Group Log : Q&A Session 001

Characters: Any/all
Location: The Meeting Hall
Date/Time: Sunday afternoon
Summary: Q&A with a Ranger. All Rangers and staff welcome to answer Q&A. All cadets are invited to the session, but attendance is not mandatory.
Additional Notes: Start your own threads, jack some of mine, go nuts. This is just another mingle post but it's also meant to be informative ICly. Other staff and Rangers showing up for interactions with the cadets is wholeheartedly encouraged.


The meeting hall, like every other area of the Shatterdome, has the feel of an industrial environment. The walls are lined with bleachers on three sides, while the forth side has a platform and podium. In the middle are rows of chairs, desks, and tables. It's clear that a large audience can be accommodated by the room when there's need, though the group that gathers there today isn't nearly enough to fill it.

Cadets will be directed to sit at some of the tables closer to the podium when they arrive, and given scratch paper to take notes on. Staff will be directed to the large table on the podium, which has a row of conference microphones, lamps, and water pitchers already set up. Everything is neat, cool, and professional. The fluorescent lighting and stern expressions of the support staff encourage a sombre attitude, but if anyone is looking up toward the podium they might catch at least one of the Rangers smiling as he peeks out from behind the curtains during the initial set up. He's wearing something like a wetsuit at the moment, though it won't be fully visible until he emerges for the demonstration.

Sharpen your pencils and have a seat, guys. You might even learn something.

"Catering?" It was obviously blurted out unintentionally, twice as obvious when Yuri guiltily checked his six to make sure no-one had heard that embarrassing outburst. And then realizing how much worse he was making matters, he just grimaced a little at himself and made a straight line for whatever portion of pastries looked like they had the most frosting and sugar involved. If the other cadets didn't recognize a windfall when they saw one, well, they'd be weeping over their folly after a week more of cafeteria food.

Grabbing a couple pastries, he only moved the bare minimum of polite distance away before taking a bite, sighing gratefully after he swallowed. "This almost makes me miss cooking," he said, apparently talking to the left over half of his pastry.

Kate picks up a pastry and some fruit. The cafeteria food is at least passable. But it's nowhere near the standards that Kate was used to back home. At least there was this.

"You cooked?" She didn't do much of that, she can do the basics but most of her food was take out. Mostly pizza if she was being honest.

Hastily, he shoved the rest of the pastry into his mouth and swallowed, glancing over to see who had spoken. Not someone he'd really seen around before... After a quick, evaluative look, he shrugged. "All the time, since I was a kid."

"Snacks like this, or actual meals?" She can't help it, she's curious. Who are the people she's training with here anyway? Might as well try to get to know more of them.

Ngaio heard him, noticed the check, and was trying not to laugh, which translated into grinning at her plate of pastries. It'd be hypocritical; she'd had basically the same thought.

"Makes me miss the chef's", she replied, her smile turning nostalgic. "My parents own a motel - back in the day, summer breakfast could look like this."
