[OPEN] TGIF

[catphishing]

CHARACTERS: Kagari, Maya, Oliver, and ANYONE ELSE
DATE: 19th May
WARNINGS: Possibly none. Will edit to add if necessary.
SUMMARY: Team Audentes needs a chance to unwind. Baseball, movies, and party games seem like the ideal solution.

Baseball: Training Room (Afternoon)

Peter Parker’s been kind enough to share the set of baseball equipment he’s gotten as a present for Oska. Currently, the training room resembles a massive field -- big enough for Audentes to comfortably play.

Maya, complete with coach outfit, blows her whistle at anyone in ear range to get started, and naturally, participants are more than welcome to form makeshift teams and compete, or just play one on one or throw the ball around. The more the merrier, right? Maya herself will be tagging people in and out so everyone has a chance to play, and encourages people to try it out if they haven’t already. The fake sky’s the limit!


Movies/Games: Rec Room (Evening)

There's a couple of hours between baseball ending and the official start time of the more relaxed set of activities. It allows chance to set up and for those who've been playing to freshen up. Of course anyone who wants to is welcome to show up early, especially if they're willing to help out with getting everything ready!

By the time it starts the majority of couches and chairs have been shifted to be either around Oliver's Xbox or the Magitek streaming movies, and a table next to the bar has been set up with a buffet. No one is monitoring the bar so everyone is free to grab what they like, but it will pull its usual trick of turning alcohol to juice should anyone 17 or under try.

Movies and games are taking place on opposite sides of the room so no one steps on each other's turf, but the open layout means anyone can choose whether they want to watch a movie or play a game at any time.

The evening kicks off with a showing of Steel Samurai, followed by a series of action and slapstick movies.

On the other side of the room Quiplash is underway. Oliver is happy to show any newcomers how to connect their Magitek so they can type in their answers or vote. Each round is short, and while participation isn't required it is encouraged for at least one round for anyone who takes part in voting.

Aunt May would not agree with you. She hardly forgave me for that one, I didn't know cookware could mean as much as your nephew but apparently it was pretty close.

( no that's a bit of an exaggeration, his aunt would still love him even if he intentionally melted all her pots. though it definitely had been just the one, he'd felt bad enough after that he'd barely touched her cookware again... which was sort of how he'd gotten to the conundrum he was currently in, whoops. )

Depends on the pot, but generally chemicals. They are pretty impressively destructive. I'll show you to melt metal if you can help me learn how to make daifuku. Honestly that might not even be a fair trade, considering.

[hedonistic]

[An uncomfortable flash briefly passes over his features, but he shoves through it, offering an exaggerated shrug that's obviously mostly for show.]

Hey, cookware is serious business.

[He grins, perhaps a bit too eagerly]

Tell you what, I'll show you how to make daifuku and how to make way better ramen than just by microwaving it.

( Peter can be a perceptive kid. perceptive enough that a part of him wonders at the slight moment of discomfort. he wants to inquire but then they push on pass it like it never happened. he can get wanting to leave things behind him, and doesn't want to push. so he doesn't. )

Thanks. I like to think I'm pretty smart. Maybe I can manage to cook without setting off smoke detectors. ( he's careful with his plate as he offers a hand in greeting, not wanting to drop anything, but even if there was a chance at something slipping he'd probably catch on and level things out before disaster struck. spider senses and all. ) I'm Peter. By the way.

[hedonistic]

[Ah, right, that's a western greeting, isn't it? Kagari reaches out his own hand for the shake, though he accidentally picks the wrong one...he's never actually done it before and couldn't remember from the movies, shhhh.]

I'm Kagari.

[Shuusei, if he was going to offer a given name for a given name, but it's a little weird to be that familiar with a stranger, even for him.]

Man, I wonder if Oska even uses smoke detectors. Maybe they have some kind of nifty magic that puts out fires on its own.

[Perhaps...not an experiment they should try, though.]

( it's not quite right, but hey. even socially awkward americans sometimes shook with the wrong hand. Peter notices, but is not particularly put out by it, just switching his own without worrying much about it. )

Kagari. Cool. ( for the record, Peter doesn't need both names; there's a reason he didn't offer both of his, after all. his secret is out these days, it's probably a moot point to skirt around admitting he's Peter Parker, synonymous with Spider-Man. still, now that he has so little anonymity left to his name, he's more overzealous on holding on to what little he has. )

Come to think of it, maybe the suits of armor will just come clanking in with a fire extinguisher? ( it's a hilarious mental image, even though Peter has little to no justification to believe it's accurate. )

[hedonistic]

[Ah, oops, he messed that up. But this guy isn't calling attention to it, so he won't either.]

Man, how awesome would that be? It'd be like a fantasy steampunk version of that one movie, Smart House? Except without the part where the castle goes all yandere and doesn't let us out, anyway.

( if it was something they needed to talk about, maybe he'd have tried to bring it up. as it is... seems best to let that particular dog lie. at least for now. )

Geez, with Katey Segal? It's been so long since I could make pop culture references, I was genuinely beginning to believe I just imagined it all. ( so many blank looks from people that had no idea what he was talking about... what a relief... ) So far we haven't gotten locked in. Fingers crossed it stays that way, because that sounds less like a Disney Channel movie and more like a horror movie.
