Behind the Dorms, Tuesday After Workshops

When the reserves group gathered for today’s meeting, they’d be met with... Well, they’d be met with Zack, stepping forward and grinning brightly at the lot of them, maybe bouncing on his toes for good measure. Hey, just because there was the possibility of new people didn’t mean he was going to try to be all serious about it. Zack didn’t do serious all that well.

“Hey, guys! Welcome to the first reserves meeting of the new term!” He nodded toward the table that was set up nearby. “Help yourself to the cookies if you haven’t already? We’re going to take it easy today before we get into the serious stuff again next week. Introductions and things like that, in case there are any newbies around, you know? Starting with us, of course. I’m Zack Fair, SOLDIER 1st Class. I specialize in working with swords,” like the absolutely massive one on his back, “and take on some of the most heavy missions that my job back home can hand a guy. Usually on my own.”

“Kennedy,” the girl who was about half his size and cradling a crossbow in the crook of one arm spoke up. “Potential Slayer, trained to fight demons and your standard supernatural baddies. Long story, ask me later if you want to know. I know swords, not as much as Zack does, and knives and a few other things, but my real favorite is this baby here. I’ve been working with crossbows for nine years.”

“Jak,” said the blond who looked like he both desperately needed a haircut, and didn’t care much about haircuts to begin with. He also had ears that stuck out... at least several inches and tapered off to a pointy end, and a chunk of metal strapped to his thigh. “Freedom fighter. I’m good with hand-to-hand, but my thing is shooting things. Or blowing them up.” He took said chunk of metal from his thigh, pulled another chunk of metal off his back and pressed the two of them together. The whole affair stretched out suddenly, assuming the shape of a gun with a large blue cartridge shoved in the back. “Any questions?”

Gunn was taking his time and checking any newbies that might be showing up, just to get an idea who was who and what they might be alla bout.

"I'm Gunn," he said crossing his arms and trying to maintain his "bad ass" attitude. "Used to lead my crew back in LA against a bunch of vampires on a nightly basis. I'm good with stakes, swords, axes, crossbows, fists. You name it."

Goose was definitely there, he wasn't really mingling as he was standing near the back but he was still there.

"Shane Gooseman, Goose," Goose said, "I've had military training and blasters are my main weapon of choice, give me a blaster and I'll shoot it"

Ino had a few cookies and was nibbling on them as she glanced around. Always interesting, seeing what was up, wasn't it?

James nodded politely at the other people at the meeting, squirreling away some cookies for later.

He was watching without appearing to do so, taking mental notes.

"Ino," she said, with a bit of a wave. "I'm not bad at hand-to-hand or with knives and needles," senbon, "but I'm primarily a saboteur and healer.”

And infiltration and assassination, but Ino wasn’t too keen on sharing that, really.

"You know," she said cheerfully. "Have you ever considered shrinking just a bit?"

Said the girl who was barely scraping five feet tall, yes. And if she kept talking it meant she didn't have to think! Score!

"James, Squire of Krondor," he said, one hand resting lightly on the hilt of his rapier. "Swords and knives, and some familiarity with distractions." Like the smoke bomb he currently had hidden in a belt pouch.

"Shrinking?" it wasn't something that he had spent a lot of time thinking about, in actuality the concept hadn't even occurred to him.

"Well," she said, eyes wide. "You're awfully tall, did you know?"

A beat.

"Not that it's a bad thing," Ino added, "though it makes for an awful lot of people havin' to get cricks in their necks to talk to you."

Kennedy was absolutely not cuddling that crossbow. Holding it reverently with the occasional affectionate pat to its stock, yes, but not cuddling it. That would be undignified.

She miiiiiight be a little bit sad that her pockets couldn't hold 99 cookies like Zack's could, though that wouldn't have an impact on her being available to talk if you wanted to do that.

The crossbow wasn't loaded, anyhow, and come on, like she was careless enough with it to accidentally shoot anything. She'd learned that lesson the hard way after an incident with a Ming dynasty vase when she was nine.

As if Tahiri would knock the cookie tradition? Some traditions were worth upholding, definitely, like she was doing now by partaking of the cookies. They had to be appreciated.

Asuna wasn't knocking it, she loved it! She has two cookies on each hand.

"Tahiri Veila, Jedi Knight," she introduced herself, still a touch uncomfortable with the full title but less so than when she'd first been Knighted. "I've been actively involved in the recently-ended war at home for three years: ground combat with lightsabers and blasters as well as hand-to-hand, infiltration missions, strike teams --" her voice might have caught for just the briefest moment there -- "and, um, I commanded a starfighter squadron for a little while."

She tried for a self-deprecating smile. "We're sort of expected to be able to do just about anything that gets thrown our way."

"Hello, I'm Asuna Kagurazaka!" She waved. "I trained in martial arts and the sword and I'm a little strong." Asuna was about to sit down when she remembered another detail and popped back up to her feet. "Oh, and I helped fight demons at home!"

Madison didn't particularly consider herself the fighty type but she did have some martial arts training and given everything currently going on in her life, this could be a useful group of people to get to know.

She ignored the cookies and chose to study the other students mingling.

By the time it was Madison's turn, she was feeling rather outclassed.

"Uh, I'm Madison Avery," she said. "I don't have any weapons experience but I took martial arts for a couple of years."

Firekeeper was nibbling away at a cookie. Blind Seer, on the other hand, was ignoring them. Cookies were not that great for wolf stomachs.
