The Outsiders: Meeting 2

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

It was going to be their second meeting, and she already had an idea from Beastboy that he'd drummed up some interest in some the newly pod popped. So she'd been making alterations to the Outsider headquarters all day, from checking out the intercom and monitors Billy fixed (she needed Alex's help for that) to helping to set the new carpet in the lobby to preparing the pool for the training session. It was absolutely important that today grow well: she was going to tell the group she was trying to petition Leon to get them more involved in missions. Even if he said no, there were chances that they as individuals would be pulled into some dangerous situation and then all that training WOULD come in handy, wouldn't it? Either way the training would be coming in handy, as would meeting the people that would come to the second meeting. In a way, the second meeting was more important than the first: the second told you who was staying, who hadn't just popped in for the snacks and a few laughs. She still had those of course: chips and dip and a few sandwiches were already set up for people who were hungry.

As for her, all of this work had already made her really sweaty and stinky, so she was taking a dip in the pool to clean herself off, careful to only do so in the shallow part of the water reserved for small kids: once she was good and clean, she would flush that water out, and fill it with clean water again. For now, she wanted to make sure everything went perfectly. Of course, she was also nude for this, so she figured if Beastboy dropped in now, she'd have to dry off pretty quickly.

So far though: room were all clean, conference room was a-okay and the lobby was spotless. For the moment she could relax. She'd be ready in a few minutes.

Lobby meet and greet

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Well. All awkward meting aside, now is time for the important part: all of the Outsiders seeing its new potential members, getting an idea of what sort of powers (or non powers) they're working with. There are foodstuffs all set on the table, and an atmosphere of mingling between members.

Won't you introduce yourself?

[behaemmert.livejournal.com]

Vita was a bit...miffed. It looked like she was going to be one of the smallest people in the place, and she wasn't even going to be a full time member (although she was going to help them out with the training if they could use that, children or not didn't really matter much to her. She herself had already trained ten year olds, after all)! This was aggravating. She sure hoped nobody was going to pet her.

And so, the small "girl" in the red dress (+ that silly cap with the bunnies, for added effect) and the criquet-hammer waited and watched what was going on.

...No, she was supposed to introduce herself. "Err, hi. I'm Vita. I'm from the magical department, but I'm helping out here, too, as long as I'm needed." She stated, and tried a smile. Awkward.

Why did everyone have to be taller than her?

[drowpaladin.livejournal.com]

Maydril wasn't that much taller than Vita, all things considered. The armor she'd worn was probably an interesting touch, and certainly the sword (nearly as big as she) was.

She looked unusually solemn, but she let a smile cross her face, and she made a curtsey to the girl in the dress.

"I am Maydril val Mandrian. It is a pleasure to meet you. I also like your outfit." Which was true. May was fond of red.

[behaemmert.livejournal.com]

"Er, thanks. Hayate designed it for me." Vita answered, happy that someone liked Hayate's clothing design. So pleased that she didn't think the girl was mocking her with the curtsey, in fact.

"You have nice armor, too."

A fellow melee fighter, huh.

((Vita, feel free to come bother him too! ^_^))

Alex might have been around six feet- a gene he got from both his parents- but it was rare that he really seemed it. He was currently sitting in the corner, smiling a bit as he played with his rat, Alice, flipping her over and tickling her stomach, occasionally letting her pin his hand and start to groom it.

Just because he had dragged himself to the meeting because he knew that he would see Katara and possibly someone he knew he really wanted to see but couldn't figure out quite who it was here didn't mean he was particularly comfortable with the crowd. The fact that he was smiling as he kept to himself showed a marked improvement in his ability to handle large social situations though.

His smile and his blond hair was about all that could be see under his hood as he crouched near the wall. His hand was also noticeably covered in scars, but judging by the size of them, they were from play-fighting with a rat.

Rage. So much rage.

[behaemmert.livejournal.com]

That was a tall person, about as tall as Signum. Sheesh. Playing with a rat, too. She hoped the rat wasn't like the ferret, Yuuno, and thus actually a person.

"You a part of the Outsiders?" She asked, trying to mingle some. She ignored the height difference for now!

Would you consider her a generally 'good' person? Alice has a good sense of this.

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

The tall person jumped and fell backwards. He, as usual, hadn't been paying attention, and the sudden voice directed at him made his heart skip a beat. He looked up at the girl and sighed. He needed to stop expecting danger from every person.

Alice flipped herself over and looked at Alex concerned before climbing up to his shoulder. Alex pet her head and nodded, still shrinking a bit from the girl, "Y-yeah, I a-am. A-are y-you one of th-the new c-comers?"

