→ 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.

Clint pokes around the feeds, eyes opening a little wider the longer he watches from the archives, squinting at the image, up at Scott, and then back down again.

"It's a good thing I missed this," he smirks, lop-sided, as he pokes around further. "Not sure I would've been able to resist the temptation." He tinkers around a moment longer, taking note of where it's stored to find it again later to better look through, and then tucks away his device. "You grow up well."

[affectioning]

"Thanks..." he says, thinking that this is borderline wrong if only because he's a teenager. But, then he smiles to himself because that is actually a very nice compliment. His smile widens as he looks away. "Next time." Also weird to say.

[bettercallit]

"Planning ahead for a repeat performance?" But knowing the City, it's not exactly out of the question. As far as preying on those in vulnerable positions considering the circumstances, he knows he crosses lines he should reel in, but an ego boost never hurts anyone. Right? "If it helps, not long after I got here, there was a curse that got me. Had everyone reverting back to high school age. Graduation week. Should've known something was up since I never finished the first time around."

[affectioning]

"Without actual planning? I wouldn't be surprised if I came back. Other me," he says. "Maybe he'll remember to ask for Clint." But, he probably would. Scott would remember Clint, young or not. He really respects Clint. Ego boosts are the best and it doesn't feel like reeling in or anything of the sort. "It helps." He says. "I hope I see it next time. I'm curious about high school you."

[bettercallit]

"Be keeping an eye out for the guy." He shakes his head, a soft chuckle escaping him; he really doesn't know what their lives are sometimes that this is an actual topic of discussion. "Yeah? He was a lot more fun or so I'm told."

[affectioning]

"Cool."

They're insane. Their lives are insane. And borderline inappropriate. But, this place does away with laws and things like that. Stiles is sort of dating Derek. That'd just be - well, it's still weird and sure, illegal.

"He's been here before?" Cool. "I'll help if I run into high school you." He's a helpful teenager.

[bettercallit]

Scott should leak information to him sometime, or so Clint wishes, because he's got so many suspicions and no way of finding out for sure without taking extreme measures.

"Appreciate that. But you should probably be cautious, I wasn't as good at pretending to trust people on sight as I am now."

[affectioning]

Look at this face, Clint?

"I think I'll be able to win you over."

[bettercallit]

He does look at that face and huffs a hopeless laugh.

"Yeah, I think if anyone's got a chance, it's definitely you."

[affectioning]

"Thanks," he replies, triumphant! "I should go find Stiles but, I'll drop by after a couple? You can get my reaction."

[bettercallit]

"Sure." He scans the crowd around them quickly, nods in the direction where he can see Stiles clearly being passionate about something as he chats to some unsuspecting victim. "Looks like that kid could do with the save anyway."

[affectioning]

He looks in the direction Stiles is emphatically gesturing. And he hears the conversation. "Looks like somebody likes the last three films more..." He smirks.

[bettercallit]

"Better get in there quick," he nods, seriously, but trying to hide a smirk as he adds, "Before someone gets hurt."
