Owner	Pose
Peter Parker	Pool party at the boss's place. Why would anyone turn THAT down? Peter steps out from under the overhang, wearing a pair of flip-flops and a pair of loose-fitting swim trunks. If it was someone from Midtown High, they would have been gobsmacked how the "King of Geeks" looked like he had been shotgunning steroids. He wasn't muscle-bound like Colossus or the Hulk (but then, who WAS?) but he had the finely-cut physique of a model/athlete. He tempered his own personal view of what the Spider-Bite had given to him with what he had initially done with it. He looked around as he unscrewed the plastic bottle of Cherry Coke, looking for his boss and the Super-Agent-Warrior-Girlfriend. Wow, wouldn't be too long before her title would get longer than even Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man."
Ted Kord	Only, the boss is the only one in attendance so far. Ted is over by an enormous grill giving instructions to a drone with a spatula. "Okay now we redefined rare because we are not having any more food poisoning cases. Got it? Good." In truth the party looks like it will be underway, to celebrate the acceptance of the new ultraslim smartphone: the Kord Less. Ted looks over at a banner and says, "Screw that advertising agent! I like that name. It's humble and the apps are going to blow people away. Ted's muscular development is nothing to sneeze at, though the Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda cargo shorts manage to hide it. the tinted goggles are also a little much. He spots his first arrivals and hurries over to "Peter, glad you could make it! How do you do miss, Theodore Steven Kord, engineer, industrialist and sometimes superhero... despite what people say." He gives a small bow.
Mary Jane Watson	Speaking of finely-cut physiques, Mary Jane Watson arrives, wearing a one-piece green swimsuit with red trim. Her red hair is tied back in a ponytail, and she definitely has the athletic model look down as she grins over at Peter. "Nice seeing you in clothes that aren't too baggy for once, Tiger." She tilts her head, looking around the pool area as she does, of course, have on a pair of sunglasses. She nods over at Ted Kord, "Nice to meet you Mister Kord, you can call me MJ." Her lips curve in an easy grin, as she glances around, "Nice place you got here." Her eyes flicker around, as she takes in her surroundings... not that she's expecting trouble. But then, with her new job, she always seems to find it...
Peter Parker	Peter looks over to MJ as she steps out, and...Whoof. Wow. He's got that look on his face again, the Network Down, Try Again in 30 Seconds look. "Uhm...uhm...I, uhm, didn't feel I had to...uhm, worry about just anyone seeing me. Kinda...hard...to explain the sudden health spurt..."
Ted Kord	Ted Kord stage whispers, "Remember to breathe... and let me know if she has a single, older sister. MJ, please... call me Ted. The rule is I'm not Mr. Kord unless you've messed up badly. Now... I have a confession to make. The party starts in two hours. I had an interesting case I wanted to consult with Peter about so, you can join us, you can chill out here, enjoy the pool all to yourself... anything you want. It's a sort of... Lego creature."
Mary Jane Watson	MJ flashes Peter a relaxed grin, reaching over and lightly pinching his arm, "Easy, Peter, it's just me." Which is probably easy for her to say, but she does plant a light kiss on his cheek, before turning towards Ted. "That works for me Ted, I mean, I'm not much on the science, but I'd be lying if I wasn't curious about what sort of LEGO creature you managed to find." And the observant might notice that strapped to her thigh is a curious looking device. Almost like a hunting knife sheath, though there's an electronic doohickey there instead of an actual knife. No blade visible, however.
Peter Parker	Peter blinks by the sudden absurdity. "MJ, there is no such thing as 'just' you..." Then a new case is announced and sudden Ted is getting more attention than MJ and her odd...accessory. "Lego...creature?" Now he's got the Scientist Look MJ knows well. She had seen it quite a few times herself. The possibility of something new to discover.
Ted Kord	Ted Kord leads the young people back into the air conditioning of the penthouse. "Yeah a vicious little pudd I call Brickhead. It... it's not supposed to do that... " He trails off pointing to a biaarrely colored little homunculus perched on a drone's head working at the wiring. The creature spit a block at Ted who ducks before the drone it rides takes to the air and flies for an open window. "Hey come back here! Let him alone!" Ted runs to the desk to hit the control for the window.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane twists a bit, reaching down to draw the metal device from the sheath on her leg. Then, with a *snaphiss* the blade ignites with azure energy, not /quite/ a lightsaber, as technically Whitman calls it a 'photonic sword'. But sure, it looks like a lightsaber, anyway. MJ then glances over at Ted, "How dangerous /is/ this thing, anyway?" before passing Peter a wry look.
Peter Parker	Peter blinked. "Ah, heck..." he said quietly. His Spider-Sense was already tingling, a low-grade uncomfortable hum, and he ran for the beat-up-looking backpack. He had to get dressed instead of undressed this time, at least...
Ted Kord	Ted Kord opens a drawer and pulls his trademark hood and goggles from it. He buckles his gun belt on. He points at a drone who comes in and yells, "Bobo! Follow Drone 3! Go!" The little blue drone shoots out of the window. "How dangerous? The hacking is new but it can vampirize Legos and add to its body mass. The little runt is probably going to make a beeline for a Lego factory or store. Follow me!" He lets out a piercing whistle as he runs for the doors.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane makes a face, "Oh, for..." She shakes her head, looking over at Peter, "Why do I have the feeling that I'm not going to want to file any sort of report about this." She pauses, then tilts her head to the side, "Yeah, I'm finally going into a fight without a full suit, har har har. Very funny." She says that quietly to herself, as apparently Sonja is somewhat amused at the situation. Or just enjoying the fact that MJ is going into a fight in a swimsuit, if not an actual chainmail bikini. And with that, she follows after Ted, though she turns off her sword as she goes, just keeping it in hand.
