[Closed] Just super-powered teenagers hanging out with other super-powered teenagers.

[good_ideas]

Who: good_ideas, queenofminiskirts, belfire, moribound, theshiningone, espersions
When: early June
Where: Shiho and Kaoru's apartment
What: The joy of food, Mario Kart (played with cheaters) and people literally popping into the room uninvited.
Rating/Warning: Too much food, too much Mario Kart and espers using their powers to ram their friends off the edge of Rainbow Road.

---

Kaz owed Shiho a delicious home-cooked meal for two. Shiho owed Minato...well, a lot. She refused to tell anyone but Kaoru what it was, of course, but it's clear in the way her stance softened minutely around him that she believed she owed him that, at least.

So what better way for Shiho to enjoy this sudden influx of genuinely nice people than to invite them all over to her and Kaoru's apartment? The more, the merrier, right? It all starts out innocuous enough, with chips and chocolate and Mario Kart in the living room area while they all wait for food. Except Kaz was never told that the intimate dinner for two had long become a dinner party for friends, Shiho was using her psychometry to cheat while playing (because there's no way anyone can be that good), and a certain lolicon was never even formally invited.

Oh, and any game involving espers somehow always manages to devolve into all-out war. Wait. Is that someone hanging around outside the window?!

[good_ideas]

Well, I can forgive you just this once. [Since this is a house rule that she made up as of a minute ago.]

And yeah, it usually does. For you, anyway?

[Bowser's speeding on ahead happily (and unstoppably).]

[theshiningone]

[He'll be getting back on the road and while Bowser was ahead, Hiro figured that he could put a stop to things on his own way!]

--It's too bad that a Hiro always saves his trump card for the last second! [That being said, Luigi fires off his turtle shell at Bowser.] Bang. ♥

[NO HIDING THAT SHIT EATING GRIN.]

[good_ideas]

Oh no~

[Shiho plays at damsel in distress very well but there's no hiding the evil smile at the corner of her mouth because thank goodness for the two remaining extra shells she had saved. She holds them behind her, sacrificing one to Hiro's turtle shell and releasing the other straight at him.

The good thing about psychometry is that she knows which direction it needs to go without a visual.]

[theshiningone]

--Wha- What the hell was that?!

[Shiho you dirty cheater! Hiro's kart is hit by the turtle shell and he falls back even further in the race. He had to turn the tables on her somehow... Though at this rate, this round would be over.]

That was impossibly accurate!

[good_ideas]

Nothing's impossible as long as you believe, Hiro-kun?

[And had psychic powers. That helps a lot too. Shiho doesn't even have to glance over at the screen to know that he's fallen to 8th place, grinning to herself.]

Got any more trump cards?

1/2

[theshiningone]

[There had to be a way.. That is until Hiro gets an idea! He had the ability to control time! Well, it wasn't perfect nor full mastery... But it'd be a test. He still had his hand on the controller, so he had to wonder if something he was touching could move along with him.

Hiro takes a deep breath and suddenly the world inverts into a blue color with himself being the only thing in motion. He's not sure how many seconds that he could keep this up... But he was still testing to see how long this could last.

"This DOES count as a trump card!", he thinks. And noticing the TV screen, it looked like Luigi was still in motion... Hiro wasn't sure if this was an extension of his 'will' to keep him in motion in 'Kageyama Time'. But he was going to take advantage of it...

So like a cheeky motherfucker, Hiro takes this opportunity to drive his kart past every other person including Shiho.]

[theshiningone]

[With seconds counting down, he finally exhales and time resumes. For Shiho... Only a few seconds have past, yet Hiro has somehow reached 1st and even raced past the finish line. And he does all of this with a self-assured smirk on his face.]

Nope. I'm completely fresh out of cards he- [Suddenly, he speaks in mock shock.] Holy crap! I won!? How did that happen?!

[Who has two thumbs and manipulated time and space in a video game? This Administrator, ladies and gentlemen.]

[good_ideas]

[With the controller in her hand, Shiho knows something happened even though she's not sure how he managed it exactly. One moment she was cruising on to first place, next thing she knows he's managed to pull ahead and take what should have been her win?!

Her mouth opens, then closes and if this wasn't her own Wii, she would have thrown it out the window. But as it is, she narrows her eyes at him...

...and then gets up with a bright smile and starts walking over to the Wii to turn it off. There's more than one way to cheat, okay!! And she intends to use the oldest method in the book!!

Hiro, please stop her and end this cycle of madness cheating.]

[theshiningone]

[Really, Shiho... Really? Hiro lets out a amused sigh as he decides to manipulate his Will. Let's see... He didn't want to hurt Shiho as there was no reason to, so he simply adjusts the extension of "himself" forward.

From his feet, there will be white innocent flames that pour out and form into the shape of a hand. The flaming hand reaches out to gently grab Shiho from the back of her shirt and pull her back towards Hiro. With that, the flaming hand simply plops Shiho on the couch next him and disappears like a snake underneath his feet.]

Don't be a sore loser. If you wanna take me on, then do it fair and square.

[The funny part of all that was that the flames did not burn Shiho's clothes nor would they feel like heat. He's not sure how Kazuya does it proper, but Hiro felt like he's getting used to this whole 'Will Flame' thingy.]

[good_ideas]

You're the one who isn't playing fair!

[Says the one who cheated to begin with...they're both just as guilty of this. And it says a lot about how much more comfortable she is around him that she doesn't freak out the moment she felt herself being pulled backwards. The flames are only mildly alarming but there's no heat and so she lets it go for now, crossing her arms.]

Using powers is cheating!

[theshiningone]

It's not cheating if you aren't caught!

[Now Hiro wasn't the type to cheat for school exams or anything since he was actually more smarter than he let himself out to be. He studied a lot and aced his tests since that's what his parents expected of him. However, just because he had grades that would put him on per with honor students...

His troublemaker and free-spirited personality made him somewhat difficult to handle for teachers. Even his parents had issues with how he tended to defy authority.]

Weren't you using your special power too? There's no freakin' way that you could have 100% accuracy for every shot.

[good_ideas]

I caught you doing it! [Just too late to make any real difference to the results.]

And isn't that just conjecture?

[She crosses her arms, unconsciously hiding her hands even though she's at least 44% certain he doesn't know what her powers actually entail.]

You don't have any proof of that. I could just be really, really good at Mario Kart. [Or at least...]

Up until you came along. [Shiho narrows her eyes at him because she's nothing if not a bad loser.]
