[Video] The first meeting of the welcoming committee

[the_other_eight]

[To the members of the welcoming committee]

I know I haven't spoken to many of you in quite some time. However with the advent of the undead invasion which it seems the local population was unaware would occur, and other matters, I feel it may be best to have our first meeting. I've spoken to one of the cafe owners from the water sector and they've agreed to close shop early so that we can have the building to ourselves in order to discuss matters. I understand the short notice, but I'd like to have the meeting tonight. We will also, of course, take minutes, so don't be upset should you not be able to attend. I've sent a map to each of you with the directions on how to get to the shop.

I will also be again extending an invitation to the populous to join the committee.



[When the video feed comes on Pepper can be seen writing in her notebook. She really wishes that she could have a personal computer that she wasn't worried was bugged. Still, paranoid people can't have everything they want. There's a steaming mug of coffee sitting next to her with fish on it. They're painted on and look as if they're swimming around the mug.]

Seeing as things have settled down I wanted to again extend an invitation to the populous to join the Welcoming Committee. We're here to ensure new arrivals are given the information they need and seek in a kind and friendly manner. If you're interested please inquire within.

Also, I'm looking for a psychiatrist. One who happens to specialize in brainwashing and post traumatic stress disorder. If there's a possibility that your services would be of assistance please contact Pepper Potts.

You're taking me out to dinner tonight after the committee meeting. It's been months since we had a proper date.

What kind of duties would we have if we sign up?

Re: video;

[the_other_eight]

That depends on what you can do.

Well I'm just learning the ropes myself, but I don't mind showing people around the city, if you don't already have somebody doing that. Or I could design some brochures - I'm an artist back home.

[And a superhero, but he doesn't mention that.]

[ Peeta has to mentally reprocess the request a few times ]

Is that...for me?

[the_other_eight]

I told you I'd do what I could.

[howherolls]

[ he's never had anyone...be nice like this before. not without something in return ]

Is there something you'd like me to do?

[wintershepherd]

I'll be there.

[ pause ]

Why are you looking for someone who specializes in that...?

Re: video;

[the_other_eight]

I have a friend who needs it.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Oh.

[ another pause ]

Sorry.

[cravats]

Well, if anyone greeting me was on your Committee, I must say they did their job very well. I was quite charmed by the hospitality displayed by other residents.

[the_other_eight]

I don't know if it was a member of the Welcoming committee, but everyone here is pretty helpful. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask over the network. We tend to try to help one another out.

[alpha_squad_leader]

I'll be there tonight.

Were you okay during all that zombie craziness?

Re: [Video]

[the_other_eight]

I found a way to be useful. Were you alright during it?

[Between this and Batgirl's new teen group, Zatanna was going to end up spending all her free time time at team meetings.]

[Fine with her, if the right people were on each team.]

I get off work at 8. Is that too late to come?

Re: video

[the_other_eight]

I was hoping to start around then. So you should be fine.

[littlecousin]

I'll bring cookies!

[More people come if there's free food--yes she's a college student, why do you ask?]

Re: video;

[the_other_eight]

They'll be appreciated.

Have you been alright since the turtle's stint as a diving bell?

[shootingshields]

Water seems an excellent choice. I think it's probably the safest sector.

I can be there tonight.

Re: video

[the_other_eight]

That was my thought exactly.


[She gives Peggy a bright smile.]

We really need to find time to just sit and chat Peggy.

[nolimitation]

I'm available tonight. I live near the cafe, so I can drop by early and make sure everyone finds us okay.

Thank you for organizing all of this, by the way. I appreciate the time and effort involved in wrangling this many people to one purpose.

Re: [text]

[the_other_eight]

I'd appreciate it.

I'm used to it.

not here

[ Bane is keeping an eye on Ms. Potts. The idea of a Welcoming Committee is trivial and not worth his efforts, but the fact that she has an anchored position in the community is intriguing ]

Re: not here (ooc)

[the_other_eight]

Not going to sign up Bane?

[bothbarrels]

I'll be there. Were you also planning to set up that meeting with your employer? You thought he'd want to discuss my AI with me.

[the_other_eight]

Yes. With everything that was going on I haven't been able to talk to him about it yet.
