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.

Oh. Oh well. It's weird being in the presence of a hero, let's be honest. She just stares for a moment before sliding a bit sideways out of his way. He's everything she wants to be, right? Everything and more. And she's a little bit starstruck for a fraction of a second. Then she hastily grabs a sandwich as well, noting his words and deciding that if it's a precious asset, she'll go ahead and try some.

With her hands full, she can't write, and she's pretty confident he doesn't know sign language, so she kind of just... stares. And looks impressed. And awkward.

Hey, he's a cool dude. And while she doesn't care about his rock star like status, she respects the role and what he does and just... yes. She's a little starstruck, honestly. Maybe he even knows who she is--if she knew he knew her name, she'd be completely beside herself.

Nodding in answer to his question, she gestures to the food. It's good stuff, and she's feeling slightly spoiled by it; the spread is too generous and the variety ridiculous. She's hoping that much gets across. Then she gestures toward him a bit, as though asking how he's doing.

Nodding once, she finally sets down the food and pulls out her notepad. Eventually she'll get used to communicating again, but for now it's pen and paper.

I was in the front. I was hoping you'd take volunteers.

Smiling, she shows him the words, waits for a reaction that she hopes will be favorable.
