[ network/log ] howlettes training session #1

[ Because of the sheer number of people that ended up responding to Logan's apparent call for Mahjong team members, he ends up having to change the venue of their training from his office to the ante room next to Charles'. The first half-hour is spent explaining the rules of Mahjong (and snapping at anyone who tries to interrupt him; Logan's trying to get the damn explanation done as soon as possible), and after that he splits members into groups of four in the hopes of playing at least one game. He hovers throughout this first game in case anyone has anything they need clarified, and he's decidedly nicer than he was when he was busy trying to explain how the game works.

After all the first games are concluded, he leaves everyone to their devices to get to know each other, with the caveat that any mansion explorations are done with minimal destruction to the grounds. Some snacks have been laid out on the table -- mostly crisps, cookies, and other easy to eat fingerfoods (plus some Trix, courtesy of Spiderman) -- and there're bottles of juice and pop on the fireplace mantle, along with plastic cups if anyone wants to use them.

Logan also begrudgingly distributes a jacket to everyone at some point in the day. Having given the roster to Cyclops beforehand, the idiot went and got jackets made for them. All right, then.

He'll spend most of his free time seated in one of the chairs drinking pop and eating Trix, and saying yes to anyone who might want to play another Mahjong game with him. Mostly, he's just appalled that this thing's actually happening... and that so many people said yes.

Maybe he knows how to make friends after all. ]

ii. network/texting (after everyone's left the mansion)

Hey, good session today. Hope we all learned something from it. I think I learned more than I should have.

I'm sending all of you our teammates' contact details. You see a codename, that's all you're getting -- some of us want to keep our identities secret. If you're messaging anyone, let them know who you are first, OK?

Any questions or concerns, let me know.

P.S. This is what the Hyundai looks like: [ATTACHED IMG]. Print that out and stick it on the ceiling of your bedroom so you don't lose sight of your goals or whatever the hell it is people do.

iii. open option

MAKE YOUR OWN STARTERS. Literally do it. Toplevel and stuff so I (and other people) can hit all of you, damn.

I noticed. [ He's going to ignore that look, because. ]

I know but if we aren't wearing casual clothes then people can tell us a part and know how to look for us if they need help. We give a sense of unity and strength.

[danzan]

[ SIGH. ]

Guess you won't let me do it in the X-Men hoodie either, then.

[no_fun_allowed]

You could wear that one during training sessions.

[danzan]

What?!

[ Logan's phone shakes because he's jumped up in his seat, appalled. ]

Now I can't wear my pyjamas to training!?

[no_fun_allowed]

[ At this point, Scott is judging Logan's fashion choices in life. Sorry pal. ]

You...could. But why would you wear sleepwear for training? That would ruin them.

[danzan]

Because they're comfy. [ He says it like it's the most obvious thing in the world. ]

[no_fun_allowed]

Crocs are comfy too, you wont' see me fighting in those.

[danzan]

That's 'cause you're shallow about your looks.

[no_fun_allowed]

Right, that's the main problem. Me always wanting to look my best when I try not to get killed.

[danzan]

Good that you know that.

[no_fun_allowed]

At that Scott decides to just give up.

I need to go grade some paper. Try to behave in the meantime, you're the headmaster.
