[ he's clearly in his office at the hospital, with the little clacky balls and the shittons of heavy textbooks in the background. it looks kind of refined, even if josh is sitting with his feet up on his desk and holding his phone loosely in one hand. ]

Soooo... I've been thinking of like, normal, responsible adult things to do on a weekend that are good for everybody annnnnd barbeques seem to be like the standard good time. So I bought a barbeque and the weather is looking good this weekend, so howsabout it? I'll supply the meat, and like, some veggie options but you're in charge of your own booze.

[ a pause, he points at the screen and squints thoughtfully. ]

... Unless you're not old enough to drink. [he draws his hand back. ] Then no booze for you. And I'll know, don't try to sneak it. I'll just get some sparkling lemonade for you or something.

[ he flicks the clacky balls to get them going. ]

Everybody's invited, especially you newbies. It sucks to be new and know nobody, and like, the Swear-Ins are great but I'm not super into the expectation to sign up. I'm Josh, by the way, Josh Foley. I'm "unsettled" [ heavy airquotes" ] And I work in De Chima General, I'm a healer, and I think that about covers it? Lemme know if you're interested and I'll send you an invite with my address.

Dibs on handling the grill so you don't burn down the house. Don't suppose I can convince you to do something like a park? Or renting some outdoor space? Because, uh, who knows who might respond and come to the house?

Dude we have a backyard that is going totally wasted. And like, if somebody does something sketchy we'll have a ton of other powered people around to kick their ass?

[helpdesk_hero]

We don't have a back yard big enough for this. And come on, imagine fucking BECK showing up?

[His hatred of the man has actively escalated recently.]

Please, we need to be cautious.

private.

[goldtoxicity]

Beck's not getting an invite, and like, if he tries to tag along I'll give him explosive diarhrea.

[helpdesk_hero]

You're kinder than I am. I'd shoot him.

[callmesuperboy]

want any help with that? I've been told I'm pretty good with cooking things.

[ Have a friendly neighborhood Kon, his voice bouncy. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

Oh come on, Kon, you really wanna be stuck at my side all day?

[goldtoxicity]

Hey! I'm going to be cooking too!

[callmesuperboy]

I mean, yes?

Cooking meat, looking fine, and being silly all day with a friend? Why not?

...There is an age limit on alcohol?

[ He's not it, and he doesn't often drink, except his wife serves wine with dinner. Oh well. ]

By 'Healer' you mean you use a gift or power to heal, not medical supplies?

[ Asks the young man with a fresh lightsaber burn on his face. ]

[goldtoxicity]

Yeah, it's like, 21 in the States.

[ probably. he kind of didn't listen to it as a teenager. ]

I'm biokinetic. My powers're all about manipulating biological material. So I just kinda, like, tell the body to heal itself and it does.

[kraythero]

I don't know of any worlds that have a limit such as that, although there must be some, I suppose. I know of some where drinking at all isn't allowed or is pressured to no occur though.

[ He's a Jedi, a lot of rules just don't apply. ]

I think it sounds similar to Force Healing? It's not something I have a talent for so I haven't studied it.

[goldtoxicity]

Its a thing in my world and I think it's one here, but like, teenagers don't always listen to it.

[ yeah he was a shitty teenager. he blinks at that next bit, though. ]

Maybe it's the same concept? I dunno, my powers are the result of a genetic mutation.

[rimuru]

You will need a really big place if you are planning on inviting everyone.

[goldtoxicity]

Our backyard is pretty big.

[ not... not that big. ]

[rimuru]

Then I might drop by since you made it an open invitation.

[goldtoxicity]

You're totally welcome to. Only catch is you gotta give me your name first.

[germhating_hypochondriac]

Hi Josh. Can I get two invites? One for me and one for Richie.

[goldtoxicity]

Hell yeah, man!

[ use better language around kids, dummy. ]

[germhating_hypochondriac]

[Eddie's heard worse and said worse.]

We can bring pop and juice.

[goldtoxicity]

Nah, don't worry about it. It's on me.

[ like he's not gonna invest in a crapton of booze but he can get some kids some soda. ]

You guys got any allergies?

[callmesuperboy]

I'll bring extra food, in case Bart wants to come along.

[ Yes, because Kon things about that ahead. ]

[goldtoxicity]

Oh, yeah, please do. I definitely don't have enough for speedster metabolism.

[callmesuperboy]

I figured. Thankfully, my career is kicking off, and I can afford to make sure we do not go unfed.

Any requests on supplies? Have flight, will grab from anywhere.

Private, video; sorry! A bit late with this

[ttwwiiccee]

I wouldn't mind coming, but depending on who else turns up you probably won't want me there.
