TWAT club meeting mingle

[laserguy]

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--]

[Scott winces in sympathy there. Yeah, having a cop as a dad while you're running around as a masked vigilante? Not a great combination there. Hopefully her dad doesn't find out? Or find out when the time is right... whenever that will be. He's not quite sure how that conversation will play out, so he just hopes the best for her.]

A band? Didn't know you played. [He smiles, head tilting to the side as he suddenly realizes something.] Guess I asked you enough questions though. Wasn't I supposed to show you my powers?

[arachnerina]

[She's still on the "he can never find out" bandwagon. Jokes on her, but she'll find out what the future has in store for her later.]

Oh, yeah. I'm the drummer. [And she would absolutely launch more into that, except he reminded her of what was agreed upon minutes ago now. He almost got away with not showing off! At least, until she remembered herself.]

Right! You do. Thanks for reminding me.

[laserguy]

[He's definitely making Gwen play the drums for him at some point or just attend one of her shows even if she's the only person from her band here. A solo run or whatever. It's pretty cool, honestly, even if he's not the biggest band guy around. He'll listen to music as long as it's not totally lame.

But yeah, powers, guess it's his time.

It's not like he's hiding them and he's mentally in a good spot when it comes to his overall feelings about his optic blasts. That journey had its ups and downs and Scott is willing to admit that they might shift again next month or whatever, but right now, he's okay. Besides, he said he was going to. So, as Scott stares up into the sky, he reaches up to pull his glasses off, letting his eyes open and--

Predictably, two bright red beams rush out from his eyes, a whooshing noise accompanying his powers as he continues to blast upward for a few more seconds.]

[arachnerina]

[She doesn't exactly get to play much these days, since she doesn't have a drum set of her own here. She tries to sneak to the music club room when she can, just to get it out of her system. Even if she did manage to buy her own set, she's not sure her tiny living space with Peter would fit it, anyway.

But powers!!

She's heard a brief summary of what to expect, but that still didn't fully put into words exactly what it was like. She can't help but gasp at the sudden blast of it, not really prepared just how extreme the force of energy that it was. And he contained all that, just with his glasses??]

Whoa.

[laserguy]

[As those seconds pass, Scott closes his eyes to immediately shut off those beams of pure force, once again contained behind his eyelids before carefully slotting his sunglasses back on. It actually is kind of nice to let loose like that, the feeling getting him to sigh quietly at first, before smiling at Gwen with a somewhat confident grin.]

Pretty cool, huh?

[Even if he can't fully control it... being able to impress Gwen-- Spider-Woman is still neat.]

[arachnerina]

-- Pretty cool? Dude, that was so awesome!

[Don't mind her, slightly geeking out as she considers the science behind it, the implications of what it means, and understanding better why his glasses were so important.]

And your glasses just casually hold all of that back all the time?

[And here she thought her webshooters were a cool piece of tech.]

[laserguy]

[Yeah, awesome. He wonders if he should mention that Peter reacted similarly to her, but he'll save it for later.]

Yeah, pretty much. [Unfortunately he sort of spaced out when Professor McCoy explained the science behind it and why it works, but.] It's made out of ruby quartz and that stops my powers from blasting everything in front of me.

[That's the most important part.]

[arachnerina]

That's really amazing! I'm serious. [Sometimes she wished she could do something dramatic like that. She was just really strong and really sticky. The web-tech was something she had to create, and she got the idea from Oscorp anyway.]

So you have to keep those on? Like-- all the time? Is there nothing else that stops the blasts? [Except for like his eyelids, of course. That sounded...exhausting, though, having to keep those glasses on all the time. But she knew what it was like to have to mentally be on guard, every second of every day. If she didn't mind her strength, she would break everything she touched. She would stick to everything around her. She would kill anyone she punched. It was tough, never getting to really relax.]

[laserguy]

They're on all the time.

[Scott lifts one shoulder up in a small shrug, some of his cheer diminishing because... yeah. He always has to wear his sunglasses. Has to go to bed with them, although he's learned how to take full on showers without opening his eyes once. So, that's something.

But. Adapting. That's what he had to do.]

It's cool though. I get to be an asshole to anyone that asks why I wear glasses indoors.
