ah, so he has a sense of humor. However corny or dry. Back to business. ]

You may find these surveys in stacks by the Library car, with a tray for our collection later on. [ Said stack of paper is in his hands already to show, and it's definitely a tall one. ] Rest assured that you are protected by the team leads if you would like to keep certain things private, or known only to a select few. Share only what you deem important. Alternatively, you can find me anytime and hand it in yourself so we can talk face-to-face.

[ He drops the stack gently and faces the camera one more time. His smile widens by a fraction. ] As for the second purpose...[ His hand rests against his chest and he briefly closes his eyes. ] I would like to formally introduce myself. My name is Roland Crane, and Purple or not, I am happily at everyone's service.

[ Roland nods determined before he ends his announcement. ]

( ooc: ) open to [ action ] tags if characters happen to be in the library. check out the ooc community for the survey in question!

[ The video flickers on, and it's Gen, smiling deviously, but looking over his shoulder now and again. ]

[ Making certain that someone is still distracted. ]

Good afternoon, fellow VoidTrain passengers! Isn't it a lovely day?

I don't have long, Senku-chan should be pretty distracted - but all of you who know him, he could have a sudden idea and want to share it at any moment.

This is for everyone who does know Senku!

The fourth of next month, best I can guess, is a special day.

[ He holds up a finger and says; ]

You see, my dears, Senku-chan has this habit of keeping a running count of each day in his head. Probably because our time, also, had no clocks! No strange train time going on there, just hadn't been re-invented yet, if you've heard the story from Senku you know why. I digress.

Doing the math, that should make the 4th of next month Senku's birthday!

And I would like to throw a party. I'm going to order a cake - I've gotten a few presents at that faire ...

Who's in? With presents! Decorations! Food!

... There's at least cake in it for you, if you'd like to join? But I believe Senku-chan has helped a lot of us here, and after such a time after being kidnapped ... well, he deserves to have a little party, wouldn't you say?

10billionpercent

[Senku waves slightly.]

I'm Senku, if you don't know me. [Everyone can't possibly know him, at least, but they've probably seen him around he certainly has a distinct hairstyle, that and he's always working on a project.]

Had a bit of a slow start from the last mission, but I wanted to tell people about the supplies we picked up during the last mission, so you know the food that's available to you.

We picked up fifty-five konjac roots from the devil's tongue plants. I used about ten to make some Shirataki noodles, which are a vegan substitute. The technique can be used in a variety of ways, to substitute for other things, which I'm happy to help with if people have requests. There are about forty roots left over, just stored in the pantry. I'm not a vegan so I don't really know what people might like specifically, but it's fairly easy to do.

Aside from that, we picked up forty passionflora, which included an average of three fruit per plant. To that end, I've put forty of the fruits in the fridge, and I'll replenish them when they're out. The rest are being stored in the arms band so they don't spoil. If I don't notice, don't hesitate to tell me, or if you want them for a project or something.

We also picked up seventy-five cocoa pods full of cocoa beans. I've got them all out of the pods right now, but that means in the next two weeks I'll be making cocoa powder and chocolate, that will end up in the pantry when it's ready. We tried to gather a lot of that specifically, but chocolate takes a long time to process, so it won't be ready until then.

I had help gathering these things from Gen, Inigo, Tidus and Roland on the last mission. If anyone is interested in learning how to make chocolate, or interested in gathering things the next mission we go on, don't hesitate to ask me, I intend on continuing to do this for the forseeable future. [It's his hobby okay.]

Does anyone have any questions about any of that? [He'll stay by the ICP, but he's already picking up what looks like an animal pelt and a bone needle and stitching. He doesn't like to sit idle.]

voidtreckermods

You have many questions.

Each passenger may ask three.

(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. ]

( Cut for length. )

(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. )

Hey, so, mission time soon. [ Tidus wears a flippant smile at that. Fun, huh? ]

Just wanted everyone to know if you need something to put your food in or drink bottle, there's spare lunchboxes and bottles going in the supplies me, Lightning, and Roland keep track over. We also got some food ready: a lot of it's bear-- real bear, not that other stuff we got last month-- but there's other meat and non-meat too. Plus, if you wanna come and help make more with some of the food we got this month, we can work on that. Make sure everyone's covered. Doesn't matter what team you are!

