Zack was in a darn good mood, in spite of a pair of slightly blackened eyes and a tender nose that was a little on the crunchy side, but was totally hard-earned.

Why was he so chipper?

Because it was Rookie Day at the reserves, that was why! New people on the island meant that there were probably going to be new people here today, and Zack was totally happy to take the reigns and lead the troops!

"Okay! So, we've got a new term, and ~~possibly~~ a few new faces, so we're going to do our introductions over again! Names, fighting experience, and weapons proficiency, as well as any other skills you think might come in handy in the case of an invasion, if you please!"

Arthur shot him a slightly sideways look. "Before we get to that," he said, scraping his throat, "I am Prince Arthur Pendragon, leader of the reserves, and these are my," sidekicks, "fellow commanders, Lord Leto Atreides the Second, and Zack Fair, SOLDIER Second Class. We're willing to help you if you are in need of any further combat training, as are your fellow reserve members, I'm sure." Look, he was being good.

Zack blinked. Ooooh, right. Introductions for them was probably important too, huh?

"That's right! Come and see any of us if you're looking for help with..." Headtilt. Ponder. "Anything, really. Oh! And we have maps of the island, too! We're going to hand those out, and if the seasoned members would be so kind as to show the rookies what to look out for around here, like areas where the terrain might grant a tactical advantage, or training areas, or things to watch out for, that'd be great!"

"As for the rest of you, if you find anyone who might be interested in joining us, spread the word," Arthur called, "I know you lot think you're good, but you can always use another kick in the arse." This was what passed for humour, clearly. "Work well today. We'll see come next week."

"Dinah Lance," she said. "In training for going on two years now. Tai Chi and kickboxing, as well as eskrima sticks, boomerangs, staff, and swords and guns for the last six months." Dinah smiled at the new people. "Also, telekinesis and, uh. Touch-telepathy." She cleared her throat. "I can shield so I don't get any info from you, but the easiest way to make sure I don't read you is to not touch me, especially without warning."

She really kind of hated that she felt obligated to add that part. She hoped no one had a problem with it. "And I'm training to be a private investigator."

Well, Zack certainly didn't have a problem with it, at any rate.

"A private investigator, huh? Have you been able to put any of your sleuthing to work here in Fandom, yet?"

Dinah grinned. "Nope, unless you count just knowing as much about everyone as I can, and where they live in the dorms, and who they know, and where they're from... which I guess is background work, of a kind, isn't it?"

"Sounds like it to me," Zack laughed, nodding. "And you totally left out that you're a force to be reckoned with when you've been eating ice-cream and drinking soda."

"Sugar power!" Dinah sang, and pointed at him. "You didn't say it either, though! Mr. Pixie Stix."

Zack laughed as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"That's totally my prerogative as a leader of the reserves," he decided. And yes, entirely out of the blue. "It's my secret weapon! Hardly so secret if I just out and tell everyone about it, isn't it?"

"So now we're both outed as cookie-fiends and caffiene-monsters, and all the new kids are warned, and will hopefully feed us sugar just to prove us wrong."

Hey, as theories go, Dinah liked this one.

"The island would never be safer!"

This was the best theory ever.
