Entry tags:
( OPEN ) call it what you want
CHARACTERS: Peter Parker (parkours) & you!
LOCATION: 005 | Common room
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Peter's attempting to rig the holographic screens in favor of actually displaying movies, which needless to say, doesn't go all that well for now. He just wants to watch video footage of things man )8
NOTES: None.
There's a sign when you first enter the common room, one that Peter deliberately put there as a means of offering up his services to the ship, an offer of willingly taking pictures for a small fee. He hasn't quite figured out what the fee is just yet, but Peter has every intention of working that out on a later basis. Maybe information, maybe nothing, but that's it for now.
What he really wants though, is a place to tinker, the electronics earning his complete attention, because being the geek he is, they're something worth looking into, improving on. It seems like he has competition across the ship, with men like Tony Stark already offering their services (in both forms), and Peter will never come close to their level. Try as he will, because he's always been a self sufficient kid even with Uncle Ben and Aunt May around, Peter is still a teenager.
It's why he's here in the common room, physics textbook at his side (not that it'll help), examining the console to the holographic screen. Every once in a while he gets a near jolt as Peter prods the wrong thing, a perpetual frown on his face because nothing seems to be going in his favor, a reminder that this is out of his league, and despite how smart he can be on the surface, a brand new situation means he's just your average joe.
( ooc | brackets or prose are completely fine with me! pre-emptive yes to anyone who wants to fourth-wall peter as well! )

no subject
He wants to put the suit on at some point in his time here, but he's never really gotten the chance when the technology here has Peter's one track mind and he's capable of forgetting just about everything else. It's that one track mind that's gotten him in trouble before, with forgetting Aunt May, and while he learned his lesson then, it doesn't mean Peter's remembered it now, when several moments pass by before Peter realizes someone actually spoke. ]
Oh -- [ His attention is still on the panel, biting his lower lip and he doesn't see Frodo until a while later later. ] No, I think I got this -- [ Pausing so he can actually connect two wires, it ends terribly and Peter's left with a sharp shock as he lets go, retreating slightly.
That went well. Smiling softly, he glances up, catching sight of Frodo, the camera around his neck and his all too familiar looking face. ]
Could've gone better, don't you think?
i am so late screams. i'm so sorry!!!
If I'm correct, that is a camera, isn't it?
[ he pulls up his cloak, showing the one that ms. betty ross had given to him ]
If so, I'll have to tell you I'm no such expert on them. Tinkering and all that, well, sounds more like something a friend would do better at.
NO ITS OKAY <33
( Because Peter doesn't really have friends all that much besides Gwen, though it doesn't deter him from actually trying to make more of them around. He relaxes his hands around the panel, flexing his fingers in spite of the shock and takes a deep breath. Right. He's got this whole thing going on. ]
I mean, yeah, uh, [ Peter glances towards the one Frodo has, eyes wide with recognition. ] That's a camera. Real nice one too.
[ But it's one of those things he kinda figures is the norm around there. ]
Guess you've never seen one around?
