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]

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.

[6collegecredits]

I'm pretty picky about my music.

[nerdylilspidey]

Then it really is a shame about your iPod.

[6collegecredits]

Exactly. At least I got it back before I get here, I guess.

[nerdylilspidey]

Did someone else have it?

[6collegecredits]

The government had it.

[nerdylilspidey]

... What would the government want with an iPod?

[6collegecredits]

It was a causality in the confiscation of scientific knowledge.

[nerdylilspidey]

Ahh. Those pesky drive-by confiscations of scientific knowledge.

[6collegecredits]

They're a real pain in the ass. Took us weeks to get everything back.

[nerdylilspidey]

I can imagine.

...If I ask about the why, will secret agents appear to take me away?

[6collegecredits]

The short version is that my boss was studying theoretical wormholes that turned out to be not so theoretical when a Norse god crashed into our van.

Certain people didn't want that information floating around.

[nerdylilspidey]

[Norse god? This is clearly Ultimates/Avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D. related.]

You... A Norse god crashed into your van? How'd that happen?

[6collegecredits]

He was a little disoriented after getting grounded by his dad. You know, the literal kind of grounding.

[nerdylilspidey]

Oh... I guess that's fair. Norse gods probably don't get a lot of tech

[6collegecredits]

Different tech, anyway. Showing him the microwave was hilarious.

[nerdylilspidey]

Pictures or it never happened.

[6collegecredits]

Please. I documented his whole stay with us.

[And see attachment of Thor with his face squished up against the door of a microwave with Jane is the background waving her hands for him to stop.]

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter barely manages to hold back the snort of laughter. Thor. Of course it's Thor.]

I think that's the best thing I've seen since I got here.
