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

[made_up_names]

[ Look. It's like 90% a bad idea, but. He's thinking about the other 10%

ANYWAY oh boy here comes the reason she came to find him, huh. He winces instantly, taking the clipboard but not reading it yet. Because he has to say one more dumb thing here. ]

-- Are you expelling me?

[ This is what the paper's for, right??? ]

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[That question honestly surprises her. She gives him the most confused look.]

No? Why on earth would we expel you? [And why would she be the one to tell him? She's not even faculty; she's just a TA.]

Just... read the paper.

[made_up_names]

Well, you're being incredibly nice right now, so...

[ Clearly? That is the explanation??

... Okay he's just gonna read the damn paper, brightening as he realizes what it's actually for. ]

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

And you're being incredibly guilty.

[She's just going to cross her arms over her chest and wait for him to finish.]

... What do you think?

[made_up_names]

[ That's is secret, Imelda. He's always guilty.

But okay, he finishes reading. And - he manages a genuine smile when he looks back up, kind of excited. ]

Dude, that would be awesome. It's like a reverse escape room!

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[Oh, that's... A little cute.]

I figured it would help keep certain students off the roof... And whatever trouble you got yourself in. [She gestures to his face with a grimace. Clearly he got up to something...]

[made_up_names]

[ Oh. Yeah. He rubs at his face self-consciously, like he just remembered it was there. ]

This is different. My best friend showed up.

[ He's still enthused, just. Distracted. ]

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Your best friend?

[She lifts a brow at him, as if asking what happened.]

[made_up_names]

[ He opens his mouth to say they fought bears, etc. Looks at her. Decides ... that lying to Imelda would be stupid, frankly. And sighs. ]

It wasn't her fault. She's got new powers - couldn't control them. And I hadn't seen her for like a month? I didn't even say goodbye, and now she sees me in France of all places.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Mmm. [She frowns a bit at that, as if there's some sympathy there for his friend. She knows a little something about people disappearing and then just showing up in France of all places...]

Well, I hope you got the hint, niño. You don't run off on the people who care about you. [She gives his face another glance over.] Did you at least see the school nurse? Or Ekkehardt?

[made_up_names]

[ Yeah uh. That's kind of why he told her, honestly; he knew she would understand Gwen's side of it. Héctor had the right idea in telling Peter to seek help for repeat occurrences. But for just the one ... yeah, Imelda's perspective is better. ]

Nnnno? Not yet? They'd ask too many questions. And Orihime's offered to heal it already.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[She gives him a suspicious look for that.]

How many questions is too many questions?

[Probably that many. Exactly that many.]

[made_up_names]

[ Pretty much yep. All of the questions. ]

W-well, asking who did it to me. I don't want Gwen to get into trouble.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

I'm fairly certain the nurse has a No Questions Asked policy. It would be a bad idea to discourage students from seeking medical attention if they need it.

[Like, for instance, if a student gets his face slashed by a friend.]

[made_up_names]

[ He rubs at the scars guiltily. ]

It's still - y'know, a lot to risk. Especially since I heal fast anyway.

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Even so. [She reaches up to lightly shoo his hand away from his face.] It might heal better if someone took a look at it. I'd do it myself, but I'm no good with healing magic.

[made_up_names]

[ Hey. But he drops his hand obediently. Brightening a bit with interest - and also trying to change the subject. ]

What kinda magic do you do?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Summoning, mostly. Some other things on the side.

[She smiles a little secretly at that and holds out the palm of her hand. Her fingers curl in tight, making a fist. There's a flash of light across her face, delicate markings of silver across her cheeks and near her hairline while purple dots circle her eyes. She opens her hand again with a bursting motion and a brief plume of flame erupts about a foot into the air.]

[made_up_names]

[ Well, he had leaned in a little bit just now, but the instant the fire jets out he has to jerk back. ]

-- Whoa! You weren't kidding!

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[She exhales a brief laugh at that.]

Did you think I was?

[made_up_names]

Well - no! But I was picturing like summoning a teacup or something. Not a fireball!

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

I summon spirits. Familiars. Like Pepita. This is the other stuff. [She waves her hand vaguely, gesturing for the magic she just did.]

[made_up_names]

... Teacup familiars?

[ Yeah okay he knows he's spewing nonsense now. ]

Wait, Pepita's your familiar? The cat?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Yes. Didn't I mention that before? [It's possible she didn't. It's also possible that Peter hasn't actually seen her other form.]

[made_up_names]

[ He absolutely hasn't seen her other form. ]

Maybe? Probably? ... But I didn't realize normal cats counted.
