JUSTICE LEAGUE, ASSEMBLE

[forgetbeam]

Who: The poor saps who signed up for Disciplinary Committee and the wise guys who want to troll them. And everyone in between.
What: REAL TALK.
When: December 7th.
Warnings: I guess that depends on who shows up.



Despite having the Committee idea officially approved before Halloween, various things kept coming up and causing problems every time Ishimaru tried to plan out a first meeting. All of these things amounted to "SHOCKY IS LAZY." But it was finally happening, and not a moment too soon! Recent events just added to the list of topics to cover, and some of them were pretty deep and serious.

(Not that keeping order was ever not serious business.)

The meeting itself was held in one of the spare club rooms, set up with a long table surrounded by chairs. The only real thing of interest was the tray of snacks on the table, since Ishimaru had noticed that it was much easier to get people to sit and listen when there was food involved. Of course, anyone hoping for cakes and cookies would be disappointed in the sliced fruits and vegetables adorning the tray instead. There wasn't even any dip...

Well, nothing could possibly go wrong at such a professional meeting, at least.

INTROS.

[Ishimaru has taken it upon himself to be at the head of the table, surrounded by SO MANY LISTS... Which he is going over and over again while periodically checking his watch. And maybe munching on delicious red peppers.

Who shows up definitely affects later points in the meeting. Don't be laaate.]

[One person who is absolutely not unhappy with the selection of snacks is Knuckles. Oh man are those assorted red and green grapes? Good luck getting any assorted red and green grapes anyone else who is late.]

Ishimaru, right?

[forgetbeam]

That's right! You are Knuckles, aren't you?

[Seeing this red fuzzy creature in person is... well, less jarring after two months in Smash than it would be otherwise, at least.

Jeez, maybe he should have set out more grapes. A good thing to remember for next time.]

[monotreme_101]

That's me.

[He extended a hand to be shaken.]

Who else you expecting to turn up?

[forgetbeam]

[He stares at the hand for a moment, before realizing what Knuckles is trying to do here. Ishimaru's handshake is surprisingly meek for such a loud and assertive guy. Or maybe he's just too Japanese for this, WHATEVER.]

Eikichi Mishina, Kazooie, and somebody named Bowser are all on my list. I expect Vivian will be showing up as well, as she is a Hall Monitor.

[Little does he know, SHE'S ALREADY HERE.]

[monotreme_101]

[Knuckles handshake, conversely, was like some kind of fabric-wrapped bear trap.]

OK, first thing's first - Bowser is a Dick. A big, fat, mean, bossy, jerk who really doesn't do much of anything unless it's trying to piss someone off. If he told you he's coming, he's going to try and derail any progress you're making. Fair warning.

But Kazooie is cool. Eikichi seems like a good guy too.

[ Oh, jeez, did you look under the table when you set this room up, Ishimaru? Because that table cloth was fluttering and Vivian was suddenly crawling from beneath it, looking around the room as she climbed onto the chair closest to Ishimaru. She wasn't technically late but she was appearing late. ]

Hello!

[ JESUS CHRIST. ]

It's me!

[forgetbeam]

[WHAT THE SHIT]

--Ah!! ...Vivian? What... what were you doing under there...?

[He does a quick peek under the table just to make sure there aren't more Vivians. ...That's right, she was a machine, there could be hundreds of her. HA... HA...]

[hellofriend]

[ He'd probably shit himself if he knew the exact number manufactured at good ol' Aperture Science! ]

Searching...

[ ......... ]

Are we discussing halls?

[ Yeah, you're not getting an explanation. ]

[forgetbeam]

[They don't make robot bears, do they?!]

The discussion...

[HE JUST. Needs a few seconds to recover from how bizarre this entire situation is right now. One, two, okay he's good.]

Actually, what we will be discussing today has to do with safety precautions within the halls and otherwise! We will begin in - [CHECKIN' THE WATCH] - two and a half minutes!

[hellofriend]

[ If you can imagine it... They probably do it. ]

Safety!

[ OH OH OH. Vivian knows all about safety! She reaches somewhere and suddenly pulls out this little baby. ]

Thank you. I'll wait.

[forgetbeam]

[WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HIS MEETING]

What have I told you about guns?! They are definitely not allowed in this meeting!! Give that to me, right now!

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian held it gently against her chest, leaning away from Ishimaru and yet, still smiling. ]

Self defense. [ What a simple reminder for something so deadly. ]

[monotreme_101]

[.....well. That was unexpected.]

....'sup.

[hellofriend]

[ Oh! A new face and -

Woah, this one was not human.

No, what? No, what the... ]

Hello...

[ Staaaaare. ]

[monotreme_101]

Hey. Hi.

[Staaaare right back.]

LMAO this is awful and amusing

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian started to crawl onto the table, pulling her skirt up enough to give her knees freedom. She wanted to grab him right by the nose. ]

SO AWKWARD and delicious

[monotreme_101]

.....so... uhh... what are you doing? On the table?

[He wasn't going to mention the skirt thing. So long as she kept it ON they were fine.]

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian got right to the snout grabbing. ]

You're - [ She looked toward Ishimaru and then Knuckles again. ] different

[deathboss]

[He is RIGHT ON TIME.]

Gooood afternoon, babes!

[monotreme_101]

Hey man - Good to meet you in person.

[forgetbeam]

[What babes?

But there's some pretty recognizable hair.]

Good afternoon, Mishina! You are just in time! So, let us begin the meeting now!

[AS SOON AS SHOCKY PUTS UP THE THREAD.]

HOPE YA DON'T MIND, SHOCKY...

[lives_strong]

[Despite the fact that she didn't sign up because Jon is extremely forgetful, Ondrea decided to show up anyway in her human form. The Disciplinary Committee sounded intriguing, and besides...they have healthy snacks, her favorite...

She idly walks over to the hall monitor, giving him a brief nod as greeting.]

My name is Ondrea. I was not able to sign up for this committee, as I've been rather busy keeping up with my studies and training. That said, I am interested in joining and I hope you do not mind me attending this meeting.

minds everything

[forgetbeam]

[WHAT ARE YOU WEARING. >:||||||||||||| AND not signing up before showing up. >:||||||| Nonetheless, Ishimaru's frowning might be less judgmental and more just... his face. Maybe. Because he can't fully disapprove of someone who spends time being busy with their studies.]

Of course! I will allow drop-ins for this first meeting as long as you are well behaved! Have a seat and we will begin!

shoves

[lives_strong]

Understood. You have my thanks.