Speaking of, if any of the teams need any for their groups or food...masters or whatever, you take some too, alright? [ He grins and nods. ] Oh yeah- and you can talk to one of us if you need a weapon, like a sword or dagger, or just a pole to whack with. We have a couple to borrow out, but we'll want them back at the end.

Well, we'll want everything back, but you know. We don't have many, so it's best to see what the missions are first.

[ They don't have enough to lend out willy nilly. ]

Guess this is a good time to say too, [ since he's here already!, ] if you think you can make anything for supplies, like weapons or- whatever magic you have, let us know! Anyone who can help with food, healing, weapons or protection... it's all useful.

And if anyone's thinking about going hunting or collecting materials once we find out more, we have some Arms Bands that'll help for packing away. [ He raises a wrist, showing the one he's wearing now. ] We can show people how to use 'em. Then you won't be carrying anything on your back!

[ He pauses, thinking. Well.. ] That's about it... - oh!

[ His head was about to duck, but then he raises it again, looking into the camera! ]

If you wanna hop around with magic and help out on different teams when they need the extra hands, ask Spider 'bout joining Black Squad! She's cool, and she can send people wherever they're needed! And the more people helping, the easier it is she can move people around!

Okay -- see ya!

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.

[Eight switches on her screen, looking a little dour.]

Hello. I'm in need of a significant amount of paper and bottles. I have a project in mind that requires both.

I saw that there is a printer available, would it be possible for me to use some of it?

I would make the purchase myself, but I used it all for clothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

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?

Hey hey, party people! For all you new cats and kittens, the name's Della Duck! And... someday I will think of a less embarrassing way to introduce myself. Not today.

Anyway! I know time's on a big pause button or whatever back home, but if it wasn't, you know what my world would be celebrating later this month? Only the best holiday ever made - Halloween! Dressing up in costumes, free candy, and scaring the pants off everyone! If you wear pants, anyway.

I know world-hopping and all those kinda shenanigans make celebrating holidays harder, but... it's Halloween. We gotta at least try. It'll be on the last day of the month, so, plenty of time to prepare if you wanna chip in! We need to use one of the big carriage, gotta make a lot of sweets, and go to town on stitching up costumes.

Now, for those of you who have no idea what Halloween is... you've got my sympathies, I'm so sorry. But here are some highlights!

One - Haunted Houses. Again, can't go the extra mile 'cause... train. BUT I'm sure we can come pretty close! Things popping out at you, spooky noises, fear pumping through your veins!

Two - Trick or Treating. Usually this is for the little kids. They go from house to house, knock and say "Trick or Treat!" and then get candy. Still no houses, but I say who needs 'em! If a kid says it on that special day, we should have plenty of candy to go around for the tykes... or for the tykes at heart.

Three - COSTUMES! Be someone or something you're not! The sky's the limit! This year I had planned to go on "matching opposites" costumes with my twin brother, like we did when we were younger - I'd be a devil, he'd be an angel - but since he's not around, what will I be? That's a surprise. Cause I haven't thought of it yet.

If you've got any questions, or suggestions, lemme know! Let's make this the best Halloween the train's ever had!

[ Gen is lounging in the library, looking a little wistful, putting some book down before the camera can see the title ]

So! I have a hypothetical question, everyone! If anyone could indulge me a little.

Let's play a game.

[ He leaned into the camera's frame with a bright smile ]

Pick three fellow passengers on this train - and tell me, who would you Hug, who would you Marry, and who would you Yeet into the void, if given the ability?

[ Claps his hands together ]

Please, it's all in good fun, of course! Share with me your thoughts!

[ 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. ]

( A comprehensive quarterly review! Happy reading! )

Ichigo Kurosaki of purple team here. I would like to establish a blood bank for the train with a personalized supply for each passenger. In order to store the blood refrigerators, it would mean sacrificing one of the four recovery rooms. Being that this is for the good of the train, would there be any objections from you all?

[Ran's not sure she's comfortable with being seen for this one, as it's a subject that's touching a little deeply for her, so for the moment she just sticks to voice.]

[She pulls in a soft breath.]

I . . . need some help.

I know a lot of you have met Conan-kun. He's been here for a while. There's another girl here from my world now too -- Ai-chan. If you haven't met them yet, I hope you get to soon.

What I need help with . . . They're both seven. They're both smart -- really smart -- for their age, but. They're both seven. And not fighters. The train doesn't seem to discriminate about who it takes, and yet the missions that it sends us on are dangerous.

