But I live today, I just Go Go Go (OTA)

Who: Gwen Stacey and YOU!
What: Gwen is out and about with her Pokemon, exploring Attleton, Genessia City and hanging out in Nova City.
When: All day on the 21st.
Warnings: None for now. Might change at some point.

The first place Gwen heads to after leaving her apartment is a park in Attleton. She has her Pokemon with her, Iroh the Fennekin who is happy to sit by Gwen. She has Lin, her Alolan Geodode, Lin, who is happy to be out of her Pokeball, stretching her arms and floating around. And she has her Tynamo, Miles, floating away in a small pond. This is the one she's reading up on in her Pokedex, a small look of alarm on her face as she looks at Miles.

"My friend, you are not allowed to evolve. Like...ever. You go from adorable little shocker fish, to absolutely terrifying to even more terrifying. So stay cute. Okay?"

Gwen's teasing the Pokemon. Even Iroh can recognize when his trainer is joking, headbutting Gwen on the leg and looking up expectantly. Gwen's backpack is nearby and there are a few twigs sticking out, one of which she pulls out and tosses to her Fennekin. The twig is caught and Iroh runs a short distance away to chew on it.

She could get used to this kinda life, honestly.


Later on, she's grocery shopping in Nova City. And she is very much so shopping like a teenager whose parents instilled a few small healthy eating choices. Mixed in among the junk food and microwave meals are apples and bananas and oranges. But mostly it's junk food. The only Pokemon she has out right now is Iroh, who is happy to trot along beside her, looking up at Gwen when she reaches for anything. The Fenniken is also helping! See? Gwen has accidentally dropped an orange and Iroh has picked it up, making some noise to get Gwen's attention.

"Oh, man. Thanks, Iroh. I didn't even notice."

Someone should probably stuff a few carrots or something in her basket. There is way too much sugar in there. Way too much.

Is that S'mores cereal? Tucked in next to a box of Fruity Pebbles? Yes. Yes, it is.

Sugar sounds great right now okay. Peter also went out in search of Pokémon and had ... um. Well. Less success, let's just say. He's sitting crosslegged on the floor of their shared apartment, with a bucket of ice on one side of him and a first aid kit on the other. His healing factor is pretty good, but even it can't quite handle an entire swarm of pissed off joltiks all going at him at once. And it definitely can't handle Peter still trying to web one like a goddamn idiot even after it was clear that this was an Incredibly Bad Idea. Long story short: if he weren't already a spider-kid, then being bitten by like twenty of these things probably would have done it.

Owlfred, meanwhile, is completely unharmed. He's showing his concern for his master by dozing contentedly in his lap.

Anyway, he looks up when Gwen comes back. Still halfway through applying a bandage to his face. "Hey, welcome back," he says. And then he hears the telltale rustle of sugared cereal. "Whoa, what did you get?"
made_up_names: (wrong answer)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-22 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
They sure are bites. Nasty ones if they managed to leave marks on him like that. At least they are healing, just. Well, not quite quickly enough.

Peter, meanwhile, looks a bit embarrassed. He finishes sticking the bandage to his face, carefully smoothing it down. It's kinda crooked but it should work. "Huh? We?" he says, as if Mysterio isn't out there right now potentially plotting his demise. "I was just out trying to catch Pokémon. It uh. I had some problems."

Ninety-nine of them, apparently. And a catch wasn't one.
made_up_names: (MEEP)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks Gwen, he does appreciate it. His clothing protected him from the worst, at least, but there's some marks on the back of his neck that he can't reach easily. Maybe get those first.

Also uh. He sort of doesn't want to explain this. "Not exactly," he says. "I think I told you I really wanted a Joltik, right? Spider and electricity." A pause. "Well, I found like three of them, but Owlfred couldn't handle them. So ... I webbed one."
made_up_names: (I'm gonna need you to stfu)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-22 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
He's really feeling attacked right now, Gwen. This is completely undeserved and he has no idea why you would do this to him, a poor innocent Spider-Man who has never done anything stupid in his entire life.

Like webbing Pokemon.

"It was three at first," he says. "But. They got mad, and then more showed up. A lot more." Like a lot a lot more. He's going to have nightmares probably. A sea of Joltiks all biting and scratching and jolting. "And I webbed it because I really wanted a Joltik but Owlfred couldn't handle them at all."

See, he's logical. This makes total sense.

Attleton

[personal profile] trollkeru 2019-07-22 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Takeru had been walking from work at the Dog's Paw towards the place where his girlfriend worked and for a change, he decided to take a short cut through the park. His Chespin was casually walking next to him since the Pokemon from the last time seemed to be more wanting to stay at home lately and not really wanting to get involved.

But that was fine for the other, it means less trouble for him to have to deal with. But soon Chspin had wondered on over to where the other was as Taeru stopped to look over.

