→ you know I'd rather work alone than play a supporting role

When: August 14th.
Rating: R.
Characters: Everyone! Tell your friends!
Summary: There are no Star Wars people in the City so let's have ourselves a bit of education.

What started off as a brosession quickly turned into a free for all movie night. Not that Stiles minds considering, but it means he has to plan and execute everything a lot more smoothly. So when Saya offers up the equipment they need he jumps at the chance.

Isaac helps cart everything about - werewolf strength, Stiles is envious -, and together they track down a space in Xanadu and fill it. It's not a hot night but it's warm and balmy and nobody's going to end up with pneumonia. Squashy beanbags get borrowed off a particularly hipster coffee shop and placed liberally about the place. They take what they can, couches that fit out of doors and large obnoxious cushions so everyone has a place to settle. There's a fuckton of candy too. Stiles pretty much wipes out a weeks allowance alone getting it and the soda. But if he's doing something he's doing it properly and he texts everyone the time and the place and all but collapses into a beanbag.

When people arrive he'll move. Honest.

"More secret than Homeland Security or the CIA? If you tell me, will you have to kill me?" Her smile increases. "We're from different universes you know, and neither of us will remember this place when we go back. Are you sure I can't persuade you to tell me now that I'm positively aching with curiosity?"

[bettercallit]

"Until recently? Yeah. And you have no idea how many bodies have piled up over the years from a slip here or there." He's kidding on that last part, but it's hard to tell. He's never sure of the chances that someone from the City will head back home and turn out to be from the same universe, though, even if it's a different place or time. But the Avengers were all over the news before he got here, even if he was a little less out of the limelight than the others. "If I don't, will you ever let it go?"

[lefthandedgenius]

Ooh, a good question. She bites the side of her lip, casting her eyes heavenward, and then gazes at him with large doe-eyed, green and sparkling, and the likes of Clint Barton is no doubt meant of much sterner stuff, but really.

She's probably just kidding and seeing how far she can push.

Probably.

[hexuality]

You've been paying attention. I'm flattered.

[Where dwell the brave at heart, indeed.]

Yeah, well, nice of it to make sure we don't remember a damn thing, then.

[studmuffin]

Hey, no. I can totally understand the whole tired thing. You okay?

[studmuffin]

"A year now."

He shrugs. "I guess I grew up and he didn't get to see it."

[studmuffin]

I'd totally watch something like that. I mean I've never really been all that great at Shakespeare but I bet it'd be fun to watch anyway?

[had_not_lived]

Ever have any interest in acting?

[studmuffin]

Remember my lack of concentration thing? Totally the same with learning.

[had_not_lived]

It's different learning lines, though. You have other people around you, it's more like you're having a conversation.

[affectioning]

"Yeah. Maybe." Hopefully. "Do you have anyone here you love?"

[studmuffin]

Hey, set up a thing and I'll come down and see how it goes. You never know, I could totally find my calling.

[had_not_lived]

[Yessss let Neil enable you into joining his ragtag band of amateurs]

Right! Exactly. Just keep an eye out.

[studmuffin]

[ He just wants to be in every gang ever. ]

Will do.

[had_not_lived]

[Neil can sympathize!]

Great!

[hexuality]

[She shrugs as well as anyone can shrug lying on a broom. How does she explain that autumn is one of her favourite seasons but it always manages to bring her mood down in the City? Because a few years ago, everyone went home without her? Get over it, Weasley.

She grins a bit wider.]

Never better. But if I fall asleep out here, don't draw anything on me or I'll hex you.

[bettercallit]

"Growing up doesn't mean you're not the same person. Do whatever it is you guys did before, things'll fall back into place with a little time."

[bettercallit]

"There was someone." He shrugs, never good with the whole openly speaking feelings of a personal nature thing. "But they left." And back home, they're not exactly alive and kicking.

[bettercallit]

My plan's working.

[ There is no actual plan, he's just ridiculous. ]

Still not sure whether or not that's for the best. [ After Loki, and even before, he's not a huge fan of people messing in his noggin. ] Some people remember when they return, so the memories can't be completely erased.

[bettercallit]

It's probably a weakness for strong women with red hair, but it doesn't take him long to cave; he's so thankful he's never been kidnapped by her and tortured for information, he'd never last long.

"Fine, I'll tell. But it's between you and me, yeah?" The less people that know, the better; he's not eager to have weird looks cast his way again after what happened just before he got here.

[hexuality]

It took me a few days, but I remembered.

[And shooting him a Look because she remembers the t-shirt curse, she knows he gets it.]

Doesn't mean I fancy having some place play in my head.

[bettercallit]

[ It's hard to avoid that look, but even he can't forget that curse, no matter how much he's been trying. ]

Yeah, no, I think we could both do with less of that. And there's definitely a few memories I'd like to keep hold of from here if I ever get out given the choice.

[lefthandedgenius]

She's strong, but in a distinctly different way than Natasha. Truth be told, if Lydia met he Black Widow, she'd probably want to be her when she grew up. Except for the whole, you know, killing lots of people part.

"You have my attention." she says to Clint, eyes alight with curiosity.

[affectioning]

"Maybe they'll be back," he offers as an alternative. "There are people here, too. You'll find someone else! Remember. You're awesome."

[mumbled_truth]

"Bro-code?"

[ As confused as he obviously is, the small smile indicates he's amused by the title anyway. ]
