[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?!

He's mostly just annoying. Besides, I can deal with him myself.

[More like please let her deal with it herself because she really wanted the feeling of taking him down a peg or five.]

[belfire]

Hmmm, if you say so.

[Kaz seemed a little unconvinced. Not that he doubted Shiho's ability to put a gross creep in his place, since she was a very terrifying person, but he still didn't like the thought of some unknown guy orbiting around one of the few people he socialised with. Well, nothing he could do about it right now, he supposed, so best to let Shiho handle it.

(Though he did make a very private mental note that if he caught a whiff of Apple doing anything super gross or weird to Shiho, he was going to neuter him)]

If you ever need backup for a super embarrassing prank though, don't hesitate to call. I'll help.

[good_ideas]

[He could be as unconvinced as he wanted to be, because despite the fact that she could (and probably would) use whatever means necessary to put Angelo in his place, she thought of herself as someone who could deal with things without too much help.

Not that she doesn't appreciate the offer though.]

Of course. [She's not going to ask him whether or not he's just helping her because she's blackmailing him.]

As soon as I think of a super embarrassing prank, I'll ask you. [And Kaoru because she never goes anywhere without her.]

[belfire]

[Surprisingly, Kaz's offer wasn't due to the whole blackmailing thing. He felt genuinely concerned over this Apple fellow, especially as he kind of likedShiho in a weird sort of way. She was terrifying, no-nonsense, and sort of evil, but she was a cool acquaintance slash maybe friend to have. But like Kaz was going to go and admit that straight out]

Awesome. [And with that pact sealed - the race ends. Kaz in second place, Shiho in first] Ah, there we go. Winner is you to the surprise of no one.

[good_ideas]

[She isn't about to admit that she's actually kind of happy that he offered either, so it all works out.]

Hey, I said I was going to let you win the next one, didn't I? Since you want a pity win so badly.

[belfire]

Ah, you're so kind, Mimi~

[It was difficult to tell if he was being sarcastic or not - he was smiling a little boyishly though, so perhaps it was a friendly little dig]

But don't worry about it. I think I'm Mario Karted out. [he lowered the controller] I also need to check on the food. Got any last minute requests before I lock myself in the kitchen until dinner time?

[good_ideas]

Of course~ [She's the kindest.

Even if she doesn't show it most of the time.]

Then, make sure that there's pizza! Oh, and something sweet afterwards too! Like a cake. A chocolate one with at least two layers. [Being spoiled is also something she's very good at, unfortunately. Blame Iron Chef-swimsuit model-genius salaryman Minamoto.]

[belfire]

Pizza? Uhm, the cake should be fine, but...

[Kaz never really tried making pizza before. If he craved it he normally got takeout, since he found that they did it well and it was dirt cheap too, so it didn't bother his miserly self too much. He knew the theory behind making it at least, but the practical experience... well, if he looked it up, he could follow the directions well enough, he was sure. It involved dough, right? He could work with dough]

I've never made pizza before, but I'll give it a go? [he looked a little nervous - experimenting at 3am in the kitchen was one thing, but presenting a first time attempt at a dinner party with your friends was another entirely. He never admitted it, but he was somewhat sensitive about how his cooking was received] Not making any promises about quality, and, like I'm not gonna be, uh, like, take out good, but... uh, what kind of toppings you want? Just cheese?

[Please make it a simple topping, Shiho...]

[good_ideas]

Well, that's what the internet is for, you know? Look it up!

[She has so much belief in you, Kaz.]

And just cheese is too boring. I'll leave it up to you but I want meat on it, okay? Like bacon or something.

[Shiho has never made pizza before, but she's sure it can't be too hard and that hey, Minamoto could do it?]
