OK TIME TO BE INSANE.
SPIDER-CLONE GAME NIGHT.
Peter, Ben and Kaine have an organized game night just the three of them every month.
It’s a vital bonding activity for them. they usually start out pretty chill, but all three of them are competitive and when put together become remarkably stupid so it always ends in bloodshed. Intentional or otherwise
Physical fights break out but it’s closer to play fighting. Still, they all have super strength (and they all BITE) so something always ends up broken either way.
usually it’s hosted at Peter’s since he has the most stable apartment, but Ben also often hosts. Kaine sometimes chooses a location but usually doesn’t host himself.
Kaine always has relatively normal picks for games. Usually just something he picked up at a store on the way over. Party games that he leaves at Peter’s or Ben’s and never returns for. He has accidentally brought single player console games because Aracely told him he should try them.
They make do, just tracking each others scored and timing them.
The games Kaine chooses usually cause the least amount of contention and result in the last number of casualties.
Peter brings the classics. He sticks to his roots, but also enjoys console party games. Mario party, Mario cart, monopoly, bingo.
They get really into these.
Ben brings horrible nightmare games of his own design or that he finds on the internet. He’s doing it intentionally because he finds it funny. 3D twister, ultimate uno, monopoly 2, car jenga, speed bingo, and other picks that nobody should ever play.
(UNO got banned so Ben brought the horrible nightmare that is ultimate UNO, and it got ultra banned.)
He often modifies games for 3 players or to include spider powers in some way. Peter likes to stretch or break the rules of these which is just one more way for arguments to start
Ben likes spicy chips, Peter doesn't. Kaine will eat anything.
Kaine uses a fork for Cheetos but will eat a whole rotisserie chicken with his hands.
Ben makes fun of him but would do the same if he was just a little less polite.
Peter is horrified by this, but they do get it from somewhere.
Speaking of 3D twister, it’s played with four twister mats in the corner of a room and usually requires you to move furniture out of the way to play it. It allows you to climb the walls and ceiling.
Peter thought it would be a great idea to use webs for this game and got the three of them stuck in the weirdest position possible.
Nobody could reach a phone to call for help or cut themselves down so they just played truth or dare while waiting for the webs to dissolve. The inevitable screaming match wasn’t really helping.
Someone says something that sets Kaine off, he pops the stingers to cut himself free and attack them but the three of then just stare. Realizing they could have done that hours ago but all three forgot he could do that.
Ben and Peter are near evenly matched at Mario Cart. They get really into it, shouting and standing on the couch. Kaine pretends he doesn’t care because he’s really salty that he’s not good at it.
He’s a sore loser, taking more time just to make them wait cause he’s already behind. chooses Yoshi.
Still better than Aracely and most of the new warriors and that's all that matters.
Peter and Ben are amazing at it though. Spider reflexes go a long way for a nerd.
Peter still wins against Ben. Both have fully optimized carts Kaine just chose whatever looked cool.
As mentioned, they get very competitive.
One game night is hosted at a cafe and a villain gets thrown through their table. Miles has to step in to prevent them from ending the guy’s life. Or each other’s lives.
Even one extra person at the game table tends to work as a buffer. Even someone who’s also quite competitive like miles prevents them from getting too crazy.
its only when it's just the three of them in competition that it gets violent. they should never be the last three participating in a game. at parties one of them usually sits out of any given round.
(often Kaine cause he's antisocial and this ordeal doesn't help that. so Peter tries to force him to take his spot. or two of them can 'team up')
They’ve each tried to propose letting someone else join ‘Spider-Clone Game Night’ but the other two always refuse.
If one misses a game night the other two will harass him for months.
Most often happens to Kaine, but Peter has that Parker luck. He usually has a good reason and explanation whereas Kaine will just say he was out of the country and not give any followup.
Either way the other two track them down and force them anyways.
Peter proposed bingo for a chill night. There were casualties. It was an ordeal.
His own fault though. He got convinced it was rigged. Things just kept escalating.
Kaine fought an old woman.
Things always get out of hand whenever those three are in competition. The police have gotten involved a few times, the avengers. It’s still valuable bonding time. There’s more but that's basically what we have so far. Half of this was @spot-spots ideas cause they’re smart and right all the time.
