School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Fandom High students and faculty! This week's assembly comes to you out of necessity due to the cost of construction. Our speakers today have a focus on corporate sponsorship and are here to show you the good side and bad side of such sponsorship. Now if you'll give our guests your undivided attention, we can begin!"

[OOC: Same deal as last week. General conversation threads are nice and open, reactions to our guests can go in their threads after they have pinged in, and same for Q&A. Thanks to my assembly volunteers for contributing. :)

ETA: The sprinklers were set off here and will be going until shortly after a faculty member busts those responsible. Faculty members? Nail them!]

"Who are the powers that be?" he asked, because when the bakery was run by a god, it was best to be aware.

"Not sure, but the Principal and the rest of the administration report to somebody, or more then one somebody... Like a School Board or something... This isn't a public school near as I can tell, so it could be just about anythingbody."

"That's interesting," Zuko said slowly, wondering if siad person would be easily influenced. "It's got to be someone important if they can draw students from different worlds here."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Important or powerful... Though the two often go together I suppose."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

He nodded in agreement. "And no one's seen this person?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"I believe it's several people... Or whatevers. I imagine the Principal has contact with them. Whoever they are. But if anybody has ever seen them, I've not heard of it."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Strange," he looked thoughtfully at the stage, wondering what to make of that. "I wonder who they are and why they're doing this."

"If we knew that." Pippi said, "I suspect we would understand a great deal more about the universe then we do currently."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Or at least about this school. I wouldn't be surprised if they intend to use us in a war later on," he replied.

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi never thought about that before, the school does tend to get attacked rather often...

"What makes you think that?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Why else would you draw people with fighting experience or the skills to be dangerous to fight all to one place?" he asked. "People rarely do anything without ulterior motive."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"There's lots of people here who don't fight and are perfectly normal." Pippi offered.

"Exceptions to hide the true reason behind this place," he replied, convinced that he was right about this.

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm." Pippi said not entirely convinced.

Though not entirely not convinced.

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"We'll find out," Zuko said calmly. "If I'm right, they'll eventually make a move to give their true purpose away."

"I'm still not sure. If they wanted to create an army, they wouldn't have let all the Seniors graduate last year... If I was makin' an army, I'm pretty sure I woulda figured a way to keep most of those guys around."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Unless you want to see how they fare on their own first. Test their skills so to speak," he replied.

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi couldn't argue with that.

She decided to wait until Zuko turned into a turtleduck random animal to ask him if he had a clever answer to how that prepares him to fight in a super powered army.

"Have you encountered this sort of thing before then?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly," he said with a shrug. "I just know the lengths people go to for their war."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

PippiMun is still giggling over the idea Zuko as a Turtleduck. Her coworkers might be staring, not that she cares.

"Sucky."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

PippiMun hasn't seen the latest new animal, the rabbaroo yet.

He shrugged again. "Necessary."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"Depending on what they plan on fighting, it might not be so... to deceive us I mean."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I'm certain that they believe their reasons are just," Zuko said.

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"If they think their reasons are just, wouldn't they share those reason with us from the start?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Not if they think they have a valid reason not to," he pointed out. "They usually think they do."
