voidtreckernet | audio: day 23/morningish

Okay, so...boredom is still a massive issue on the train, I see.

[ Good morning to you, too, Gwen. You've been back literally two seconds. Okay so more like six days. This is the first appearance she's put in. She only just started showing up for work and even then, she works quick and gets out of there. Goes find Peter to spend time with him. She left him for a few days and wants to make sure he doesn't do the same, even if it wasn't something she controlled. ]

So, we're gonna play a game. It's a train-wide game. Anyone can play. The only off-limits areas for game-play are the medical carriages and the kitchen. It'd be stupid to play in there. This also means you can't just hang out in there to avoid playing. That's cheating.

We're gonna play 'The Floor Is Lava!' Basically what this entails is someone, anyone, can at any time say 'the floor is lava!' and you have five seconds to get off the floor. If you're still on the floor after five seconds, you lose. The floor is lava for two minutes after it being called, so you can't touch the floor for that amount of time.

Enjoy!

Also. Hi, to the new people. I'm Gwen Stacy.

[ Pause. Silence and then before she logs off; ]

The floor is lava.

[Never mind that he was slightly sweaty and winded from sparring with Lightning. He's wearing a black tank and the cargo pants in his cabin and sitting cross-legged on the table the ICP is on.]

Exactly how are you going to know if we're on something and not just on the floor with this being on audio?

[Guess who is bored enough to play.]

Well, at some point, I'm going to be in the same room as you. Or someone who is playing is going to be in the same room as you. So, there's that.

[ Gwen's on the ceiling, headed towards her and Peter's room. He is, after all, waiting to die until she gets there. Occasionally, there's use of webbing to speed herself along. As a spider-brat does. ]

So until someone sees me I could be cheating and no one would know.

[He gives her a mischievious grin.]

Pretty much. I'm keeping the rules fairly light for now.

Maybe some day we'll get some kind of entertainment center on the train. Like a mini movie theater or something. For now, this is what we have.

It's only light because you're slacking on enforcing the rules. Shouldn't it be your job to mediate as you're the lava caller?

Do you know where Peter is?

I'm not the only Lava Caller, though. Anyone can call it at any time.

Peter's in our room. Dying dramatically because I called the floor is lava and he only just woke up. I'm going to go make sure he doesn't actually perish.

Well, in my book, you're now the Lava Queen. Or Lava Lady if you're prefer.

[He laughs and looks around the room for what he could jump to.]

Any chance you could steal one of his web shooters for me?

Lava Queen. I like that one better. It's just a hair away from Lava HBIC, but that's going a bit extra.

[ Gwen smirks and then kinda points out a counter near Mr. Stark before she starts counting down. ]

Five...four...three...two...one.

[ Did he make it? He probably made it. ]

Why?

Lava HBIC? What's that?

[He springs off the table and somehow manages to get to the counter. He leans over and gets the door to his room open.]

Uh.. duh. It'll make this game easier. Come on, work with me LQ.

Lava Head Bitch In Charge. See? It's kinda extra. And implies I'm going to be mean.

[ Which she is. But. Who needs to know that? Literally no one, that's who. ]

How about I loan you one of mine so we don't waste his web-fluid? Mine run on humidity and hydration. It's kinda dry on the train, sure, but there's enough for small things.

You're questioning me about wasting his web-fluid?

[Seriously? It was a good reason, he'll admit it was just amusing when Peter made stupid hammocks with it. How much fluid did that use?]

And yes, I suppose that's a bit 'extra'. You know what.. I'm going to win this game without those.

[ Probably more than Peter should be using, if Gwen's gonna be honest. She tries to help when she can. ]

You win by staying off the floor for the entire two minute duration. I'd say you're gonna do just fine.

... we need a game with an actual way of keeping track of who's winning.

[This one sucks.]

What if we're all in the same room?

Last one on a surface is out.

Which car should we use?

[He considers their options a moment.]

What if we... ever play dodge ball? That's simple and decisive.

You really want to try to play dodge ball against a couple spider-kids?

I mean, it's not like I can shut my senses off.

[ She can. She's just being kind of a troll right now. ]

Don't use the web? Sure. I'll take you on.

[He would totally lose, but he wasn't going to back down.]

And when I win, what do I get?

[ Make it interesting, Mr Stark. Let's have it. ]

You want something other than the sheer appreciation of being a winner?

[He thinks for a moment.]

I'll take over one of your shifts in the kitchen?
