Fixer-Upper (Aube Floor 3)

[ Multiple midnight dumpster runs later, Peter finally has a decent collection of stuff to work on here. The common room on the third floor of Aube has been temporarily taken over by junk and tools, which have been loosely sorted into different piles. Here's a bunch of electronic parts. Here's some casings that seem mostly intact. These are screens, that appears to be a pile of ancient game console tidbits... The biggest item is an old CRT TV that is just wrecked. But - it's not what he's working on right this second. No, he seems to be focused on multiple funny-looking bracelets laid out on a cloth. He's had at least three requests for webshooters by now, and he aims to get them done today. Also, finally fix the one that Kano busted.

See what he's up to? Yell at him for taking up all the space? Or maybe if you ask him nicely, he'll build something fun for you.

In this prompt (as well as all of the others!) Peter has a fresh set of claw marks on his face. The cuts are clean and healing nicely, but obviously very fresh. Someone ran into something nasty lately. ]

STARR Club

[ Who the hell was dumb enough to let Peter start a club again? Oh wait, this is technically Gohan's fault probably. Though honestly, it's safer than just letting all these technically inclined idiots blow up their dorm room or something.

The STARR Club (Science, Technology And Runes/Robotics) was technically up and running in the first few days of school. Pete's definitely been in and out doing stuff. But now? It's officially, definitely open, and Peter is heading up the first meeting. He's. Frankly a bit overwhelmed? Please someone else take this over so he can go back to making webshooters in the corner like he actually wants to do. ]

So uh - I guess we need rules? Or something? To be official.

[ He has a whiteboard set up, on which he already has a helpful list started:

• DON'T BE A DICK


• Clean up after your own explosions

Annnd that's it. ]

Soleil, Returning Late

[ Of course that just covers the daytime activities. At night ... Peter tries to sleep, he really does, but inevitably he wakes up at some point and just needs to leave. Swing out to Soleil, get some fresh air come back at an ungodly hour, whatever. Today he's donned his hobo spider suit to go foil some midnight muggings in the local town. He's also taking a swing through campus too, so maybe you see this mysterious Spider-Man out and about?

Or, perhaps worse, you catch him just as he's sneaking back into Aube at 3 AM. The suit is tucked away, but he definitely is sneaking through the hallways up to his room, trying not to look guilty. ]

Spider Astronomy - CLOSEDish

[ Whose idea was this again? It doesn't really matter, honestly; Peter would have been up here regardless and the other two spider kids are nerdy enough this likely appealed to them too. Early in the morning of January 21st, Peter sneaks his way up to the roof of the Aube dorms, carrying a duffel bag full of junk with him. It's cold, as always, but the night is clear, and they have a perfect view of the moon. Pete's here to set up some blankets, put together the world's worst telescope, and watch the lunar eclipse with Gwen and Miles. He's even gotten a couple thermoses full of hot soup from the kitchen. ]

D'you think the faculty does some kind of weird blood moon ritual or something for this?

[ It wouldn't surprise him, honestly. This place is weird enough already.

Of course if you're up on the roof at about the same time (doing the same thing, maybe!) it wouldn't be hard to run into the trio. ]

(( Hit me up @ katoptron if you want me to write up a starter just for you! Otherwise all prompts are OTA. Will match format. ))

Comments

Returning late

[thebreakfastbug]

A small wrinkle presents itself as he makes it up to floor 3. Namely, the fact that Bee was sitting right in front of his door.

"No text, no note, and obviously you didn't talk to me. You must have really wanted that curfew, huh?"

Seriously, it hadn't even been a month Peter. What the hell?

[made_up_names]

Well. Shit. He knew he should have gone in through the window? But even he can't go forever without sleep, and after a rigorous encounter with a mugger he'd been bone tired. Even spider dudes have to take the stairs when your arms are too tired to crawl up walls.

"I - uh - " He'd had no intention of telling Bumblebee anything, honestly; he'd sort of assumed that Bee wouldn't notice. He's regretting that a whole lot right now. "Look, I have a really good reason for it."

Give him a minute and he'll think of it.

[thebreakfastbug]

"Unless you were lying unconscious in a ditch somewhere for the past three hours, no you don't."

And, as tired as Peter looked, he didn't look like someone who'd been lying in a ditch for three hours.

[made_up_names]

Sigh. He does have claw marks on his face that are new, but they're not that new. Clearly they've had a couple days to heal.

