[The video opens on a pile of wood, sticks, shrubbery, and chunks of what might have been siding, all piled into a very obvious pyramid surrounded by rocks.]

So everything has sucked recently. Back home in Montana, when shit got rough we'd always get together and have a big bonfire. Get drunk, make s'mores, all that stuff. It didn't make things better but at least you forgot about it for a little while.

Worth a try right?

[He sounds like he's honestly asking. He's trying really hard to be positive for once.]

I've got some graham crackers, chocolate, and other things for roasting. No marshmallows though so if anyone wants to come through in the clutch it would be appreciated.

I'm lighting this up tonight at dusk, so if you want in, be there. I've only got so much to burn and it might not last more than an hour or two.

((OOC: Feel free to use this like a log and make top levels and do action things. Go forth and get some bonfire mingling on!))

[fine, she'll go anywhere he wants to go. if she wants to go to her world, she'll suck it up and go back to Reaping. but she's still going to med school, damnit.

she laughs] Sounds like there's a story around that.

[itsnotaonesie]

[He's already been invited to Star Wars world, wanna go see real Ewoks?

Peter just laughs and gives her a nod like OH THERE'S A STORY ALL RIGHT]

So, I kind of stole a car once. I was fifteen and had no idea what I was doing.

[toiletseat_girl]

[she'd prefer Star Trek world so she could have sex with Captain Kirk, but Star Wars world will work.

she leans in with an expectant look on her face]

--oh, fuck! And you're a New Yorker! I've heard New York drivers are absolute fuckwads! What happened?

[itsnotaonesie]

[...I mean, there's always C-3PO?]

I almost missed a turn off and I kind of. Y'know. Ended up crashing it.

I was fine, but the car was totaled.

[He doesn't seem too upset about this.]

[toiletseat_girl]

[EWWWWWWWWWWWW. SHE'S GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF ETERNITY AS A VIRGIN. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT]

...ohhhhh my fucking god.

[she doubles over laughing]

Was it your aunt's car? Please tell me it wasn't her car.

[she's laughing so hard, she's like. ugly crying with it]

[itsnotaonesie]

[THERE ARE WORSE THINGS?

But yes getting George to laugh is definitely helping him feel a little better]

Nah, it was this kid I went to school with's dad's car. He was one of those douchebags who thought he was hot stuff because his parents had a bunch of money, so I can't say I felt too bad about it.

[toiletseat_girl]

[NOT IN HER OPINION. all she wants is a nice, stable relationship with a nice girl. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

GOOD.

and at Peter's words, she slaps her thighs with her hands and laughs even. harder. she manages to gasp out between guffaws]

Oh my fucking god. That is fucking perfect. Holy shit. That's like living the dream, smashing the shit outta the class douchebag's dad's car.

[itsnotaonesie]

[i mean AROUND HERE???? maybe]

I mean, I should probably feel bad about feeling good about it? Grand Theft Auto is serious business.

[Not serious enough for him to feel too bad about it, though]

[toiletseat_girl]

[...definitely]

It's serious business if you get caught. Which you didn't. So I say, enjoy it.

[itsnotaonesie]

Yeah?

I mean, yeah, I might go ahead and keep bragging about this one for a while.

[Fuck it, he's going to totally enjoy this one.]

[toiletseat_girl]

As you should. Do you know what I would've done to trash the most popular--and most bitchy--girl in school's car? Lots of terrible, terrible things. Things that are probably illegal in most states. So keep on keepin' on with the bragging. You've earned it.

[yes, continue to enjoy it because he deserves to enjoy things]

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean, to be fair, I didn't steal it just to be a little douchebag. I needed it to catch someone. But I do feel way less bad about stealing that particular car than I would have anyone else's.

[He does deserve to enjoy things but this was still illegal. Badass, but illegal.]

[toiletseat_girl]

So it's like commandeering for a higher purpose. And that higher purpose trashed the fucking car. [she snorts] Besides, rich assholes are insured with an inch of their lives. He probably claimed it as a tax write-off.

[because rich assholes are rich assholes no matter what world you're in]

[itsnotaonesie]

I have a feeling that New York is going to have to make Spider-Man insurance a thing. Not that I like breaking cars and stuff, but if I have to keep stopping overpowered nutjobs that blow things up? I mean, stuff's gonna get broken.

[toiletseat_girl]

You mean there's not already some kind of "act of superhero" insurance? I mean, from the comics I remember reading, there tended to be a lot of collateral damage.
