[Meeting time! Everyone come in, mingle, greet the newbies. Yuan's sitting at the front of the room, surrounded by more papers than usual, and looking...particularly grim? That seems strange, considering that they've won the big fight.

Haven't they? ...Maybe he's just tired.]

[Alan is just going to observe for a little while to get a feel of the place, taking a few sips of coffee here and there.]

[jamesholmes]

[Hey Alan, have a fellow observer standing nearby, though he's eying your cup of coffee with something like disgust when he decides to glance towards you on occasion, otherwise he's just, taking in the place.]

[is0latedthinker]

[Alan notices one of the glances and furrows his eyebrows, frowning slightly.] Something wrong?

[jamesholmes]

[Well it would have happened sooner or later so he shakes his head his English accent evident.] Not much of a fan of coffee is all. [Read he thinks its the sludge not fit to drink.]

[is0latedthinker]

[Alan's frown disappears, replaced by a bit of a smirk. With the English accent, he'll assume the other man prefers a more English drink.]

I can't say I'm much of a fan of tea.

[jamesholmes]

[He shakes his head a little, honestly, Americans.]

You sir have no taste. [All serious until he chuckles a little and goes over to extend him a hand.] James Watson.

[is0latedthinker]

Maybe. [Alan laughs, shaking the Englishman's hand.] Alan Bradley. Good to meet you.

[jamesholmes]

Pleasure to meet you as well. [He lets his hand go and just shakes his head more.] New member or been a part of this for a while? [A wave of his hand to indicate this meant the Peace Patrol.]

[is0latedthinker]

New member. A friend of mine mentioned it to me.

What about you?

[jamesholmes]

New member myself, not exactly one to sit on the sidelines.

American?

[is0latedthinker]

Ah. [He nods.] I figured I'd get a look at what I was getting myself into before doing anything. [So here he is.] I'm guessing you had the same idea. [Especially because the meeting has yet to begin.]

That obvious, is it? Yes, I am.

[jamesholmes]

[Indeed he had the same idea, and he's chuckling a little on the inside at it all.] Indeed I did, much better to walk into a situation knowing something then to walk in blindly. Nothing wrong with a little observation.

It's the way you speak, and your accent. [And the coffee.]

[is0latedthinker]

Which is exactly what's hinting that you're British.

[jamesholmes]

I am that yes, I won't deny it. Was it the accent or my dislike of coffee that gave you that clue? [He's just curious, and he's watching Alan with some interest, trying to figure him out.]

[is0latedthinker]

[He chuckles.] A little bit of both, I'd have to say. But the idea definitely started with your accent.

[jamesholmes]

[He nods.] Not hard to figure it out is it? So you are from a form of Earth, what did you do if you don't mind my asking?
