Fighting Reserves: Behind the Dorms, After Classes (Tuesday Afternoon)

[brat_inslayage]

Maaaaan, it had been a while since the Reserves had met like this, hadn't it? If anything that wasn't going to do anything but encourage Zack to peer curiously around the group, trying to see if he could spot any new faces. Sure, it was a little chilly out, but that was what the coffee was for. Really, he was kind of starting to see what Maladicta saw in the stuff!

"Hey, guys! Welcome to the first Reserves meeting of the new semester! You're probably all introduced half to death by now, right?" He took a mouthful of sweet, sweet coffee, and offered the group a grin. "Sorry, but we're going to make you do it one more time, for good measure."

Maladicta peered out from under her umbrella ella ella to give him an amused look. "We'll at least try our best to make it interesting for you to do for no doubt the twentieth time these past two weeks."

"Because this isn't class." Kennedy paused long enough to take a swig of her own coffee. "Not to say this isn't serious business. So, new kids, let's just give you the quick rundown. If you're here, we're assuming you wanna help out next time something ugly goes down and we need to kick some ass. So-- introductions this time? You kinda get to brag about yourself, 'cause we're interested in knowing what you can do."

Arrive/Mingle!

And have coffee. And snacks, because you can't have a Reserves meeting without snacks when Zack and Kennedy are around.

Really, it wouldn't be a reserves meeting at all without snacks. Or the coffee, and Alexander, naturally, enjoyed them.

Yay snacks! Tuesday was the one day a week that Wesley didn't have classes or anything else to do, so the snacks had been a big factor in getting him to actually leave his room, shh.

Coffeeeeeee.

And snacks. And oh yes, military planning with Kennedy.

Squall was definitely not enjoying the snacks as he hung back and watched people. Shut up. They were good, okay?

Charlie was there mostly for the food. Yes, shameless.

But at least she was there, right?

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

Leda waved to her room mate, happy to see she hadn't been scared off yet. Hopefully this meeting would help convince her of why it was safe to stay.

"Hey Charlie. Settling in okay?"

Even though Cassidy had told him that it would be fine for him to come here, Anduin was still a little nervous as he made his way over to the group. The snacks helped though, giving him something to focus on besides his nerves.

James held the coffee with both hands, grateful for the warmth.

Introductions!

[brat_inslayage]

Name, fighting experience, what you can do if you want to share that. So you had a lot of this to do last week. IT'S FASHIONABLY LATE, OKAY?

Re: Introductions!

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Well, Wes was always up for bragging about himself.

"My name is Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, I've had eleven years of training in all forms of combat and martial arts" -- not that that made him any good at most of it -- "and I'm particularly adept at fencing and marksmanship."

Re: Introductions!

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Hi, I'm Leda. I've got training in hand to hand combat and fencing, I'm a very good shot with a throwing knife, and I've got a fair amount of experience with combat magic."

Re: Introductions!

[notagoose]

"Shane Gooseman, Goose," Goose said, "most of my fighting experience comes from my military training but I'm also an expert shot and if you give me a blaster I'll shoot it regardless of what type,"

Re: Introductions!

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"I am Prince Alexander of Daventry," Alexander offered with a nod of his head. "My fighting experience is limited, but I have gone through a few years of training. I certainly would like to learn much more, though, as it will be incredibly useful to know how to fight, even if I much prefer to use my wits rather than my blade.

Re: Introductions!

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"I'm a good shot, and not terrible at hand-to-hand." If you were only half again her size. Instead of twice her size, as most people and things seemed to be. "I also have medical experience and I'm in the support group, so if you need a quick fix during a fight, I'll be there with my medical kit."

Re: Introductions!

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"Squall Leonhart. I'm a trained mercenary, and I can use magic."

He didn't mention how much ass he kicked. He didn't need to.

Re: Introductions!

[pyromanyac.livejournal.com]

"Charlie, I'm good at running away." Until she wasn't, at least.

"I can touch my nose with my tongue, but I won't do it, because it's gross." That was what she could do, totally.

Re: Introductions!

[littlelionlad.livejournal.com]

"I am Anduin Wrynn," he said, leaving off the "Prince" bit for now. "I've been trained in weapons since I was a child, but I'm really only at my best with a bow and arrow. I'm not one to run from a fight though, and I have some magical skills that could be useful as well." That was enough bragging for him, really.

Re: Introductions!

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"James, Squire of Krondor. I'm handy with a sword or dagger, bit less so with a bow or crossbow." Better with a certain homemade-looking crossbow.

Cally had long ago passed from irritation into amusement over the repeated introductions; besides, here, especially, they were useful, so she found herself listening carefully to what the new people had to say before it was her turn to speak.

"I'm Cally; my specialty is actually setting up or adapting communications systems, but I can fight as well. My practical experience has mostly been here--" Against flying zombie fish. She left that part out. "--but I'm a quick runner and a fairly good shot with handheld energy weapons. I haven't tried projectile weapons yet, but I imagine I could use one in a pinch." She nodded towards the petite redhead. "Like Scully, I'm also in the support group and have emergency medical training, though not at a professional level."

Talk to the Leaders!

[brat_inslayage]

When they ping in.

Re: Talk to the Leaders!

[inneedofcoffee.livejournal.com]

While looking all leaderly. Oh yeah, not a rag tag bunch of misfits with a million to one chance at victory. Which, as we all know, is actually not that bad.

And there was coffee involved. So of course Maladicta was there.

Re: Talk to the Leaders!

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy had set her cup of coffee on a nearby rock and was going through some light stretches to keep warm as she watched the group, listening to what they had to say.

But not without stopping every so often to drink the coffee. Please. Like she was letting that get cold.

Re: Talk to the Leaders!

[puppy_fair]

Zack wasn't hugging his coffee cup, per se.

It was only a near thing. He felt way more tired than he was willing to let himself look, today. But at least he was here, and as attentive as he'd ever been while people were talking.

OOC [Reserves 1/11]

[brat_inslayage]

No, really. Fashionably late.
