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--]

i—setup

[Rooftop party is a great idea, in theory, but in practice, it requires a lot of work in the setup department. Yu doesn't mind helping out, to be honest—he's been trying to keep himself busy recently anyway, to keep his mind off of things. It's a nice opportunity.

He had arrived early with food—croquettes and tamagoyaki—but without tables to put them on…

…

Well, that's why he's down here now, a folding table held aloft in both arms as he stares at the closed door in front of him. Anyone else going up gets a little nod in greeting and:]

Can you get the door for me?

ii—hanging out

[The cornhole game is a throwback. Yu regards it with a small chuckle, but doesn't really make a move to play; he can be pulled into it, if someone has their heart set on it, but he had enough of the game when he first got here.

Most of what he's doing is watching other people show off their powers—he'll ask questions and strike up conversation in the process. He pulls out Izanagi every so often, but mostly what he does is show off its physical attacks. There's one particular instance where he casts Zio over the empty lawn area near the building. Only one, because after that, there's a giant singe mark in the grass.

He does, at some point, summon Neko Shogun instead, and he'll pull that Persona out if someone gets hurt. Or he might summon Trumpeter because who doesn't love a massive skeleton with a horn and wings, amirite?? Anyway, he might pull out others as well.]

iii—after

[Yu helps with cleanup for a little while, collecting trash and hauling tables back downstairs. Who thought it was a good idea to use the roof, again??

Anyway, once cleanup is mostly done, he's back on the roof again, watching the sunset over the city. The building itself is reminiscent of Yasogami, but with the view…it makes him think more of Tokyo. In any case, Yu is sitting at the edge of the building, elbows resting on his thighs as he takes in the view. He's content to be alone at the moment, but he'll welcome company too, offering them a place beside him at the building's edge.]

[ In truth, Minato was reluctant to join the meeting, though he got the sense that if he didn't show up Scott would drag him there by his ankles. It wasn't so bad, even if he primarily kept to himself.

He steps out onto the roof. The last time he was here, it was just him and Kotone on that March 5th morning. Carefully, he makes his way over to Yu, but doesn't sit down just yet. ]

...the view is nice here, isn't it?

[ It's his way of asking for permission to join, or whether Yu prefers to be left alone. If the latter, he understands. ]

[Minato's presence is a welcome surprise...though Yu can't help but feel a little bit of concern for him, all the same. He bites back an impulse to ask if he ever found his friend, at least for now -- it's not exactly a considerate way to greet someone.]

Mm, it is, [he agrees, quietly gesturing beside him at the edge of the building, in answer to the unasked question.] Reminds me a little of home.

[He's not sure anymore whether he means Tokyo, or Inaba. Both? Japan as a whole? He's quiet for a second, thoughtful, but once Minato is settled, he ventures a question:] How've you been?

[ "Home," says Yu, and it's a place that Minato wouldn't be able to identify either. The Iwatodai Dorm came rather close, but it's someplace that felt more like a base of operations at times as opposed to an actual home.

But "home" is wherever one feels the safest and most at-ease, isn't it?

Minato steps a bit closer to Yu and takes a seat at the other's side. His feet dangle off the edge of the building. He glances down at them, also silent for a little while as he pulls together an answer to Yu's question. ]

It's been okay.

[ Noncommittal as ever. He's been a little withdrawn since Sha-Ming's return, which isn't necessarily out of the ordinary for him. While he's relieved about Sha-Ming's return, the lack of details surrounding his disappearance have him troubled.

Somehow, he manages a small smile. He's not here to speak about his own worries after all. ]

...you?

Hm, [is his first response, quiet and thoughtful, not just to Minato's question but to the rest of what he says. Or-- doesn't say, more accurately. How odd that they're both like that -- that they're all like that, in a way, so eager to unravel other peoples' problems and so reluctant to share their own.

... and of course he wonders whether Minato sees it in him, the same way he sees the opposite.

As for how he's been? That's so much harder to answer, especially in a simple way. Everything has gotten so complicated, so painful...and he still has a lot of feelings to sort out about it.]

About the same, I think, [is the answer he finally settles on, giving Minato a faintly knowing look.] But it's nice, coming to something like this.

[Being with everyone like this, may be closer to what he actually means.]
