Meeting of all interested students

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka submits the following invitation:


Any student wishing to discuss how ALL students armed, unarmed, magically armed, technologically armed, genetically armed, can work together to provide a safe atmosphere for ALL students and staff, while still allowing EVERY student to feel whole is welcomed to a meeting of the minds.

Please. People. Let's work together the way we did this weekend.







ET remove Beka's temper fit. It's irrelevant.

Kitty nods. "It could happen. At home, our enemy Magneto has helped us out a couple of times. Very few people are truly evil, so if you can find common ground you might be able to change their minds." She grimaces at a memory. "And some of the truly evil people I've met have been 'normal' - without any powers at all. They still did a lotta damage, though."

"Yeah. I thought Angelus was my enemy, but we've found some weird common ground. And he killed a hell of a lot of zombies."

Impulsive, because she's Beka Valentine, and instinct has saved her ass more times than she cares to count, Beka asks, "Kitty, I've started talking to some of the students who choose not to be armed, and some of the students who are just too meek to protect themselves. I've offered them my protection. Not like a gang, but in the 'you'll have to go through me to get to them' way. Would you be interested in helping me with that?"

"Gosh, yeah," says Kitty. "I could teach some've them how to fight, if they want. I learned a lotta unarmed techniques at my old school, and you don't have to be big or superstrong to hold off an enemy until help can get there."

"Fantastic." Beka smiles. "I don't know if they'll want to learn the defense, but... I think it'd be a good thing, you know, a gunbunny and a ... what's the right thing to call what makes you you? ... working together this way. I wonder if we could find one of the mages with battle skills to help." She snaps her fingers. "Alanna. Or Illyana, but... that might be awkward for you, if what 'Yana told me is true."

[ooc: What did Illyana say? I just took over the character and I haven't had a chance to catch up with her.]

"I'm just a girl," Kitty says. "And I don't mind working with Illyana. I know things are kinda weird right now, but back home she's my best friend, so I'd like it if we could work things out."

"Fair enough. A girl with some pretty cool talents." Beka smiles. "Illyana's good people, but I've got to tell you, I don't know if this version is as...selfless as your version back home. We can try. She might do it just because I ask. And I'd like to see you two work things out too. I care for her very much."
