Turtle definitely had a lot of errands to run before the meeting today. A week of zombie invasion sort of threw a wrench into the whole smoothing-running of things, but it seemed pretty fitting, as that's what she was going to talk about.

First, the coffee and donuts with a little space for the presumed inevitable pie, althuogh she wouldn't have held it against Ned if he didn't exactly have the time to make one or two considering how, less than twenty-four hours ago, they were invaded by zombies.

But business waited for no event. And that's what she'd be talking about.

"Things happen," she started, "and the world keeps spinning, even if it feels like everything just needs to stop for a bit and hold on. The world of business isn't going to hold on for you. It's going to go ahead and if you can't keep up, it'll leave you behind. Some of the things for the kits came in; we'll be working on starting to put them together today."

"But, while the world of business keeps moving, there's still a certain delicate...balance to consider about timing. As in war, so in business. The right move at the right time can lead to victory; the wrong one at the wrong time, however, could be disastrous. Consider, for example, if we were to finish up the kits today and release them to the public. The timing would be terrible. We could get them out this week, easily, I think, but would it be wise? A day late, a dollar short. Not only that, but so soon would make it look like we're trying to take advantage of the recent event and turn a profit from that. People don't like that. We've probably got about three weeks safety area before we could really do much, really."

Turtle shrugged a little. "Get them out during exam week, actually, and we might not only take advantage of the exam stress, but also the support of having them out before anything happens at graduation. The trick to timing, of course, is to be able to hide the fact that you're being advantageous about when you put this stuff out."

Leto, having managed to catch up with the events of the past week, was relieved to see the others in one piece.

"Weren't you, like, a tree or something last week?" Turtle asked, her tone sounding a little bit envious.

"I was," Leto confirmed. "And I've heard I missed a zombie invasion." Not that he was envious about that, but he could have offered some help.

"Yeah." Turtle nodded, then gave a faint, wry grin. "Boy, you sure nailed the timing on that one."

"It was completely unintentional," Leto told her, not quite sure where she was heading with this. "And I'm pleased to see you survived the ordeal."

"How exactly do you go about accidentally turn--"

And then Turtle stopped herself. "Oh, it's Fandom. It doesn't have to make sense. But thanks. I'm pretty glad I survived, too."

"No, I'm beginning to see that some things here have little to do with logic. In a way, I find that... reassuring." What would it mean to be prescient here? The options would be complicated indeed, and paths difficult to follow.
