Where we Stand (The Outsider's training Post)

[I wanna bendy time this to two days after the announcement, so it won't seem too random.]

She felt guilty that she had taken this long. They had met several weeks ago, and she had made a promise to get to training as soon as she could. Sadly, things came up that had forced her to take some time for herself: she was in a better place now, and it was time to get back to business. uh

When it came down to it, the marriage planet had been good for couples, but her interest was with what happened with the people who hadn't participated. Once again, there was an attack,and when it happened, despite them being strong, capable people, it regressed to arguments and pointless infighting, and this was a problem. Then of course there was the idea of how to compliment one fighting style and another. After thought, the best thing to do seemed to have all the guys come here, show what they could do, and start organizing training that way, get some input, trade different information, relay tactics. It would be unorganized for this meeting alone, but afterward they could start and tailor the training to their strengths, add in situations that played on their weaker points for good measure.

This would be a good way to get other people talking, really start to learn about how they fought and where they came from. The Sensorium would be blank for now: she figured Beastboy should be the one to add a little flair to their surroundings.

She did have to compose herself a little though: she hadn't been happy to hear Tavros was gone. He had been a nice person, and he was Alex's roommate.

And there was Beastboy, energetic as ever and raring to go. The marriage planet for him had been fun and interesting and raised more then a few questions about his favorite mad scientist girl with an afro.

But for now he was focused on helping anyone who wanted to train and get stronger.

It was a shame that Katara hadn't been there: she definitely would have liked to know what Beastboy had been up to. As it was, she hadn't seen him in a little while, so the moment he popped in, she walked over and gave him a hug.

"Hi Beastboy!" She said. "What have you been up to?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy grinned, blushed and hugged back, "Same old same old. Making a nuisance of myself." He wiggled his ears with a roguish smirk. "And you?"

[thewunderkind]

And there came in Lash, barging in. As much as barging in as this place would allow.

"I HEARD THE WORDS TRAINING!" (She had read the words training, you see, but don't tell her that. She's a very delicate and special woman). Doing a quick few mock karate chops she looked around excitedly at the assembled crowd.

"Oh wow I don't know her. I know her. I remember him. Oh man he's there." They had names. She just forgot most of them. "Training! Training! It's going to be so much fun, tee hee hee!"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Why was she not surprised that Lash would drop in, in exactly the way that she had now?

"Hi Lash, good to see you again! There are names by the door, in case you wanted to see the names of the people here! But yes, we are going to start training in a ew minutes. I was hoping people could get settle in for the moment, get to introduce themselves to each other before we got started with the session. I have to wait for one more person for it to start anyway!"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy laughed watching the entrance, "Lash!" He called waving her over, "Did you get into some marshmellow peeps or somethin'?"

Actually...that sounded really good. Now he wanted some.

Nura arrived in her training best: a pair of capri pants, blue cami top, with her white hair back and styled for exercise and endurance. Today, she wore her hair back, with two braids on the side to make a braided-crown. She'd seen the look once or twice and Katara, and had liked it enough to try it for herself. Never mind the fact that her ponytail had started to add to the migraines, and after her encounter with Supergirl, they'd been getting a touch worse.

Coming up from behind on Katara, Nura smirked at the easy scare, as she took a running start and wrapped her arms around Katara's middle, saying loudly, "How is my favorite waterbender!"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Whoa!" Katara exclaimed, squealing a moment, then laughing. "Hi Nura! I haven't seen you for a few days. Wow, you look fantastic! I love what you're wearing!"

She actually was mimicking her hairstyle! It not only looked really good on her, the other clothes were a breath of fresh air from the usual plant suits they all wore. Katara had always really liked the ensemble Nura put on.

And it looked as if it were rubbing off a little: Katara was in her water tribe clothing, necklace and all, but with an added accessory. Atop her head she had a pair of goggles.

She had enjoyed Scott Pilgrim, and though Ramona's style was nifty.

