audio: day 23/morningish - from the dressing car

[hibana_incursa]

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.

[ Gwen is as surprised as he is, eyes wide with shock. A faint smile appears on her face, her eyes on his as he pulls away.

Why was he pulling away so soon? Was it her? She bets it’s her. Her lips are chapped or something. But then she recognizes the look on his face. It’s the same look of horror he had after he told her he loved her. ]

I’m glad you did that.

[ See, Peter? She’s fine with it. ]

I just...uh. I mean, if you want to do that again, I’m not going to stop you. It’s just I didn’t get the chance to kiss back and I would like to. If you want.

Oh.

[ He sits still a moment, not actually processing her words. ]

Oh!

Yeah.. okay... uh... lemme just...

[ He scoots a little closer to her leans into kiss her again, his hand coming up to gently cup the side of her face. Is this right? This is how they do it in movies and stuff, right? ]

[ Gwen leans her head in his hand a moment, closing her eyes as he kisses her. Kissing him in return. It has her heart racing, but her thoughts have evened out. Her kiss is gentle, not intrusive. Nothing more than a press of her lips against his for a few moments before she pulls away, eyes still closed as her forehead leans against his. There’s a soft sigh from her before she says anything and it’s just one word, spoken softly. ]

...wow.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter can't help the small bit of laughter that escapes him at her word. ]

Yeah...

[ He agrees, resting his forehead against her and just... catching his breath? He doesn't remember losing it. After a moment though he just smirks before moving a little closer to whisper in her ear: ]

Hey Gwen, the floor is lava.

[ He pulls back immediately hops up to attach himself to the ceiling. ]

Son of a —-

[ Don’t worry, Peter. With the way she said it and the sudden look of highly entertained alarm in her eyes, she was not calling you a son of a bitch. She’s sure your mom and your Aunt May were and are some lovely, to-be-feared-and-respected ladies. The second she can, Gwen rolls back towards the door. Her feet stick long enough for her to push into a crouch and then it’s an angled and nimble jump to the ceiling.

Once again, she’s hanging by her hands but that changes as she curls up and presses her feet and then back to the surface. This all takes three seconds, max, with how quick she is. . ]

Easiest game of The Floor Is Lava ever.

[ And best. Clearly. ]

Mr Stark wants to play Dodge Ball someday. I haven’t played since getting bitten.
