Hey, so.

Does anyone want to hang out and maybe build this cool lego replica of a medieval castle?

( That sound you hear? Definitely a box of legos he's shaking around. )

Or - I found a few different cleaning products that when mixed together can make some pretty awesome reactions? We can go mix them together, see what happens? Don't worry! I've got safety equipment and all that, promise.

Or we could do whatever. I'm easy.

( He just misses Ned and Aunt May and Happy's voice mail already, you know? )

Okay, leading with the lego is just bad PR, everyone's gonna think you're one of the not-cool nerds instead of the cool ones that are getting popular, you get me?

[Marco is grinning as he says it, in a way that makes it more of a gentle tease rather than totally mean.]

Next time, lead with explosions. Speaking of which, I'm here for explosions.

[ perma-video!! ]

( Peter doesn't find the teasing to be an issue at all. He's been through much worse back home with other people, that's for sure.

He grins back. )

Makes sense! I'll remember that. But yeah, if you want some explosions, I can help with that! At least, small ones.

( Bigger ones are still a bit much on the senses. )

[brightline]

[Truth is, Marco's mostly familiar with being bullied and being a nerd, though more of the sci-fi, video game playing, shorter than most girls variety. So the grin stays firmly in place as Peter replies, and Marco even throws in a wink.]

I'm a total expert in going from unappreciated genius to superstar.

[A beat, and then.]

So, next question. What is your definition of a small explosion?

[starkwebs]

​( The wink catches him off guard, but besides the brief hint of surprise, he recovers quickly and he's still grinning. This guy seems nice! )

A small explosion? I'd say one that doesn't make too much noise, doesn't start a fire. Doesn't really do any damage besides maybe a couple feet by a couple feet, you know? Small. Enough to hurt a little, but not kill you?

[brightline]

['Nice' is one way of putting it, but the wink was mostly to set the guy at ease, because, well, Marco is just not cut out to be the bully. He might be hard and a bit cold, but he isn't and never has been a bully.]

Good call. I'm in. Name a time and place and I'm there.

[starkwebs]

Awesome! Let me think.

( Don't mind him, talking to himself as if he's thinking about the best place to do this. )

Do you mind going outside the Quarantine? I saw an abandoned parking garage we could do some stuff on. At least that way, no one gets hurt, and if we make a mess, we can't hurt anything that isn't already ruined.

[brightline]

No way, man. I've been curious about what's out there, kinda wanted to stretch my legs, you know?

[Spoken like someone who looks like a 5'1" skinny 19-year-old, but is actually really tough.]

I'm in. A hundred percent. You wanna go now?

[starkwebs]

Yeah, I get that!

( Oh yeah, he's probably super tough. Peter doesn't doubt that at all. )

We can do that. Give me a few so I can grab my stuff. Where do you wanna meet?

[brightline]

Um, maybe by the main gate near the Guard headquarters? Or outside Communal Housing?
