TWAT Club mingle

[laserguy]

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--]

[Wait, what?]

Are you certain? I'm not even sure if I can even shoot ice powers!

[nightwild]

You said you can freeze an area, right?

[or did she misunderstand...]

[thenicerone]

Yes I can but...

[She said with a mumble or two.]

Not at when it comes to freezing others!

[nightwild]

It's not a problem. I'm fine with the cold, and I'm not gonna be easy to hit.

Or would it work better if I transformed first?

[thenicerone]

Transformed?

[Blink blink]

...Into what, may I ask?

[nightwild]

Wild Change!

[Look, there's a whole involved transformation sequence, complete with posing here. But after she poses, she's covered in darkness. And when the darkness clears, she's an entirely new armored figure, wearing a fox mask...

And she looks back at Yukina, like that explains everything.]

[thenicerone]

[That wasn't what she was expecting. She had seen a lot of things in the demon and the human world. She had seen plenty of transformations but to see something like this was a little new to her.

As she stared for a moment or two, she couldn't help but give a giggle.]

Well, I suppose that explains a few things.

[nightwild]

[first of all how dare you, I'm a Kamen Rider, not a power ranger

Night Wild shrugs. She's not sure what it explains, but...]

You don't have to worry. In this form, I doubt you could hurt me if you wanted to. I'm strong.

[thenicerone]

[Go, go, Kamen Riders!

However, with a sigh of relief, she was right. That said, she gave a nod or two.]

Then I think I can give my ice powers a try. Just let me know when you are ready and uh...I'll try to freeze you?

[nightwild]

[She begins to levitate a couple of inches off the ground, ready to dodge swiftly. She still intends to not get hit, after all.]

Ready.

[thenicerone]

[With her moving above the ground, Yukina took in a deep breath. She had never tried to do anything like this before, but she will try her best. She had seen an ice demon before who tried to attack others. Perhaps she could do the same.

Taking her hand out toward her, she focused all her energy onto them. Mumbling to herself, there were some tiny ice shards aiming toward her.]

[nightwild]

[Night Wild... frankly, almost doesn't even notice the ice shards. Those are tiny.

Maybe... Maybe she should have focused on power, first.

Still, she floats out of the way.]

You can go bigger than that, can't you?

[thenicerone]

I'm not sure but...I can try.

[She never tried to do anything like this before! Give her a moment! While there was a slight look of frustration on her end, she didn't want to give up! Taking in a deep breath, she tried to shoot something a little bit bigger.

While the shards were definitely larger than before, it was still lackluster. So much so, they barely hit Night Wild.]

[nightwild]

[She just sort of... lets them plink off her armor.

Hm.]

... Maybe... we should start by working on your power, actually.

[thenicerone]

[In return, the poor ice maiden found herself sinking her head onto her shoulders. She wasn't a fighter, she knew that. And yet, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed about the ordeal.]

Then...how do we start with that...?

[She said in a low voice.]

[nightwild]

[Fauna returns to her human form, though she punches a fist into her palm in what she hopes looks like an encouraging manner...]

It's exercise. If you want to get better at something, you gotta practice it. If you wanna make your magic stronger, you gotta practice it.

Start throwing ice until you drop, then get up and do it again.

[thenicerone]

R-Right, I'll do my best!

[She wasn't too sure about that but if it'll get her to improve on her skills? She will do it. Without another moment to lose, that's when she attempted to throw as many ice shards as she could. Were they getting bigger? No but it didn't stop her from trying.

However, this isn't what she was used to. It doesn't take long before she starts getting tired. After a moment or two, that's when she fell to her knees before letting out a pant.]

How...how was that?

[nightwild]

You've never done this before, right? So I'd say that was pretty good... probably.

[She doesn't know, herself. But. She claps Yukina on the back.]

You won't get better fast, but if you put in time and effort, you will get better.

[thenicerone]

That's...

[She said before taking a huge breath in. Indeed, she had to practice in order to get better. However, as she tried to stand up, she just mumbled to herself before looking at her hands.]

...something I need to work on. Fighting isn't what I'm best at...

[nightwild]

[Fauna holds out a hand, helping pull Yukina upright...]

... Why do you want to learn to fight so bad?

[thenicerone]

[She gave a pause or two. As she continued to catch her breath, she didn't know how to say it out loud. There were a lot of things running through her mind but she eventually settled with this:]

...If I am to live here, I have to learn how to defend myself. I don't want to make others upset because I can't fight.

[nightwild]

... I see.

[She thinks about that, but...]

... This is just my unsolicited advice, but... If that's your reason, I think you should give up.

[thenicerone]

[Now that was something she didn't expect. With that, she widen her eyes in shock.]

...Should I? I...Why is that?

[nightwild]

This place is full of strong people. No one's going to mind if you don't want to fight. Or if anyone does, I'll kick their asses myself.

But when you fight... It's not like you can't fight for others. But fighting "so others don't get upset"... Isn't that the same as saying you're being pressured into it? You don't want to, but you're afraid of how others will think?

[She shakes her head.]

That's not a reason to fight. That sort of weak determination won't last seconds in a real fight.

[thenicerone]

I...I suppose not.

[And yet, she really didn't want to leave herself out in the open. She was right though; she didn't have that same fighting spirit as her brother or the rest of her friends. Her determination came from trying her best to help others through healing. Giving a small sigh, she wasn't sure what to do.

But...]

...It's funny, that is the sort of thing a friend would say.
