Everybody's Working for the Weekend!

WHO: #1: Peter Parker [Closed]; #2 Tokidoki Rikudoh and Noboru Gongenzaka [Closed]; #3: [OPEN!]
WHAT: Weekend antics! Whether it's getting to hear Peter's crimefighting stories, fighting deep-set mental trauma, or running around Soleil shopping for sewing materials and spending time with friends, Orihime is guaranteed to never be bored.
WHEN: January 19th-20th, 2019
WHERE: #1: On Campus, Peter's Dorm Room; #2 & #3: Soleil


[Log #1: Peter Parker and Orihime Inoue]

[When Orihime arrives at Peter's dorm, she has a backpack slung over her shoulder, sagging heavily with the sheer weight of all the soda she brought. She couldn't decide on what to get from the vending machine, so she just pumped in her coins and got one of everything. Why not? She can splurge for this.]

[As she waits, it hits her that maybe...maybe...she really shouldn't be hanging out in a boy's room. It's not very proper, and she wouldn't want people to start getting the wrong idea. But no one seems to be around to take note (yet), so...maybe it's fine. She's heard that boys and girls sometimes room together, so maybe that kind of thing just isn't a big deal in France.]

[It's fine.]

[Besides, she's excited to hear about his stories. A real superhero...! And he's so young, too! This is going to be amazing and spectacular.]


--------------------


[Log #2: Noboru Gongenzaka, Tokidoki Rikugou, Orihime Inoue]

[After meeting with White Chain, Orihime's definitely glad for a chance to catch her breath and be around friendly faces. Tokidoki is always positive and cheerful, and she's looking forward to spending more time with him. While she's never met Gongenzaka, he seemed pretty polite when she spoke with him over the network.]

[She waits for them just outside the school gates, gloved hands behind her back, nuzzling her nose into her scarf and exhaling to warm her face with her breath. She's got a list of measurements and notes in her pocket so she can get all the things she needs for her massive sewing project. If she can earn enough, maybe she can invest in that runic armor equipment that Gunvolt told her about.]

[Hearing footsteps crunch in the snow, she perks up and turns to greet the first person to arrive.]


Good morning! Are you ready to go?

--------------------


[Log #3: [OPEN!]]

[There are plenty of people who seemed interested in going to the sewing supply store in town to choose the materials for their formal clothes, so Orihime is more than happy to walk them around and point out good bargains, as well as mentioning the pros and cons of good quality cloth versus something cheaper but easier to clean.]

[But she could be spotted anywhere in town, especially near the bakery where she stares in awe at the display case through the window. Someday, she'll have a fancy cake store of her own. Or at least a part-time job at a place like this! ...Maybe... Now that she knows about the impending doom of Nightfall, a cake shop isn't as important to her future as it used to be. She should be sad about that, but...she's not. It feels good to do something important for a change, and to get strong enough to protect the people she cares about.]

[ Peter had much the same thought after they'd ended their conversation. Not that it matters for him? Like, any gender in his room would potentially be a romantic interest? But it sure seems different inviting a girl to his room. If she hadn't seemed so excited (or if he'd thought of it sooner), then he'd have asked her to come to the common room instead.

But nope, they're meeting at his room, it's probably fine? He's not in there when she arrives, but she doesn't have long to wait. A few seconds later, he comes up behind her with a great big bowl of popcorn. (He's not sure how much she eats, but he already knows his appetite is massive.) ]


Oh hey, you're here already. I was just finishing up.

[ He's running a little late, mostly because he was working on something and lost track of time. The popcorn is 100% American at least - he snuck it back after their mission, since apparently France doesn't have this kind of thing. What kind of crazy country doesn't have microwave popcorn? It's rude.

Anyway. He sort of double-takes at her bulging backpack when he realizes what's clinking around in there. ]


-- Is all of that for us?

[ Hey, he could probably put a dent in it. But. He'll try not to.

He nudges the door open (it was unlocked in case she stopped by early), and kind of nods for her to follow him in. It sure is a dorm room! Not too messy - he'd picked up before she came - but with obvious piles of junk stacked up on the unused bed. He's using his lack of roommate as a temporary workspace.

For sitting, he's piled up some pillows on the floor in front of an ungodly ancient TV. Currently, it appears to be functional? He's frankensteined a DVD player to the top of it, though both the TV and the player have wires sticking out everywhere. A work in progress. ]


Yeah? Is popcorn not really a thing in Japan?
made_up_names: (it's beautiful)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You've been here three years? Dude, that's awesome.

[ He's still like. Ridiculously bad at French okay. He's glad that the school provides them with food and stuff because grocery shopping would kind of be suffering otherwise. Speaking of which, he lights right up at the range of sodas she pulls out of her backpack, impressed by the colorful array. Let's start with ... this orangina stuff? ]

All kinds of stuff? I live in New York, so I can get take out from pretty much any country on the planet. But my favorite is pizza. Also this deli right down the street with the best sandwiches in Queens.
made_up_names: (what does this do)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. He said the wrong thing, didn't he? The instant she looks sad about it, he kind of winces guiltily. Probably if he'd been made to come here at twelve, then he'd have been upset and sad and lonely too. ]

W-well, it is a cool school so far. I'm glad you had a good experience.

