Young Entrepreneurs Club; Thursday 2pm -- 10/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

It was the first meeting of the Young Entrepreneurs Club and, even with everything buzzing in Turtle's head for homecoming, she was ready to go and very excited and even a little bit nervous, although things like this should be old hat for her. She waited until everyone came into the classroom before greeting them.

"Hello! Thank you all for joining Young Entrepreneurs! Hopefully, we'll have a very good semester and make a little money, because that's what entrepreneuring is all about! Today, we're going to introduce ourselves by way of one of the most important items an entrepreneur can have: a business card. If you already have a business card, great! If you don't, there's some sturdy paper, pen, and markers, and you can make a makeshift one, with your name, what sort of business you're really interested in, or anything else you'd like to include. Mine has a little Turtle & Canary emblem in the corner, see? So let's take a few minutes to do that and then we'll just chat and stuff today!

"For next week, I'd like you all to think of lots of great ideas on what we can produce this semester to sell for the benefit of the club, okay?"

Ned grabbed a card and a green marker. He didn't quite know what to write besides him name and the one thing he was really good at.

So, he went with that.

NED.

I make pie.

And that was about it.

Business card...hrm...Well, he was now the executive of Jack Burton Enterprises Limited (he could think of a better name later).

Jack Burton
Transportation
I deliver!

Yeah. That looks nice.

A proper business card should probably have fewer doodles and scribbles on it ...

Dor frowned. He didn't exactly have a business and he didn't like to advertise his title at school.

So he just put down "Dor of Xanth" on his card to keep it simple.

Plus this way he wouldn't have to spell anything difficult.

Dick had Wayne Foundation business cards, of course, and one that he made in Petrelli's workshop at the beginning of the summer. But, really, could you ever have enough business cards? Probably not!

Dick's card was simple enough:

Richard J. Grayson
Philanthropist-in-Training
& Acrobat

There might be certain circumstances where both would come in handy.

Liz wasn't really sure what to put on her card, so she just decided to make it a BPRD one, even though she technically wasn't yet an official member.

Liz Sherman
Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense

Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

So, who are you? Show off your card and how it shows off who you are.

"I'm Ned," he said and held up his oh so creative business card. He needed to learn to draw ASAP. "And I...bake. A lot. I have a dog too. His name's Digby. But the card's pretty simple and that's about how I am."

Re: Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

Turtle bounced a little at Ned's introduction. "Yay! Hi, Ned! I'm really happy to see you in the club!" And it was pretty clear, too, by her beaming smile, although she was pretty excited over-all. This just added to it.

"Excuse me," Alice said cheerfully. "Did you happen to bring any pie with you?"

It was a valid question, and she hadn't had dessert at lunch.

Turtle held out her very professional business card, simple with accents of green and that nice little logo. "I'm T.R. Wexler, and I'm the president of this club. Many of you probably already know me not only as the proprietor of Turtle & Canary, but also from my work in radio and student council, among many other things. I'm very excited for our club, and I"m positive that we will have a great time!"

Jack was peering at his card. It looked a bit...amateur. "I'm Jack. And I deliver."

Maybe a doodle of a semi would look nice?

Re: Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Jack." Turtle gave him a smile and a wave. "Good to see you decided to join us. That's an excellent slogan, too, with the double meaning and everything."

"My name is Alice Liddell," Alice said, standing. "I have never entrepreneured before. Is that word one that can be used as a verb? For my business card (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/alice/buscard.jpg), I wrote my name and several of my finer qualities, and then I filled in most of the white space with drawings and doodles."

Just like they did in the Fortune 500, really.

Re: Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

Turtle's head tilted slightly. She did rather like the doodles; the last note was a little curious, but she had to be professional with her opinion.

"I like the doodles," she admitted, "but I think it would be a stronger card without them. But it's very nice to have you here, Alice, even if you've never entrepreneured before."

Clearly, Turtle thought the word usage was a-okay.

"Hi! I'm Dor," he said with a wave. "I don't have a business really but part of the reason I'm here is to help trade start with my world and yours so I thought this would be a good way to learn how businesses work."

Re: Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

"I'm Liz Sherman," Liz said, showing her card, "um...my business card isn't really anything amazing,"

Re: Introductions and Chit-Chat -- 10/09.

"I'm Dick Grayson. I kept my card simple this time, but I figure the acrobat part gives it more than enough color for it to stand out," Dick said.

Talk to the Adviser -- 10/09.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Just like last time, Deadpool's keeping an eye on the future owners of the world, Lord help us all.

There was nothing to fear! He was a Vice Principal now.

And pondering getting the club those clacky ball things that were always on desks. Maybe soothing fountains too...

OOC -- 10/09.

Fairly uninspired first meeting, but they're first meetings! They're allowed to be!
