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.)

[He blinked at his name and then looked down, his face holding deep sorrow. Sorrow that is always there, though often masked. Hidden behind a gentle smile and kind eyes.

Taiki can lie better than any kirin should. But he doesn't like it and he doesn't want to lie to his friends.]


No. No Tai isn't okay...

[ The look, the answer - either would have been enough alone. Either would have pulled down Tidus in the weight of their responses, and his head tips, an answer he already knew, but-

He's quiet at first, not knowing what to say. He wants to know, but right now... ]


...This isn't the place to talk about it, [ he speaks as a reassurance, that he isn't going to press. Eyes lifting to look at Taiki, his expression remorseful. ]

But I... I'm sorry.

I know... [It takes a moment, to fight the sorrow that has come over him but he pulls the mask up again. Hiding the loss and the pain, his face smoothing as he calms it, nods sadly at Tidus.]

I'm sorry. [Her wasn't the place for it and he feels bad for ruining Tidus' jovial mood like that.]

[ It takes Tidus second, one second of hesitation, and then his hands come to rest on Taiki's shoulders. Squeezing them, head tipping in its nod as if to make sure Taiki can see his face. ]

Hey, don't be. But I believe in you - you and Lord Saku. Okay? Whatever happens, I know you'll think of something. There's no one that makes you stronger than doing anything you can for him. I believe in you, [ he assures on a lowered note, no less determined in its message. ] I've seen it.

I want you to know that.
longforgottenpromise: (listening)

[His eyes raise to meet Tidus' sadly, but the touch is welcome, it's friendly and Tidus words strengthen him.

He still has no idea what he's done to earn such belief from Tidus and Inigo, but he can only be grateful for their trust.

No one makes him stronger than doing what he can for Lord Gyousou, there is truth to that. Perhaps one of the only solid truths of Taiki's life. When he is acting for his king, he can push himself beyond any fear, any limits. There's nothing he wouldn't do for him.]


Thank you, Tidus...
blitzcheer: (something blah ugh words)

[ His mouth tugs, if not exactly into a smile. Something as close to comforting as he can offer, though he's sure this isn't a situation, an issue he can give anything to.

But he gives Taiki's shoulders one last squeeze before letting his hands drop. ]


You don't give up, even when everything looks hopeless. That's what I learned back in Spira.

[He nodded. Tidus was right, of course he was right. Tidus had had to make terrible decisions, face great pain.

They couldn't give up. He couldn't give up. He held not just his own hope but the hope of all the people on Tai. He is the last person who could give up.]
I won't. I promise.
