video | ❝ it's the end of the world as we know it ❞

[quickfingers]

[There's a crackling sound to the audio as the feed starts, screen black until it becomes a blur - wind rumbling through the microphone before the image settles on a hair-raising view of the city of Maurtia Falls from up, up above. Peter gives a little kick to one of his dangling legs, not at all nervous about how precariously he may be perched on the edge of this building. In fact, when he turns the camera around, he looks completely at ease and flashes both a grin and a peace sign to the lens.]

Hey, check this out this view. I could look at it every day and never get bored. Get it? Eh? Eh? Is it too soon to be making bad jokes about a terrible situation? 'Cause that's kinda my thing. But so's trying to make bad situations better by presenting amazing solutions. Totally revolutionary ones. Hear me out.

[No, he's not going to send himself hurtling into any nukes. Or off of this building.]

If we're doomed to repeat today for all eternity, why not choose to go out with all-you-can-eat pizza? And not only that, free all-you-can-eat pizza. I deliver faster than than my boss is gonna forget he won't get paid, so order up and order big. Let Porter Pizza cater your amazing parties and hedonistic delights tonight. And every other tonight yet to come. Just, y'know? Maybe invite the delivery kid to maybe have a drink? Since all other tips are gonna be bullshit by morning.

[Peter snorts, catching his tongue between his teeth because he's taking a back seat approach to all this. There's nothing he can do at this point that will have much if any affect, and rather than let the helplessness get to him he's got to focus on something else instead. Bring a little levity to the situation.] Anyone else starting to make an end of the world playlist, or is it just me?

[He raises a brow, some music turning up in the background before he gives a little shrug to the camera.]

I want your recs.

prince 1999
morrissey every day is like sunday

do u deliver to the meadows?
or r u going to that party?

[quickfingers]

A+ on the morissey. These are both going on the playlist, gracias.
(ringwald, tho? and nothing from the pretty in pink soundtrack?)

I can deliver anywhere p much. I saw there's notices for a killer party, is the place to be this-today?

[deadlight]

[ fair point, now she's mentally going over the soundtrack. ]

u can't go wrong with psychedelic furs
but i like 'love my way' better

yeah i think so
it's an end of the world party so you could bring/play yr mix

[quickfingers]

sounds tempting, I'll think on it. Haven't been to the meadows before, the hype better be worth the trip.

I gotta pad out this playlist a little first, at any rate. Any other hits? I'm thinking Final Countdown is a must.

[deadlight]

[ yeah, she's never been to a party ever in her life before, so when the invitation came in, there was no way she could say no. ]

tell me about it

i dunno if you need suggestions u r pretty good at this
do songs that're like about death in general count?
don't fear the reaper - blue oyster cult
bad moon rising - creedence clearwater revival

[divaricate]

Do I still get free pizza if I ask for pineapple and feta?

[quickfingers]

Normally my answer would be 'no, and you are no longer my sister for these cruel crimes against pizza' but y'know what? The world's ending on a time loop for us so - so you know what? Eat all the feta and pineapple your heart desires.

[A pause.] How're you doing, anyway?

[divaricate]

Hell yeah. I'll take it.

[y-yay??????]

Um, terrible. Oh yeah I think I forgot to tell you I moved to Maurtia Falls recently. Seemed like the best place to have at least three different ways to ignore my problems ... and either feel too much or too little, but I can't decide which way it's leaning towards so pft.

[After emotionless-gate and dying-gate she figured she'd spare him her emotional drama this time around for as long as she could. It's kind of funny in a sad way how full circle this feels. After Peter left here the first time, she didn't say a word about it to Erik even though she knew he was upset about it; now Erik and Charles and Lorna have gone and she hasn't said much if anything to Peter about it. But maybe that's more out of guilt she feels over the fact that she knows it should hurt worse to have Erik gone, since he was here longer than she's been here, but what she feels like hurts the most is the fact that Bruce was ported out too. She'd had and lost parents before, and she'd had and lost a sibling before, but it's not like she'd ever been married before -- no one else had ever loved her like that before anywhere. And she's pretty sure no one else would, considering how poorly her other attempts here at a relationship had gone.]

[quickfingers]

Hey, welcome to the Falls. [Peter smiles a bit, nice to know family is still nearby.]

You know if shit gets rough you can talk to me, yeah? Especially after... stuff. Recently.

[divaricate]

You've been pulling overtime on my drama lately. You should get a break sometimes, you know.

[maximoff, maximoff..... give her a second, she'll get there, probably.]

smashing pumpkins - the end is the beginning is the end

sisters of mercy - black planet
and gimme shelter

get to the meadows dude.

[quickfingers]

nice picks. [He's going to flip through them now, playing them out loud one at a time.]

everyone's selling me on this meadows party. What if I show up and it's a total bummer? What's the status on +1s?

actions in here

[fauxmarth]

[there he is.

Lucina swoops in from below -- easier to ID a face from there as opposed to the top of his head -- and floats upward, hands on her hips as she comes eye-level. she looks a little annoyed, but more relieved than anything.]

What on earth has you all the way up here, Peter? [please don't say to try and get a different view of that godsforsaken missile.]

[quickfingers]

[Peter's a bit startled because nobody told him Odin's cousin could fly, and he leans back a little while dishing her a wide eyed look. He's still got his legs hanging over the edge of the building, ankles crossing while he cants his head and meets her gaze.]

Hey. Just admiring the view, what about you? Didn't know you could... [He gestures. Fly.]

[fauxmarth]

[blink. could--what? oh.]

A-ah, forgive me. It--I suppose it simply doesn't come up in conversation. [her eyes wince.] And conversation has been in short supply lately. [and not just because of...this. Peter did spirit off for days on end with her cousin, after all.

but that's not the matter. she shifts and floats over to the edge of the building to settle at his side, glancing out at the view.]

Just...making sure all are accounted for.

[quickfingers]

It's hella cool though, I'll give you that. My dad could do something kinda similar. [With metal to lift him around, at least.]

Nice t'see you again though. You been well?

voice forever

[wronganswer]

[ Anderson sounds a little harried, like she's busy and distracted, and clipped with the professionalism of soldier-on-a-job. But not emotionless. She has a soft-edged sort of voice. ]

Peter, you okay? Planning on staying there? It's getting chaotic down in the city.

[quickfingers]

Hey there, Judge Judy. What's up? [His voice is a little lighter, but he has picked up on her tone.

He lays back against the cement edge of the building, looking up at the sky with one leg still hanging off. Portrait of leisure right here.] I'm thinking of admiring the sights a little more, yeah. But how chaotic's chaotic? You in the middle of that choas yourself?

[wronganswer]

Yeah, I am. Trying to keep things down to a dull roar. There's a lot of crime occurring.

[ She sounds pretty composed and unruffled, at least, just-- busy. This is more like her normal life than anything else she's experienced so far, so it's a relief, in a certain way. She knows exactly what the rules are, for once.

It's still throwing her off a little to be addressed so casually, but not in a bad way. She's just completely forgotten how this goes. ]

Plus, it's nice to be useful.

tfw u see ur typos and try to persevere

[quickfingers]

Yeah, I bet. I'm kinda wrestling with nothing to do - hence the whole pizza gig. I'd like to think there'd be other ways to be useful but... haven't found them yet?

[It's kinda shitty. The whole scenario.]

People sound like they're being assholes just to be assholes, since it's all gonna reset anyway.
