Train-wide meeting on 5th December!

[blitzcheer]

Hey everyone! As some of you may have heard, or seen in the IC Network Post here, a train-wide meeting has been put out to discuss future organisation of both train-related issues and missions. While Roland Crane is involved and a Team Leader for Purple, this is mainly coming from your everyday passengers wanting to push for a community effort (mainly, Senku, Gen, Tidus, and Roland), to give feedback to current ongoing operations, and basically, all that good stuff.

While the current structure of the Council and Team Leads may be spoken on, nothing is enforceable unless, of course, there’s a large agreement. We’re hoping that some good discussions and ideas can come from this, and if necessary, I’ll try and put together an outline of what came up after the log has winded down.

The log for this will be going up OOCly on the 5th of December, ICly Day 18 of Imagination.

Just for an idea of some points that will be addressed, here’s a bullet point (HOWEVER, characters are free to bring up their own concerns! Please do!!):

• Missions: Addressing necessary roles (leads, healers, suppliers, etc), means of organising, ways individuals can help, communication, obtaining supplies, any other thoughts; the function of Black Squad
• Supplies: Supplies that can be crafted, that can be useful on and off missions; foods, armour, weaponry that can be ordered, and other possible items that will be useful to stock on
• Train Life: Organising documentation of events on train and on mission, putting together a guide for Team Leads and Council and the goal of their roles, groups, etc; what can be bought, added; what can we do to help with life on the train?

This is just a quick outline. For an idea of how the post may look, a good idea is the past Purple Mixer. If your character has a topic they want to address, stick a header in the comment to make it easier to catch!

If you have any questions or such, please let us know! :)

How Eva'll react to things will depend on the day, but, thoughts wise at least-

If the idea comes up, Eva's gonna be against dismantling the current structure of the Council and Leads. She's likely to bring up that the Council needs an internal leader and a moderator though, with the internal leader preferably the one who's been on the train longest, and that the internal leader and moderate are not the same person and the leader's role mostly ceremonial unless they need a spokesperson for the train.

Mission wise- all of those are very good points and she agrees that the Team Leads need to do more. She will bring up the idea of team surveys to figure out who can do what, which IIRC Orange Team's done twice already.

Eva also has Thoughts on Enna's attempt to grab leadership, which reminds her far too much of Tony Stark, so that'll be informing her re that if it comes up.

Supplies wise, Eva'll offer to try and get more healing type items from her world, though she's also very keen to get the rest of her main team so what happened in the last mission doesn't happen again. OOCly, I have no idea if we have a list of what's in the Medical and Triage carriages, and if not, we should make one.


Train Life wise, Eva has the Welcome Guide she maintains and updates as needed, and to various people she's brought up or will bring up the idea of a Journal for everyone to record everything they know about well, everything re the Train so far, because she's pretty sure those books in the Libary are biased. She thinks there was an effort to document missions but she's not sure of what happened or what happened to it.

I can't speak of medical and triage, that will need to be asked of Katy and Elle I believe, though some supplies have been asked for. A supply list has been made of items bought here for missions, which were started up by Lightning, Tidus helping, and then Roland helping with auditing. But of course, others have contributed too!

During the meeting however, or as things get sorted out, I do want to make it more clear and make it hopefully sound more accessible to everyone. It always has been, but I believe there's been a few OOCly kerfuffles that made the discussion of supplies/using arms bands get... railroaded. But this is also a reason why we wanted the meeting to happen. (One of many reasons!)

You actually had no idea either of these existed. Is the Mission Guide IC? As eva would thoroughly mention that on the Welcome Guide if it is.

Awesome. I am gonna add to that healing stuff... though sadly not any berries. (they can't, IIRC, heal people. Just taste great!)

And making a note here that Eva would likely bring up getting the magic people to study the Lucky Egg she has. (Which in canon is an EXP Share thing, but as those don't exist in her AU, it got turned into a healing item for broken bones.)

Yes, the Mission Guide is IC! It's on the Character Initiatives here, but is also ICly available on the train and is actually stacked next to the Welcome Guides anyway.

Would you like me to note that Pokemon berries are available on that mission supply? Since while Lightning/Roland keep an eye on things, it's basically just like 'everything is stored here'. Food and anything that can expire is placed into Arms Bands to keep them safe.

Of course, if it comes up ICly. :) I'm considering moving the supplies list into its own post for better visibility! Everything on the list is available, mainly just you have people who will have access to it (which can obviously increase). Though really the medicines are mostly accessible, and some have been supplied to the medbay. (like the elixirs - they're elixirs. they're basically 'you were on the verge of death and now you're not)

Thanks, yet not at this stage re the berries. (the supply is very limited, even with staggering the growth :() The same with the Lucky Egg as I'd need to do a full write up of it outside TDLR: heals broken bones.

I'll make a note of that on the Welcome Guide re the Mission Guides!
