Fall 2013 Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

Jackson had entirely forgotten about the club thing over the summer. So, yeah, there wasn't going to be any organized lacrosse this fall. Probably for the best since they seemed to have like half of Beacon Hills' team going here now from various world's and it could have gotten messy.

And Jackson also kind of stumbled upon the club fair by accident. But since he was here, he grabbed a copy of the schedule and decided to at least give a cursory glance to what was on offer this time around. Even if he probably wasn't going to sign up for anything. There were better ways of celebrating having managed almost an entire full moon under control. But still.

Club fair.

[ocd up, ping in at will!]

Club Name: Cheerleading
Description: Cheerleading is back yet again! Nobody can be entirely sure why, so let's focus on why not? Besides the lack of competitive sports and such. The Fandom High Gremlins cheer squad has a long and storied tradition, and you can be part of it now, too!
Club heads: Jessica Drew, Loki Laufeyson
Day: Thursday

Once they ping in!

So apparently all you had to do was take away her right to be on the premier superhero team and kind of banish her to high school and Jessica would find herself trying to do ALL THE THINGS. She had Student Council earlier in the day and now here she was again, sitting at a table for cheerleading.

She was even wearing her uniform.

Peter would be so weirded out if he could see her today.

"You didn't tell me you were a cheerleader," Raven said as she walked up (and yes, she noted just how different the cheerleading uniform was from what she was used to. "Do you cheer for the roller derby?"

She might be picturing roller derby as sort of like the Kentucky Derby, only on roller skates.

"Well, in some ways, being a cheerleader is the weirdest thing this school has ever done to me, so it doesn't come up much in the non-cheer months," Jessica explained. "Last year we just cheered whatever we could since Fandom, um, doesn't traditionally have any sports. But now that we have that and Cade's thing, I'll have to see what kind of options we have."

"So are you interested, or just surprised?"

"I've always kind of wanted to try it," Raven admitted. "I never really got the chance to, back home. The, uh, regular cheerleaders didn't like me, much. I had kind of a reputation."

She'd be even more enthusiastic when she found out how gymnastic cheerleading had gotten in the last sixty years. That sort of thing was pretty much right up her alley.

"I'm a science nerd, Loki's the god of mischief, and last year we had rebels and dinosaurs on the squad. So we have no problem with reputations," Jessica explained. "Although now I'm curious what your reputation was. If you're okay with sharing, I promise not to judge."

Raven shrugged. "I was a freak," she said. It was easier to talk about after so long of not being the freak here in Fandom. "Not a lot of foster children in upper-class Westchester, New York, 1953. They didn't know where I'd been."

And, really, you accidentally turn blue in class a time or two, and they never let you forget it.

"Oh, definitely no judging for that," Jessica said. "I have no parents to speak of and Loki... well, read up on Norse mythology sometime. This is pretty much the least stuck up Cheerleading squad possible. Thank you, Fandom."

"So Loki really is actually Loki?" Raven had still had it in her head that he might be full of crap. "He said he was, but then he wouldn't do anything particularly godly to prove it."

"He's not the Loki from my world, but enough of what he says checks out that I can buy it," Jessica said. "And I've seen weirder things than teenage gods, so I don't have much reason to think he's lying."

"Um, aside from the fact that he claims to be a god of lies."

"He also said his natural form is blue." Which had actually gotten Raven all excited, but then he wouldn't show it to her. Rude! "Something about being part ice-giant."

"He's also short for a frost giant," Jessica pointed out. "Not that it means much. I'm pretty sure he can look like whatever he wants."

"And that, uh, doesn't weird you out?"

That might be a more than slightly hopeful tone in Raven's voice, yes.

"It's slightly weird, only because he's the supposed big bad of an entire mythology," Jessica said. "But the worst he's ever done to me is be pushy about my love life for his own entertainment. It's hard to think of Ragnarok when he just wants me to get together with a guy who owns a motorcycle."

Raven had never heard the term "big bad" before. "He seemed nice enough to me. Mostly just kind of irritated that I kept wanting him to do god things."

Like turn blue. Come on, you didn't just say you could be blue and then not prove it.

"This is just a guess, but I doubt he really wants to show off exactly what he can do until something comes up where he has to," Jessica said. "If you have an ace and as many enemies as he does based on who he is, it doesn't hurt to hold on to the ace. I could see myself doing that in his position."

Mostly because she WAS doing that!

"That makes sense," Raven said. "But he's telling people he can. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?"
