TWAT club meeting mingle

Who: Scott Summers and members of TWAT (Teenagers With Abilities and Talents) Club. Or any teenager that just stops by really.
Where: Roof of the club building
What: Teenagers with abilities or maybe no real abilities hanging out on the rooftop and eating food. Talking. Doing club stuff.
Warnings: Probably none.

[Maybe you're already part of TWAT club and read the message that Scott sent out to everyone, basically stating that they're having a meeting this Saturday to just hang out and meet new members. Or you saw one of the flyers around town that mentioned about having a meeting. Either way, the meeting is held at the rooftop of the club building, so just come. No food or anything required. He's a good leader like that, yeah. Definitely.]

before the meeting;
[Why did you come early, god.

Well, anyone that is one of those people that like to come early to events, Scott's putting you to work. Maybe it's just helping getting the food out on the tables, or bringing up chairs or tables up to the rooftop. Either way, work needs to be done and setup is still in progress, so pair up with other TWAT members or whatever to get things ready. Thanks, Scott appreciates it. Probably.

Also, if you have your own food or brought a game of some sort, that's cool. He definitely isn't going to say no. Go set that up.]

just hanging out;
[Once the meeting starts and Scott gives some basic speech and welcoming new people to TWAT Club (in which he wasn't nervous at all shut up), people are more than welcome to just eat the pretty decent spread laid out in the tables. Stuff like chips, pizza, rice balls, ramen, probably some mixture of American and Japanese food because he's him and his girlfriend is Kotone, so yeah. There's also a little sign or note in front of the tables that states 'provided by cooking club, so join us. ✨'

Since this is a place filled with teenagers and abilities... Scott probably has encouraged people to show off their powers a little. JUST DON'T BLOW SOMETHING UP it's okay, he's talking about himself too. Of course, he's not forcing anyone to show off their powers and everything, but he sort of hopes people are feeling more comfortable to do so. That is the purpose of his club and everything.

There's also a random cornhole game set up. Don't ask.]

after club;
[Feel like being a nice person and help clean up? Nice. Scott isn't forcing anyone to stay after to do so, but he appreciates the help. It's mostly just taking tables down and clearing out the trash. Anyone that stays can probably take home some of the leftovers. So, that's a nice bonus.

Maybe you just want to sit on the ground and enjoy the evening a little. He's not judging.]

[ooc: TWAT mingle log! Please feel free to post your own top levels and tag each other. :> If your character would bring food or set something up, go right ahead. The more the better, right? Also your character doesn't need to be part of TWAT to join, Scott will just sort of let any teenager in. 'Teenager' being anyone that doesn't look too much like an oldie--]

Before the Meeting
Why is he there early? Exactly what he's doing right now. To help set up, to move chairs where they need to be or make sure the tables are sturdy and aren't going to blow off. Sure, he will have to re-ice the table legs to the floor throughout the mingling, but that's a small price to pay to make sure the food doesn't go everywhere if they're on the roof. Speaking of, anything that needs keeping warm he will gladly do while they're setting up, anything that needs ice, he will also gladly do while they're setting up.

Hanging Out
Shoto isn't new to the concept clubs of clubs, but he is new to being in one that has nothing to do with heroics, sports or anything else like that. He does enjoy food, his quirk takes a lot out of him and he metabolizes a lot to use it. He's also, much like everyone else, a growing teen. Rice balls look fun and he is most pointedly looking at the cooking club card. Join them? Well, Bakugo used to do all the cooking and with him gone, that may not be a bad idea to branch out and learn more than food that holds nutrition. He might want to join. This does taste amazing.

As for the games, he's not so much interested in playing as he is watching or learning, or asking questions. He may try one if he's prompted, but his focus is people watching and learning at that moment.

Showing off powers is equally interesting to him, not so much that he has to show off his own, but that he's watching other people's. When he's asked, however, he isn't ashamed or afraid of showing off his fire and his ice abilities. Of course, since he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, things are very carefully done. Right to the point where he brings the fire and the ice in toward his chest in the center of it and bids the person he's showing off his talent to: "Go ahead, it can't burn you. Touch it." And other things that out of context of trying to feel what fire would feel like without the pain that people shouldn't say.

Wildcard
(Anything within reason is fine, I would like to avoid PVP/fighting instances though.)

Levi hadn't asked Shoto to show off, but he'd been around when someone else did. He could make fire too, but probably not in the same way this guy was. Was the ice a separate spell? He supposes that could be useful in combat too. Or whatever, since he's noticed those frozen table legs.

Even though he's like to touch it, he waits for the display to end before approaching Shoto. "Was it you who froze the tables?"

Shoto is a utility knife regarding his abilities, but he likes to help wherever he can. So someone noticing feels nice. "Yes, that was me. Are one of them coming loose?" He's assuming that may be it, to be honest. "If you show me which one I'll fix it."

"Uh, no, at least I don't think so. I was just curious. It was a good idea to tie them down like that."

"Oh." A compliment. Or what he thinks might be one, or intended to be one. "Thank you, I thought it'd be better than losing the food everyone worked hard on. Did you like it? The food? I did."

It was an awkward attempt at a compliment. Most of Levi's interactions with others was a bit awkward. "Yeah. Some of those things I haven't really seen before. It was interesting...I don't think there was anything I didn't like."