Ronnae had promised she'd be there. She wouldn't necessarily train, she was still a bit shaken from a few nights prior to this. But she never went back on her promise. She showed up in her usual get up. Her red Horde hoodie, and long black cargo pants. Her hood was up and she tried her best to stay out of the way of people who came to work.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Sorry Ronnae, that's not going to work when the co-captain of the Outsiders is overjoyed to see you. She walked over and gave Ronnae a broad smile, giving her a small hug.

"Hey Ronnae! How are you?"

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Hit Girl of course recognized her shy friend from the marriage planet thing. She could see her trying to blend in, and figured she would at least like a greeting from someone who did that as a matter of course.

"Hey, Ronnae," she said. "Nice hoodie, and I'm digging the pants."

[livingontheweb.livejournal.com]

"Soo, what's the plan?" Peter, clad in his spandex suit, asked.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Business as usual webhead!" Beastboy seemed to appear out of no where. "We mingle, we chat, we catch up, and then we smack each other around or duel with the digital targets!" He explained with a cheerful grin.

Starfire was next to arrive, setting aside a small backpack when she entered the Sensorium. What was inside? Well, they'd find out soon enough!

"I apologize for my tardiness," she said in a rush, swooping down on unsuspecting victims and offering hugs. "I was preparing your gifts for today and failed to watch the time as closely as I should have."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara would be one of the first to be swooped down and hugged. She was a little surprised but not bothered. She laughed, then was brought back down.

"Hey Starfire!" She said. "I haven't see you since that craziness outside the city on that planet! How have you been?"

Jamie looked subdued as always when he arrived, nodding silently to the others present as he entered. He positioned himself by a wall, arms crossed over his chest as he waited for the proceedings to get underway.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara had seen Jamie before, so she knew that he was likely not to be including himself out in the open, but would be there, he said so on the Com. When she saw him by the wall, she went to see him accordingly.

"Hi Jamie!" She greeted. "How have you been?"

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

While there was still a lot that Hit Girl was curious about when it came to the team, she had decided to pop in nonetheless. After being bored for a little while, training wasn't somethings she was going to turn her nose at.

She popped in, taking a look at a few of the people, feeling fairly comfortable when it came to the Sensorium.

Pre-Training

[Right before Overlord Zetta arrives.]

Katara got up with Beastboy, clearing her throat.

"Ok, this is going to be fairly simple: to see how we work as a team and individually, Overlord Zetta is going to run a simulation for an objective we have to make. We're hoping to use what happens here as a framework for the next time we attempt to do this kind of training exercise. I know I usually make a big speech and all, but this time we'll save that for after, and then, when we're all done, why don't we see how we want to unwind afterward?"

She could plan a whole itinerary for the next meeting: this one was for fun and for gathering information.

BEHOLD THE GLORY OF YOUR OVERLORD TRAINER

[badassfreakingoverlord]

In a sudden instant, massive stone walls rumbled out of the ground to tower in impregnable glory some hundred feet above ground level. A crash of horns and electric guitars howled out accompaniment to a rising pillar of light from within the castle walls, as spotlights shone out of nowhere onto the tome grinning smugly down at them from atop the crenellated walls.

"Outsiders!" the Overlord bellowed, his voice amplified by the chamber. "Cower in AWE before the training of the Overlord!! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Why did I even think that wasn't going to happen?"

Well, if anything, Overlord Zetta had presentation. No one could deny that.

"You heard him guys! Let's go!"

[thewunderkind]

"Nice try, but I've seen worse," Lash snickered, somewhat impressed but not about to let the Overlord get a taste of that. "Needs a bit more explosions. Or a laser show. The electric guitars were a nice touch, I guess...for a talking book."

"Guyver!" Sho shouts on instinct and he bio-boosts into his armor.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Nura arched a brow. "Cower in awe? What is this? Bad sci-fi movie quotes day?" Sprock she really missed Lyle and M'rissey's geekatude.

Sho was the last to arrive. He almost missed the announcement entirely, but nevertheless, he made it. Sho smiled and nodded to his friends and teammates in greeting before finding a nice spot for himself.
