Calling Team November [Closed to ...team November, obviously.]

[asluciferfell.livejournal.com]

Team November, report to the Precinct immediately.

Javert is not particularly skilled with the omnicom,  but he's double and triple-checked the short message and is fairly sure everything is correct and clear by the usual standards, cursing the small, awkward keypad.

He stands firmly outside the Precinct, ideally easy to spot, for once not lurking in the background but allowing his height and stature to make him a clear and obvious landmark, and waits for his team to find him. He's fairly sure it won't be that difficult.

"Hi, Fearless Leader!" Wyn calls out cheerfully, waving as she approaches the Precinct. She's found it on her own, which is nothing short of a miracle, and is actually rather proud of that fact.

No, she's not going to give up calling him Fearless Leader.

Bella shows up at a trot, carrying her hatchet in her teeth as always. She's curious about this "team" thing. It seems to be like a pack. The idea of having a bunch of packs that make up a "sept" is much easier for her to process than the idea of the whole ship as one massive pack.

In fact, she's already figured out how the jobs here relate to the jobs at the sept back home, and it's helped her to feel a bit more relaxed.

"Hello Sir," she says, greeting Javert. She carries herself a little uncertainly, though her tail is down and her head level. She's not the boss here.

"Heya." Wags says, poking his head in. "Soo, any particular reason you called us here French Fry?"

Javert just nods to Bella, apparently not perturbed in the least. He'd long gotten over the concept of leading wolves and other creatures, coming to the conclusion that they would likely be more sensible than the other humans on the ship in any case.

"My name is Javert. If you must call me something ridiculous, rethink and default to my name." That snippy comment was directed to Wyn and Wags, and not to Bella.

"At this point, it is prudent for us to meet and familiarize, and at some point train. I trust that the larger amount of you are fully capable of defending yourselves, but learning to act as a cohesive group and not individuals is, at the moment, our largest priority."

"We are Garou," One-Leaf-Ear says flatly as she trots over to join the group, her ears splayed out in uncertainty. The idea of a pack with other Garou she welcomes, even if it does include Bone Gnawers. It's needing to size up the apes that's made her cautious. "We are meant to work together."

Red Snout slips up to the group with his quiet, practiced hunter's step. He sniffs, giving everyone a glare for good measure. A pecking order would have to be established soon, and he did not intend to be on the bottom.

"I have arrived." He eyes the nominal human leader. He didn't look too tough.

"Leaf does have a point. We may not be wolves in the strictest definition, but we do have the pack hunter instinct."

Then Wags noticed Red Snout entering the room.

"...and I'm gonna completely ignore that instinct in favor of completely embarrassing our resident Deinonychus for as long as we're on this ship."

Bella looks over at Red Snout, sniffing with intense curiosity. This is the thing that was beaten by the Captain earlier?

It has scales.

"Is it Wyrmish?" she asks, as if Red Snout can't speak.

"... okay, talking wolves. This is new." Wyn says slowly, giving the two wolves on her team a slightly confused look. "And I think he's a velociraptor. At least I'm assuming, because he said so on the omnicoms and no one really lies about their species."

[asluciferfell.livejournal.com]

"You work well in packs, but others may not." And yes, Javert means Wyn. He's fairly sure the Raptor's got pack mentality-- but he's concerned as to how the raptor is going to apply it.

"Everyone will learn to hold everyone on this team in equal standing, and to obey me." And that's to everyone. They need to get over who has fur, who has scales, and who is walking around two-legged and furless.

"I do not care what you are, who you are, or who you assume I am. I am your leader, and you are my team. You will work together, you will obey me, and we will be as efficient as possible or I will know why.

"I understand that for some of you, you would prefer not to work with others on this team or to listen to me. I do not care. 'Velociraptor', 'Garou', or human, we will be an efficient and strong team, and that is all I will accept."

[wolf-that-grins.livejournal.com]

"Oh, this has nothing with what species he is, deinonychus." Wags responded, saying the last word under his breath.

"I just think he's a jerk. And I work perfectly well in a pack, regardless of actually liking anyone in it. But insulting at least one person very time I decide to open my mouth is something I do. It's what every Ragabash does."

[raptorwithagun.livejournal.com]

Red Snout growls, snapping at Wags.

"I am a raptor. Raptor. Remember it, idiot." A significant glance for you, Bella.

"I am not a worm either!" Yes, Javert, he is completely ignoring you to bicker with the werewolves.

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

"I did learn how to play well with others, Fearless Leader. In primary school." Wyn points out, feeling as if that 'working together' comment was directed at her. She's starting to get a very bad feeling about being on this team...

[asluciferfell.livejournal.com]

Oh, Wyn, Javert is too.

"I did not say you could not work with others. I simply implied you had never before worked in a pack mentality."

He stares at the arguing mess of wolves and dinosaur, and attempts to figure out how to establish dominance over this mess. He's not one to raise his voice, and he doubts it will do good to prove his capabilities.

He will, however, walk between Wags and Red Snout calmly, leveling glares at both of them in turn.

"Cultural habits or no, you will both listen to me. Your ridiculous arguments do not matter at the moment, and you may resume taunting and fussing when we are not in the middle of a meeting."

Plays shows up. Late. He slinks in, trying not to be noticed. He fails when he gives a little wave and an apologetic smile, "...hey guys. Sorry I'm late."

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

"Be on time next time," says Bella to Plays, then dismissing the issue. She watches the "raptor" with some curiosity, but she's not going to push that now. The Alpha is talking!

"He is Ragabash," says Bella, flicking an ear at Wags. "It is what he does."

[raptorwithagun.livejournal.com]

Red Snout glanced at Javery. He could respect that the man was being forceful (even though a human giving him orders was somewhat laughable). And, he was the leader of this small...team. For now. So, best to show at least a facade of respect until that changed. He bows his head respectfully.

"Of course. How improper of me to bicker while there is business."
