[OPEN] BABES IN TOYLAND

[speakveryclearly]

Date & Time: December 20th, 2013
Location: New York City!!!
Characters: HOLIDAY SHOPPERS. Please note that with mod approval, any character is allowed to have joined the mob in front of the transporter, regardless of whether they responded to the network post advertising this event.
Summary: In a bid to conserve energy, over a dozen transports do all of their Christmas shopping at once. I hope you brought money!
Warnings: None for now!

All the transports are dropped into New York at 6:00, simultaneously but scattered. Coding the drop points for this mission was hell.

It turns out that the weather is actually fairly mild on this date; there is snow neither in the air nor in the ground. That isn't to say there's nothing of visual interest: All the lights of the city are on at this hour.



The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was lit back on December 4th.



Shop until you drop, Transports.

I really wish that hormones was the height of my problems.

You really don't.

[But it's playful, and if she can get away with it, she's going to ruffle his hair.

For reasons.]

[Ruffling hair doesn't set off the spider sense, so he lets it happen.]

Really? Being a normal teenage boy? ... Yeah, you've got a point. No one wants to be Flash Thompson.

[controlledvariable]

I have absolutely no idea who that is.

[Famous person??? Friend???? Some random dude???

Alternate universes are frustrating sometimes.]

[unmasking]

And thank god for that. He's just this ... loser.

[Okay, maybe "loser" is harsh, but it feels accurate.]

[controlledvariable]

[Ah.]

Someone from school?

[unmasking]

Yeah. He also profited on the whole Spider-Man thing. ... In a Lifetime movie sort of way, so not as much as he wanted to.
