Who: Himeka, Nebula, Rocket...& you?? When: July Where: Tertiary Settlement What: QUESTIN'! And then an open seafood BBQ thread to others in Solvunn in the area Warnings: They're idiots, but they're doing their best
[ it's basic and that's why it works, or it could really be because peter has basic tastes as well. either way, nebula seems to understand and peter hands her a plate with a few pieces of fried fish meat. ]
Yeah, that's what she said, too. [ "she" being himeka. ] And I mean, that's really nice and all, but there wouldn't be any left for everyone else.
[ the perks of having a constant overactive metabolism. ]
[ She should question more why so many people are intent on feeding her - she does and she doesn't. For now she simply takes the plate with a roll of her eyes, skewers a piece of the fish and responds without missing a beat: ]
Good thing there's plenty more giant fish where that one came from.
[ it's about as much as he expected; nebula doesn't strike him as someone who'd willingly mingle and socialize (he remembers that telepathic conference call with the other avengers), which means she's either here for the food or for someone, and he's willing to bet it's the latter. extroverts adopting introverts, tale as old as time. wanda isn't very extroverted either... so, maybe himeka. right. the brochure.
anyway. ]
Yeah? If you got room on your next fishing trip, count me in.
[ Nebula takes a bite of the now skewered fish as he speaks. Arching a brow, she tilts her head at him as if in consideration. Wanda had invited him into their little call - obviously knowing him - and while she no longer doubts the strength of the Avengers and can find them competent... She still assesses him and thenn says decidedly: ]
We don't use poles to catch them.
[ clearly important, because she's refused that method? ignoring the obvious, a fishing pole would not work on something the size they've caught. she still. finds it prudent to say. ]
[ it's been a long time since anyone's looked at him like that. mutants are common knowledge at home — everyone knows about his abilities and he's never bothered to hide it. but it's different here, where he doesn't have the x-men name to fall back on. and while that's fine, it's an interesting feeling to be on the receiving end again. ]
Well, yeah. [ he shrugs, chewing on his piece of fish. ] I don't think a pole big enough to catch them exists. Unless you make one, but by that point, you might as well find another way.
If by handle you mean like, planting it inside one of those things, then sure. Diffusing it is... [ he makes a face. ] A little dicey, but yeah, probably.
[ oh, definitely. his talents are so far beyond peter's comprehension though, that he simply boils it down to tinkering. ]
Oh, they have. I just don't spend the night.
[ it feels... weird. the eagerness with which the families open their homes to him. for someone who was considered an outcast for most of his life, it's a strange feeling. ]
[ Over staying with one of them, she means, but thinks the subject is obvious enough. She didn't like the forced niceness of the people - but then most of them treated Summoned as gifts from the gods. She's not a gift. ]
The lake's not bad if you can climb high enough to get away from the bugs.
[ Though it does give her a rather unfeasible idea to buy a Summoned house for newbies in transition. :/ Rude their only option is to just deal with it (she's not actually seen either inn yet). ]
[ She snorts. ]
Got that right.
[ But she thinks for different reasons. She still treats food like a precious commodity - starved as a point as she was as a child. He seems to engulf anything. She doubts it's the same. ]
Just as long as you make sure others get a chance to eat first, I don't care.

[ Drax, mainly. And Mantis might just encourage him. It's the closest she gets to showing any amount of bemused affection before she adds, wryly: ]
And they might just succeed.
[ Sometimes, you got to admire boundless stupidity. ]
Can you handle a bomb?

[ His explosives, his topical fishing groups there. ]
Where did you end up?
[ Staying here she means, but doesn't elaborate since she hopes (thinks) it's obvious. ]
no subject
I'll pitch my case to him then.
[ or he can just, you know. steal them and do it anyway. much to think about. ]
I, uh, kinda float around? [ he makes a vague gesture and shrugs. ] Couch surfing, if you will.
no subject
See what he says. If he gives it to you too easily, he's hoping to see you blow up.
[ Which is also possibly half a warning at what trying to steal it might do... She arches a brow: ]
What, one of those families haven't decided your their pet Summoned now?

The free meals are nice, though.

Do you often think with only your stomach?
no subject
[ none of them are, really. he's still really iffy about gods in general, so the whole being revered thing is very strange. ]
No, but I'm not gonna lie, it's a great motivator.
