[ 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.

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...

[ 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 ]

[shockjock]

Oh, yeah, you reeeally look like you know how to cut loose.

[If sarcasm could be used as a fuel source, Livewire would have basically solved the energy crisis with that one sentence alone.]

What's your idea of a night on the town, blondie? Staying out two minutes past curfew?

[video]

[interns]

Mm, no, I imagine whatever I was doing up until my curfew would have to be my idea of a night on the town.

[ PSSHT PLEBE. THINKING THOSE TWO MINUTES WHERE SHE WAS RUSHING HOME AND FRANTICALLY CALLING HER MOM TO TELL HER WHERE SHE IS WAS THE FUN PART. PFF. YEAH. OKAY. ]

Don't you have any hobbies? I mean, besides trying to insult people you've never met before.

Seriously? You have a curfew? And you actually follow it?!

[Pardon her for a moment Gwen, as she laughs uncontrollably at your goody-goody nature. It's a good minute or more before she can collect herself enough to answer your question, too.]

[Oh, right, you asked about her hobbies. Which, in hindsight, might not have been something Gwen really wants to hear about.]

Hobbies? Oh, y'know, usual stuff. Mess around with the electrical grid, stay outta prison, murder Superman. I like to keep it simple.

And way more entertaining than that lame excuse for a life you're sportin', she-geek.