"Well it wasn't that," he admits. What should he actually say? The whole reason why he'd not even considered leaving Bumblebee notes is because he didn't want to make it obvious he's Spider-Man. Despite it already being obvious he's Spider-Man. "Why do you care anyway? I can take care of myself."

Soleil

[schemerfreak]

*Mal had slipped out of her dorm, lit her path with a fireball, and headed into town. Decked out in leathers and denim, all in her usual color scheme. Her usual reasoning, chaos and mischief. Her rucksack on her shoulder was filled with spraypaints. Her intentions standard. Once she was in town she picked a nice empty expanse of wall. Filling the space with a purple feathered griffon, lit with eerie green highlights.*

*Graffiti is totally a crime, maybe some hero should do something about it.*

[made_up_names]

[ It is TOTALLY a crime. Admittedly not one Pete usually wants to do anything about, but - it's a quiet night and that building doesn't seem like it would appreciate a purple griffon (even if Peter thinks it's completely rad). Time to foil some crime.

As she's lifting her hand to put the finishing touches on her art, a web comes out of nowhere, snatching it out of her hand. ]

Do you take constructive criticism? Because I have some thoughts on your color composition.

[ Up on the roof, there's a ... guy! A spider-guy in what looks like a hoodie, a ski mask, and modified welding goggles. He's also got her spray can now. ]

[schemerfreak]

*Give her a moment, she needs to judge you on what you're wearing. Then get mad for taking her stuff, then get all cocky and smug and act superior to you because she obviously is.*

Isn't it more polite to wait until a work is done to butt in where nobody wants you?

And you really shouldn't be talking about color composition in... that.

STARR Club / OTA

[yokeye]

I approve of the rules set forth~!

[They were perfectly reasonable rules, and nothing else was needed.]

I have an idea for the Theatre Club~! Let's make fireworks!

[Toki hasn't been to a Theatre Club meeting yet, and they may not even need any pyrotechnics for whatever play, but did it really matter?]

[made_up_names]

[ Any reason to make explosives is a good one tbh. So is any excuse to harrass the Theatre Club for stuff. ]

Dude, I'm all for it. Let's get some cross-club good will going on here.

[yokeye]

[They could probably do it fairly easily by traditional means, but they're here to learn.]

Magic~ fireworks! And maybe they can explode into crickets!

[He did miss the cricket fiasco, and that was a shame.]

STARR Club - Inevitable Mistakes

[betheman]

[Gongenzaka isn't much for clubs. If one were to ask him, he would simply say none had caught his eye- which was true. Judo wasn't really a 'club' so much as an extra curricular that he typically worked on with other supernaturally enhanced sorts, and from there most clubs were things like music or journalism or something along those lines.

There sure hasn't been a club for card collecting, in any case.

But that doesn't mean he won't pass the room where STARR is doing their thing.

And given what STARR is, that also means-]

BR-OUM!

[...The chances of him passing during some sort of explosion is high.] AUHH!!

[Gongenzaka immediately flings the door open, and almost immediately chokes on whatever fumes from the explosion there are.] G-HK...Is... Are there injuries!?

[What a wild way of saying 'who's hurt'.]

[made_up_names]

[ There is ABSOLUTELY an explosion happening at some point, and odds are good that it's Peter's fault. (It is, in fact, Peter's fault this time.) He's over at one of the burners, coughing as a truly vile cloud of black smoke rises from whatever he was working on. His face is soot-stained - though he was wearing eye protection, so. He has some wicked reverse raccoon eyes once he lifts it away from his face to get a better look. ]

Hey! Uh - [ Wait, he doesn't know this guy. ] - It's fine, I'm good. I sort of thought that might happen.

[ He coughs a little more, waving away smoke.. Behind him, something has just caught fire. Help? ]

[betheman]

[Somehow, he does not immediately scream again. Instead he simply gawks.] P-Peter!? [He yelps, hurrying nearer to the mess anyway. He has to wave his own hand to clear the smoke in his vision as well- which of course brings attention to the fire, which he's now running to immediately try to smother with...Something. Mostly he's just grabbing something that looks like neither cloth nor chemical.]

AUH- You thought, that a fire would develop, and an explosion!? [He protests, the fluster in his tone rising.] Does that not seem dangerous, perhaps?!

