If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

Just doing a check - how many of you can make some kind of portable healing item? Like... a potion or stimulant, or, dunno, a cake, or something that'll heal injuries quickly. Missions are getting pretty dangerous, and with it liking to split the teams up so much, I figure it'd be good to start thinking about back-up plans in case a team's healer is taken out of commission or ends up 'visiting the control coach' during mission week.

[ Like her, for example. ]

Just... gimme an idea of what you can make, and what you'd need for it, I guess. Reply to standard coach, or come and talk to me.

[ She reaches towards the screen, then pauses. ] Oh, right. I've finished writing up my notes of the missions so far, so if you want to come and give 'em a look, get an idea of what you'll be doing in the future, that's fine too.

[ Bwip. ]

[ About ten minutes later, she's back: ] Just repeating something Tidus said - it'd be good to know the same for defensive supplies. Stun grenades, nets, deployable barriers. Magic or whatever else that does the same thing.

[ooc: Sorry this was supposed to go up yesterday.]

Please welcome with me our new council! We had a three way tie for our last two spots, so we're going to have twelve members.

These individuals are: Bucky, Curufin, Eva, Feanor, Kaiba, Nerdanel, Nita, Sarai, Yuffie, Ignis, The Doctor, and myself.

Congratulations and we'll have to come up with a good time for our first meeting soon.

I found out awhile ago I was nominated and I... have been struggling to figure out how to address this. I'm worried that I may have been nominated because of who certain individuals may think I am.

[ Luke paused, glancing away and biting his lip; it is entirely obvious that he's very nervous. It takes him a moment to look back, taking a deep breath before he plowed on. ]

My name is Luke Skywalker; I'm the son of Lord Vader, who was here previously. In my version of home, I am the commander of his Black Squadron, and... if my father has anything to say about it, the heir to the Imperial Throne.

[ He hesitated again, looking down as he fidgeted with his hands, taking another deep breath. ]

There are a lot of things I'm not that others have expected me to be, so I'll speak as to what I am and my experience. At eleven, I was enrolled at the Prefsbelt Imperial Academy, for pilot and officer training. I graduated at nineteen, and was promoted to commander in the middle of a battle to defend the Destroyer I was stationed on. I have been in three dogfights, and I was in the middle of an on going mission to usurp the current Emperor before coming here.

I grew up in a galaxy where the Emperor's word was absolute; where if you had the money and the favor, you could get whatever you wanted. It's not... a pleasant place at my point in time. My father and I, as well as a team of others, have been doing what we could to make things better, with myself taking point in attempts to gather allies.

I don't know how that will translate to being on train council. I admit, my diplomatic abilities are... lacking, as recent events have made evident. I'm doing what I can as a Purple team lead, but I know there's much I still have to learn. If I'm chosen, I will do my best to step up and learn from all of you, so I may serve you as best I can.

Team Orange, Eva and I are calling a meeting, and I thought it would be simpler to have it on voidtreckernet than in person.

The purpose of this meeting is to go over the draft of a team survey that Eva and I have worked out, and let us know what you think of it before we post it and ask everyone to fill it out. If you can think of any questions that should be on the questionnaire that aren't, then this is your chance to let us know.

The purpose of the questionnaire is to take an inventory of everybody's skills, abilities, and possible contributions to team projects or mission goals. This might make it easier to get organized when the train next sends us on a mission. It'll also help us coordinate with each other before and during the mission. It might even help us if we create any team projects that don't relate to missions.

And by the way, good work, Team Orange! The last mission was highly successful and I consider that you had a lot to do with that.

This will be a questionnaire for Team Orange, but other teams should feel free to use it if they wish.

And this part is really important, so I'll repeat it: if you can think of any questions that should be on the survey that we haven't thought of, let us know in your replies to this post.

As I said above, you won't need to answer the questions yet. We'll modify the survey to reflect the feedback you give us today, and we'll post the final version in a separate post, soon.

Here it is, the draft of the survey:

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Compiled questions for Team Orange:

Personal information:

What’s your name?
What species are you?
How old are you?

Skills and abilities:

What are your particular skills and abilities? Professional, technical, crafts, magical, physical, weapons skills, communication, etc.? List them all below:

How did you use these skills and abilities in your own world or other worlds before you came to the Voidtrecker Express?

Have you been on any Voidtrecker missions yet?

If so, did you use your skills or abilities to further the goals of the mission?

How did you use them? Do you think it worked out well?

Miscellaneous:

Do you have items in your inventory that you have used to help with train projects or mission goals? Weapons, communication devices, or any other useful items?

Do you have ideas about how you'd like to contribute to missions in the future?

Would you like to receive training in skills you don't currently possess? If so, which? These can be any skill whatsoever that you think might be useful to the team or to missions.

Do you have any skills you'd like to teach?

