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. ))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, but not for sneaking out of my room undetected.

[ Although it is pretty cool. He's gonna snap a pick of that one with his phone. ]

Also, how do we get the rune off now?

Yes, right!

[There was a goal here, after all.]

It should just wash off, I think. That's how it worked before.

[Oh. But...]

Would water just go right through!?

Yeah, that's exactly it. I don't know how to make ghost water.

[ Pppppause. ]

Maybe if I write it on the faucet?

[It might do something to the faucet instead of the water, but it's worth a try.]

What do you write on it, though?

[Maybe there's a 'cancel all effects' inscription, but what would it look like? Someone needs to learn French.]

The ghost rune again? So it spits out ghost water.

[ He's gonna try it!! And result in the pipe going ghostly and just spraying water everywhere, gg. ]

[...and soon the lab will be flooded.]

This became a big problem quickly!

[Backing away from the spraying water, he bumps into a chair and actually makes contact.]

Hey! It just wears off by itself!

[So if they stop touching things, again, there will potentially be no further problems, except the tree situation. Somehow, that's still there.]

[ Toki has more power than Peter maybe? Or the rune is stronger. Whatever. Peter is busy fighting the water for a moment anyway - until the second rune wears off, anyway.

Yeah, he's drenched. And so is a decent portion of the room. ]

Well. Uh. That didn't quite work. Maybe we should find one that looks like someone disappearing?

[Back to the book. There's a skeleton, but that's probably not a good idea.]

Maybe one that just... doesn't have an image?

[ Don't turn him into a skeleton Toki. ]

How do you even draw that?

I meant try one that didn't have any image at all! Like just text~!

[Because not having any idea at all of what could potentially go wrong was somehow better.]

... I mean, that would just be random, but ...

[ He shrugs?? Hell, he'll try it. ]

[Toki's at least being somewhat more cautious for this one, and draws the runes on a piece of paper again. The page briefly turns some dark shade of green and then... disappears.]

Invisibility~!

[Or... is it?]

[ Huh. That. Seems legit? He hopes anyway. ]

Okay, let's try it. My turn.

[ He offers his arm! ]

[He doesn't hesitate to scrawl out the runes on Peter's arm.]

Is it working?

[Checking first to see if the paper still existed might have been a good idea, for it wasn't invisible, but had been teleported... somewhere.]

[ Huh. He looks down at it, uncertain? ]

I don't know --

[ And then bam, he disappears! Teleported, uh ... Well the good news is he didn't end up in a wall or something. The bad news is he's stuck on the roof without his webshooters. GREAT. ]

It worked~!

[He gets no response, so he reaches out to touch Peter and... he's gone.]

Oh.

[He'll just... wait until it wears off. But the tree's still there, so how long would it take?]

[ That's a good question. He's not waiting to find out. So eventually Toki will see Peter scrambling his way down the roof, towards the windows of the lab they're in. ]

[He's starting to panic a little, but then decides to check the hallway and outside the window to see if Peter was still around somewhere. It was unlikely, but... there he was, clinging to the roof and apparently going to climb down back into the lab. At least there was a tree. Toki waves at him from the broken window.]

Teleportation can be useful too~! The RA won't catch you again~!
