Behind The Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

Arthur had made sure to set up behind the dorms with a reasonable level of visibility. It was, after all, the first meeting since the welcome picnic, and they had to make themselves obvious to the newbies should one or two be drawn to the gathering.

"Good afternoon, people. I am Arthur Pendragon, and these are Zack Fair and Leto Atreides."

He had even let Zack supply the cookies this time. He figured it wouldn't hurt to charm a few, either.

"For those of you who have only just arrived on Fandom, welcome to the Fighting Reserves. Here is where we practice and plan for any invasions with the help of sinew, steel, and other materials from worlds beyond our ken. If you're looking for another way to contribute, Magic Reserves meets on Monday in the Preserve, and Support Services meets on Friday in the park."

That, apparently, were the administrative messages.

"Now, this is the week of the introduction, as most of you know. So if you're new, or you'd like to give the newcomers an update on your abilities, please, let us know who you are and what you can do. Everyone else," and he rubbed his hands as he considered the area severely, "please share your experiences with Fandom invasions, how we handled them, and maybe one or two ideas about how to better handle them next time round."

"Newbies," he continued, "Please keep in mind that the island likes to keep us on our toes, so whatever has invaded in the past will likely not be what invades next. That doesn't mean we can't prepare. Now, get to it."

And Leto was here too, curious to see which of the new students would show up. He'd be surprised if no one did.

Leto glanced at Arthur. "Have you met any of the new students?" he asked neutrally.

"Who did you invite?" Leto asked, certainly not expressing any interest beyond what could be considered expected.

"Charles Gunn?" Leto asked, in case there were more students named Charles. "He's my new roommate. And I've spoken to a few, but not about the reserves."

Yes, Arthur would probably see fit to insult him about that. Leto was going to ignore it.

If no longer being counted among Arthur's friends saved him from having to put up with stupid insults, Leto wasn't going to complain.

He gave Arthur a quick nod and turned away.

Apologizing when she didn't think she was wrong (though Ino would concede poorly behaved) wasn't happening.

But Ino was there, up in her tree, and nibbling on the cookies.

Jennifer was there, feeling a little out of place.

It was a lot easier to deal with the machismo when she was near seven feet tall and green.

Fiona ignored the food, but she was curious as to who might have decided to come today.

Tahiri was helping herself to the cookies, and despite not being quite as readily inclined to fighting as some other Jedi around here she was disappointed that it was an introduction day. (She should have known, honestly, but . . .)

After last night's radio shock, then finding out she was in a class with Leia, she kind of wanted something to hit.

Triela still wasn't entirely comfortable in her new wardrobe, but the best way to get over that was to move in it. The Reserves were generally a pretty good place to get some sort of physical activity in, so she'd decided to show up.

Gabrielle's brain was still running at a thousand miles per hour (shh, this made sense even if she shouldn't be familiar with the terminology) after Monomyth, but that didn't stop her from showing up, leaning on her staff, and helping herself to cookies.

Maybe she'd figure out a way to make these over an open fire. Why should Xena be the only one to invent things in their time and never get properly credited for it, anyway?

Okay, seriously? This semester Kennedy had both her classes on Wednesday, which meant she had a really long weekend and, as always, a lot of energy to burn. Reserves were a highlight of her week, and the lack of any actual activity today meant that she was just going to have to find ways to burn that energy off later.

...sigh.

Not that this was going to stop her from leaning against the wall, thumbs hooked into her belt loops, doing her best to put on a demeanor of being one of the veteran kids around here.

Firekeeper made a bit of a face at the prospect of more introductions, but at least there was food. That mollified her somewhat.

He'd been invited, so Jacob showed up for the reserves. He was actually wearing shoes and a shirt, it was impressive.

And the first thing that'd get his attention today would be the sandwiches and cookies. Werewolves had to keep up their strength.

So here was to hoping he wouldn't be the only one having to introduce himself.

"I'm Jacob Black," he spoke up, scrambling for things to say. "I'm Quileute for anyone who cares. And abilities..."

He could turn into a wolf, healed pretty fast and could stand in the cold with his shirt off. "I'm pretty strong, but I don't do magic or anything like that."

Kennedy had told her about the Reserves. While Dru still wasn't sure she believed that island wide invasions actually happened, she figured it'd be useful to attend. Maybe she'd learn something.

She grabbed a sandwich and waited to see what was up.
