Arriving at the Facility

[hageshii]

Who: All Draftees!
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: As of this morning
Where: The dorm facilities outside the enclosure
Summary: General shenanigans for people inside the dorms.
Rating: PG-13, probably.

[After traveling through the tunnels, draftees will arrive in the hotel-like dorm facilities. For information on what to expect, please read here! This is open comment log for anyone, so threadjack away! But remember, you can only enter someone's room if they let you.

If you haven't already, check out this post and get your character assigned to a team!]

SPECIAL NOTE!! - Since this didn't come up before (but should have, my bad), there are actually a minimum of 400 Third Party soldiers in each area as opposed to in total. This means there are 1200 of them over all.

[Well, good for you, Sokka. He knows he's being watched. It's hard not to be given that both of them stick out against the white, sterile background of the hallway. But unfortunately for Sokka... his door is actually labelled "Batman."

Not that "Bruce Wayne" would mean much to him anyway.]

[markofthewise]

[... wow.]

... did your parents really name you that? [Because... wow.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[...Batman hesitates at that, though not visibly.]

No.

[markofthewise]

Huh. [And suddenly he grins.] So not even the Malnosso know your secret identity. Wow!

[Oh, they know, and he knows it. They just know Batman doesn't want it revealed. Or maybe they know this is who he sees himself as. Who knows. Either way, it'll bring a small smirk to Batman's face.]

[Hm, this may be his one chance. His once chance ever to ask something super, super important.]

Hey! Can I ask you something, real quick? It's not a personal question or anything. [He doesn't seem the type to answer those.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[He'll turn to face Sokka, and give a slight nod. Go ahead.]

[markofthewise]

[Good enough.]

I've been trying to think of something that would give me an edge out there in battle. My friends will all be stronger out there, but I'm actually going to be at a disadvantage, because I don't have the filial magic here. I need something that will give me an edge out there. Something I can actually use. [He'd considered guns, but... he doesn't have any experience using them.]

[This is an area he knows very well.]

...Your head. Your friends may have the advantage in power, but the most powerful weapon anyone has is their brain. Use it to plan, think on your feet, to read your enemy and the situation. Know what you can't handle.

Attack when you have the advantage and when your foe shows a weakness. Use the element of surprise. And learn how to turn the enemy's strengths against them.

[Sokka nods through all of this. It's all pretty practical advice. It's actually the kind of thing he puts into use anyway.]

Yeah. I've been trying to do all that stuff. Usually I don't do so bad. I was just wondering if you had any ideas for something with a little more firepower, you know? We don't exactly have the same availability of weapons in my world.

What equipment did you intend to bring with you?

[markofthewise]

Well, I have my sword, my boomerang, some smoke bombs and regular explosives, my club, and... a few extra knives.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

The burden of unnecessary equipment is something you should try to avoid. Weight is an issue of concern because it hampers your mobility and stealth. What you have should be sufficient if you put it to proper use.

Which you know how to do.

[markofthewise]

I guess you're right. Thanks, Mr. Batman.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

No problem.

...Good luck, Sokka.

[And with that, Batman will open the door to his room and step inside.]
