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.

I said that keeping in mind that we're all, y'know, on a turtle. So definitely not totally "normal"...

But you're absolutely right.

[6collegecredits]

Of course I am. [Said as if this is a universally accepted fact.]

At least it seems like everyone made it out in one piece. Right?

[nerdylilspidey]

... Yeah.

So far, so good.

[6collegecredits]

What about you?

I mean, did you go inside that thing?

[nerdylilspidey]

Me? No. No, I didn't.

..I'm guessing you didn't, either?

[6collegecredits]

No way. I may be confident in my tasing skills, but I'm not stupid enough to jump into something like that blind.

[nerdylilspidey]

[Stupid's a really good word for what guys like Peter are.]

"Tasing skills"?

[6collegecredits]

As is I am a bad ass with a taser should the need for one arise.

[nerdylilspidey]

I'll keep you in mind for that, then.

[6collegecredits]

Sure.

I'm Darcy, by the way.

[nerdylilspidey]

I'm Peter. Nice to meet you, Darcy.

[6collegecredits]

You too, Peter.

Been here long?

[nerdylilspidey]

It's been... a few months now. Honestly, I kinda- I lost track.

[6collegecredits]

I was afraid that might happen eventually. I better start marking a calender.

[nerdylilspidey]

Yeah, you'd think these consoles would have something helpful.

[6collegecredits]

I'm super glad I had my cellphone with me when I got here. I can't use it to call anyone, but the other features seem to be working.

[nerdylilspidey]

Seriously? And you even have its charger and everything?

[6collegecredits]

Yep. We were on the move a lot before I got here so I carried all the important stuff with me.

[nerdylilspidey]

Oh... That's lucky. In a- In a weird sort of way, I mean.

[6collegecredits]

It's a bit of a bummer that I can't put any new songs on my ipod though.

[nerdylilspidey]

You could always make songs up?

[6collegecredits]

Yeah...not really my area of expertise.

[nerdylilspidey]

Well, someone on the turtle must be musician material.

[6collegecredits]

I don't know about that. There doesn't seem to be a real demand for singers and song writers in a battle against some unspeakable evil.

[nerdylilspidey]

They don't have to be pros. Just decent.
