AUDIO; from a cafe; post-bottle

[nerdylilspidey]

 [Peter's not quite in the right place, mentally, to put up a video post. And he definitely isn't sure he should put it up from his own suite. So he's found his way to the nearest cafe, with an oversized hoodie pulled up over his head, and is starting up only an audio feed.]

Never a boring moment around here, is there? One minute we're normal-ish, celebrating Valentine's Day, and the next we're battling evil miasma inside a magic bottle.

Does anyone ever wonder what happened to the idea of rest and relaxation?


[FILTERED to the Spider-family]

...Sorry. About what happened back there. You-- You guys know that that-- That wasn't me. You know that, right...?

Oh, God... [There's a sigh, and then a beat of silence before he continues.] Anyway, just- I'm sorry.

[nerdylilspidey]

Nice to meet you, too. I've been here for a few months and no, but I wish I did.

[Though if Spider-Man has one, he'd love to hear it.]

audio;

[imaginate]

We could always come up with one. Hey! / It's Pe-ter / he's a — [a pause] what's your job? Does it rhyme with your name?

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

[That gets him to laugh a little.]

I, uh. I actually have no clue what my title would be. I guess I'm kinda like a- an engineer? Around here, anyway.

audio;

[imaginate]

Pe-ter / the sort of engineer. [he pauses, tries again:] Pe-ter / the random guy I met on the net-work, nah, it's gotta have that ring to it, y'know.

You work for Mr. Stark or Mr. Wayne?

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

I'd help, but I seriously don't know how to.

Mr. Stark.

audio;

[imaginate]

Neat.

[He's only met one Tony, but he doubts they're that different.]

You could help by singing along, c'mon.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

Yeah. [It really is neat, to say the least. But he'll avoid nerding too hard for the moment.]

Oh- No, I really don't have much of a singing voice, trust me.

audio;

[imaginate]

[He laughs.]

Looks like I win this round!

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

[He laughs again, softly. It's possible one may even hear him shaking his head.]

I totally concede to Kyle, Shenanigans-Man Extraordinaire.

audio;

[imaginate]

[He laughs.]

Well, okay, when you put it like that it sounds weird. My codename's Green Lantern.

[After a pause.]

I should add "Extraordinaire" to that.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

You should. It makes everything sound about 10 times better.

Green Lantern, huh? That's got kind of a nice ring to it.

audio;

[imaginate]

Green Lantern Extraordinaire.

You've heard of us, huh? Are we from the same universe?

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

I... No, I haven't, actually. Sorry.

audio > video;

[imaginate]

[Kyle honestly just laughs, and switches it to a video feed, holding up his hand. Since returning from the bottle and fusing with Aya he hasn't needed his ring, but he wears it anyway. She's not up and about yet.]

[He points to his ring]

You my friend have just made a pun without knowing it.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

[There's a beat of silence.




And then, quite suddenly... laughter.]

video;

[imaginate]

Seriously.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

I guess my pun senses were tingling.

audio;

[imaginate]

What, next thing you'll tell me is that you're mildly psychic?

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

Only when it's punny.

audio;

[imaginate]

That's gotta earn some punishment.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

Aw, I think this is one thing worth expunging from my record.

audio;

[imaginate]

Punk!

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

I throw no punches.

audio;

[imaginate]

And spun no lies, I guess, so that clears you.

audio;

[nerdylilspidey]

I'm very punctilious about the lies I tell, I'll have you know.
