PARTY ROCK IS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT
WHO: THE JUSTICE LEAGUE, and approved plus-ones
WHERE: WAYNE MANOR, De Chima
WHEN: LATER THAN INTENDED, mid-September
WHAT: TEAM MIXER, and poor life choices
WARNINGS: None yet but who knows.
Wayne Manor is already a sight, tucked up in one of the richer neighborhoods of De Chima, but now it's decked out for a party, with colored lights lining the path up the driveway and to the front door. Just inside the door is a table with "Hi, my name is..." NAMETAGS. There's some markers in multiple colors laying around, and a note saying "Real names, nicknames, or code names. No pressure!"
Clearly, no one's being forced to give up their secret identity for the sake of team building... but it looks like they may have to give up their dignity, because there is definitely a sitting room full of ICE BREAKERS. There's instructions to "Find 10 things in common with other people" and a bowl of index card with various different questions on them to draw at random. Out on the rear courtyard, there's an obstacle course set up--even encompassing some of the pool--for blindfolded navigation and three-legged racing, and a small stage set up for trust falls.
Luckily, the overwhelming lameness is saved by FOOD, though. Two long buffet tables are set up and covered with take out of all sorts. It's not exactly the sort of catered meals you'd expect for the fanciness of the manor, but hey, who's going to say no to free pizza, wings, chinese food, and beer? There's also a wet bar by the pool stocked with liquor and soft drinks. And there's music playing through speakers tucked around the yard, if anyone's in the dancing mood.
Last, but not least, there's a huge flatscreen tv and killer sound system set up inside, with several large plush couches and chairs set up around it. Someone's Wii is set up with the newest LUIGI KART and controllers for as many people as possible, along with a selection of other games and streaming video.

Skeets | ota
If you could be in the movie of your choice, what movie would you choose and what character would you play?
[ You may also find him later hovering in front of the Wii and Luigi Kart, ready to play. HE doesn't have a controller in his hands but he explains -- ]
I've connected to the wii to control my character directly.
Re: Skeets | ota
Oh, dang. You know, I've never thought of this one before? Maybeeee... Jurassic Park? I'd play Dr Ellie Grant, but only if this was a time warp situation and we'd still have have Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcom.

Where I'm from, Jurassic Park is actually a documentary about this place called the Savage Land which is also full of dinosaurs and has a theme park for some reason, so they'd be real dinos instead of robot dinos, but frankly, that just sounds even more awesome.
no subject
But tell me about the "Savage Land".
no subject
I've never been there myself, but man, if I can ever afford a trip to Antarctica, I will be there in an instant.

no subject
Uh... is that going to give you some kind of unfair advantage?
no subject
Your opposable thumbs could be considered an unfair advantage otherwise, sir. But if you're bothered, I can take a human form temporarily for the sake of making the skin fair, even though I don't have as much experience with using my hands as you do.
no subject
[ This is new information to Cisco. ]
me: what the fuck was that typo i made last tag it's creepy
Re: Skeets | ota
[ Hey there, Skeets! Jaime's busy bounding on over and hopping over the couch to grab a controller and sit beside him. He's already feeling more comfortable with Skeets than he is with the people he doesn't know, anyway.
But then, Khaji makes a long, blaring noise of disapproval in the back of his skull, at which point Jaime wrinkles his nose (which basically creates a large crease in the middle of his mask, which is as off-putting as it sounds) and waves one hand in the air. ]
Shush, I'm playing now. Which character are you gonna pick?
no subject
[ Theoretically.
He loses selection on the screen over to Toad. ]
This one, sir.
no subject
[ Okay, that's a bald-faced lie. But he's not going to translate low beeping of displeasure, because he's not Khaji's interpreter, and because he's just being rude at this point. Khaji's been around AIs long enough to learn how to be polite, but then again, he hasn't actually made nice with any other AI. The closest he got was Catherine, but she was only around for a couple of months, and she was... special, even for a lady who got turned into an AI, or whatever. She was still more clinical than any of the actual AIs he's met. ]
Good choice! I'm gonna go with my guy Baby Wee-Gee. [ He chooses him, lickety split. ] Better watch out. This game's my specialty - it's the only game I've been able to beat Milagro at since she somehow got lightning thumbs.
no subject
[ Skeets's files are particularly in-depth about Booster's associates. ]
I'll refrain from going easy on you then, sir.
Doreen Green / Squirrel Girl OTA!
SQUIRREL GIRL', then'DOREEN', then 'SQUIRREL GIRL WHO IS ALSO DOREEN GREEN, WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED', in increasingly tiny print. She's showed up out of costume though, and is rockin' the squirrel tail out in plain sight. ]Ok, we are gonna break the heck out of this ice. So! First question: "If you could choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why?" Your turn! No picking the one animal-themed question, though, I feel like that's a little too obvious.
[ Later on, she's curled up in one of the armchairs with her tail tucked around her legs, cheering on whoever's losing at Luigi Kart. ]
COME ON, KING SPOOKY! You can do it!
no subject
Oh man, like... pick which age to be forever and never age from there? [ He scratches his chin, thinking, then smiles. ] I dunno, I'm pretty happy with my late twenties so far.
[ He picks up an index card, and makes an impressed face. ] Okay, a classic: You're on a desert island. What three items do you bring with you?
no subject
[ Doreen thinks about it for a few seconds, staring up at the ceiling and biting her lip a little, then breaks into a grin and starts counting the items off on her fingers. ]
Okay, first, one of Tony's Iron Man suits so I could fly out of there anytime I wanted, two, a surfboard because I've always wanted to learn how to surf and a desert island seems like a good place to do it, and three, some kind of portable desalinating water-purifier.
"If you woke up tomorrow as an animal, what animal would you choose to be and why?"
no subject
Okay, uhhh... [ What animal, what animal? ] Probably one of those African grey parrots. So I'd still be able to talk.
no subject
[ Spoken like a true eighteen year old! He is not yet aware that he's still going to feel just as out of his depth when he's twenty-five, but then again, Jaime's also not going around advertising his age. Lucky for him, it's pretty dang hard to tell when he's covered in his carapace. He looks less like he's one age or another, and more like a creepy little alien.
Which is a win. Kind of. ]
Um, let's see here... geez, who wrote these things? Oh, here's one! If you could live anywhere, where could you live? 'Cause I'm guessing the answer to that one isn't Florida.
Batman | Open to Nobody

Cisco Ramon | ota
At some point in the night, he's wandering around, looking at all the fancy decor with an impressed look on his face. Whoever happens to be nearby, he asks, ] So do you know this Bruce Wayne guy? Seems weird he'd let us party in his house then, like, not show up.
no subject
[ This is a fun reminder why Ted hates secret identities. He's loitering around the dining room with a couple of slices of pizza and a beer, still annoyed that Batman wouldn't grace them with his presence even for a few minutes. ]
I live here too, and I figured it'd be more fun to throw this thing here than at the Hall. That'd be too much like a bad office party. Anyway, Bruce had some other stuff to do tonight, apparently, even though I told him he was more than welcome to drop in.
no subject
[ He's like, on extra alert not to spill anything or mess the house up in any way. ]
