WHO: Everyone who wants to drown their sorrows or something
WHAT: Getting drunk about it
WHERE: The Spider-Web
WHEN: Today

Sure waking up to find that he was for some reason attached to a wizard nearly half his age hadn't been on the top ten best ways to start his day list that Peter most certainly did not keep somewhere in the back of his mind, it hadn't actually been on the top ten worst ways to start his day list either. So that was something to consider. Not that it made it any easier to deal with knowing that for some strange reason he found himself tethered to Sirius, things had gotten very strange very quickly, and considering his history with strange well - Peter thought he was handling the whole thing admirably.

Tonight though, well they were at the bar, because even tied together like this people still needed to eat and Peter wasn't about to just throw all of this away because he was mildly inconvenienced. So he was doing his best, passing out drinks and making food and hoping that at the very least, they could all just spend a little time there that evening and pretend like things weren't entirely fucked.

"Nothing like a couple of drinks and something good to eat to at least help make you feel like things aren't quite as bad as they might seem." And certainly he'd lucked out he thought, but like John had said, things could always be worse.

[It's another party thread people, use your headers and have fun!]

Octane was in a similar position as Gwen, in the sense that he was letting Stan have his conversations with Richie and the other's of that household. Sure, him and Stan were finding their balance - if that balance was that Stan was miserable with all of Octavio's constant talking, and going, and never stopping. Simply, Octane just didn't like standing still for too long, and always needed something to be doing.

But, Stan was cool. He was laid back and chilled, but he was cool - and Octane felt it was right to slow down for the man despite his own desires. At least, Stan jogged with him in the mornings. Maybe trampolines tomorrow? To be decided.

Almost sulking in boredom, he looked over to the girl that was a vague distance that resembled close. Snacking (because he was always snacking) on bar peanuts he looked at his bowl and leaned over. "Hola." His arm extended out. "Nuts..?" Octane asked with that stupid smile of his.

Gwen never minded a trip to the bar. The Spider-Web, as it was now called, was a fun hangout. She'd get to spend time with Peter, and that was always a plus for her. And knowing that Peter and Sirius were stuck together gave her sort of a two for one deal in the socializing department because Sirius was one of her favorite people, too. They were both busy shuffling around trying to not get too far from each other while managing to get drinks and stuff to people, so she was casually sitting at the bar waiting for one of them to be free.

Until, that is, someone else spoke to her instead. "Oh, hey," she said, and smiled a bit. She didn't know this guy that well other than by name but wasn't that what socializing was for? "Thanks." She took some of the offered nuts and popped them into her mouth. "How's it going? I see you're stuck to someone, too."

Nodding while stuffing more nuts into his yap, Octane thumbed over his shoulder towards Stan. Swallowing the snacks, he spoke. "Yeah, Stan." He glance but kept most his attention on the girl. "He's cool. Actually, he's super nice," He paused to let that but really stagnant. "But, he's just not up to my speed. I just do things so much more.." Using his hands he mad an explosion motion. "More." There was a shrug because he really wasn't sure how to explain himself in that notion.

He was just who he was.

Pointing at her he tried to remember her name exactly. "Gwen, right?" After he got the confirmation he clapped and almost arm pumped. "Awesome. Names. Names are great, but names are things that I just never seem to remember.." Another handful of the nuts thrown in his mouth while he looked around. "Who are you so graciously tied too?"

"I get that," she said. Gwen kind of went through mood swings where sometimes she liked to be extremely lazy and just lay in her web hammock for hours and other times when she had bursts of energy and spent the same amount of hours swinging around the jungle gym the wizards put up for the spiderlings.

"Oh, yeah. Gwen Stacy," she said, confirming that she was who he thought she was. She tried to make it a point to know everyone's name in town and had the advantage of getting to meet just about everyone since everybody needed clothes and she was the keeper of the clothing.

"Me? I'm tied to Bill Weasley. You know, the wizard with the long red hair? He's really nice," she said. "My dads aren't so crazy about it though. Being a bit over protective."

Octavio would have to think hard on the last time he really stayed in one place for so long. A time where he wasn't on the move. Sure he slept. Sometimes when he slept he slept for many hours. There was the time when he was in the hospital before his legs, and he slept a lot then while recovering.

Regardless, Octane needed action and movement. Being tied down didn't leave much for him.

Pointing to himself, sure many new Octane because that was his name too, but he'd share his real name. Here it wasn't tied to the family business at all. "Octavio Silva." He shrugged. "Octane is really just the stage name." He laughed. Leaning over some feeling the slight pull of his tether, he looked back to Stan apologetically before looking back to Bill.

"Oh my fuck." He muttered. "His hair is absolutely gorgeous.." Looking to Gwen he made a motion like whipping his hair about like those shampoo commercials. "You think if he does that, time will slow down? It'd have to right?" Octane insisted.
