Thread: Extracurricular Activities [Spider-Man -- Sigr & Virginia]

I don't think I've ever played Trivial Pursuit. Savannah wasn't much of a board game girl in general. She'd played them before it was just her and her dad, but afterwards there hadn't been a lot of time for board games. She hadn't known it involved dice, but that didn't surprise her. That was how basically all board games worked, as far as she could tell. If it didn't, she was pretty sure it counted as a card game instead. If anyone was going to be able to tell her the difference, it would probably be Peter and Ned. Maybe she'd ask one of them after this was over. Most likely she wouldn't. Her new 'family' had a lot of board games, she'd have to learn to play them eventually in order to socialize properly with them. They didn't seem to have too many expectations, but she wasn't going to give them any reason to be concerned about her. That meant game nights, probably. If that was what... normal families did. One blonde eyebrow arched at Ned's wordplay, but she smiled. Wordplay wasn't one of her skills, so it was something worth rewarding with that much at least. Plus she was being friendly, that's what people were supposed to do. Trophies seem like a decent motivator. She recalled being pleased getting one back in elementary school for soccer. Her father had praised her for her sport skills, he had always valued athleticism. Her mother less so, but she'd still been proud. Savannah had been proud of herself. She still was, for different reasons, though she knew that pride had no place in what she did. She looked unsurprised at the fact Michelle had participated and done well. The clarification was needed, she admitted, and Michelle shot them a deadpan look that even Savannah couldn't read. So it's just an application of things you learned in classes already, she clarified, assuming that was what he meant when he said they didn't study. Because otherwise they were just picking this stuff up randomly during the day and she was not prepared to live in a city where complex math questions just happened on the subway. School was, she had learned over the course of the day, not something that her skill set had fully prepared her for. His surprise did not go unnoticed, which wasn't unexpected. The effort had seemed necessary, and she didn't regret it now that she'd answered. Her intelligence had been at least partially established, or at least her ability to remember weird brain chemicals had. Still no intention of trying to compete in this... club thing. There just wasn't time now that she was going to have to her homework as well as training and night patrol. When Peter held out his hand, Savannah stared at it for a moment and then lifted her own and gave him a high five. Thanks. As to Ned's words, she shrugged. It's just the same kind of memorization as anything else. Less likely to come up in classes admittedly, unless it was something specialized. That was probably my one, don't start getting expectations. Unless there were more medical questions, and she wasn't sure she wanted to answer only those in case it brought some kind of suspicion upon her. She hadn't even gone out yet to do her thing anywhere in the state of New York so there was pretty much no way that anyone could figure out who she was, but she was still cautious. I'm super cool on scene changes so whenever you're ready we can move on to get them out of decathalon and towards their first meeting in costume. Vanna's gonna get his number eventually, but it might be later