Peter Parker	Peter is still slipping on the suit when he sees what MJ is armed with. HOLY TOLEDO OMGWTFBBQ SHE HAS A LIGHTSABER?!? "Focus, Pinky," he said to himself as he slipped on the mask and webshooters, powering up the mask. "What's the frequency that drone is running on? It'll help me track it!"
Ted Kord	Ted Kord stands out on the deck and yells, "Come on Baby!! Kordband #6. Are you going to swing or fly?" Out on the East River there is a geyser of spray reaching nearly as high as the penthouse.
Mary Jane Watson	MJ frowns, "Well, I'm thinking I'll need a ride, Tiger!" She glances back over her shoulder at Peter, "Sonja isn't quite at the point where she's got wings, no matter how much Red Bull she tries to convince me to drink." Yeah, metaphors weren't big in Hyborea...
Peter Parker	Peter...well, it's Spider-Man now...races towards the edge of the roof. "Webslinging is the new flying!" he calls out as his path intersects with Mary Jane's, one arm sliding out to grasp her, and then they are both flying out into empty space. A moment later, there is a THWIPP! and the webslinging begins in earnest as Spider-Man and MJ swing off after the drone. "We are in HOT PURSUIT!" Buford T. Justice would have been proud.
Ted Kord	Ted Kord watches as the Bug erupts from the water and obediently flies to the penthouse. A line ending in a handle is lowered and... he looks around spotting a rapidly receding bundle of blue, red, and green. "Dammit, they blew the Bug's entrance off. I gotta pay a thousand bucks in fines every time I pull this." He grabs the handle and is yeeted into the control seat. The Bug roars after Brickhead, Bobo, Spidey, and MJ. Brickhead and his drone steed as well as Bobo are on his monitor screen as he flies down the FDR highway to make up for list time then climbs and does a roll over several buildings to continue on York Avenue. Now wehre did Spidey and MJ get to...
Mary Jane Watson	MJ hangs onto Peter, grinning, "So what's the plan? You web or I stab? For the record, it'd just disrupt the circuits in the thing, no real physical damage... well, maybe some overloading I guess." The one thing about having Sonja in her head, well... MJ is definitely more of an adrenaline junkie now. As it is, she seems perfectly okay to defer to Spidey on how he wants to make the play. Though it's pretty clear she wants to cleave the sucker in twain for ruining the pool day!
Peter Parker	Spider-Man was almost placid as they swung between skyscrapers. "Okay...there's a Lego Store one mile ahead, it seems to be heading there. I'm going to drop you in front. Be scary...as you can be." He chuckled. "While it's being scared by you, I'll web it up. I have a new insulated web formula, and now seems like a good time to test it..."
Ted Kord	Ted Kord notes a concentration of Legos. He swears as befits an engineer. Then realizes the street... is... getting... too narrow for then Bug. People ahead struggle against the breeze from the Bug's retro thrusters as it almost stands upright on its back legs and climbs desperately. "I need help with a creature made of Lego bricks. I hit a new low for sure with this!" The Bug vanishes into the blue sky. Meanwhile a drone signals that burgers are done.
Mary Jane Watson	MJ grins, "Scary? Spidey, I'm in a bathing suit. But I'll do my best." She winks at Spidey, and when he gets low enough in front of the LEGO store, she leaps away, doing a graceful flip and landing in a crouch. No superhero landings, those are hell on your knees. Then she faces off against Brickhead, her sword lighting up as she takes a guard position, "Hey! Legohead! You want this?!?" Definitely looking like she's trying to get its attention... or at least distract it so Spidey can do the web-thing.
Peter Parker	The brick creature only paused for a moment before gaining altitude to fly over the dangerous bikini model with the glowing sword. It had focused on the Primary, and it would soon... Then it realized what was there before it flew into the almost-insubtantial filaments of the cloud webbing Spider-Man had thwipped in front of it. When it hit, that was all she wrote for the drone and the creature riding it like a goblin riding a warg (LotR reference, yo!). The more it moved, the more it became entangled. The stuff seemed to be everywhere... Spider-Man watched it and the drone bounce around in the webbing. "I should call it the Pepto-Bismol variant..." The creature finally stops. "Coats...soothes...RELIEVES."
Ted Kord	Ted Kord is lowered on a line almost at its limit, gun at the ready. He looks around and blinks seeing the situation well in hand. "Oh. Okay... good work guys. Why don't we bundle it up and take him back to my workshop. I'll slap a Faraday cage on the little beast. Really... I'm sorry guys for all this. Let me give you a lift." He looks over at MJ and says in a theatrical manner, "You look lovely and green really suits you! Get it? Never mind. Sorry. Anyway... I'll send down the line for you." The last is directed more to MJ. He makes a sort of web shooting motion at Spider-Man and shrugs before ascending.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane arches a brow at Ted, "Thanks, but I think I have a lift back." With that, she puts her sword back in the sheath, after turning it off of course, then whistles up towards Spider-Man, giving the webslinger a wave as she looks about ready for a pickup.
Peter Parker	Spider-Man grins under the mask. "I knew her when, folks." He slides his arm around her waist and chuckles. "Send me the files on that thing, and maybe we can take a closer look at it."
