Informal Meeting of The Outsider's is a go

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Normally, Kaya would have spent the whole day at the hotel, preparing for the meeting: cleaning, making sure the pool was at the right temperature, making sure all the food was ready. However, there were a few people missing, notable Overlord Zetta, Lash, Hit Girl and a few others, so she wanted to have this less formal one on the bus, particularly since they had the classrooms at their disposal.

This didn't mean, of course, that Kaya was going to NOT prepare things as usual. There was a tray of several different snacks available for those who attended, as well as a projector set up in Tarnee's room set up by Beastboy since Kaya still hadn't quite gotten the hang of the modern technology possible to make movies.

In the meantime she still had the common area spruced up and sparkling, and was greeting people at the door.

[[Having this set up so people can drop by: the bulk of the meeting and introduction will be out up later this evening!]]

Meet up!

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Kaya and Beastboy are really glad you can make it! So feel free to mingle, have something to eat, and ask your hosts anything about the bus!

He'd warned her that if she kept providing food, she wouldn't be able to get rid of him. Well... that hadn't been literally true, he hadn't exactly spent every waking moment at the bus -- but he certainly was here now, cheerfully raiding the snack trays.

Ronnae passed by of course. She had been part of the Outsiders for quite some time and she always enjoyed helping new recruits and the team. So she'd just wait on one of the couches in case anyone needs anything. The timid girl wore one of her usual hoodies, a skirt and boots.

A hoodie! That at least marks Ronnae as someone who might be somewhat hip. Unlike everyone he's run into so far, including the guy who insisted he be coherent on the comm systems.

"Yo, shawty, what's chilling?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

At the odd greeting Ronnae tilted her head slightly, looking at him curiously. She guessed she didn't mind considering she was pretty short...

"Oh, ummm h-hello." She replied timidly and standing up to give a short bow.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

...She's bowing? What the heck are with all these people.

"What's your handle?"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Ronnae blinked in confusion, "My... my handle?" she asked.

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

"Your name," he clarifies.

"How much room does this thing have?"

Having never been inside the bus before, Jamie was taken aback by just how spacious it was, looking around with obvious, if muted, astonishment.

"Well, it is magic!" Kaya said. "There are even other dorms where people live, actually. I know Negi and Devlin and Asuna live here."

She gave him a polite bow. "Good to see you here again, Jamie!"

Re: Meet up!

[riseupnchargem.livejournal.com]

Jamie had to look mildly impressed at that. For all that technology had accomplished on his world, he was learning that magic was capable of equally amazing feats.

He nodded and offered a tight, formal smile at her greeting. "Thanks. What'd you have planned for tonight's meeting?" Down to business, as always.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" she blushes a little, not having known what it meant.

She bowed low, the ponytails that poked out the front of her hood almost touching the floor due to their length before standing again. "I'm Ronnae, Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos. A pleasure to meet you.. ummm." she paused, not wanting to seem rude.

"What's yours? H-handle I mean."

"I'm still trying to work that out," Kaya laughed, "Well, not really. I just know it won't be as official as usual: we're missing a few people, and I know Beastboy wants to get people to relax and have fun."

She grinned. "But if some people want to do some sparring: Will's room is available too."

Re: Meet up!

[riseupnchargem.livejournal.com]

Jamie nodded. "I'm sure I could use some practice. I've been running mazes since that de-aging thing was going on, so I know I've missed out on a lot of training."

"Dude, quit speaking in tongues." Peter said, hanging upside-down from the ceiling from a webline.

Re: Meet up!

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Then that's fine," Kaya said, grinning a little. "I've had some pretty intense sessions with Chase, just so I could make sure I didn't lose my edge. I was pretty sure that there would be some of you guys that were willing to put in your strength in training."

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

"You, uh, don't gotta bow to me, shawty. Ronnae."

He offers his free hand to shake. "They call my Punchy." That sounds dramatic enough, right?

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

"Dawg, don't be getting up in my grill," Punchy says, making a rude gesture with his hand that is obscured by the nun handpuppet he wears. He's heard that enough time before. From like, everyone.

Who cares if it's with good reason?

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

"Punchy? Are you a fighter perhaps?" Honest question, people in her world had family surnames based on their trade or clan or what they were good at, so punchy sounded like a fighters name.

"Dog? Do I look like a canine-themed superhero to you? Because if I do, you need to get your eyes checked.?" Peter snarked.

"Seriously though, relax. I give everyone crap."

Alex tugged at Kaya's sleeve. "Is there any ginger ale? I'm not supposed to ask Ifrit for ginger ale anymore."

Re: Meet up!

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Kaya looked down and immediately had to suppress the urge the coo and hug the little boy. He must have been the one that had contacted her from earlier.

"Sure, there's some right over there....well, as near to ginger ale as it can get. Who's Ifrit though, and why can't you ask ginger ale from him?"

Opening

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Now that everyone was here (as many that would be anyway) Kaya cleared her throat.

"I'd like to welcome all of you guys here to The Outsiders Some of you know me and Beastboy already, but for you who don't: Beastboy and I are the leaders of this team, The Outsiders. We were started a little while ago, after a mission, when we were determined that the kids of the ship have a group of their own that included them. Since then, there have been much improvement in the relations between the younger and older people on the ship. But this team also functions in another way: it was our hope it could be a place for you guys to hang out, to help one another, to be a family I know we won't really be able to do that on actual missions: the leaders of those usually decide who's best suited for whatever task is at hand.

"But what we CAN do is help prepare you for those missions, and get familiar enough with each other's powers, and maybe even make you a little better That's been my aim since coming onto the ship, and I know we can help make it one of yours too. Now, since we're make this an informal one, not in our usual headquarters, I figure we can start with a vote: Beastboy has some fun stuff planned, and I want to get some training going on. This bus has some really good classes for that. So here's the vote: you guys want to train, then have fun, the reverse, or just do both? It's up to you."

"Hey, you think you can kill it, but it ain't nothing I haven't heard before from other bizzos. It gets old," Punchy says. "I am relaxed."

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

"A superhero, yeah. You?" And hopefully, his name is obvious enough as to what he can do. And maybe she's the hot alien chick of the team! Every team has that, right?

...Is she even an alien?
