AUDIO; from a cafe; post-bottle

[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.

The worst kind. I don't even like those kinds of movies to begin with, so it's even more of a slag.

[A quiet sigh. He wasn't in the bottle with everyone, but he's heard word of it by now. It's...depressing, to put it shortly.]

If you're looking for good hammock space, if you even have one, I bet Wood Sector would do it for you. I mean, unless the Kedan get offended at the hanging of hammocks. Who knows with them sometimes.

Whoa... You don't like fantasy movies? No Lord of the Rings for you?

[He laughs a little.] I'm sure I'll find a good spot somewhere.

The farthest I go is Star Wars, even if Lucas has made questionable choices with the franchise, Jar Jar Binks aside.

Shhh. We do not speak of the prequels.

No, man, look - Anakin Skywalker is a good character and I can sort of get why he did what he did, but Luke is just better and I liked his journey more. And while we're on the subject, why didn't they ever make a Boba Fett film for that matter?

[He has many Star Wars opinions okay.]

Yeah, no- I totally get it. Anakin's good and all, but they just- It could've been done way better, for one thing. For another, you're totally right about Luke. And I've always wondered why there isn't more Boba Fett in the world.

No one appreciates Boba. Especially not Lucas, considering the guy never got his own film. I swear the fans would fork over their wallets and life savings to Lucas for it, but no. Talk about a lost venture.

There are at least plenty of fans who do appreciate him. Maybe one day fans will get together and make a Boba movie on their own.

Well, the year is 2041 in my world and I can assure you it never happened for me. Maybe you'll be luckier on that front.

Whoa, what? Almost seventy years have gone by without any more Star Wars movies?

Well there were remakes, sure, but otherwise nothing. Nothing official at least.

Wow. The future really is looking bleak.

And remakes are never as good as the originals.

Yeah, it's a real dystopia. Hard to argue with you there man - sure the films are pretty damn outdated and the effects are cornier than corn, but they definitely hold up over the past half-century.

Classics are classics. My total nerdiness is beyond happy to hear it.

.......

I feel like I've suddenly become a little less cool now.

[Star Wars is the only nerd thing he subscribes to okay, even if it is like an ancient relic in film at his point in time.]

[There's a little laugh on Peter's end.]

Your secret is safe with me.

You're a good man.

[He needs to keep up SOME credibility over here!!]

Anyway pretty sure we got a little sidetracked there. Evil bottle stuff taken care of, lets cross our fingers for things going back to relative normality, at the least.

Thank you. I work hard to stay that way.

Well- hence the "normal-ish" statement I made. I think the standard for normal for most of us doesn't exist here.

Well we are on a giant living turtle, swimming around in what we think are unknown oceans. And it somehow gets weirder than that. I always knew there were weird things like this, but I never thought I'd be on the weird thing.

It could be a lot worse.
