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.

She paused, distracted by his bagels.
"What is in those?" she asked, fascinated. She'd filled her plate with pastries and fruit before even reaching the bagels, and as far as she's concerned, bagels only come in one flavor if at all.
Wow, I am slow and sucky, sorry!
The woman's accent was Australian perhaps? Or maybe a New Zealand; Tom wasn't sure honestly. Her question was a little surprising however mainly because he'd never met anyone who hadn't been introduced to the taste-packed wonder that was an everything bagel.
"It's a bagel. This kind comes topped with poppy, caraway, and sesame seeds, salt, garlic, and onion. It sounds kinda gross but it's amazing." After a moment's hesitation, he ripped off half of the top bagel slice and held it out to Ngaio. "Would you care to try it?"

She took a bite and made various faces as she chewed, trying to figure out if she liked it or not. By the end of the mouthful, she still hadn't decided, but she certainly wasn't about to give up the rest of the slice.
"That is weird," she said, rather delighted. "I've only ever had the plain ones."

He said the last part with a decided note of irony in his tone. Amused, he munched on a bite of his own bagel half while Ngaio made a series of funny faces as she sampled the bagel.
"Back in San Fransisco, sourdough bagels are all the rage but my dad was from New York so we always had these growing up. I'm Tom by the way." The dark-haired man introduced himself somewhat belatedly.

Sure, she was used to a bit of 'Cadet Travers' from Air Cadets at home, but her squadron hadn't been as intense about it as Jaeger Academy was.
"I'm from Tolaga Bay - New Zealand," she added, trying to recover. "Never been to America."
