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.

"It's good to see all of you here," Katara began. "I know that when you ask for a first meeting a lot of people come, but you really start to learn who;s staying by the second meeting. Still, I won't say that for certain: I know there are people who probably couldn't make it.

"For you new people, please take a look around: you'll notice that others here are varied, although most of us have the similarity of being younger than the people on the ship. I don't know if the adults do it because they're afraid of us getting hurt, or because they simply think we're too much trouble. That was part of the reason we formed in the first place: we wanted to be the opposite of that idea, of kids and teenagers doing their own thing and avoiding things like responsibility and accountability. We like any adult on the ship, have to answer to each other and our own actions. More importantly, I want us to send a clear message: The Outsiders are a family, and we look out for each other. We're all from different parts of the universe, yet our goals are the same: stopping the Ohm and promoting awareness about the lack of harmony on the ship. Together, we can help be a formidable force: apart, we'll fall. Some of us who've been here a long time can attest to that."

She looked over to Beastboy. They talked about this enough that she knew he could deliver the other part of their speech: the training, the distinction between fighting members and non-fighting members of the Outsiders, and what activities they'd do when they weren't fighting.

"She's all yours, Beastboy," she said quietly to him.

Beastboy grinned cheerfully, "So what we wanna do is come together as a group. Support one another, work together to hone our skills. It's like the old saying, "No matter who you are there's always someone better." He winked, "So we just wanna make sure when you meet that person you're ready."

He took another step forward, "We can offer training in combat if you want to learn how or if you know how and just need practice, or for those of you who are less combat friendly we can hook you up with people who can help hone whatever your skill of choice is!"

Another pause and then a joke, "And if you have no skill well that's alright we'll keep you around anyway! We don't discriminate!"

"When we aren't training we're relaxing, hanging out, having parties, movie night, playing games. The hotel would be your home away from home. It's alot more comfortable then some of the places on board that's for sure!"

"Any questions?"
