The Park, Monday evening

Life was treating Peter pretty well at the moment. He helped fight some trolls to save the day yesterday, his one class today was cancelled - due to an unfortunate injury to the professor, may he have a speedy recovery - and he was on his way to Luke's Diner to meet Zero for a celebratory date. It would be pretty hard to knock Peter out of his current mood.

That's why when he saw a strange - but somewhat familiar - man in the park looking for something, he decided to walk over and lend a hand. "Excuse me? Can I help you with something?"

[OOC: Thread with [livejournal.com profile] swerval_zero locked, please. Guest character is here for a brief seasonal plot.

Once this is done, the park is open for all of your parkly needs.]

"Donner? Blitzen? Where have you gotten--I say, there you are, elf!" Santa cried.

That explained why he looked familiar from a distance. "I'm sorry?" Peter asked, looking around for an elf.

"I was wondering where you'd gotten off to," said Santa. "Have you seen the other elves? Or my reindeer?"

The problem was, this was not Santa. This was William "Brainstorm" Bernhardt, a psychokinetic who thought he was Santa Claus, and who had once again escaped from Neopolis Psychiatric earlier in the day. Unfortunately, Peter had no way of knowing this.

"I'm not an elf," Peter laughed. "Um. Aren't you a little early?"

"It's Christmas all the time with Santa! Are you being...naughty, elf?" Santa asked.

"No," Peter said, deciding to run with it. "Actually, I helped save the town from trolls yesterday. Didn't see any elves around, though."

"You're not really Santa, are you?" It was Fandom, he couldn't be sure.

"You doubt me? Naughty elf!" Santa said. "Now, come along, we've got lots of toys to make before Christmas."

"Dude. Seriously, I'm not an elf. Santa should know that," Peter said. "But, hey, I can go get the town troopers if you're missing something if you want."

"Stop being silly, you can't fool Santa, elf," Santa insisted. "We need to hurry if we're going to have these toys ready by Christmas. Don't want to let the children down, do we?" But Santa seemed a touch less jocular, as if he was getting tired of arguing with this stubborn, wayward elf.

"Oh, no, can't let them know that Santa's lost his marbles," Peter said, rolling his eyes. "I'm heading over to the troopers to let them know that a nutjob in a red suit's hanging around the park. You might want to consider hauling your sleigh out of town before they get here."

"See you in a few weeks, Santa." With that, Peter turned to walk away.

And with that, Santa kind of lost it. Using only the power of his mind, he grabbed Peter and tossed him into a nearby tree. "ELF! HOW DARE YOU DEFY SANTA??"

[identity profile] peter--parker.livejournal.com 2006-12-05 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Spider-sense does you no good when the danger comes at the speed of thought. "CRAPCRAPCRAP!" he yelled as he sailed through the air. "OW!" he yelled when he hit the tree.

"Okay, so I'm going to have to beat up Santa Claus," he said to himself when he hit the ground. "I'll apologize to my childhood later."

And then Santa picked Peter up and shook him. Again, without touching him. "YOU WILL OBEY SANTA, NAUGHTY ELF!"

[identity profile] peter--parker.livejournal.com 2006-12-05 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm! Not! An! Elf!" Peter said, feeling slightly queasy from the shaking. This really wasn't going well, was it?

Santa shook him a few more times for good measure. "Yes! You! Are!"

[identity profile] peter--parker.livejournal.com 2006-12-05 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Stop! Shake! Ing! Me!" Peter demanded.

[personal profile] swerval_zero 2006-12-05 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"No!" Santa said. But instead of shaking Peter some more, he threw him into another tree before holding him suspended in midair and glaring at him.

[identity profile] peter--parker.livejournal.com 2006-12-05 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Peter hit his head pretty hard on that last tree. He was slightly dazed as he noticed Santa glaring at him.

"I haven't believed in you in eight years," he said petulantly. It seemed like a good idea after getting his head bashed against a tree.

"Well," Santa said in a disturbingly kindly voice. "That was a mistake. Come along now, elf." And then he bonked Peter's head against a tree. When he was sure he was unconscious, he slung the elf over his shoulder and started off toward the mansion he had taken over while he was away from the North Pole.
