1st Team Meeting
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."

...so maybe it's better for now. There's only so many dad jokes the average person can take. ]
I do try to be those things when a moment calls for it. As things stand, I'd rather not see anyone be put in a predicament where they will be harmed or they're out of their league. It's better that we work together where we can.
[ Jill is selective with using force of any kind and generally quite subtle, especially if it's using intimidation or physically having to harm someone. Moreover, she prefers to keep a card up her sleeve that she can play on a rainy day. It's never wise to give away all your tricks upfront, even if you're the "good guy". ]
I helped form it. I experienced an outbreak first hand -- the very first large scale one -- and I wanted to help people with my experience. My partner and I were uniquely qualified for it and at the time, many people weren't taking it seriously or they didn't know what was happening because so much of it was kept under wraps. It can't be fully eradicated, but it can be contained.

But I suppose you make the best with what you have. Many partial victories can lead to complete and total success over time. My grandfather said that.
[Or at least that's what the history books claim. He wasn't particularly interested in her.]
Why couldn't it be entirely eradicated? Was there no treatment?
