MCA #1- Friday night, and probably later

This was really Annie and Summer's party, that just so happened to take place in Rey's stupidly giant apartment. Still, even while she'd been told a lot of people might be coming, Rey was a little concerned no one actually would, and then she'd have to figure out what to do with just... a ridiculous amount of alcohol and so many inflatable reindeer. And packages for this thing had been showing up daily for a week, including as late as this afternoon, and after all of this, people had better show up.

There were so many Christmas lights around the place that the apartment lights weren't even on, Summer's Jello shots were very much on display, and while there was mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, it wouldn't force you to kiss anyone. (No, no, that's the alcohol's job.) It was jolly as hell up in here, and honestly loud enough that even if you decided to skip the party you'd probably have some idea of how it went.

Also Tino showed up like ten minutes early and was just kind of hanging around.

Enjoy the night! Hopefully you wore something festive or you're gonna hear about it.

"Annie January," she offered in return, "and you're totally festive enough, Miguel, and in fact, bonus points for doing like a sciencey thing with it."

Seriously, that was kind of great?

"Welcome. Have a shot or seven," she added.

Miguel grinned. "I promised Summer to try one of each. I know she loves her jello. I'm taking all others under advisement, if you've got suggestions."

"The jello shots are fabulous. I made the punch," she told him, "and it is very deceptively boozy, so watch yourself."

"Healing factor," Miguel answered with a shrug. "Unless I chug the stuff all at once, I'll be fine."

"Lucky," Annie sighed enviously. "I know a couple guys back home like that."

And Jessica, who was probably around here somewhere, not destroying her liver.

Miguel grimaced. "It's got its uses, yeah. That part doesn't suck. You're from somewhere with mutants or heroes of some kind, then?"

"We say 'super-abled' where I'm from, but yes, we've got heroes," she told him, smiling. "Can I be nosy and ask whether you can do stuff besides the healing?"

She'd normally even do a little show-me-yours-I'll-show-you-mine, but given how much she'd been drinking, she would stick to descriptions of her powers.

"Yeah, a few things," Miguel answered. He held up one hand and popped his talons out. "There's a reason I don't usually shake hands, for a start."

And his eyes were red, though in this light, who could tell?

"I'm part spider. Are you 'super-abled', then?"

"I am," Annie said, leaning in to look at those talons curiously. (She'd notice the eyes eventually, but yeah, between the lighting and the drinks it would take a minute.) "I, um, can pull electricity from things around me and shoot it out of my hands as light." You know, that old story. "I've never met someone who was part spider before!"

"Yeah, I'm special," Miguel said dryly, then relented a bit. "I'm strong, I'm fast, I can shoot webs, and I'm venomous. Between the webs and the wall-crawling, I'm great at putting up Christmas lights."

...He was totally going to regret mentioning that by the end of the month, wasn't he?