Do you have ideas about what projects or endeavors our team might work on? This would be for the purposes of team-building, skills practice, fun, or any other purpose you can think of.

[ She's been meaning to ask this for a while, but never got around to it. Until now! ]

So I know you've all just finished filling out Stark's questionnaire, but I've got another question for you. Short, this time.

This is for everyone, not just the new lot, by the way. And if you're just responding with audio, say your name before you talk, because there's a lot of us nowadays... Actually, say your name even if you're using the cameras.

[ Pause, as she remembers how to phrase the question ] Basically... What's your specialty? If you were known for something back home, or you've realised since getting here that you can do something that the rest of us can't, what is it?

Okay so!

[ Here's Peter again, he maybe drinking a Monster Energy drink right at that moment. You can also here the lovely sound of Gwen Stacy giggling in background which is making him giggle. ]

Shh! You're making me laugh. [ And this has absolutely got to be done with a straight face. ]

Gwen and I are going through my laptop and I completely forgot I had this song.

[ cue this song playing over the intercom from Peter's computer. ]

[ Also, both Spider-Teens dissolve into a fit of giggles. ]

[ Evie's message comes from the gym car. She sounds hopeful and curious, and for anyone that knows her, there's that hint of Stubborn Princess on a Mission. Don't worry. It's nothing bad. She's actually enjoying this little project she set herself up for. ]

Hello and welcome to the new passengers. My name, for those that haven't met me, is Evie Grimhilde. I hope you all got a pamphlet, because the information is very useful. I have a request to make. I need any and all unused hair bobbles and hairpins. There's a girl here that's going to need them, and I'm sure we'll come across more soon, but for now? We need your help.

We're in the gym car. And if there's anyone who is really good at braiding hair, please come see me. Not that I'm bad at it? I'm just going to need the help.

Thank you!

[This comes shortly after Tony's own announcement.]

Orange Team.

Team Meeting in one of the Quiet Cabins. That said, start getting your gear together, though they should provide us with warm weather things too. Stark-san's right either way: There's never much time to prep re: what we can do and I'd rather we start now than figure it out as we go or are about to be dropped off.

[Like she said, she's waiting in one of the Quite Cabins.]

[It's about an hour after the messages from Curufin and his mother. Your self-proclaimed leader is ready to 'lead' at you.]

Alright, we all heard the warning. Team leads, check in with your teammates both new ones and those who have been here awhile. We need people to volunteer making packs like the last mission for rations and supplies for everyone. Those with first-aid training should offer refresher courses or introduction demonstrations as we have some new people on board.

What kind of abilities and powers do we have on board that could assist with people who might be freezing? We need to brainstorm quick ways to make either potions or devices that we can give or use to prevent hypothermia.

They never give us much time with these things, so let's get on this.

[Second message not too long after the first.]

If anyone with a taser used it last mission and needs it fixed, let me know. If you'd like a taser, also let me know. These are specifically for those who aren't accustomed to fighting.

Hey guys!

[ The slightly breathless but usually excited voice of Peter Parker comes over the intercom. ]

So I figured out how to play music over the intercom-I think. If not it'll still play through like.. my laptop screen-speaker. Whatever.

So, anyone that hasn't ever heard Imagine dragons and like so many other bands, I'm about to fix that for you.

[ And so, without further ado his playlist starts with Natrual and then goes on to These songs on shuffle. ]

Good afternoon, Voidtreckers. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Tony Stark. I have a few matters to discuss with all of you.

For those who are new to this train, please fill out the questionnaire that was attached to each ICP in the 'welcome packet'. Yes, these answers are kept strictly confidential and the only purpose for me collecting them is to find some kind of pattern in being brought here. For those who have been here longer, please check if you've completed all the questions as I've added a few. If this irritates you, blame Peter Parker.

Anyway, as requested, I'm going to be giving the Train Council a debriefing on my findings so far in the next few days. Spoiler alert, I've found very little patterns.

For anyone interested, I'll be posting a list of currently offered classes and at what time per week on the door going into the dining carriage. As of right now, there are yoga classes every morning at 8:30, people offering various types of sparring lessons, and I'll be starting school with a class on math and a class on science later this week. If you're interested, let me know so I can give you a pre-class test to see where your current level is.

Does anyone garden? I've been working on an update ventilation system since we have kids on the train and those who potential have compromised breathing. It occurred to me, we might benefit greatly if we started to add small gardens throughout the train. I'll create proper lighting. If someone can build some gardening boxes, that would also be appreciated. As of now I have a list of the items in the kitchen that can be planted for those who would enjoy such activities.

Lastly, is the damn book-demon idiot still occupying and being a pain in the ass in the garden carriage? You've got one hour to cut that out.

Feanor, come find me. We need to talk.

[ooc- The bold is OOC so people can skim this easier.]
