from here [open!]

[blue_ice]

Who: The remaining Council (Seto, Nita, Curufin, Eva, and Glorfindel, with Nerdanel taking a quieter role) and everyone! Everything's fully open, feel free to comment anywhere.
Where: Upper Music Car
When: Imagination 21, before the train's questions and answers
What: The community's voices have been heard. It's time for a change.
Warnings: Discussion of grisly last mission, potential for heated discussion.

That morning, Seto makes a brief ICP announcement.

"Everyone...the remainder of the Council is meeting today to discuss your feedback and incorporate some changes this morning. Come by to keep holding us accountable. It shouldn't be as long as the main meeting, but I'll have the coffee, water, and whatever else we can rustle up."

Indeed, everything's set up similarly. Plenty of space. The stage is set for what will hopefully be a productive discussion.

"Disbanding the council is my vote as well," Glorfindel said. "The Train has outgrown a need for a council for now. Who knows what the future will bring, but I'm sure the Void Treckers will face it together."

He smiled at the others. "I never really got a chance to really work with the Council, but I know and respect each of you. If you ever need my support, be it for a project or just something personal, please just ask."

"Thank you."

Nita's voice is small, but when she spoke up at last it was clear. As... uncertain, as things had seemed lately, it was good to see people at their best.

"I'll definitely still be around... but I don't need to be a Councilmember to do that, and all of you will have my help if you ask, too."

She looked - glanced - at the ICP as she said that, since it wasn't just a promise to the people in the room.

"Trust me, the moment I want to stay on anything for the sake of social or political status is the moment I should be thrown off a team."

It's more a mutter than anything, but the words are true. Eva absolutely has nothing but the best interests of everyone at heart, and that's what makes this hard for her in many ways. "It should be unanimous. I can't say I'm in favour just based on what I've experienced back on Arkea, but if that's what everyone else here wants to do, then I will follow as well. Plus, I'll also still be around to help where I can and if asked, so..."

She shrugs a little.

Curufin smiles at Eva. "I can't imagine you'd do anything for such trivial reasons."

And then he gives the rest of them a smile as well, though he has mixed feelings about this situation. "So, then, it looks like it is unanimous. And I was going to say that on this train, there are so many projects that are just beginning, and so many that could be devised and should be, that I don't think we are going to have our creativity and ingenuity wasted because we can't be Council members. I, too, will be available to give whatever help is needed. I'm eager to get started."
