Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon
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, andpossibly 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."
[Open! Newbies, feel free to stumble in and get involved, too! This is behind the dorms, so it should be easy to find even if you haven't been informed IC about what's going on.

Re: Introductions!
"I like to think so." Gabrielle beamed at him. "Thank you for backing me up on that, Zack! In theory I know how to kill a Centaur with it but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible."
Re: Introductions!
"The worst I've seen around here so far was the invasion of giant alligators that barfed razor-toothed flying fish," Zack shared. Because... It was true. "But I think being able to kill a Centaur would probably carry over into being able to hold your own in an invasion of... whatever they get around here, whenever they get it."
That sounded about right, didn't it?
Re: Introductions!
Oh yeah. She was going to be one of those.
Re: Introductions!
"Killing people isn't for everyone," he noted, offering her a smile that was reassuring as he could manage. "So long as you're here to keep the island safe, we'll make sure there's a place for you, don't worry."
