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--]

i. food table

[Fauna's... well, a little awkward here. She showed up because Scott invited her. So she's pretty sure she's welcome.... but she's still a little nervous. She's spending most of her time hanging around the edges, looking ready to bolt if someone comes for her looking hostile.

But as should be obvious by now, there's one thing that's grabbing her attention. And that's the food table. She is, as per usual, shoving food into her face like she's afraid it'll vanish if she takes too long. Pizza, sandwiches, anything she can grab.

But if anyone else is around, and doesn't seem too hostile to her, she might speak her mind:]

This club really needs a better name. Even their "ex-men" thing is better than that.

ii.a. hanging out

[Fauna's been looking around, watching people show off their powers. And as she does, something's eating at her. Something she has to protest. Scott shoots eye lasers. Some of these others have... guns they point at their heads... to summon things. God, that's still so fucked up. But still, there's so many powers, and they all have one thing in common:]

Why are you all so boring with your powers? Where's your style?

[She folds her arms, looking judgmental at whoever's showing off right now...]

ii.b. assistance

[Look. At this point, she's putting her money where her mouth is. She demonstrated her own transformation, complete with pose and transformation call. What this means is that now, as people are showing off their powers... there is now an armored superhero dressed like an onmyoji watching. She's offering advice...]

... Come on. You gotta pose.

[... well, it's some kind of advice.]

[cupidsammo]

one; hanging and fooding
[ Koharu isn't what anyone could call a social butterfly, but she isn't wallflowering, at least. She'll say hello if approached, but otherwise, is spending most of the time observing from a respectful distance, though she does eventually hover around the food table. She picks out a fruit sandwich—a nice reminder of home—and from there, well...

She goes back to observing, and can't help but notice one thing. ]

... This is a lot of older music, huh...

two; showing off
[ If there's anyone who's putting on a display of their particular talents, there's a good chance Koharu is around somewhere watching. As someone from a (mostly) normal world, she's fascinated that some humans are capable of performing magic, or... whatever it is they may call it.

So, should anyone do anything even a little out of the ordinary, Koharu looks on with an almost childish awe. ]

W—whoa! ... What was that? What did you do?

three; the etc./wildcard option
[ if you wanna do some other activity or catch Koharu while helping clean afterwards, feel free to drop a comment! or hit me up and i can write you a starter :> ]

[theskyaccepts]

[A - Food and Hanging Out]

[For the moment, Tsuna is content to watch the dancing from the sidelines with a plate of food. Dancing is not something that Tsuna has ever been particularly good at, but that's just one more thing on the list really (And there's a good chance of your foot being stepped on if he does, to say nothing of any other chaos on the dance floor). He's here more for the music. It's nice to hear stuff from home, even if he doesn't recognize all of it.]

Where did you think they even found this? The music I mean.

[B - Power Demonstration]

[Tsuna doesn't typically show off his power. It's not really designed for that. And it is a reminder of the legacy that he's inherited, in all its bloody glory. But he still does, in the spirit of the club.

There's a flash, and the ring on his finger has transformed into a pair of Red gloves. There is also a bright orange flame burning in the center of Tsuna's forehead, and his eyes have taken on more of a soft orange glow, as opposed to his usual brown.]

It's, uh, called Hyper Dying Will Mode. The flames are Dying Will flames.

[C - Clean up]

[Tsuna usually sticks around to help with clean up. Or at least, makes an effort to. He's easily distracted by the sunset and his usual sway towards laziness. But he's doing his best to pick up left over plates and dragging a large garbage bag behind him.]

Wow, we kind of leave a mess, huh?

[Additional plotting can be done at urbaninja]

two

[nightwild]

I transformed. What's it look like?

[duh, koharu]

[cupidsammo]

[ uhhh. ]

An... outfit change?

[ Well, more like a costume change. Which in itself isn't magic, exactly, but it did happen so suddenly. ]

But it was very flashy! You only see things like it on TV.

[nightwild]

I've heard that a few times now.... I'm pretty sure we take care not to get on TV, though.

[cupidsammo]

Well, I—imagine not.

