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.

[ 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. ]

[forgetbeam]

I promise you that there will be no reason to need to defend yourself as long as we are in this room! I will return it to you after the meeting.

[After making sure it's empty...]

[hellofriend]

[ Oh, she didn't look so certain anymore. She considered what Ms. GLaDOS had told her and, with a little frown, she handed her weapon over. ]

You're protecting the room?

[forgetbeam]

That is correct! Not only the room itself, but everyone who is in it as well.

[By keeping the gun in safe hands... He holds it like someone who's never touched a gun in his life, nor someone who ever wants to. Just holding something so deadly feels so wrong.]

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian looked alarmed for a flicker of a second before her usual expression took hold. She reached over for the gun and gently grabbed it, but it wasn't with a pull as if she wanted it back. She pressed a small switch. ]

Safety is off.

[ Oh. Dear god. ]

[forgetbeam]

A...Aah...

[OH... GOD... WHAT IF HE TOUCHES IT WRONG AND ACCIDENTALLY SETS IT OFF. He's holding it out at arm's length, looking absolutely horrified.]

Turn it back on! After all, the key word is "safe," isn't it...?! Vivian...

[hellofriend]

But if it's off, you can't use it. What if you need to use it to be safe?

[ If this wasn't such a horrifying situation, it might sound like she actually cares about you, Ishimaru!


She nods. ]

Safety's off so you are safe! [ Everyone pray. ]

[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

[monotreme_101]

Nyou're Odserbant aben't you?

[Oh god that feels insanely uncomfortable.]

[forgetbeam]

[Whoa he looks down to his lists for two seconds and-]

Vivian, what--?! Get down from there at once! That's improper conduct for a Hall Monitor! We should be setting an example! Knuckles, this is my fault for not teaching her more thoroughly...!

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian didn't pay him much mind. She let go of his muzzle and promptly began to run her finger from his olive nose to his eyes. IT WAS SOFT.....

But she withdrew after that, looking at her hand as if she received a gift. She slid back down into her seat and wiggled her fingers. ]

Thank you! [ You're so sweet for not punching her nose into her brain, Knuckles!

She turned to Ishimaru. ]

I forgive you. It was soft. [ You should touch it, too, Ishimaru. Live a little. ]

[monotreme_101]

[HE WAS CONTEMPLATING IT but frankly? She looked so joyful at the feel of his muzzle. Like a little kid or something. Wouldn't feel right to be too harsh with her.]

....just for future reference, you oughta ask before up and grabbing someone by the face. But it's fine, Ishimaru. She wasn't rough or anythin'.

[He wiggled his nose. Gah it still felt weird. And smelled of humans.]

[forgetbeam]

It is not fine! A meeting like this calls for professionalism!

[VERY STERN LOOK towards Vivian there.]

[hellofriend]

[ And a very sweet and cute smile back. ]
