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!]

"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."

"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]

"Hmmm." Pippi said not entirely convinced.

Though not entirely not convinced.

"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."

"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]

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."

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]

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

He shrugged again. "Necessary."

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

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

"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."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

Hmm, time for a subject change.

"So... Is anybody from your family coming to visit for parent's weekend?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Time for his usual beloved answer. "No."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, same here."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

As he didn't want to have Pippi ask about his family, he refrained from asking about hers. "I take it things are going to get busy that weekend?"

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not sure, I wasn't here for last year's Parent's weekend. But I suspect there'll be stuff going on."

Re: Before the Assembly [10/13]

Zuko nodded just as he noticed someone coming on stage. He blinked a few times, he's never seen anyone with hair quite like that. Well... he turned at Pippi for a second... not quite that green.

Pippi wonders if "Krusty's Sulfuric Acid" comes in grape flavor.
