Number Five | Alternately You Event Catch-All
Who: Number Five & OTA
What: Working, Exploring & One Network Post
When: Alternately You Event ( 11/15 - 11/22 )
Where: Anywhere and Everywhere!
Warnings: None yet!
( Plotting post and Information on AU Five )
Order up! ( Starkbucks )
[ If he’s going to be living here as an adult — and from the way it seems, this universe is fine with allowing him to go on acting as one despite his current body situation. — then he needs to get a job. If one thing remained constant across the universes, then it was the fact that money ran the world and after a few days of exploring on his own, Five was starting to run short.
With his previous employment not exactly relevant to any job currently, Five finds himself standing behind the counter at Starkbucks. It’s not a particularly difficult job — although, The Boy still isn’t exactly good at making anything outside of a plain coffee — and the pay is enough to keep his fridge stocked and the lights on.
Five also isn’t a particularly friendly barista. He’s known for getting pretty ugly with customers who voice any sort of complaint — be it warranted or not — and doesn’t exactly exude the kind of warmth that is typically associated with the position. He doesn’t really give off any warmth period.
All in all, Five is a pretty sub-par barista, but if you’re looking for a good plain coffee and have an aversion to shallow small-talk then Number Five is your guy. ]
Jump around town ( Wechester City )
Attempting to get back home via spatial jump was completely off the table. Each time Five found himself back at the same information booth he'd first arrived at, getting increasingly more annoyed each time. Clearly, his limits remained within the city, but just how far did they go?
He needed to get a lay of the land, and the best way to do that? Walk the city! Once his shifts have wrapped up for the night, Five wanders the streets building a map of Wechester inside of his head. Before long, The Boy is jumping from block to block, disappearing and reappearing with nothing more than a quiet woosh sound. He's clearly skilled, making jumping through time and space look easy and he only occasionally miscalculates and ends up bumping into a random passerby as he suddenly appears.
Teleportation was a science, but not a perfect one.

I have a question for anyone else who isn’t originally from this city, and for anyone that might be familiar with time-travel.
I seemed to have found myself in a different body than the one I remember having. I’m not an entirely different person, I’m just a different version of myself. A younger version. A 13-year-old version. Did anyone else have this happen when they arrived?
For those of you more familiar with time-travel: have you ever heard of this being a side-effect? I only recently learned that I have the ability and I think I might have overestimated myself a little.

Enter the Girl and her Symbiote: Starkbucks
Venom was being demanding.
Gwen and the Symbiote had both learned, quite happily for Gwen, that the best thing to do to keep the Symbiote manageable was to keep it well stocked with chocolate and potato products so here was Gwen, ordering a large mocha latte with extra chocolate.
She didn't feel bad for her order, even with the look Katie her coworker was giving her. It was for everyone's safety that Gwen got...
"Nine pumps of chocolate." Off of Katie's look, Gwen raises an eyebrow. "Just trust me. Okay? I have a parasite. This helps keep it subdued."
In her head, Venom rages some at being called a parasite and Gwen's face twists into a smirk. She's rung up, Katie steps away to start her order and Gwen turns to look at Five.
"You settling in okay?"
wtf? i definitely thought i replied to this!!
(What the hell was a frappucino, anyway?)
He's clearly frustrated by an order that had just come in for pickup -- for as much of a genius as he prides himself on being, all the abbreviated and shorted words in front of him make him feel like a complete idiot.
Luckily for the not-so-teenage-but-still-teenage-boy, another one of his coworkers steps in to give him a helping just as Gwen's question catches his attention.
"No." He replies flatly. "I honestly thought there was just coffee and espresso. What fresh hell is all of this other stuff on the menu?" He gives a wave of his hand toward the board behind him.

I only say overestimated because I think this might be my abilities going haywire. I was supposed to have brought my siblings along with me but... I'm here without them and 13 years old.
no subject
You can't see my face, but I'm laughing. Does this mean you're going through puberty again? When you say abilities what exactly do you mean? Time-travel? Because I have a friend who is from an alternate timeline so he's not really my friend.
no subject
I wish I could do the same. And unfortunately, yes. It does. I'm not really too thrilled about that part, it was bad enough the first time around.
Time-travel and spatial jumping.
How do you have a friend from another dimension?
no subject
Back home he's a mechanic with shitty relatives. Here he is mechanic with happy relatives.
And he's got my super power.
Same name, different life.

It seems like the theory of alternate timelines is more of a fact in this place.
[ That doesn't really give him any more answers than he had originally, but it's a jumping-off point for any future research, right? ]
What's your power?
[ He's curious. He's never met anyone not "related" to him who possessed any kind of abilities, he's a bit eager to know what else exists out there -- especially in different worlds. ]
