Blue Meeting:
Who: Gladio + Blue Team and Friends.
Where: Dining carriage. (Change of venue, larger space)
When: Grasshopper 15th after lunch.
What: The first Blue Team meeting with the new Leadership in place.
Warnings: Unknown. Possible cuteness. Snack induced jealousy. Will update if something comes up!
To say that Gladio was nervous would be an understatement. He hadn't been able to get much sleep the night before worrying if this would work out the way he had planned. Would people be receptive to what he asked? Would people even come to this meeting? He had been assured by several people there would be at least some (who could resist lovingly prepared snacks?) but it remained to be seen.
Gladio sat at a table, there was a notepad and a pencil in his hand. He would be taking notes of things he deemed important.
Once people started filtering in, Gladio began to feel somewhat better. Calmer. He watched them milling about with a smile. It was only when he thought there was enough that he rose and gave a call to get people's attention.
"First, I just wanna thank everyone for coming. I know it was short notice, but between the mission and platform day coming up, my hands were tied.
In future I'm going to do my best to have a meeting like this before every big mission, once we get the info. I don't think a little organisation can hurt. And... with that in mind. The reason I wanted to get you all here. I want everyone to get to know each other. And I want to learn more about you all. I'd like, if you're all willing, to assign simple roles within the team to each person for missions. If you don't want to be part of that, just let me know. That's your choice." He smiled wider. "If you do... I'll get to you. If you've any questions, I'm open to them. Piccolo and WangJi are also here to answer your questions and concerns. Not just here and not just for missions, but any you have. We're here for you."
With that his smile became a grin. "Now... I know two of our number have been working hard to make delicious snacks, so do me a favour? Make them happy and dig in! Enjoy them and... chat. Mingle. Get to know your fellow blue. We're a small team, lets make us the best team!"

... At what point did I say it would be just you two? I said I wanted to buddy you up, because he can use a shield that can protect you. Getting in close with fists is a lot more dangerous than, say, a sword. Or a gun. You're more at risk. Romeo can mitigate that risk.
[He sat back in his seat and lifted a hand to idly rub at his right eye.]
Look. As I see it, we've about a month, give or take, till there's a new mission. They're generally regular. That gives you a month to get to know the kid better. It also gives me a month to get to know all of you better, and fine tune a mission plan.
While I'm probably going to give people roles, teams to be a part of, nothing at all will stop those teams from mingling and joining forces. You get me? We're a team, at the end of the day. And while each person will have a job to do, in the end we're all going to be working together. That... is my plan.

The blond hums a bit, and ultimately shrugs.] I'll take y'r word for it though...
[Which is to say, he's listening, but still suspicious. It's probably as good as it's getting for now though- and it's as Gladio said. There's a decent amount of time to sort it out, by which point the blond will hopefully have softened up to logic.
Hopefully.] So y' want me to stick w'th Romeo b'cause of shields. Got it. What abou' everythin' else though?
[The combat part he gets now- stay with Romeo, Romeo has shields. But if this is a meeting for Blue Team over all, there's bound to be more Gladio wants to ask about...right?]
no subject
And yes, he can shield you so you can fight. It should keep you safe. And you can keep him safe.
[He scratched idly at his cheek with the end of his pencil.]
Then tell me what else you can do? We've got the fighting part down. Each mission is different. But do you have any strengths in other places? Weaknesses I need to know about?
no subject
...I don' have my lockpicks here, so tha's out, but hones'ly th' las' time I had t' use those, I wound up havin' t' jus' break th' door an' bolt anyway... [Whatever door he broke must have been cheap granted, but hey. As it is, lockpicking skills need lockpicks.] Ahhhh...
Oh! I can drive too! [....] ...I dunno if tha's any use either though. [Maybe one day they'll have a mission that needs someone to drive a truck.] And...
...I guess...navigatin'? I dunno abou' tha' one either, since th' stars ain't gonna be th' same...beyond tha', I doubt bein' able t' handle farm animals an' such is any use... [The woes of being thrown from one world to the next- all of your farming, herding, and navigating skill goes out the window.]
no subject
And you don't know until the mission what'll come in useful. [He grinned.]
None of us know what do expect when the time comes. Who knows what kind of world we'll end up on? Maybe the next mission we'll actually have to deal with farm animals or driving. If we do, you'll be the one I come running to.
no subject
[Dueling, Yo-Yos...the stuff he hasn't said about future sight...He'd bet more on his herding whistle taking effect on a mission, than needing any of that stuff, so he's pretty sure that's it that can be considered 'relevant'.]
no subject
I guess if that's all there is to know, then we're about done here.
But if anything comes to mind, if you've anything you wanna discuss with me, suggestions or anything. Just let me know, alright?
no subject
Katsuya nods, and grins.] Sure thing! ...And uh...guess I oughta vacate th' seat f'r whoever's next huh?
no subject
[Gladio grinned back and then pointed with his pencil across the way.]
But there are cookies over there, go help yourself! They're real good.
and wrap !
Heck yeah, free food!]
