Horseshoe 2: Orange Team meet(ing) and mingle

[mtsilver_conquor]

Who: Orange Team (+ anyone else?)
Where: Dining Car (top level)
When: Horseshoe 2, morningish.
What: Orange Team meet(ing) and mingle
Warnings: None?


Either Eva or Curufin, or they both use the ICP to remind Orange Team of the meeting. "Orange Team, please report to the upper Dining Car for a Team Meeting. It isn't mandatory, but we do encourage everyone to attend. If you need a bribe: we have snacks."

For this meeting, Eva's commandeered the top of the dining carriage. Is it the best or the ideal location? no, not at all. Yet given the number of people in the team, it'll have to do.

Food-wise, there's there's enough honeycakes (thank you, Nerdanel) for anyone who wants one, along with far too many try fifty oran berries across numerous bowls. They taste something like oranges, but not nearly as big. There's also three bags of sweets and lollies spread across several bowls, too. There's also room for any other food, of course.

There's also a few stacks of paper that, outside the few Welcome Guides Eva's brought along just in case, seem to be a survey of some kind, and every Orange Team member will, at some point, be offered one by either Eva or Curufin.

(OOC: Edit: Survey is here!. Otherwise, threadjacking is encouraged. There will be a top-level for the Leaders, but otherwise, go wild, mingle, and bring up topics you think need to be covered and have fun!)

Curufin will stay by Emporio's side if he needs to cry. Everybody needs to, sometime. And losing your people is the best of reasons.

"You don't need to answer that question if you don't know, or if it hurts too much to answer it." He's actually not having too much trouble making sense of what Emporio is saying. The ruin of a world is an experience that Curufin himself had before he died. "At least you managed to stop the one who caused the damage. But I know, it's hard."

"I....I sort of answered it," he admits, holding the paper up. They're very simple answers ultimately- last in his room, a lot was happening...well, understandably in that last case if this is happening.

"...I just wish I could say, they'd be back there if I leave. ...that anything would," he adds with a sniff. He can't cry forever, he tells himself firmly. He...can't. He wipes his eyes, trying his best to get the rest of him to cooperate with that thought.

"I wish you could say that, too. We're all connected to our own worlds, no matter what happens, and we all want everything we knew and loved, and everyone, to be there if we should return."

He adds, "Don't be ashamed to cry. We all cry sometime."

[seacub]

"Y..yeah..."

Well, he's feeling a little better. Just a little better, and... ...

"...Thank you," he sniffs, looking up for a moment. "...for staying here, I guess." He sort of expects that most people will leave him to his own devices when the tears stop, exceptions being a small few. It's...nice.

"You're welcome," says Curufin with a kindly smile. "I am happy to stay. I wouldn't leave you to grieve alone. And don't hesitate to come and find me, if you ever need to talk about anything. I'm a good listener."

[seacub]

The boy nods, and while he's not sure what more he can say- though he supposes he might not have to say anything anyway- he's able to at least thank the elf.

"Y- yeah. I'll make sure to remember that," he says, nodding. From there, he looks back to his sheets of survey paper. "...I think...I can finish the rest of this, now."

Shall we call this a wrap?

[so_dark_a_road]

"All right, Emporio. I'll let you get on with it, and you can hand it back to me when you're finished."

He gives the boy a kindly look before he goes to check on others who are writing their survey answers. "You take care of yourself, and remember you're not alone in your sorrow. And you won't be alone in your joy, if anything good happens to you on the Voidtrecker. Which I am pretty sure will happen."

Sounds good!

[seacub]

"Right!" The nod this time is a slight bit more cheerful, and as he re-adjusts the papers to write on again, Emporio smiles. "I'll make sure to remember then!"