[ Even if she was obviously sad too. Jeez, Peter, try not to stomp on her heart quite so much. He's gonna try talking about more cheerful things, like pizza. ]

That's kinda the idea, yeah. And New York style is like the best. Maybe we could make it sometime.
made_up_names: (hurmph)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. Oh god. He hadn't quite meant to ask her to say all of that at once. But once she starts, it's clear he's going to get all the details, and ... some of that goes straight to his heart. Raised me himself. When he died, I didn't know what to do. Hell, even going to live with her aunt afterwards. It's not quite the same for him - he'd been living with both his aunt and uncle already when Ben had died - but he gets it. That void someone like Sora or Ben leaves when they spend their entire life with you, and then suddenly get taken away.

He swallows, thickly. Rubbing at his face a bit, over the spot where Gwen had clawed up his face a few days ago. What does he say to that? Some form of "me too" hardly seems right, but. ]


I'm sorry. That's - that's a hell of a thing to have to do. Losing your brother and then moving so fast...

[ He's glad she seems to be doing better now, but. God. He's going to eat some popcorn now and try not to be completely awkward. ]
made_up_names: (paternal affection)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Peter jolts at that vehement response. He's glad she's so cheerful about it! But - that still seems really sad? He can't picture talking to his Uncle every night without crying for at least part of it. Then again it's only been months for him... ]

Why won't you tell me more about him then? What's his name?

[ If she's genuinely cheered by the subject, he'd like to hear more. ]
made_up_names: (legos)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's glad to listen, okay. Especially when she's this happy? He decides he really likes her when she's all lit up and excited about something. And it's nice too to hear about having a brother. Peter was an only child, himself; he barely knew his parents and only really had his aunt and uncle for family. No cousins that he knows of.

It makes him ache knowing that her brother is dead, though. Especially after hearing all of that. He can't help but think of Ben himself. Ache a bit for him just listening. Especially when she mentions their last conversation being an argument ... It had been the same between him and his uncle. Ben yelling at him for sneaking out late, and Peter going anyway.

She might have made a dent in the drinks, but he's sitting here eating all the popcorn. ]


I'm glad. He seems like an awesome guy? Sometimes you don't get enough time with the people you love.

[ To his credit, he only chokes up at the very last sentence. ]
made_up_names: (confidence!)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, that kind of works? It makes him relax a little, smiling back at her. He genuinely did enjoy all of that okay; she didn't seem insensitive at all to him. Also he makes a note to be extra nice to Tatsumaki, because she's clearly awesome. ]

You don't gotta thank me. I thought it was great to hear all of that. I mean, I really just had my aunt and uncle growing up, so siblings sound cool and mysterious.
made_up_names: (a good boy)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm, good question. He doesn't have much to compare them to but. ]

Kinda strict, I think? I did a lot of stuff on my own though. Like, getting back and forth to school every day. But that's just normal for a kid in New York, I think. Uncle Ben yelled at me a lot for sneaking out and doing superhero stuff.
made_up_names: (paternal affection)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pretty much that. Peter is the definition of Chaotic Good. ]

Uh - fifteen? I've only really been doing this for like six months.

[ The reason, though. He goes quiet for a moment, rubbing at the back of his neck. ]

My uncle made me realize how important it was to protect people. I've got all this power, so - if I don't help, then it's kind of my fault when bad stuff happens, right?
made_up_names: (inquisitive)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Look, he used to be way more awkward about it okay. He's just done a lot in the last six months.

He listens to her response for a moment, rubbing idly at the claw marks on his face. Just. Considering all of that, thinking about Ben. The people he'd fought ... hell, Gwen herself. How much of that had been her choice, really? It had seemed more like she'd been taken over for a moment. He knows Gwen would never hurt him given a choice, so ...

He swallows a bit, looking down. Sorry, Orihime, he can't return that smile. ]


It's a little different for me. I - my uncle Ben died right after I got mine. I couldn't help him.
made_up_names: (done messed up now)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There are more details to the story, of course. Details he hasn't told anyone on the planet, not even May - like how badly he and Ben had fought that night, how he'd gone out anyway while still furious at him. And how he'd deliberately stayed out longer out of spite, only to come back and see that werewolf standing over his uncle, claws still freshly bloodied from that fatal strike ...

He shudders a little, blinking back tears. Okay, no, he can't do this. He'd cried in front of Héctor and that had been enough. Whereas Orihime would probably understand more of the story ... but he feels less like he's allowed to unload this kind of thing on her. She's basically the same age that he is. ]


It's - it's just a mess. He shouldn't have died, and - and I miss him.

[ He swipes a hand across his eyes. ]

I don't know if anyone can do anything about it.
made_up_names: (gotta jet)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-01-20 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She got him a roll of toilet paper. Oh my god. He - laughs outright at that? Not unkindly at all, he swears. It's really really sweet. And it helps snap him out of him feeling super bad about his uncle too.

He'll gladly take some and sniffle into it. He's not really crying here, but. Well. He could still use a bit of it. ]


I punch a lot of guys. Some really weird guys. Like - there was a guy with a metal bird costume?
