( open ) teen hero hangout

[wiccant]

WHO: Whoever feels like showing up to Kate's invite.
WHEN: Late May - Early June
WHERE: Bishop Publishing
WHAT: Teens and early twenties hangout!
NOTES\WARNINGS: n/a, will update as needed.



Bishop Publishing, otherwise known as what had been the Young Avengers' temporary headquarters, had been previously set up as a teen hangout area - so it's only right for it to be used as that here, right?

There's an archery room that also serves as an armory, a kitchen, rec areas, a training room, and miscellaneous rooms that had been set up as personal rooms for the Young Avengers crew but is currently mostly closed off. Out of their original cast, only Kate Bishop and Billy Kaplan are present; the other rooms are locked just in case their owners arrive in Etraya.

For now? all the common areas are open, a welcome banner is thrown across the entrance, and depending on when one stops by, there may be cupcakes, a cooler full of beverages, or an array of snacks set out on a long table just inside the massive common area.

Some of the furniture may be a little ratty, but considering the building looks like it had been abandoned some time ago and repurposed for hangout purposes - it can't be all that surprising, can it?

common area

( bishop publishing has become home to billy since it'd first shown up. not because he dislikes the apartment facility, but because if he lets himself stay by himself, he's going to huddle up in a corner and cease to exist until someone comes along and drags him back out. at least he's cognizant of his shortcomings and is actively working to not fall back into them. instead, he's made himself comfortable on one of the larger sofas in the common area, legs pulled up onto the couch and an arm wrapped around them while his other hand holds his phone up on top of his knees. he's idly scrolling through something but stops when he notices someone else coming in to raise a hand and offer a wave with a small smile. )

Hey.

( and with a wave of his fingers, the snack table that had been empty is once again covered in miscellaneous - whatever was sitting in the kitchen just a moment ago. )

Kate's somewhere around here? I think.

back rooms

( if one snoops around enough, they may find themselves back where the private rooms are situated. while most of them might be locked up, billy's door remains cracked open during the day when he's inside of it, making it not all too difficult to find him sitting on the mattress in the room with his back pressed up against the wall and his chin pressed against his palm, head turned towards the wall beside him but not quite looking at it.

or perhaps instead of sulking, he's meditating. something that may have looked relatively normal, if he wasn't floating a good several feet off the ground with his legs crossed under him and candles surrounding him. his eyes are open, but they're not looking at anything. instead of his sclera being visible, his eyes are bright blue under eyelids, mouth twisted into a small frown. he's concentrating, and won't immediately notice someone letting themselves in. )

wildcard

( hit me up with whatever, i'll run with it! or send me a pm / reach out to me at crowbars and we can plot something. )

Peter Parker | open | sticks leg in here

[Peter hadn't really been invited to Bishop Publishing. Or at least, he didn't really feel like he was supposed to be invited — he happened to overhear that it was an offer to 'teens and twenty-somethings'. And honestly, that sounds nice? To be somewhere that has people around his age. He has to start over eventually. Ned and MJ and anyone else he'd considered his friends don't know who he is anymore; instead of rolling over and crying about it, he needs to just grab his bootstraps and start dragging to a new beginning.

Because that's what Etraya is, in a way, even if it sucks.

He isn't exactly out as Spider-man, though, so he's not sure if he'll just be some sore thumb in the group. How cool is it, though, that there are young heroes hanging out around here? It's nice to not be a youngin' surrounded by heroes in their 40's.

He comes bearing gifts, when the door is answered:

burgers and fries, specifically.]

Uh. Hi! I heard this was... a hang-out? I'm Peter. Parker.

I thought maybe I should bring a peace offering for admission.

[A dimpled, slightly nervous smile follows.

Making friends is terrifying.]
