1st Team Meeting

[makeadragonwannaretire]

WHO: Azula and any vault dwellers who show up.
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Three hours after her annoucement.
WHAT: Azula's "War Council" to disseminate information and introductions...also snacks.
WARNINGS: Possible discussions of violence and/or dark backstories.

Azula had attended a number of war meetings growing up as well as social affairs for meeting with important members of the public or military. This was different for a number of reasons, the largest being that this was a place no one seemed to have any respect for her title.

But she could handle that. It had taken her half a month to come to terms with it but here the title "Princess" was only as important as she made it.

Unfortunately that meant having to play "Nice" having to bite her tongue and not get frustrated when she wasn't catered to. That would have been harder for her two years ago, and impossible a year ago.

But here we were, with her waiting patiently near the entrance to the Rec Room to greet people as they came in. Oh how far she'd fallen.

"Come in, help yourself to some snacks. We'll get started soon."

Jill is curious about her, naturally, but she doesn't interrupt and is polite enough to wait until the younger woman finishes speaking.

"I don't mind volunteering to help you learn more about some of the technology, but anything intensive like hacking would take a long time to learn -- especially since the terminals all seem pretty keen on keeping me out."

She was used to stumbling through it if it all boiled down to the worst of it. But she's never quite been that lucky, she supposes. While the personal information is curious and interesting, it's nothing she thinks can be utilized immediately.

"I wouldn't say that a mind can beat a well-placed roundhouse. In my line of work I deal with people who play the superior mind game all the time. It's important to have your wits about you, but in a fight you can't necessarily outwit someone -- or something -- into rolling over dead." The rules of this place were pretty black and white. It seemed that way to Jill, anyway, and while brains would certainly help, they weren't going to be safe on the front lines. "If you're better with tactics, it might be a good idea to gather before any excursion and have you work with the planning, however."

Azula had been concerned that this one might be more aggressive, but she came off as reasonable, if not a little stiff. Not unlike many military types she'd met back home.

"I would appreciate any assistance I could get. Some people make for better teachers then others." She nodded her head in the direction of Jiro. "While he was helpful for figuring out the basics of the Food Processor I can't be sure he wasn't just making it up as he went along."

As for the combat part she actually smiled honestly, a rare thing for her.

"And as satisfying as it is to out think my enemies I will admit there's a feeling of satisfaction in landing a perfectly executed blow that puts them down isn't there?"

She didn't mind the idea of them turning to her for tactics and she nodded at Jill's suggestion, "I'll do my best of course. This is far from a traditional war or battle but there's plenty to be gained from planning ahead."

Jill can be pretty aggressive, but she doesn't see a reason to push toward that sort of attitude for the moment. Although she is able to be softer or more friendly, at this moment she feels using her experience in her authoritative occupation is best to rely on. It's serious, after all.

"I'm decent in regard to combat training, but I can't promise I'll be the best with tech. I could work on teaching you the map system better first. Typing, though, is something you have to get used to yourself through experience." The map system is the most important, she thinks. Reading the topography style isn't always easy, even though it shows their locations at all times. That, alone, does bother her. Who else has access to their locations? She suspects someone must. "Some tech is different than others, obviously. It's like fighting styles. Everyone makes it their own."

So it's pretty clear that Jill gets it. At least in terms of fighting.

"Ha, well, you're not wrong there. But it's best to play to one's strengths. I think there's value in all skills and it'll be better if we play to each individual's abilities." Jill could plan on the fly, but actually sitting down and pre-planning wasn't her greatest skill. "Well, your wit is strong. So something non-traditional might suit you better."
