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--]

Hanging out

Elizabeth shows up a bit late to the meeting, she isn't quite certain about things involving age since all the time she spent in a realm without time and sometimes that goes against the contracts needed to enter places. Still no horrible forces smite her upon entry, so she peers around, and nods.

Looking around she notes any powers used, but doesn't seem to feel the need to use hers. No one is challenging her directly, and there are no bears stating that this is a competition to find the manliest man of all time, so she is content till she does notice a challenge. One that she feels she has not engaged in in a long time, since her date at the shops of Iwatodai Station.

Pulling up a seat and moves to the food table, she attacks this challenge with the gusto of a 6 ton trash compactor.

"Hrm... A club used to cook. What fascinating magic."

.. wow.

Scott has invited some real freaks, Ange thinks. Like the entire point isn't just to gather the local freaks, which is exactly why Scott invited her too in the first place..

But even though Ange may be a freak, at least she isn't devouring all the food on the table in record time. It's like the other is sitting there as some sort of participant in a food speed eating competition. Ange may look nonplussed on the outside, but she's pretty surprised at the sight on the inside..

"That's not all going to fit in your stomach, you know," she lightly points out after watching a little bit of this.

Were that it was more about the end goal of being fulfilled and less trying to understand why people work so hard to eat so much in some cases. If she is going to be trapped in this odd prison, she may as well work more on understanding the deadly sins she isn't experienced with.

Elizabeth looks up and ponders, "One will never know unless one tries. Still, I am more trying to understand the experience of it than trying to sate any hunger."

She looks over and motions to a chair, "Some of this is quite good if you wish to try it."

"I'm not that hungry."

But even though Ange answers with that relatively easily, she is bothering to sit down on the chair the other gestured at all the same. She isn't really picking at the food yet, but-- who knows, that might happen too. For now it does really seem like she's telling the truth about not being all that hungry though, since Ange doesn't look like she's even looking at it.

Instead she's glancing over at Elizabeth, trying to place this new person.

".. also, did you just imply you're trying to understand the experience of.. eating?" Because that's a very strange implication, Elizabeth!

She nods, "Yes. I do not do it often. The last time I did it was with my guest, when he took me out into the human world. Though I did have fifteen or sixteen meals then."

Elizabeth isn't going to force this girl to eat, frankly, she knows people eat, she knows some eat enough that it became a sin and spawned demons but that is about it.

"I know that it is linked to joy in some, despair in others, and general survival. I was hoping to gain some insite from it into.... Well... It isn't that important."

Going on about ancient titans that were awoken by crazy humans isn't something she really believes is a first conversation thing. That's probably fourth or fifth, you know, after you've had a propper fight to bond over.

.. Sheesh.

Ange is kind of imagining what it's like to eat fifteen or sixteen meals in a row.. It must have been even more difficult to watch for whoever Elizabeth's guest was. Considering he took her to the human world, Ange imagines that person at least must have been human.

Though it does leave a very obvious question right there on the table, huh. And with Ange being Ange, and nosy on top of it, there's no way she's just going to ignore it. Instead she bluntly asks:

"So what are you then?"

Clearly not human, but that means there's still a whole lot of possible answers, if past experience is anything to go by. And so far nothing Elizabeth has said has given her a real clue to narrow down the possibilities.

Elizabeth taps her chin pondering for a moment, "To say I am an avatar of power with no context would be meaningless."

She nods then looks at the other girl, there is no good way of explaining things, and a bad way would probably require far more forethought than Elizabeth could muster, so she simply blurts out the truth.

"I am an elevator attendant who has been woefully neglectful at her duties since she left the Velvet Room!"

"Ah, yeah," Ange answers, sounding completely unfazed, even when she adds: "I've always known that every single elevator attendant out there was secretly an avatar of some great power."

.. you know. Like it's normal!

Which it is of course not, hence why she sounds so dry about it. It's not like she's faking the lack of surprise though - Elizabeth's story sounds exactly like the sort of thing Ange would run into back home. Ridiculous stuff is more or less par for the course now.

"Does that mean the elevator attendant is some sort of cover? Trying to seem like a normal person, or what?"

Well, as far as Elizabeth knows, that is completely normal. She has experience with exactly one elevator, the Elevator of Destiny, so she nods entheusiastically.

"Well, our guest was a normal person so, and as the Velvet Room is based on his challenge, it formed as the Elevator of Destiny. So, we take the form of humans to more easily facilitate our guest's comfort."

.. Puzzling.

But in a way that's kind of interesting to Ange. Maybe it's the part of her that can't help but love digging into mysteries at this point. If you do that sort of thing for long enough, you kind of start craving it.

"So you're a supernatural entity."

Of sorts. Ange isn't exactly sure of the sort yet, since it all still sounds kind of weird and vague.

"A supernatural entity that's putting people through challenges. Or.. helping them with challenges?" Elizabeth doesn't seem evil just yet. Not like the witches back home. But Ange also knows that looks and first impressions can definitely be deceiving when it comes to that, and she doesn't want to fall for it all over again. It'd just make her feel stupid.

"Yes, I am an avatar of power, beyond that, I can not articulate in words that... Would mean anything to you."

She shrugs, Elizabeth isn't trying to be weird and vague, just she hasn't really gotten out much, and most of the time she WAS out she was alone, and explaining things to yourself is a kind of silly that she rarely is.

"My master's master represented humanity in several games against.... One of the great old ones. My master was his way to keep the competition fair. We attendants just handle the direct interactions with our guests."

She pauses, "I may be breaking some rules in trying to keep the titan my guest sealed... Sealed."

Ange - uncharitably - is definitely assuming the other is being vague on purpose. Even though Elizabeth has an entirely valid excuse, Ange is so used to people being vague to her on purpose that she totally assumes this is the same thing..

Though Elizabeth is offering up more information after that, so Ange doesn't say anything too dry or judgemental. She's still being fed information all the same here, after all, and it's actually interesting information.

One can tell that by Ange's expression. A mix of curiosity and surprise sneaks into her poker face, lessening the latter.

"A game?"

God, how many times has she heard that term by now. Not only in her world, but from other people's mouths too..

"Seriously? Just how many people showed up here after having been in situations like that before back home? You're the umpteenth person I've heard something like this from." Which is interesting, yes! But it's also confusing. Why is this the common point between so many of the people present in this place, her included?

"Oh? So many people here are involved in the games that gods and the powers above them play to keep from being bored... Or from actually enacting their duties in some cases. Though, every game Nyarlathotep is distracted from is less time he is trying to awaken Azathoth I suppose."

Still she ponders this, that these games are popular. She was aware of a few of them that her master was involved in, and several between chaos and order, but honestly, those were in other realities so she was glad to only have a passing understanding of them.

"I will assume that most people here are players in those games though... Not... Indirect support. There seem to be far fewer of us than actual players from what I understand."
