001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

You're the one proven to be an evident danger to the well-being of those on this rig. As proven by the further alteration just now?

[He's talking about the little kerfuffle during the party. But it's difficult not to feel like a couple of squabbling juves in the face of Armstrong's intervention, and he recognises it for the discreet advisement that it is. So he lets out a slow breath, composes his face, clasps his hands behind his back, and magnanimously offers with a kind smile;]

But I'll be the better party in this instance [implied: as you refuse to be] and forgive your assault on my person. In the interests of team unity, as Armstrong says.

I wouldn't have to get in anyone's face if people would stop treating me like I'm beneath them somehow.

You're the one acting all superior because of what you look like! You're not better than me. You're washed up and work out. Old. Broken. I've seen someone like you before. It's pathetic, really. I get why you're lashing out but you should know better.

[ Catra? Let something go? Okay it's happened but that was her ex-bestie. ]

[Oh. That's what this reminds him of. It's like being home whenever some idiot decides to call the entire Dragon Branch together and crams more than thirty supervillains into a single room.

He's going to need to find a reliable bar if this keeps up during their entire stay.]

Excuse me - I’m only in my thirties!

[of all the things to defend first - but he catches himself. He looks a little bit taken aback by the sudden spewage of verbal assault but composes himself quickly.]

The only one I see lashing out here is you.

You're the one starting in on calling people inferior and weird because I'm not exactly like you.
