[interns]

[ who's THIS nerd? oh, it's just Gwen Stacy. who's been here for over a week now, but she certainly pretended not to be until she ran into a certain webslinging photographer, and now she's- well, she's still a little bit in denial of being here and of everything she's heard about this place, but at least she isn't going completely insane over it. so she turns on the feed and she's sitting at the computer with the sort of practiced poise any seventeen year-old girl learns to sit with when speaking with someone over a webcam ( spoiler: nobody but Gwen thinks of things like this ). she's a little nervous, but it doesn't show. she just has a question, that's all. no big deal.

she's still going to be a bit formal about it anyway, but nobigdeal. ]

Hello everyone, my name is Gwen Stacy and I'm- [ an intern at OsCorp Industries ohwait! that means nothing here. ] -from New York, and I just wanted to introduce myself to you all, but also- [ she takes a breath, tries to be careful of her wording ] I know this city is understood to be an in-between, or a dream world, so I imagine a lot of what goes on here has to do with magic or ..something, but for the sake of my own sanity I really must ask; where does this society stand in regards to the sciences? Is there some sort of laboratory here at all? Because, as much as I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the community by way of restoring some of the older buildings here- [ SHE HATES IT ] I would really love to continue the same type of work I did back home. Which was, simply put, lab sciences.

So. Who.. should I talk to, if I'm looking for that kind of work? I actually have my resume on my iPad, if there's an issue of having the proper credentials or anything like that, but for now I'm really only asking in the general sense.

[Oh hey sciencey teenager! That would endear Gwen to Ava almost immediately, except she kind of struck a nerve. Blame it on her having to listen to Peter talk too much.] It's the same thing.

[ she doesn't know if she means science vs magic or science here vs science back home or what. so. ]

-- Pardon?

[remake]

You keep your resume on your iPad? [ OF COURSE SHE DOES PETE she is actually planning for her future. ]

[ video ]

[interns]

Where else would I keep it?

[ she knows that's not why he's asking, but she'll pretend it is ]

[ oh man she's already tired of this crap ]

... Gwen?

[ SQUINTS WHAT IS THIS ]

[interns]

Yes? Yeah.

-- Hi.

[ do i know you........ ]

[Well, that was concise, well spoken and impressive. Good job Gwen, Pepper is super impressed. She's also curious as to what work you've been doing in New York.

When the video display turns on Gwen is greeted by a very well put together woman in a black dress suit. She's sitting at a desk.]

As small as it may be we're still represented here Miss Stacy. What sort of work were you doing back home before you were brought here?

[video]

[interns]

Biochemical research. [ back home, dropping Dr. Connors name was difficult for multiple reasons, so she hesitates as she figures out how to try and word it ] The scientist I interned for focused on cross-species genetics, so I have a fair amount of information about that with me, although it's not exactly common outside of his labs, so. I understand if that isn't entirely relavent here. And I just was transferred to the robotics department, a couple weeks ago. Mn, a couple weeks before I arrived here.

I don't really know much of anything about science, but I just wanted to say Hi. As, you know, a fellow New Yorker.

[voice]

[interns]

Oh, hi. [ she actually sounds pretty pleased, maybe just because having someone from the same 'neck of the woods' ( so to speak ) as her makes her feel a little less out of place ] Have you met a lot of New Yorkers here?

[dracobin]

[Science!! More lady scientists!! The future is the best.]

If you are looking to enter a similar line of work here, there is a fellow foreigner here by the name of Tony Stark, who as I understand it is the man to speak to, depending on the sort of science you may have studied at home.

[Pause.]

What is an iPad?

voice;

[interns]

Tony Stark. Alright. [ bopbopbop typing that into her iPad now, actually. though she peeks up at that question ] An iPad? It's- here. [ she clears the screen so it's just on the normal home page, two rows of app icons lining the bottom over her background image, then holds it up to the camera. hey, she doesn't mind. it's no secret Gwen likes explaining things. ] This is an iPad. It's a portable computer, sort of. They call it a tablet, back home. It has all the basic functions of a computer.

What happened to the old York?

[interns]

[ ohoho we got a little joker. you're lucky you're a blonde boy that's about the same age as her youngest brother or she'd be making a stinkface at you ]

It still exists, though it's a city in England, not America, where I'm from. And it's just called York, not Old York. New York was simply named after it, after the land was claimed from the Dutch by the Britons.

[he's still technically trying to be careful while on the network, but other teenagers should be ok, right? well, too late to go back now: hi Gwen, have a slightly less well-put-together kid of your age.]

Might be tough for any employers to get in touch with your work references if they're in another dimension. Unless your phone company is really, really good.

...Also, uh, what's an iPad? [he's from 2006 don't judge]

video

[interns]

I'm hoping my grades will speak for themselves, to be honest. Although you're right, I really should have a copy of my letter of recommendation on here as well..

[ ... wait how many people don't know what iPads are. she holds hers up to the camera again, swiping her fingers across the screen to clear it ]

This is an iPad. It's kind of like an iPod Touch, only ..bigger.

[notdreaming]

[ A GIRL AFTER HER OWN HEART. ]

There are labs! They're mostly run by foreigners and they aren't the most advanced, but they work well enough. I'm working with Bruce Banner on biological research, but I'm told that Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark both also have access to labs. They may be able to get you work if you ask them.

What sort of research were you doing?

[interns]

It was a biochemical study on cross-species genetics. The department I worked for was run by a man that focused on crossing lizard DNA with human DNA, primarily, but we also had a really successful study on the genetic workings of arachnids as well.

[video]

[parallels]

Oh, wish I'd thought to bring a resume on an iPad. Or an iPad at all.

Maybe that's why I'm sill jobless.

[video]

[interns]

[ that makes her laugh, just a little quick thing ]

I thought we had to get jobs, how did you manage that?

[video]

[shockjock]

Great. We're here to do some big important thing, and the stupid turtle keeps kidnappin' a buncha twerps.

And shouldn't you dorks be more fun at your age? Whatever happened to punk rock 'n anarchy, huh? Who the heck wants to miss out on all that just to go 'n be a stupid lab rat?!

[Hi Gwen. This is Livewire. She's a peppy little ball of electrical energy and spite and she hates everything you love. She's also incredibly bored, but that one's pretty obvious from how she looks like she's ready to fall asleep at the desk.]

Figures we'd get stuck with the rejects...

[video]

[interns]

[ well exCUUUUSE you ]

I'm not sure my potential for having a highly successful career in something incredibly useful to the world should qualify me as a reject. I have plenty of fun, just not at the expense of my future.

[ she's heard it all man ]

[video]

[wallcrawler]

[It...took a lot for him to even reply to this. But as horribly awkward and painful as it is, he knows it'd be wrong not to try and help.]

Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner. One of the Tonys is easier to deal with than the other, and you'll know which is which.

[video]

[interns]

[ aha more names thank you thank you, but- ]

There's two Tony Starks here? As in.. two men that share the same name, or-?

[ AHH IS OTHER!GWEN HERE SHE'S NOT SURE SHE COULD HANDLE THAT well okay she could, but wow that's really weird to think about ]

video

[spiderkid]

Wow, the Gwen Stacy I know is a lot less... sciencey.

video

[interns]

[ :c Gwen is actually kinda starting to feel bad that she's not the Gwen that people know from their world. which is a weird.. thing. to feel. ]

I'm not sure if I should be apologizing or trying to defend my scientist-honor.

[ Honing in on the important stuff. ]

You've got an iPad on hand? Got Words With Friends?

[interns]

I do. And I do. [ nodnodnod ] Does it work here? I figured without a proper internet connection it wouldn't be able to ..connect.
