[Action] Please don't rock my boat

[promisebreaker]

[ Peter is sitting cross-legged on the sand inland far enough that he's past the rising tide. He's got a stick in one hand and he's drawing something in the sand. He's very clearly focused on what he's drawing. Occasionally, he reaches up and blurs out what he's written with the heel of his hand then re-draws it.

If one stands over his shoulder and looks, his sand drawings are clearly plans for some kind of shelter. He's taking their mission seriously, not necessarily because it was dictated to them, but because he wants to be prepared. No one will be surprised that he was a boy scout when he was younger. ]

i keysmashed. why so cute, peter.

[antiapocalypse]

[ she kind of can't handle that for a minute, and then she's smiling so hard ]

All better.

he can't help it! He's just a precious baby

[promisebreaker]

[ he looks up at her, appreciating that smile for a minute before he sits back and nods. ]

All better. [ he bites his bottom lip and looks down at the drawing. ] Wanna help me gather up materials for this?

<333

[antiapocalypse]

I think I can handle that.

Belatedly I realized, she really can't break him.

[promisebreaker]

[He stands up.] We're going to need some good sized branches. I wish they'd given us tools to work with.

[He flexes his wrists. He's wearing his shooters and they're loaded so he'll be able to bind together pretty much anything they find. He can break branches and limbs, but getting the right break (and a clean one) might be more difficult.]

what. why would she want to break him :(

[antiapocalypse]

[ limited supply of webbing material, Peter! ]

Well -- maybe they did.

well, no. I just meant he's durable. Lol

[promisebreaker]

[Very true. With no promise of any more. He'll have to use it sparingly. Damn. That means no swinging through the trees just because it's fun...because it is. ]

Maybe. I guess we should start looking for that first.

/kofs meaningfully /peter parker shame on you

[antiapocalypse]

If it's anything like in Survivor, they'll...

[ there she trails off ] Wow. I don't remember. Not even a little bit.

[ in her defense there were some cute boys without shirts, but now she is thinking "that can't be a good sign for the show. no way it's gonna last."

because she's from 2001. and she has no idea what's to come. ]

[promisebreaker]

Kiss each other? Stab someone in the back? Sell their grandma to win?

[He's taking a stab at it. He's watched it enough, but never got really invested.]

You know they're never going to actually let anyone starve or get hurt, right? I mean not on purpose. Accidents happen, but if they see it coming...

[antiapocalypse]

[ giving you a slightly weird but not unamused look ] I was trying to remember how they gave the people their supplies, [ that's... a thing they do right? ] but I haven't watched all that much of it.

[promisebreaker]

Uhm...there were contests. Obstacle courses and quizes, competitions. That sort of thing. We might end up competing against each other. Or on teams. Think they'd let us pick our teams? That could be fun. I mean...eventually. It could also be...unfair. [Because of the whole abilities things.]

[antiapocalypse]

[ she grins ] Well, I know who I'd want on my team, anyway.

[promisebreaker]

[ he can't help but grin back. she's got one of those smiles. ]

Oh. I see how it is. Already thinking ahead, planning. Guess I'm going to have to get on that too.

[antiapocalypse]

Right, I'm the one planning. [ with a glance at your sketch of a settlement! ]

[promisebreaker]

Okay, so you're just the one picking teams.

[antiapocalypse]

All the devious plotting of a six-year-old playing Dodge Ball.

[promisebreaker]

As a self professed nerd, don't underestimate the devious plottings of a six-year-old when Dodge Ball is involved.

[ Said teasingly, but yes. Nerd. Bullying was pretty much just a part of school. Thanks, Flash.]

[antiapocalypse]

[ aww. her smile softens, and then she bumps his shoulder lightly with hers ]

I think nerds are a seriously underrated demographic.

[promisebreaker]

[ he chuckles and bumps her shoulder back lightly. ]

Someone's got to invent all the cool stuff.

[ he's pretty at peace with all the nerd stuff, even moreso now. ]

[antiapocalypse]

Definitely. Where would we even be without DVDs?

[promisebreaker]

And cell phones and remotes and televisions and mp3 players. I mean, we have a lot to thank the geeks and the nerds of the world for.

[antiapocalypse]

[ "MP3 players" works okay, but call them iPods and she's gonna stare at you blankly ]

I'm still waiting for my flying car, though.

Or. Well, any car, personally.

[promisebreaker]

[ he would have had some explaining to do. ]

I kinda prefer a skateboard, but then I live in New York City.

[antiapocalypse]

[ dooon't worry it's totally coming ]

Sunnydale isn't exactly known for its subways. Or buses. Or taxis...

[promisebreaker]

[ yeah, it's inevitable. ]

Small town? [ Because that's the only reason he can imagine for not having public transit. ]

How was that?