[A pause, wrestling with her words.]

I need them both to be safe. This past time Sera-chan and I were able to be with them. But what happens if we're not able to do that? How does their safety get guaranteed?

I need a better guarantee. Please help me figure out how to keep two kids safe so I can get them back home? I'm teaching both some simpler self-defense, and that will help, but . . . I already know it's not enough.

Heeeeeeelllllloooo you beautiful people~

I the wonderful Minako Aino here with a few things I need to say. I believe these are of the utmost importance.

[At least to her, not so much to other people.]

First of all... I think we should honestly give the train an official name? Something we can all call it when we need to bother him for something which leads me to my next thing...

We need to bother the train. I am calling for people to gather together and as the many ask for one thing and one thing only... Rooms for couples because it's needed~ Though I have taken one of the Quiet rooms for couples private use until then, but join with me and we shall keep it up until the train gets annoyed.

[She gives a small wink briefly.]

But as I stated, I have picked out a quiet room for couples and will arrange to get curtains put in because someone said doing that is possible. Give me a few days and it should be ready by them... maybe. [She paused for a brief moment.]

Finally, my door is always open for those who need love advice or help in any way. I am after all the love expert on this train.

[ The ICP comes on, broadcasting a message to all from the Library. Two figures stand side by side, one decked in elegant custom garb; the other in utilitarian Purple, with the standard coat that comes with their gear. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Glorfindel to the left, his smile open and inviting; next to him is Roland, arms crossed against his chest, expression a bit more serious. ]

( A message from a walking sun and a guy who does paperwork for fun! )

(OOC: either glorfindel and/or roland will be threadhopping to reply to tags on this post! for Purple-mates, the actual mixer log with top-levels will be on August 23 IRL, so after the beach episode. so we can all have fun first!! or potentially get memshare trauma, which is the best time to discuss work, right?? please use this as your IC channel to discuss things and we can assume that these 2 will be taking notes as they go! )

'Sup everyone, how's it going? Got a more fun proposal than I last time I was here. [ A grin. ]

So I've been thinking we could run some sports groups! The gym's emptier these days with the training one used for all the fighting and magic classes, and it's going to waste! I don't know all the games they have the equipment for here, but there's a few I've been practising, and I figure we can spend a few days seeing what everyone likes and setting up different times people can come in and have a go.

I got a few friends to help out show some off: volleyball, badminton, tennis. Been practising basketball too. But if there's any you know and want people to get involved with, let's do it! Let's get some partners and have fun. There's hoops and nets gathering dust here.

I'm thinking we could do something around after lunchtime for the next few days, but I'll let you guys know the times for sure later. There's instructions on the ICP too if we wanna try something new once in a while, so come and check 'em out--I can even show you a few games now!

( OOC post about this here! )

[Nita looks - perhaps to the relief of some - a lot less tired than she has been post-mission. She is holding a journal, rather than her Manual.]

Morning, everyone! This is just to let everyone know that, after Kaiba and I held the election for the remaining council seats, we have our winners!

I'm happy to announce that our new council members are Glorfindel and Gladio!

[And won't Gladio be glad she's not full-naming him on 'live tv,' so to speak?]

Now, I remember that we didn't set a specific date for a next meeting, the last time we had one; fellow council-members, when do you think would be best to have it?

[... Preferably before the next mission, if it's her choice!]

And, assuming all months on this calendar stay at thirty days, just want to remind you all that tomorrow's another platform day, plus when we get our new point tallies.

[So keep Tidus' post in mind for requests on what to get from the shop, basically.]

Think I just need another nap, though...

[And she signs off, shaking her head with a wry smile on her face, in the hopes no one caught that last bit!]

blitzcheer

Heya everyone! Last mission got me thinking about supplies some more, and what'd help to have beyond just healing. Plus, things we could be doing before a mission comes up to be prepared, you know?

So food's good to take, plus having some containers to take it in. Water bottles or somethin'--I know we can buy those from the train shop, but newbies can't get them with just three points.

What else do you guys think'd be good? And maybe some of us can prepare food for a mission before it comes up too? Or we can buy somethin' in too that keeps. [ He waves a hand. ]

I know some feel like they're not doing much 'cause they can't fight, so maybe we can come up with some ideas! Plus, you know--these missions aren't just 'bout fighting either. Soo, I just thought it'd be good to talk about.

Well--see ya around!