[ Fantastical things are usually portrayed as something that tries to avoid the public eye, right?

... Thinks her, she realizes. ]

It's just because they're written as stories and then acted out. As... pretend.

[nightwild]

[There's a brief cloud of darkness, and then she's her normal self again!]

... And people like watching that stuff? I guess... people do like heroes, but...

[cupidsammo]

[ ....... ?!

Without warning, that gets a mild startle out of her, but after that brief mental fumble (alongside the mental 'uh, heroes?'), she does manage: ]

Yeah, it's really popular... Maybe not everyone watches television, but you've at least read stories, right?

[nightwild]

Not really. When I was a kid, I read those storybooks about Abe no Seimei and those sorts of things, but... I wasn't really a big reader.

[new strategy unlocked: let's try not traumadumping on the new weirdo.]

[cupidsammo]

Ohhh...

[ She trails off, briefly falls silent, then: ]

No manga, either?

[nightwild]

Not really. Isn't that stuff bad?

[NORMAL TEENAGER THINGS TO SAY]

[battlefieldbrat]

hangin out

[kakashi never seems to want to show off any of his powers at these events. though tonight, with some goading from various watchers, he shrugs and steps off the edge of the roof.

...and then a couple seconds later, steps back onto the roof as though nothing happened. wall walking, so simple a child could do it.]

Is that sufficient for "showing off"?

[he doesn't even sound impressed with himself. just dry as the desert, here.]

hangin out pt 2 electric boogaloo

[later, kakashi finds himself near the stereo, watching scott and the others dance. or, he thinks they're dancing? it's not like anything he's ever seen, not that he's seen much dancing outside of things like traditional festivals.

he stares rather intently at the dancers, not joining in but merely...studying. call him out on his creepiness, if you please.]

after hours

[as everything is slowly cleaned up, kakashi sits on the edge of the roof, staring out into the sunset. he swings his legs absent-mindedly, inadvertently looking more child-like than usual in the process. it wouldn't be very advisable to point that out, though.

if he senses anyone nearby...]

It's nice, isn't it? Before the stars come out, the sky looks just like home.

[cupidsammo]

H- huh?

[ WHAT ]

What do you mean “bad stuff”…?

[nightwild]

[Hm.

There's a lot to say here, and she doesn't want to get deep into it, but she hates lying. So! Let's just say something that's technically true.]

I always got told that stuff rots your brain.

[cupidsammo]

Um.

[ What, the sequel. Koharu stares dumbfounded, briefly. ]

Reading some is usually okay.

[nightwild]

Huh.

[She has to think about this.]

... Well, I never really tried or anything. Those things cost money, after all.

one

[solitarysoul]

Is it?

[Wallflower, meet wallflower. Levi prefers to keep to himself but he happens to walk by Koharu as she speaks up.]

I don't think we had any music like this where I came from.

[cupidsammo]

I guess that’s true…

[ Koharu wasn’t super invested in television or manga or anything herself, but it still feels like a shame to never indulge in anything like it. ]

Well—that’s okay. I mean—the real thing is probably more… exciting?

[cupidsammo]

Oh.

[ Welp. That’s a touch awkward, but attempts to wave it off quickly with a gesture of her hand. ]

N- not that it’s bad! I just expected something more… recent, given the crowd.

[solitarysoul]

I guess that depends on your view. Or, uh, the time you came from? Maybe its recent to them. I guess it must have come from one of their worlds.

[He's never really looked for music here but its probably as scattershot as books and movies were.]

[cupidsammo]

That’s true…

[ Right. She honestly hasn’t thought too hard about it since, but she does recall the time discrepancy… thing coming up in a prior conversation. ]

I guess I forgot… Erm. I’ll retract that statement.

[solitarysoul]

O-oh, I didn't mean to imply you were being insulting or anything.

[cupidsammo]

No, no.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Not that it really matters... The atmosphere is still pretty lively! We definitely don't have any clubs like this back home, so—it's nice!

[solitarysoul]

We didn't have things like this where I came from either. Or, um, at least not that I knew.

[Not that he knew much of civilian life outside of Prehevil.]
