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."

"Then we all got here somehow from different worlds."

Which is possible where he's from. Maybe not to an extent like this, but he'd only just learned about demons and other realms himself. He probably didn't know everything they'd kept hidden.

"Think it's... what's it called... temporal something, like portals and shit. That they have something to breach barriers in... space time?"

This is beyond him to explain succinctly, but he had portals, and he knows Elizabeth did too.

"Magic...Science, could even just be dumb luck I guess."

The dumbest of luck. Absolutely the most ignorant of luck.

"Elizabeth said something like that. And my dad used to talk about stuff like that, heroes who came from other worlds. I always wanted to meet someone like that but now...well it doesn't feel how I'd expected."

[cicadashell]

"She told me about her portals too, and that they brought people and things from different universes. I never thought about that stuff, other worlds. Even after I found out about demons, I didn't think about the portals going anywhere but their realm."

He wasn't the type of kid who fantasized about grand adventures and magic; he just liked to climb trees and hang out in the woods with the local wildlife.

[justoutrunyou]

"I guess it's not for everyone." Sandy had always wanted to see more and the idea of portals appealed to her, especially after being stuck down in this vault for so long.

"Have you ever met any nice demons? Or are they all the kind that would ya know...eat us or whatever?"

[cicadashell]

"Well, yeah. They're just like humans. Some of them suck and some of them don't."

He shrugs. He liked Rago, and there were a couple others on their 'side'.

"Some of them took human or animal forms to blend in, to be part of the world with us. That's why I didn't know about them. I could have met demons before and had no idea."

[justoutrunyou]

"Oh good. So for all we know anyone in the Vault could be a demon like that." Sandy couldn't help but grin "Well at least if they are they seem to be cool demons. Not the kind that wanna ruin out day."

However maybe demons like that were the ones that created the vault. Sandy wondered about that for a minute or two.

"I think if I were a demon and had to pick human or animal form I might go human. Being an animal sounds really fun and stuff but like...you can't get into the movies if you're a dog or something. And most animals can't eat chocolate right? But it's one of the best foods ever."

[cicadashell]

"I was, technically, a demon. Because we merged. Maybe I still am. The possession seals are still there..."

Demon things are just dormant somehow; that's his going theory.

"Animals sound more fun to me. Like a bird."

Crows did whatever the fuck they wanted. Birds are assholes. They're his kin.

[justoutrunyou]

"Seals? Like...tattoos or something? Scars?" If he still had demon power lurking inside him somewhere that could be totally cool...or horrific. Or both.

"That could be true. Who wouldn't wanna fly? But I dunno how I'd feel about only eating bugs and berries you know? And pooping while flying seems gross."

[cicadashell]

"Like tattoos."

He unzips his jumpsuit to show her. There's a large black sun symbol on his chest, and a large scar in the middle of it.

"One on my back too. I figure they'd go away if the demon aura was gone, right?"

He can't help but laugh at the 'pooping while flying'.

"Gross, but you could target attacks on people. Like Chocolat."

[justoutrunyou]

Sandy's eyes widened and she blushed but didn't look away.

"Dude...that's badass." He really was some kind of anti-hero wasn't he? Now she was picturing him impaled and it made her squeamish but otherwise? Bad ass.

Then he had to ruin it by saying he'd poop on Chocolat "Gross!! She would totally roast you alive and eat you if any bird tried that on her."

[cicadashell]

"Hey, it was your idea."

It wasn't, but she brought up the subject, and so it's her own fault for the imagery.
