Behind the Dorms, Tuesday After Classes

"It's introductions time again," Zack said, launching right into his greeting the moment it looked like everyone who was going to show up for the Reserves meeting was there. This was in no small part due to the fact that he'd only actually met one of the new kids yet, and his wiggly puppy sense was tingling.

A lot.

"Every semester we seem to get a trickle in of new faces, so it can't hurt for all of us to stand up and share! We need names, your fighting experience and weapons proficiency, and what kind of other skills you might have that would come in handy in an invasion situation!"

A pause. A kind of squirmy sway from one foot to the other. Zack wanted to get started on that noooooow.

"You new guys have probably had the invasions mentioned to you at least once by now, I hope. If not, uh... Welcome to Fandom Island! That sort of thing is what we're here for! I'll go first! I'm Zack Fair, SOLDIER 2nd Class, so yes, I am a kid in the military, and I do have a pretty decent rank, too. My weapon of choice is a sword and materia- little round spheres that let me cast spells, like fireballs or healing. I have access to items that can heal a person in a pinch, too, which comes in really handy on the field. Okay! Somebody else's turn!"

People! Introductions! Yay!

[OCD is up, and once again, the reserves are open to anyone who feels compelled to stumble along to scope it all out. We love new faces, from fighters and those interested in becoming them!]

Hey, cookies were good!

Armed with his new My Name Is Jak and I Have Difficulty Speaking sign (well, armed by having it in his pocket), Jak happily made his entrance onto the grounds, taking a cookie and chowing down on it before considering the people gathered.

...

Well.

Jak held up his wee paper sign (Hi, his name was Jak, and he had difficulty speaking) before launching into a few feigned kicks and punches. He couldn't really show off the eco thing since he wasn't, you know, in possession of any, but he did punch his hand forward in a way he hoped would communicate the whole sometimes I can shoot fireballs thing.

...Fiona was glad to be human-shaped again just because she could come to this properly. The idea of new people had her excited.

Azula had been looking forward to this day since Dinah informed her of this group. Since this was a military reserve, Azula appeared wearing her armor. It was always good to look your best.

Ben took two cookies (okay, three, shhh) and looked around for new faces.

Ben grinned at Zack. "I feel like I just did this," he teased. "I'm Ben Skywalker, and yes, if you have Master Skywalker for a class, we're related. I'm a Jedi, which means that I have faster reflexes than, well, a lot of you. My weapon of choice is the lightsaber, though I can also use a sniper rifle or just about anything else that can shoot in a pinch. Oh, and I'm also a pretty decent mechanic and pilot."

"I'm Azula, Princess of the Fire Nation. I was the right hand of the Fire Lord, the general and commander of the Fire Nation army." She crossed her arms and didn't elaborate on her campaigns. "I'm a Master Firebender and an expert in hand-to-hand combat and proficient in the use of bladed weapons. I am swift, agile and deadly in combat."

Tahiri didn't usually scarf down cookies at the meetings mostly because they didn't usually have cookies out at the meetings.

Someone hadn't yet recovered from third period, though.

Someone was so definitely focusing on the cookies.

"This is why I let Ben talk first," Tahiri said with a slight smirk before she actually went into her introduction. "Tahiri Veila. Like he said, I'm a Jedi. I'm pretty decent at using telekinesis in a fight now, and my weapon of choice is the lightsaber too. I can use a gaderffii, a blaster or a staff, too. And I wouldn't say I'm great at it but I've got some piloting experience now."

Gabrielle plus cookies equaled glee.

Okay, maybe not all-out glee, but there was definite happy.

"Gabrielle, and I'm a bard," she spoke up, waving a half-eaten cookie at everyone with a cheerful smile (and an extra wave for Jak because she still felt bad about that whole Rice Krispie thing). "I like my trusty old staff, and you don't want me using a bow and arrow anyway, really. I've learned a lot about battlefield healing --" people these days would call it first aid -- "and rallying civilians in desperate situations."

Cookies were totally good, and Ino was perfectly content to eat a few while she listened idly.

"Ino," she said, with all the confidence of someone who'd gone through this before. "Seven years formal training, almost four on active duty. I'm good with wires, bombs, cards, kunai and can walk on walls and stuff."

Which left out, like, half of what else she could do. Some of that was confidential, and some of it she doubted they'd ever need on Fandom.

"And I'm a healer." That one... was a good thing to share.

Karla was here, both as a leader of another Reserve and because she had decided that she was going to 'officially' (well, as officially as they got) join the Fighting Reserve. She still was pretty much a dead amateur at everything, but she was learning. And this could only help her get better.

Hopefully.

So she had grabbed a handful of cookies and wandered around.

Oooh. Food.

Mat was starting to wonder if that was how they lured people around the campus around here.

Hat pulled jauntily over his hair, he grinned at anyone who glanced his way.

The punch could just be a punch but Azula wanted to be certain, "You can create fire?"

For a moment, Karla quailed; the instinctive everyone is so much better than me at this, but pushed that feeling away. Summoning up a bit of bravado, she stood, smiled and said, "Kiss kiss. I'm Karla, and I'm learning hand-to-hand, swordwork, and knives. I don't have much experience with any of those yet, though I am learning. Right now, I pretty much have speed and agility on my side. However, my weapon of choice would be energy blasts with my Craft. I'm also one of the leaders of the Magic Reserve. I can also shield myself and people around me and I'm an expert in both magical and non-magical Healing."

"You don't mind me coming even though I'm not much of a fighter, right Zack?" Karla asked, a little worried.

Though that might have been a good thing to ask before the introduction, Karla.

Jak crossed his arms, shrugged one shoulder to denote sometimes (like when he was charged up on yellow eco) but nodded. It was nothing, really.

He just wished he had some eco to show it off.
