Reserves Meeting, Danger Shop, Thursday Afternoon (After Classes)

The members of the Reserves had been handwavily notified to meet in the Danger Shop for today's meeting. Regretfully, this did mean no food or drinks for yet another week, but there was a lot of fancy and expensive equipment in the room and none of the leaders really felt comfortable with the possibility of paying for it if someone accidentally spilled.

Or, worse yet, if something Karla baked touched the machinery. Sparks and melting, people. Sparks and melting.

"Kiss kiss," Karla said, as everyone assembled in the hallway. "Today we're undertaking an exercise that will have all of us working together. If you'll follow us inside?" She opened the doors to the Danger Shop and everyone stepped into...

...yet another hallway. This one should be familiar to most of the students; it was the hallway that led to the library; the library doors stood open and welcoming--though it was possible for the sharp-eyed to notice they looked...flimsier...than usual.

"Sometimes, things can go wrong at this school," Dolf continued. "And it isn't so quickly solved with just one way of looking at things. Some things you have to beat up, some things you have to outsmart. Most of us know what we are good at by now, don't we?"

He smiled encouragingly at those gathered. Well. Sort of encouragingly. He was a little nervous, if you knew where to look.

"Not to say that it's necessarily exclusive by person," Wesley added, as a member of the camp that did both. (Though his credibility was hurt somewhat by how beat-up he looked. Oops.) "You're welcome to try any number of strategies."

"The important thing to keep in mind is teamwork," Karla said. "Working together and making sure--"

Whatever else Karla was going to say was rudely interrupted by three of the doors at the far end of the hallway slamming open--hard enough to embed their knobs into the walls. Out of each door walked a giant, man-shaped creature made of what looked like hardened clay. Seeing the clustered students, the creatures turned towards them and slowly ambled forwards, each footstep ending in hairline cracks in the floor.

Good luck, guys.

[OCD up, please read Important notes! Of course, everything there is OOC knowledge that needs to be figured out ICly. So feel free to whale on these guys for awhile, okay?]

Wesley was off to the side, watching. He felt a bit bad about the fact that there were only, oh, what... two or three people here for martial reserves, if that? So he would probably try to help out at some point.

Ill-advised as it was.

For some odd reason, Raven had a bad feeling about this.

The creatures weren't alive, so Raven couldn't affect them with her gifts. She could, at least, keep out of the way and watch for people who might be injured and in need of healing.

Well, to be fair, he should have expected the fussing. This was Karla, after all.

"Oh, I just, er. Went to Los Angeles for a few days," he said, his tone as casual as that of someone talking about a fun vacation. "Really, it's nothing to trouble yourself with."

...yeaaaah, that hadn't worked on Katniss either.

Kenzi had heard Radio. Kenzi had been peeved that Wes hadn't returned messages before, but now...

Tracking down Reserves had taken a bit of effort, but now she was here. Pointing at him. "What? What? What is this!"

WHY WAS HE BEING BOMBARDED WITH K-GIRLS?

"Er." Pause. "Golem invasion?"

Wesley. Really, now.

"Bullshit," left Kenzi's lips so fast it was nearly unintelligible. "You came back injured from L.A. What happened? You didn't return my calls! That's not you! You are Responsible Man!"

Huh. Charging his phone would've been a good idea. Three days ago.

"Is everything all right?" he asked in concern, demonstrating some truly supreme cluelessness.
