TWAT Club mingle

Who: Scott Summers and members of TWAT (Teenagers With Abilities and Talents) Club. Or any teenager (or if you look like one) 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 and it's definitely required for you to come and hang out and meet new members. Or you saw one of the flyers around town that mentioned about having a meeting and that newbies are welcome to stop by. 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 do you keep coming early!!

Well, anyone that is one of those people that likes coming early to events, Scott's putting you to work. Yep, immediately volunteered. Maybe it's just helping to get the food out on the tables, or bringing 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. At this point, he might be relying on people to show up early to help...

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 after Scott gives a relatively decent speech about welcoming new people to TWAT Club and to have fun, people are more than welcome to dig into the spread laid out on the tables. There's the usual fanfare like chips and dip, cookies, and pizza, but there's also fruit sandwiches that Scott and Kotone made together. There's a vegetable plate as well, but with an added note that says 'for you healthy nerds,' although that note mysteriously disappears after a while (with Kotone shoving a carrot stick in Scott's mouth).

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, along with an underlying encouragement to help others with their powers if applicable.

There's also music being played! Thanks to Kotone's MP3 player, a mix of electronica and J-Pop from the mid-to-late 2000s is playing from a stereo, so hopefully that's your jam. It will be your jam, because those are the only songs playing. You're welcome to dance as well, Scott definitely is... in his own way:



He's having fun, especially since Kotone is right with him and copying his movements. No one can feel embarrassed now. Come and join--]


after club;
[Feel like being a nice person and want to help clean up? Nice. Scott isn't forcing anyone to stay after, but he appreciates the assistance (and maybe even expects it at this point). 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.

Or maybe you just want to sit on the ground and enjoy the evening a little. He's not judging. There's a nice little sunset settling in and you have the rooftop to enjoy it. Grab one of your new found friends and watch it together.]


[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--]

Yeah… Not that I know of, either.

[ Arriving in Aldrip has been giving her a few revelations lately. ]

Maybe groups of people with unusual powers are everywhere, huh? But everyone seems more open about theirs here than they would be elsewhere.

[He meant just normal dance clubs, but that's a good point too.]

Maybe...magic was real in my world but most people didn't believe in it. I didn't until I saw it for myself.

I think some people here are from places where its more normal or obvious? I think 'mutants' with powers are normal where Scott and Kurt come from. People don't like them, though.

[ … Wha— ]

Do they really call them mutants?
solitarysoul: commisioned art (Default)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-09 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so. You'd have to ask them, we didn't have mutations like that where I came from.

[Just creepy murder happy ones.]
cupidsammo: (pic#17464148)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-09 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, same...

... It just doesn't feel like a pleasant thing to call someone.
solitarysoul: (Scope)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-09 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...there's stuff that mutates people and things where I come from, but its much different. And very bad.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-09 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "And very bad". Koharu's mouth purses into a flat line, biting back any questions that may have crossed her mind. ]

Oh—maybe... we could talk about something else.

[ No ruining the vibes, Koharu!! ]

Like... you said you've seen magic before? Do you know any too?

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-09 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, that'd be great.

[Its been over a year but those memories are still too raw.]

I know a bit...most of its for combat. I'm not really that great at it and I don't use it much.
cupidsammo: (pic#17456678)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-09 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But that still sounds pretty neat! You could always practice more, right?
solitarysoul: commisioned art (hmm)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...I guess I could. I don't really like to do it much, it makes my head hurt.

[And him go crazy.]

I only learned it in the last few days in my world anyway, so I never got used to it.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-10 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh.

Damn!! She really keeps fumbling this conversation!!! ]


Erm— In that case, I don't recommend pushing yourself, either. Real magic must be harder than the stories make it seem...
solitarysoul: commisioned art (Default)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-10 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
W-well...I think it depends on what sort of magic. Or, um, what world you come from. I know someone from another world and it doesn't do that to them.

[Hm.]

But I also met people in my world who did it more and, well, I guess I don't know if they got over it or just got used to it.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-10 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Like... maybe it's something that's straining at first but gets easier with time.

[ hm hm. yes, that makes sense. ]

Kind of like how exercising is. Except you're exercising, umm... Well, I don't actually know what part of your body you use most with a spell. The brain...?
solitarysoul: (Solitary Soul)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-10 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, I guess. Or the soul or something like that.

I don't really see a need for me to do that, though.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With a small hum, Koharu gives a gentle nod. ]

That's probably okay, too. I definitely don't know any.

[ And she's here, so. ]
solitarysoul: commisioned art (Default)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-10 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
There's lots of people who don't have any powers or magic or whatever, anyway.
cupidsammo: (pic#17453886)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2024-11-11 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... Maybe, yeah.

[ But— ]

It's felt like everyone I've met so far has had something unique about them, though.
solitarysoul: commisioned art (hmm)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2024-11-11 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess...but that's not always magic or some power.