[Well if Peter didn't know who this was before he....Can probably guess now.]

fixer-upper

[byhalves]

[What...is happening here. Shouto blinks at the mess of the common room from the doorway, wondering if he even wants to try figuring out everything going on in there. He's not exactly upset the common room has been turned into a giant junk drawer, but...

Seriously, Peter? Other people live here.]

What did you get attacked by?

[Aaaand he doesn't even ask about what he's building, even though he's curious.]

[made_up_names]

[ Sorry Shouto. He definitely will clean it up once he's done, but he really, really needed to sort everything. Which requires space! Which requires the common room for a few hours.

He looks up from the webshooter he's currently calibrating, a bit started. He hadn't heard Shouto come up. ]

Oh, hey. My best friend showed up at school, but we kind of got attacked by a bear.

[ They ... do look like claw marks, but. ]

[byhalves]

[When you live like Shouto has, you get used to moving around silently.

Or you just need to be more aware of your surroundings, Peter.]

I didn't know there were bears in France.

[He doesn't believe you at all.]

Or that a bear attack could happen without everyone knowing about it.

Prompt 3 Campus

[hippocarnival]

[When Peter'a swinging back onto campus from his vigilant night, Yuya's trudging back to his own dorm after a late tutoring session. It probably didn't have to go that long, if he hadn't accidentally admitted he hadn't done his homework in a week.

He glances up just in time to catch him swinging, gaze lighting up in recognition. Before he gets too far Yuya cups his hands around his mouth and calls out loudly.]

HEY SPIDER GUY!

[made_up_names]

[ Uh. Peter freezes for a moment, caught off guard? But hey, someone recognizing him as Spider-Man is good. ]

Hey man! How's it going?

[ THUMBS UP! ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya adjusts his bag and offers him a smile.] I want to thank you for helping save Kano and Toki. I didn't see you after we were inside.

[So... that was a busy night and Yuya missed any conversation about the transition boy who brought Ekke having spider powers. He just saw a glimpse of a masked hero.

Actually--] What's the costume for? Are you a student?

Fixer-Upper

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[It's about mid-afternoon when Imelda comes looking for him. It's fairly unusual to see her over in Aube dorm, considering this isn't where she lives--maybe even more unusual to see her up on the third floor. But it might become a little more clear why she's here when she catches sight of Peter and his vast array of projects.]

Oh, here you are. [There's a clipboard tucked in the crook of her arm, and she's giving this mess a bit of a weird look.]

What's all this?

Re: Fixer-Upper

[made_up_names]

[ Oh shit, how did she get here? Peter jerks up, automatically looking around to check that he’s in the right dorm. Did he set up in Lumière somehow? He wouldn’t put that past himself, honestly, given that he basically lives over there anyway.

But no, this is Aube all right, even if he is making a terrible mess. At least it’s organized chaos? And - look, he’s gonna guiltily our away some of the stuff he’s sorted but isn’t actively working on. He scavenged this sweet tackle box that only had one massive dent in it, so he’ll start putting things away in there. ]

Hey Ms. Rivera. I was just putting some webshooters together.

[ He indicates the bracelets laid out on the bath towel in front of him. ]

Uh, I swear I’ll clean everything up afterwards.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[She lifts a brow at his guilty conscience, a smile quirking to her lips.]

It's not my dorm. As long as your RA is okay with the mess... [She's not the boss here. And even if she was, she wouldn't tell him to clean it up necessarily. He seems hard at work with something, after all... and the common rooms are meant to be used.

She comes over to take a look at his work, crouching down nearby.]

Do these have something to do with your... spider thing? [She waves her finger around in a small circle, gesturing to... something up in the air? It's a very vague gesture for a very vague idea of what's going on with that.]

Astronomy!

[deafleppard]

I.

[What?]

I sure hope not.

[On her end, Gwen just brought her phone. Making a pact with a daemon that could also shapeshift into clothes had it's advantages. Like saving her a lot of money when she needed new wardrobe. Which was good, because she already did't have a lot of money to begin with.]

[made_up_names]

[ Peter is a little jealous, frankly? He's here all bundled up like a chump while Gwen is rocking some magical hoodies. But that's what blankets are for, huh. ]

Well yeah, me too. But you can picture it, right?

[deafleppard]

Yeah, I can.

I totally can, and I hate it.

[It's an image that's gonna be stuck in her head for a while.

Thanks for that.]
