Who| Jason and the Beachwarmers
What| Going camping! Making friends! A mixed thing, just do whatever and have fun.
Where| On a private island owned by R.J. Brande.
When| Post Naltor and Mystery Plots, pre-next plot
Warnings/Notes| None yet
All in all, the beach itself is gorgeous. Clear waters, a perfect temperature, white sand, some nice, shady woods deeper in on the island... It all looks fantastic, like it came off of a postcard. There's not a hint of land off in the distance, but they can get a threshold gate if the need arises.
Jason honestly didn't plan much out. He's packed for different activities, like food (sadly lacking in hot dogs), sun lotion, drinks (though if you wanted something alcoholic, you'll be disappointed), a beach ball, a volleyball with a net setup, some tents, and some snorkeling gear, all pre-staged on the island. He tried to cover a bunch of activities, but he really didn't have much of an idea of how many people would be showing up or what they'd want to do, so he just prepped for the most possible.
If they day is crisp and beautiful, the night is something else entirely. Still perfectly warm, by the time the Legionnaires have worn themselves out, the stars are out in force. With no light pollution around, the night sky is full of colors and stars, with the visible portion of the Milky Way cutting a majestic arc across the sky. Night swimming is still available, the water's fine and the camp fire is visible for a long way.
[[Whoops, I'd meant to post this on Saturday, but time got away from me. I thought about setting up activities and such, but decided that it'd be best just to let people come up with whatever. If it involves gear of some kind, feel free to handwave that Jason took care of it. There's a few different activity headers put up, so feel free to tag around or post a separate starter if you have any further ideas or want to do something else!
If you didn't tag here, don't worry about it. We can handwave any of that in favor of the main action here.
and now posted in the correct community. Whoops again.]]

And now for the important part. S'mores. Jason has a row of marshmallows toasting delicately, with a series of crackers and chocolates, sadly not the required Hershey's, waiting for the feast. He glances up while he goes down the road of sticks, rotating them slightly.
"So, while we're eating, or about to, I figured I'd take this moment to introduce myself. Some of you might know me. I'm Jason Lee Scott. Or Amp, out in the field." He picks up the pace now, going back to the first stick and popping the marshmallow off, sandwiching it between chocolate bar and cracker. As he speaks, he repeats the process a few times, basically just giving a demonstration for the folks who have never made one. "I'm from Angel Grove, California. Earth. It just hit 1994 when I'm from. My powers are, uh. Empathic enhancement or something along those lines. In short, the more other people believe in me, the more I can enhance someone else's powers. Or, by focusing on myself or people without powers, I can make them slightly faster or stronger. We don't know the upper limits for that kind of action, but I'm told that they're relatively low."
Relatively, of course, referring to a team where they've got people who can toss cars like it's nothing.
"I've gotta be close for that to work, though. I'm told that my range increases the more I'm around other people, so I guess my powers are really only useful in groups. I can at least use them to, uh. Sense others around me, though." He shrugs, starting on the second s'more. "I practice a few different martial arts, but I'm not sure the names really matter much here. I used to teach a class down at the juice bar, but that was at home. Uh. I do some other sports, too. Nothing I'm into as much as martial arts, though. I was more into them when I was a kid." He shrugs again. "I'm not sure what else to say. I'll answer questions if anyone's got any, but I think it'd be best if someone else took over here. I mean, the entire point of this was to get to know each other better, you know?"

Oh right, back to actual introductions and socialization.
"Alright, well... I'm Gwendolyne Stacy, but pretty much everybody out there just calls me Gwen. I'm from Queens, New York, over in Earth-65. I'm a drummer with my friends for their band, The Mary Janes. And we're popular enough to have download numbers thrown at us in news interviews." A bit more than they might actually play venues in somewhere other than New York.
Hey, it could totally happen. Probably.
"Never really take the time to practice martial arts, myself. But I did watch a bunch of movies, so I figure that's almost as good as the real thing." That was her story and she was sticking by it. "I'm my universe's Spider-Woman, which means I stick to walls and kick all sorts of butt."

It takes him a few long seconds to notice because he's preoccupied with cramming a s'more into his mouth, but after a moment, he realizes he's being looked at, awkwardly chews a few more times, and swallows.
"Uh. I'm Sam Alexander. Or Nova, I do the superhero thing back home too - my power is energy manipulation. I'm from Carefree, Arizona. You haven't heard of it."
It's tiny and unimportant. Nobody knows Carefree.
"I skateboard, I like sports..." He shrugs. "My life's really not that exciting outside of the hero stuff."