"Ah, hey there. I guess you have joined in on the Pokemon craze?"
made_up_names: (MEEP)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-22 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oops. He knows that look. That's a "Peter you've done something incredibly stupid but I'm too nice to say it out loud" look. That usually either ends with yelling or laughter. Fortunately, she seems to have settled on laughter, which makes him laugh nervously in turn. Oh yes, excellent hi jinx. He definitely planned it that way on purpose.

"I mean, not with that kind of Pokémon," he says, a little sheepish. "Obviously I learned my lesson."

Not well enough to promise to avoid webbing Pokémon completely, though.

Nova grocery shopping

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-23 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Mysterio looks very out of place for the simple act of grocery shopping. He's in full superhero costume, appearing like he's raided the wardrobe of Thor, Iron Man and Dr Strange and pieced them all together into a garish, lit-up display. Despite that, he wears it well and is walking around with a hand-held basket containing a few choice items: namely all-in-one frozen dinners. But there are also some apples.

He spies her and remarks aloud in a mildly teasing tone:

"There's those rebellious meals."
mysteryhero: (Head tilt)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"What, this?" He glances down at himself as if there's nothing unusual going on here at all. He was wearing this for his arrival post but of course the full extent of that couldn't be seen over a close-up video.

"This is my suit. You can never be too prepared, as a hero," he replies with a bit of a weary smile, as if the burden of it was something he must endure. But gratefully so.

"You should eat more apples."
mysteryhero: (Side view)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Good girl."

Does that sound a bit condescending? Maybe, but he thinks he's saying it in a paternal manner. Even if that is not at all his place.

"Of course I could help you carry some, if you like. Good Samaritan and all. Where do you live?"
light_of_willpower: (Super--satisfied and reassuring)

Thank you for letting me join in!

[personal profile] light_of_willpower 2019-07-23 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
The voices are familiar, but it's not until the 'hero' comment and mention of suit, that Trunks pays attention as anything other than background noise. Give him a moment--because those voices are familiar. Coming around the corner, with his own basket of groceries, to confirm his guesses.

Of course, his basket is a full-size one, and almost filled entirely. He's shopping for the CC House after all, which includes 1 full saiyan and 2 half-saiyans, along with numerous critters. Lots of bulk-products, and variety of stuff. Junk and healthy both.

"Excuse me..." Hesitantly, as he is aware he's intruding. With a small bow, but it's interesting to finally meet these two in person if they are who he thinks they are. "..Mr. Beck? Gwen?" They'd all only spoken via video chat before after all.
made_up_names: (i am so awesome)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I, uh. I get that a lot."

Poor May. He feels really bad for his aunt, especially after she found out he was Spider-Man. And here he'd thought that her being worried about normal nerd antics was bad enough. Now he has a cornucopia of stupid decisions to make

Anyway, he brightens at her offer. "That'd be awesome," he says. "We might have more luck that way too. I mean, since I haven't had any so far." Story of his life. He's instantly jealous of Lin, his eyes widening as he reaches his hand out to her. This is the best thing ever and he's not over it. "Man, I'm loving all the Avatar names," he says with a grin. "Which one did you give the Tynamo?"

Chespin seemed happy enough as Takeru extended his hand to take the others. She seemed friendly enough and there didn't seem to be a reason to distrust her. At least at first sight. Then again in this world, he had found very little reason to distrust a lot of people.

"Takeru Takaishi. Nice to meet you." Once he was sure that the handshake was over he let go, letting it go back to his side.

"It is kind of neat. Having many little companions." But for Takeru at the same time, it made him miss his companion back home a lot more. He hoped Patamon was doing okay. "But since you are new to town I will also add that the Pokemon seems to be a yearly thing to occur, so odds are it will happen again next year."

Beck has no idea yet about the connection between Gwen and Peter and Peter already avoided telling Mysterio where he lived. They had come to a kind of agreement but still, it was wise to be safe.

He chuckles slightly at Gwen's words. "If you say so, " and he doesn't push.

Then a third person joins them and Beck's face lights up with a welcoming smile.

"Ah, Trunks! Indeed nice to meet you in person," he echoes Gwen's words.
light_of_willpower: (Super--satisfied and reassuring)

[personal profile] light_of_willpower 2019-07-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering what little he'd heard of he conversation, it seemed like Trunks' interruption was good timing. Even if he wasn't sure why it was, which meant just being his usual self. Returning the hand-shake to Gwen, and waiting to see if Mr. Beck wanted one too.

"I'm sorry for intruding." Well--only a bit given the hint of vibe he'd gotten. "Then again, this isn't the first time I've met people by grocery-shopping. I suppose it's part of why I enjoy doing the chore."

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
That was in fact what he was expecting. Some kind of Avatar reference. Like Mako maybe? He seems kind of fishy and can also do electricity. Miles, on the other hand ... He’s suddenly trying to remember every fictional Miles he’s ever seen or read about. Miles Edgeworth? Prower? Vorkosigan??

“Your friend likes Ace Attorney?” he says, deciding to just go with his first guess. Even if it’s probably terrible.
made_up_names: (technical)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-24 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks Lin, you’re the best. Peter happily helps himself.

