fandomhighdorms | Combined Magic/Support Reserves Meeting, The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon

Thanks to baking class today, there were plenty of cupcakes to go around for anyone who showed up today. They were also very...interestingly decorated, but fairly heavy on the frosting, so all was well. There were also assorted pastries and things from J,GoB in case anyone got tried of cupcakes and wanted something else.

When everyone was more or less assembled and had gotten something to snack on, Karla stepped forward. "Welcome to the first ever meeting of the combined Magic and Support Reserves. I'm Karla and this is Tara, for Magic; Emmett, for Support; and Raven, who's liaising for both because she's just awesome that way." Karla smiled at the other leaders and turned back to the group. "For those newbies who haven't yet heard, Fandom gets invaded on a semi-regular basis: in the past, students have fought off gremlins, alligators, monkey-ponies, zombies, harpies, and a whole slew of other creatures that I've probably never even heard of. That's why the three reserves were formed: the Military Reserves for people with weapons skills, the Magic Reserves for people with paranormal powers--" Karla had looked that term up "--and Support for people who are willing to patch up the injured, research to find the best way to defeat the latest invasion, keep people fed and hydrated, and organize the non-combatants to keep everyone as safe as possible. Since there's a lot of overlap between the two latter groups, we decided to try having both meetings together."

"Since it's the first week, we're going to do some introductions and then a fun activity." She pointed to the second table, covered in notebooks, sandwich fixings, first aid equipment, and half-filled balloons. There was enough glitter on the table to suggest what the balloons were likely filled with. "So, for the introductions: name, year, and why you showed up today, please. An explanation of any powers or useful skills would also be appreciated, but not mandatory. And then I'll explain the activity," she said, flashing them all a mischievous smile.

[~~Please wait for~~ OCD is up. As always, these meetings are open to all. No one needs to participate in the activities to show up, listen, and eat. People can join any and all reserves, so please don't feel limited!]

"Hey, Leda," Tim said. "I don't know if I've got much to offer, but Karla bribed me with snacks to show up."

"That's the standard currency around here." Leda grinned. "Well that and kisses. Or at least shirtlessness."

"Uh, she only offered snacks," Tim said.

"I suppose the shirtlessness is mostly just on the guys' part."

"Yeah, a lot of people around here seem into that," Tim said.

"I think it's a side effect of so many people here being so pretty. Some of us want to show off, some of us just like to look."

"I try not to objectify people like that," Tim said.

"And good for you." Leda smiled. "But just because you look past the outside, doesn't mean you can't appreciate it." This coming from a girl who didn't care that one of boys she'd been in love with was half wolf and looked it.

Tim shrugged. "I'd just rather get to know someone before I strip for them." Not that he'd stripped for anyone, ever. But in theory.

"Oh. Well that works too." Great, way to come across as a total skank there Leda.
