fandomhigh | Kappa Kappa Gremlin Meeting, After Classes, Monday [ 02/28 ].

The snacks and the pizza alike were taking on a distinctly tropical bend for the meeting today....it looked like someone was already kind of missing Hawaii a little already. But that was neither here nor there! There was a club to held. And, this week, it appeared that Alexander was starting it with the help of someone new today.

“Welcome back,” he started, “and to those of you who didn’t join the majority of us on the Kohala Coast, you were certainly missed. If you don’t really know him already, I’d like to introduce you to Warren here; he’ll be helping me with the club today.”

Neither of them really knew how that came about; it was one of those chain-of-event things where one thing lead to another, and so there they were, and it worked.

Warren offered the entire group one of his crooked, uncertain little smiles, and lifted a hand to wave hello.

“Hey, guys,” he greeted. “Like Alexander said, I’m Warren. Kind of a prodigal frat son who came back after a little bit, actually. I was a member last year, and I hope that I’ll be able to do some justice to the fraternity while I’m here.”

The money would help. Trust, at least, that the money would help a lot.

“As for what we’ll be doing today,” Alexander continued, “some of you may have heard that there’s a career fair coming up. I know it’s different everywhere, but, where I’m from, one trade can be incredibly important, as can the skills that can come along with what makes our careers when we’re older, out of high school and making men of ourselves. I thought we could talk a little bit about what our own ambitions for the future may be, and then find someone with whom to share your trade this week. Anyone at all, just to reach out and share something with someone that they might find useful.”

“And trust me,” Warren added, with a little smile as he straightened up a bit, “there’s no chosen career that’s too silly, honest. If you wanted to be a fireman growing up, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you still want to be? Even better.”

And if you wanted to be a brontosaurus growing up, Peter, then at least you had big ambitions.

All the pizzas seem to have pineapple and ham. How in the world did that happen?

Discuss your ambitions and dreams or even your desire to be a giant deceased reptile. And also think about what sorts of skills come along with that ambition that you could pass on to another person to benefit them.

Feel free to bring up any other business you may have here!

Alexander and now Warren are there for anything you may need!

You can talk to him if you want to be a Mountie when you grow up!

Speaking of dinosaurs (http://chzemokid.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/emo-scene-hipster-untitled13.jpg)....

Fraser honestly thought everyone should want to be Mounties when they became adults but he wasn't here to try and influence their decision. He was there for questions, though, should there be any!

Alexander was never much for eating a lot, but for some reason, he could just not put down the pineapple pizza! Om nom nom!

Pineapple on his pizza? Warren was so there. And grinning, just a little, as he took a few extra slices for himself. You could never have too much pineapple. It was practically law.

Since Alexander wasn't about to say that he wanted to just be alive when he grew up without things getting a little awkward, he just decided to throw out what he would be now that his future had changed.

"I have the privilege of being an heir to a throne," he said, unable to keep his proud smile down, "so I have every intention of becoming a strong and successful leader. I suppose the skills that come with that are being judicious and fair and patient, but strong when one must make tough decisions."

"I'm actually next in line to inherit my dad's pharmaceutical company," Warren shared, because that, at least, wasn't exactly a huge secret or anything. "So my background is mostly in business, in economics. I could probably make my way just fine in some sort of entrepreneurial venture, if I stumbled across something that appeals to me more than Worthington Labs."

Really, he could live without the family business. But if it fell into his lap someday, he'd cope. There would just be changes.

Peter didn't mind pineapple and ham one bit. In fact, he rather liked it. He grabbed a slice and happily nommed a bit.

Despite the narrative drive for him to do so, Peter was not going to announce he wanted to be a brontosaurus. That was many years ago, kthnx. And before science figured out the brontosaurus didn't actually exist.

"Personally, my ambition is to do a little bit of everything," Peter said, nonchalantly. "I'm not going to let myself get tied down into doing one thing, or even doing one sort of thing. When I graduate, I'm going to strike out on the road, and see where my wit and skills take me."

Goose was there and had no problem with eating pineapple and ham pizza.
