WHAT in person (also broadcasting)
WHERE In front of Heavenly Grounds
WHEN Day 124, early

[ There's no longer a massive pile of junk in front of Heavenly Grounds. Instead there's a much smaller pile of junk with a nerdy kid in the middle of it, working on a pair of wrist-mounted ... somethings? It shoots some kind of projectile, clearly, but the purpose isn't immediately clear.

He also has a row of small vials spread out on a sheet of metal next to him, each labeled with WEB FLUID in sharpie, followed by a number. He's got twenty. Ish. Over to one side, there's a camera mounted on a robot arm, which is carefully tracking his movements. ]

Okay. That oughta do it. Um, this is Peter Parker and this is my first weirdo coffee AU physics experiment.

[ He holds up a vial for the camera - #7 - before snapping it into the mechanism on his wrist. And then he's gonna give it a shot. Mostly aiming it at a nearby tree, but. Uh. Accidents are gonna happen. A lot of accidents are gonna happen. Web going places it shouldn't, trees accidentally getting pulled up by the roots, that sort of thing.

You can also mill around Heavenly Grounds for that matter, since it's probably open for business. Coffee and a show! ]

[DUCKS]

Good morning, Peter??

[made_up_names]

-- Whoa, sorry! Sorry about that!

[ Peter scrambles to his feet, careful to keep the webshooter pointed at the ground. ]

[appliedscience]

[ mid some kind of lawn destruction, Tony suddenly appears ]

What are you doing?

[made_up_names]

[ Peter jolts. He sure did just pull up a nearby tree by the roots trying to swing from it. ]

-- Mr. Stark! I - uh. I'm doing science?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ absolutely sits out front to watch some of that for at least a little while, there's no way she's passing up that kind of free entertainment



but mostly today she's hanging out inside of Heavenly Grounds, taking up an entire booth or whatever with her laptop, a lot of cords, and something that looks like a jerry-rigged small computer tower. she's typing one handed, the other one tapping out a steady beat— probably to music, since she's got one headphone in.

...of course, if you've got even the barest hint of any sort of spiritual or magical senses, you can tell there's a huge amount of active power localized right there, though it's self-contained enough that you'd have to pass by where she's sitting. heck, even if you don't have anything like that she's putting out enough that getting too close to her seat will give you the sudden unshakable feeling that Something Significant Is Happening Here. ]

[ Peter sure puts on a heck of a show. First he can't get them to fire properly, so the webs just get all over the place. Then he kind of fixes that - but the formula's too sticky, and he ends up dragged along when he fires it off. Then he aims it at a tree. Tries to swing ... pulls the tree out by its roots and topples it.

That. Seems like a good place to stop. He heads inside the shop to get an iced coffee, pausing when he spots Kaiko. ]

Wow, you're intense today.

[mistruths]

What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish?

[appliedscience]

[ Even Tony with no spiritual awareness what so ever can tell something is up ]

Should I be charging you for some kind of liability here?

[starspangledman]

[coming through on a morning run just. catching one of those trees as it comes at him and turning to look for the source—]

What—Peter?

[made_up_names]

[ Peter freezes for a moment, still stuck on the other side of the web. That trial had worked okay except for the part where he'd kind of pulled the tree up instead of swinging underneath it. ]

Heeeeey Mr. Rogers. Are you okay?

[divasterous]

[oho]

Slow down and enjoy the view, soldier—THAT'S A TREE.

[oh good you caught it]

[coldhand]

[stopping short]

I remember your aim being better.

[made_up_names]

It was way better. But - man, Mr. Stark was right. There's something wrong with the physics here.

[appliedscience]

Yeah, he'll get back there, but for now I'd steer clear.

[motherloving]

Well, this is inconvenient.

[ looking, unimpressed, at his golden caduceus-shaped staff, which is now caught by its serpentine top in a tangle of webbing ]

[made_up_names]

[ Whoops. Peter at least looks apologetic. ]

-- Oh, uh. Sorry about that. Here, I can dissolve it for you.

[ He scrambles to retrieve a spray bottle. ]

[mistruths]

But with very little lasting damage, I'd assume.

[mistruths]

What...are you doing?

[made_up_names]

[ Peter brightens a little at Loki's entrance. ]

Testing my web formulas. I didn't have anything left after the purpleocalypse, so I had to remake some.

[divasterous]

Never a dull moment?

[beginningofwisdom]

[murmurs a word, and a shimmering blue-green disc appears in time to catch a strand of web coming uncomfortably close to his face]

Experimentation?

[made_up_names]

-- Whoa! Sorry!

[ He'll stop shooting off webs for a moment to make sure Caster's okay. ]

Yeah, that's the idea! It's not going great so far.

[dranksforthememories]

[ducks some stray web, instinctively sliding into a trip-kick toward the source and then belatedly noticing it's Peter and scrambling to a halt]

Watch it with that!!

[made_up_names]

[ WHOOPS that was the wrong person to shoot at clearly. Peter also does a backflip out of the way, so between the two of them it's fine. ]

Sorry! Sorrysorrysorry! I didn't mean to, I swear!

[flamingprick]

[Rin at least has the foresight to stand on the opposite side of where Peter is aiming, so he just gets a front-row seat to Peter's destruction.

The tree that gets uprooted and tips over is actually pretty impressive.]

That one's a little too strong. What're you going for there, stuff that won't break?

[made_up_names]

[ Peter's freaking out a little, trying to heave the tree back into place. Which he's actually kind of succeeding at. ]

It's - it's gotta be pretty strong, yeah. But not too strong. Or else this happens.

[ He puts his shoulder into it. ]