They're both in the same boat. Shoto isn't that great at this, either, but he understands it isn't just to meet up and eat. He knows what networking and meeting people looks like, too. "Yeah, whoever picked it out did a good job. I'm thinking I may even look into the food club on that card." He gestures to the little card at the setting.

"The cooking club? I'm in it, um, sort of." He didn't think he was able to do much. "Kotone's really nice, she'll probably let you in if you ask."

Shoto can't be sure what sort of means there, but it's more than 'no' at least and that's something. "Kotone... Do you have their full name? Or a contact? I wouldn't mind trying to see if I could learn something."

It means he was coerced into joining for some hot cocoa and he thinks he's no good at it. "Uh..n-no, I just know Kotone. She might be here? I think she's Scott's girlfriend. Brown, kind of reddish hair, she wears it back in a pony tail a lot."

Now that's a name he knows. Scott, at least. "Ah I see, him I've met. Her I haven't met yet, but if she's his friend then I'm sure she's nice, too." Shoto offers up one of the treats at the table. "This one is particularly good."

"She's always been really friendly when I've met her." Even when she was clearly manipulating him to join a club.

Oh no, well, Shoto is sure in for it then. He's already interested, but also not certain to it. At least this talk is helping him. "I'll tell her we-- oh. I know her name, but not yours."

"O-oh. Sorry. I'm Levi."

"Levi." He replies, nodding his head. "Shoto." He knows the customs, but all the same offers his hand. "Shoto Todoroki. Either name is fine. It's nice to meet you."

Levi shakes; its a custom where he's from so its familiar even if his grip is weak.

"O-okay. Shoto if you don't mind." He's yet to figure out the personal name/family name order is different that what he knows in other places.

"I don't mind." He confirms, making sure the man knows certainly that it's just fine. Weak grip or not, Shoto isn't too concerned on that and takes his hand back after.

"It's nice to meet you. Maybe I will see you again in another of these get togethers?"

"I, um, maybe. I'm not good with people but I can try." He'll probably just wallflower most of the time.

Shoto considers for a second or two before nodding. "Try. Maybe next time we can try a game they've put out." Shy people are fine, but he likes people in general.

Ange definitely sees him looking at the card that mentions the cooking club. It's definitely not something she has any real interest him, but she does very much remember Scott's threat to sign her up for it.. and knowing Scott, he may actually just have done that.

Maybe that's why she can't help but turn towards Shoto, asking him: "Are you part of the cooking club?"

Maybe if he is, she can still wriggle out of having to actually do anything with the cooking club.. Just as long as Scott doesn't find out..

Shoto glances over, not really assuming anyone coming close is coming close to talk to him until they do. Sadly, for her, he may not be the way out of her mess, but he's happy to maybe be a segue to it, unknowingly. "No, but I'd thought of joining. Someone was teaching me, but they've since gone home. Are you?"

"Definitely not."

.. she might have answered a little bit too quickly there. Like she didn't want the mental image of her among the cooking club to live in his head for even a single moment.. That's some true dedication to not wanting to join on her end, really.

"Someone I know tried to sign me up, but I've been avoiding it. It'd be a total disaster." The girl doesn't seem to add why it would be, though. Instead she seems to completely brush by that part, not even really stopping with the talking before she's already adding: "I'm sure they'd let you join if you wanted to though. They seem like.. social people."

Even if that slight pause before the moniker of social people might make those two words seem almost weirdly ominous..

It's honestly really cool seeing what the new members can do.

Scott's already figured out that it's Shoto in front of him and he watches with keen interest as the other teen brings both fire and ice to his chest. Dude's incredible, honestly, not only being able to control ice, but fire as well. That's like two elements in one. Mostly people only master one, right? That's how it usually goes. Still, he probably should be more hesitant about touching the fire, but he honestly trusts Shoto. He's a nice guy.

Plus, it's obvious that he has control over his powers. Scott knows what it looks like when people don't have control, like him or Shinjiro. He's effortlessly holding both elements at the center of his chest without struggling or anything.

"Sure, okay."

Scott reaches forward with his hand to touch the elements.

Considering Scott is someone who knows Izuku, Shoto feels right at home allowing him to experience what fire feels like, without it taking a few layers of skin off, too. Shoto has worked long and hard to be able to do this, and only through the grace of the aforementioned classmate snapping him out of his angsty teenager phase. The flames themselves graze over his skin, but are like setting said finger into a cool fog almost. When Shoto breathes out, he breathes as if he's standing in winter for a breath or two as he keeps them stable. "This is my favourite use of my quirk. I'm glad I got to show you." It's not something he pulls out of the hat very often.

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Like man, when is he going to be able to say that he touched fire like this again? Unlikely. So, he continues to keep his hand in those controlled flames, eyes entranced behind his glasses as he watches the fire dance along his skin.

"Admitting that you like showing off?"

Scott teases lightly, but there's appreciation and slight wonder in his voice. It helps that Shoto's ability feels a bit closer to something like a mutant, especially compared to some of the others here. His 'Quirk,' a natural born ability like his optic blasts. "How long did it take you to control this?"

Maybe it could give him an idea of how long it might take him to control his powers, even if it's unlikely. Impossible.
