We're all in this train-gether 🚂

Who: OTA. If you’re a passenger with a ticket on this train, then you are most welcome here!
Where: Upper Music Car
When: Imagination 18, at around brunch.
What: Welcome to the train’s first ever community open forum. Come for the food, stay for the best discussions ever.
Warnings: Lots of top-levels for easy access to relevant topics to your characters, but apart from that, nothing right now! (Not a warning but a heads-up that one TL will be dedicated to the dissemination and discussion of the bonus trek during the last mission. For your OOC reference, please see here.)



Someway through the 18th of Imagination, an announcement for the already spoken for meeting is shared by the ICPs, giving people twenty minutes to come to the upper Music Carriage for the gathering. While the chairs mostly face the stage, they’ve been curved to allow people to face their fellow passengers too, so not to put the sole focus in one place.

This is a meeting for all, and everyone will have their chance to speak and be heard.

The promised snack table sits to one side of the room, and on the stage, the white board from the standard coach has been brought in, written on it bullet points for the planned topics. To assist in the flow of discussion, familiar moderators stand in place to help jot things down, carry conversation further should one idea end while another is ready to begin, among other such administrative tasks to organize the forum. Plus, the ICP’s are in constant use all throughout the meeting, with basic announcements about what’s being discussed now, and how more people are still welcome to catch up to the Music Car if they hear something that interests them.

Grab a plate, settle down, and let’s get to work.

(OOC: Specific top-levels will be set-up for ease of tagging. Select ‘Show Top-Level Comments Only’ if you would like to skip ahead! And as much as possible kindly keep to a single thread in that TL, unless a very special or private point has to be made with regards to the subject! :) Of course if you will be tagging the snacks table, the extra suggestions, or the meta-thread, this does not apply any longer.

Also, very important: Please see here for an example format of how documentation of missions can go! It is most relevant during the discussion on information gathering.)

[She has to tread this topic very carefully, as she's not sure whether what she was told was made in confidence.]

Her story is not mine to share. But she may provide insight on the topic we are presently discussing.

[That should be sufficient. Anything that Raven felt comfortable sharing with Kaiba was her choice to make.]

...all right. I'll keep that in mind when I see her again.

Thank you. Can I help you with anything else?

[Hm...]

Yes. A question, if you don't mind.

As one of the leaders, what are your thoughts on the current division of leadership?

Well, I won't be one for much longer.

[ He knows which way the wind is blowing. His expression is...mostly regretful. ]

We abdicated our responsibility and left a void that the others stepped up and filled. Things change so much so quickly that...a very loose, ever-shifting structure is probably what we need. Small clubs that practice skills, and a few coordinators with a big-picture outlook to guide them to the right places.

That's...probably how it needs to be.

[That's what surprises her the most. She can barely fathom anybody in power just... stepping down.]

You don't think you'll have regrets? Or try to reclaim your position?

['You're really okay with this?']

[personal profile] blue_ice 2020-12-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I have regrets. That I lost my touch to such a degree that they needed to call me out in the first place. That I failed in my promises. That we stifled people so much.

I don't know what happens to me now...but I trust they can't do worse.

...

If you truly believe that than you don't know how bad worse can get.
blue_ice: (k bye)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2020-12-11 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
...ha, if I didn't know them by now, then maybe I'd agree.

But they're good people, with very different ideas about what leadership is.

[He's taking this hard, as well he should. The fact that he is not protesting or fighting this, though, is perhaps one of the other reasons he should not be leading. In his heart of hearts he knows that this is for the best.]

[Eight can respect the decision, even as it confuses her.]


Perhaps...

...but so long as there is another day, you too are a part of this fight.

I hope we can continue to count on you.

[Even if she's not entirely sure what it was that Kaibi did.]

[ He nods. ]