“Whoa,” he says, his eyes widening a little. A spider-person with electricity powers? Super cool. “That’s new. I mean, I definitely don’t have those.” He pauses, though, as something else occurs to him. “Wait, you’ve been to other universes before? And what do you mean, the new Spider-Man? Did the old one retire?”
made_up_names: (extra pretty lighting)

[personal profile] made_up_names 2019-07-24 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. He quiets suddenly, listening to all of that. Deep down he probably should have known that would be the answer - he already knows he’s probably not going to just retire someday, not with how much the world clearly needs him. And he’s come face to face with the alternative. But that still hadn’t quite clicked in his head. That he can (will?) die on the job just like Tony did, and someone will have to take over for him in turn ...

He stares straight ahead for a moment, his breath rattling in his ears. Come on, Peter, say something. Don’t freeze up. Obviously you’re not dead here, and if you’ve never met this Miles guy then who’s to say anything like this will happen to you too? And maybe this Spider-Man that died isn’t even Peter Parker. Clearly there are other people taking on the role.

“Oh,” he says at last, a little shaken. “I didn’t realize. Guess I should have.” Breathe in, breathe out. “I’m really glad you were able to fix things though. And I hope Miles got a chance to get some help starting out.”

He knows how that is, okay. Tony helped a lot.
mysteryhero: (Hero smile)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-24 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Beck does offer to shake Trunk's hand before silently observing them both in conversation.

"It must be difficult. Having to do everything for yourself here," he begins but then adds, "Not to say you're not capable. Just don't make all your snacks rebellious."

And he picks up one of the apples from his basket ands lightly tosses it toward hers.
light_of_willpower: (Super--satisfied and reassuring)

[personal profile] light_of_willpower 2019-07-24 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"For what it's worth Gwen, there are a lot of options between full on 'rebellion' and carrot sticks and bananas." With a conspiratorial grin. Whether Trunks caught her fast reflexes or not, is saying nothing.

"I mean, anything's better than some of what I've had to survive on. Lemme show you some of the options." Not that he's not trying to be rude, as he had shaken Mr. Beck's hand easily enough. But he's definitely picking up on a vibe of some kind between the two.

"Even if you don't want to learn to cook, there are some simple heating up options that require minimal skills."
mysteryhero: (Hero smile)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-24 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I'm no cook, as you can see."

The small basket indeed holds only a few apples and some frozen dinners, easy to heat up and go.

The uncomfortable vibe isn't coming from Beck's side. He thinks he's being personable, but even so there may be something a bit off. As if he's distracted, even when it seems his focus is on the other two.

"Two years come October I believe, so I only saw them last year, but this is the second year I've seen them... So wouldn't be surprised that it seems to be a yearly occurrence. Plus last year people didn't seem at all surprised either." It was a slight assumption, but it did have some logic behind it.

"I have a couple of Pokemon friends from last year too to prove that point."

Ace is still getting used to the whole domestic thing. He's settled in well to Genessia, he has a job and a partner, but for a former pirate all of this normal is a little overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. Grocery shopping is one of those things that has to be done, but also something that he never had to do when he was younger. He'd either dine and dash, or eat on board the massive ship he used to reside on. So this is something he's still getting used to.

Ace is pushing a cart through the store, and it's almost entirely full of meat, with a couple of bottles of rum nestled in beside two full briskets, several whole chickens, and a massive ham. If someone is supposed to help her with healthy eating by sneaking in good things, it's unfortunately not going to be Ace.

He doesn't know who Gwen is when he sees her and Iroh, they had a text conversation after all. But he does know that she seems like a nice enough person, and if her pokemon like her she can't be too bad. So he waves at her, hoping to get her attention when he just can't figure out part of what's on his grocery list. "Hey, do you have a minute? 'Cause I've got something I need help with."

Sorry Gwen. He's maybe a little sensitive to staring his own mortality in the face right now.

"I'm jealous too," he says, managing a weak smile. "Turning invisible would be super useful. Even the suit Stark built for me couldn't do that."

Taser webs, yes. Kill mode, absolutely. But not invisibility. And now he's wondering if he could engineer something like that.

"It is, but I think having my girlfriend here has helped a lot. It's nice to have someone you know." Although it was a few months before she even arrived and that was after someone else who had left some time ago.

He still couldn't help but miss them even if it has been a while. Soon, he found himself looking over. "I have no idea honestly. What about you?"

"Thanks." Ace looks uncomfortable for a moment. "I didn't really know how to read much until I came here, and I'm still picking up on a lot of words. And this one? And the two after? Never seen it before."

The list gets pushed towards Gwen, and he points out some words in on the paper that have been written in cursive that's very fancy and flourished. Ace might blame not being able to read it on his struggle with literacy, but even good readers might struggle with how beautifully and pretentiously written this is. Broccolini, romanesco, umeboshi are the words that he's gesturing at. "If it was texted to me I'd probably do better, but this is kinda rough."
