February HoA Open Log

[magnetic_magpie]

Who: All House of Awesome people and guests
When: Month of February
Where: The House of Awesome
Summary: Open Log for HoA CR
Warnings: Will be updated as needed!

((OOC: So! Please see the House of Awesome Metapost for info on the house. ANYONE not Lucifer can enter the porch - and while you CAN hit the buzzer to have someone meet you, you can ALSO just walk in! Remember folks, Lucifer CAN get on the roof, k? The inner door is only locked AFTER Sirens. Wander around the ground floor, or go visit people's apartments. The POOL cannot be gotten to without a resident though. If you want Danger Room time, please label your threads as Danger Room threads since it has limited access. Tag your subject line with the date and time, ok? And any warnings if needed. Castiel is the only angel with access to the levels lower than the pool, his apartment is Michael proofed, as is Magneto's office (which is also Gabriel proofed). Magneto's condo, the main kitchen, and some other places may be Hellhound Proof.))

A whole week? That's being generous. Granted, you'd probably get a ton of research done, and only have to worry about running out of coffee, but I'd give it forty-eight hours tops before your paranoia kicked in and convinced you that it was all some Mojo trap.

[Because, that's how long she'd last.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Sounds about correct.

[He pulls his feet up, hovering, sipping his beer slowly.]

I'm not entirely convinced that isn't the case here.

[thelittlestbub]

Only reason I'm convinced it's not? Too boring. Wouldn't get enough ratings. That and usually Spiral shows herself. Two years, not a peep.

[Of course if Spiral showed up and was stuck just as them, Jubes would be convinced it was a Mojo plot and she'd pissed him off again.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Good point.

[And he laughs.]

How long have you been painting that one?

[thelittlestbub]

Started it this weekend. [A small smile.] Francis said he missed Paris, and I figured a few paintings and a big mural might help....

[Blink!]

Oh! That reminds me. I need to paint a mural in Francis's apartment, but I was going to do it of the Champs-Élysée, and was wondering if you could rig like lights, so that when the sun goes down, or the room is dark, it looks like Paris, lit up?

[magnetic_magpie]

I miss the Paris nightline as well. Of course I will. Does he know what you would like to do or are we surprising him?

[He sets his bottle down on the floor.]

Do you have a plan started?

[thelittlestbub]

Surprising. I don't want him knowing about it. I told him I would paint something for him, but... don't want him to know about it.

[She unfolds from the stool she was sitting on and stretches. Putting her brush down, she goes over and pulls out her artist's case. One of her many splurges, since she didn't have rent. She flips through and pulls out a long piece of paper and scoots fabric over, laying it out on the table.]

It should take me a day or two to sketch it, four to paint it, maybe longer.

[magnetic_magpie]

All right.

[He touches lightly on the ground, walking over to look over her plan.]

I'll work the hardware in after you sketch it, then?

[thelittlestbub]

Thank you. I'm hoping he likes it. I'm drawing everything from memory and the very few pics I have on my phone.

[magnetic_magpie]

I have some tintypes, if you'd like them.

[Because tintypes are more stable than photographs around his powers, and those he can 'draw' from memory.]

[thelittlestbub]

Sure. If you don't mind me borrowing them for a few days. I've got work the next few days and I want to finish this painting before I start working on this.

[She rolls up the sketch again, and settles back to her painting.]

Is it wrong to pity Edgeworth? Because I kinda do. He sees everything so black and white, he's missing out on half the fun of being alive.

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't bring them down tomorrow morning. I don't mind at all.

[He settles into a hover, watching.]

I would suppose not. I don't pity him - he's dangerous for how he thinks. I've seen were it leads for others.

[thelittlestbub]

[She frowns, still working on the painting.]

No. Pity is the right word. Because, eventually, something is going to snap him out of his black and white world and it's going to destroy him. He's... rigid, fragile, like glass spun too far out.

[She changes brushes.]

Not that I don't believe him capable of some pretty heinous acts, I do. But I think he'll shatter before he breaks like that.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm more concerned about what he is willing to not see until he breaks. Understand, I wouldn't want him to be broken - but I'd rather it be him than those who rely on him to protect them due to his profession.

[thelittlestbub]

[A glance over her shoulder.]

That's where we come in, remember? Superheroes, defending others, yada yada yada.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm not really a superhero.

And we can't be everywhere at once.

[thelittlestbub]

[A soft snort of amusement.]

You're more of a hero than you let yourself realize, Magsy. Which is probably why you don't call yourself a hero.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm not hero Jubilee. But you kids have a shot at being. I'm okay with that.

[thelittlestbub]

Ah ah ah, Magsy, not the way it works.

[A smirk, while she keeps painting.]

See, you don't get to define what is a hero to other people. So, if I decide to stick you with the label, you're stuck with it, so there.

[magnetic_magpie]

[His mouth tics, an almost smile.]

Thank you Jubilee.

[thelittlestbub]

That's what I'm here for, Magsy, bolstering morale and all that.

[Smirk. She knows she's adorable.]

Queeestion... does Kenzo have access to the Danger Room? Ooor, really, can I take him down there?

[INNOCENCE.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[She is.]

You can take him down there, yes.

He can't be in there alone or access it alone - same as back home.

[thelittlestbub]

Cool. I wouldn't leave him alone in there, anyway. With our luck, Loki would start playing with it, or Deadpool would decide he was a new playmate.

[Because this makes sense in their world.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Neither have access to change a sim not their own. Loki cannot access it at all without one of the three of us.

[He though of that.]

When do you want it, I'll make sure everyone stays away.

[thelittlestbub]

That's actually comforting in a weird way.

[She shrugs.]

Dunno. Have to call him and see when he can spend the night again. Between our schedules, sometimes its hit or miss.

[And she is totally chill with this. Not that she doesn't love Kenzo, she does, but she likes that he has his life and she has hers.]
