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 can't say she loves it, but it's a smart thing to do in this situation. Maybe everyone will be on the same page and be able to offer some tidbit of information they weren't previously aware of this way? Maybe it wouldn't do anything useful? It could go in any direction.

"You sound really happy to be here." She was going to cheerfully say 'hello, Jiro!' at the start, but she gets it. She's never been fond of meetings back home since they often involved semantics. While she could work with a group, she definitely preferred a partnership for a reason.

"2017, though... it was 2009 for me. Not sure if it even means anything considering how different some of the places we've come from can be, though."

"You're right, it doesn't mean much at all. I don't see what having this information is good for."

They have a list of years and what, general descriptions of alternate universes? It's not going to help them get out of the vault.

"We might find a clue about why we're here. Specifically us. Not our friends or family or anyone else from our worlds. We might have some little detail in common we're overlooking and year, location, languages... they're the most basic, you know?"

The most simple things to start off with without getting too personal. There are a million different possible qualifiers and then some. It could be food, childhood memories, violence... something small, but it's a start.

"I think it can also help us understand one another and what we might not get about this place -- and what we might be able to -- better. You and I are from places that have technology, right? We know that much. It means we're at least familiar." His introduction made it pretty clear he wouldn't be too much help in that area, but he's likely more adept than someone who has never seen a PC or television before. "It's a start. The problem is figuring out where to carry on when there's infinite possibilities. Maybe if we each posed a question that comes to us to the group, even if it seems trivial, it might help."

"There isn't much lining up so far, and I don't know what other information we can go on. What's next, a bunch of survey questions?"

He's more frustrated with the lack of any obvious parallels. He and Saya are both from Japan in 2017, but he didn't have zombies.

"Yeah, we all have different things we can help with, but besides technology and things like that, we don't even know what's relevant to bring up, or ask."

He can't think of any questions at the moment.