Katara had made sure to pop over to Alex and give him a hug. She knew he was still having a little trouble with people, and thought it brave of him to come back. She didn't say it, but she wanted to really help him however she could.

"Glad to see you Alex!" she greeted. "Do you think you'll be doing any of the training today?"

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

Alex, as usual, jumped at the touch, but it wasn't quite as bad as it had been in the past. It had taken about three hours for him to work up the nerve to join them. "I-I don' k-know... I k-know Zuko seems p-pretty against other p-people's ways of teachin'. S-said he was h-happy he d-didn' haveta un-teach anythin'."

Ben had arrived, looking more awake than he had been previously since his workout in the Sensoriums. Dressed in his jacket, he milled about, making a meandering beeline for the food. Ben was always hungry anyhow and he was determined to get a bite at least before someone intercepted him.

Re: Lobby meet and greet

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara grinned when she saw Ben beeline to the food. It was funny in a dorky way, and she was fairly fond of Ben, especially knowing Nura was like his mother.

"Good to see you Ben!" She said. "What have you been up to?"

Re: Lobby meet and greet

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

"This and that," replied Ben as he picked up some food and munched on it. "I've been looking after my kid and mom."

"And trying not to flip out and scream." added Ben.

Hikari blinked, looking around as she and Tailmon entered. She had heard about this, but hadn't joined in the last time. She was too busy practicing with her powers on her own, but she really needed to at least come out and talk to some other people.

Tailmon shook her head. "So, you think we're going to fit in here?"

Hikari nodded. "Shouldn't be all that bad, really..."

[starbolts]

Oh, a girl and her partner! Color Starfire intrigued. The alien girl made her way over to the pair, bursting with welcoming energy.

"Hello new teammates! I welcome you to the Outsiders. Are you well?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari smiled. "Yeah, I'm doing okay. And thanks. How are you?"

Tailmon just stretched for the moment. "I'm doing okay myself."

Peter was sitting on the wall, sipping from a mug of coffee, watching everyone else file in. If anyone actually asked who we was, he'd gladly introduce himself, but just blurting one out wasn't really his style unless he was channeling Spidey.

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Peter soon has company, in the form of a shy troll who parks himself against the wall nearby. He's never been one for mingling, but he told Katara he'd show and didn't want to disappoint. He glances at Peter and nods to him.

"Uh, hey."

[livingontheweb.livejournal.com]

"Hey yourself." replied Peter with a lazy salute.

"Name's Peter Parker. You?"

[starbolts]

It's slightly difficult to introduce yourself when you are obscured by the lugging of a giant object.

A large green crystal flame, easily four times the size of an average human, is floating into the lobby on its own. How it got inside the building is a hazardous tale involving many obscure windows and difficult hallway descents.

But it was there now, finally lowered to the ground by an exhausted but happy Starfire.

"Friends, I bring you a gift for our lobby."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara sees Starfire (how could she miss her?) carrying what looked like a green crystal fire into the building. She isn't quite sure what to say but she's sure this is a sign of respect where she's from, so Katara eyed the flame carefully.

"What is this, Starfire?" She asked, quietly awed by the gesture.

[starbolts]

Starfire flicked at her brow with a tiny smile, gliding over to greet Katara.

"It is a simple gift, one that I hope will bring peace and happiness to our group. The powers of my people are fueled by emotions, so our light carries these emotions---righteousness, fury, confidence, strong will. I believe it will bring us luck to share a light fueled by hope."

And here comes one more: a girl that much much bigger than Vita, who was sure she looked out of place with the hair, the jacket, the shirt...everything. Not that her mode of dress was making her feel awkward. No, there was a bunch of people, and that was more than enough. She knew a few of these guys, but not enough to just strike up a conversation.

So she's by herself at the moment, taking a sandwitch and nibbling idly.

"Cool hair!" Beastboy appeared on the other side of the table refilling the punch bowl like a good host, "I had a friend with hair like that back home!" He remarked with a wink.

Laurie had wanted to look nice for the meeting. She'd brushed back her hair and wore a flower headband that she'd gotten on shore leave. Put together with a green skirt and yellow top and flip-flops, she looks the most relaxed she's been since she first woke upon Stacy in the pod caverns.

She looks around, with Spot close by her heels, ready to socialize.

When he spotted Laurie with her dog, Fletcher immediately wondered if he should have brought Jujube after all instead of leaving him with Nanashi. When Katara had said "training", his mind had gone to all sorts of dangerous places, places that puppies didn't belong.

He approached the girl and dog, smiling. "Um, hi."
