[Voice, then video]

[yessuitlady]

Alright, so this is audio... okay, so I'm on audio. That was easy. Good. Hey, Karen... let's run the interrogation mode. (Then;) Hey, if anyone's out there, I didn't get tossed through a black hole or into a brick wall or something? Uh, wait, is that the question...

(Normally this when he would expect his voice to become distorted and over the top deep, something that was supposed to sound "tough" or "menacing", but instead it remained the very same as it normally did.)

...Karen? What's up with the voice changer? I don't sound all scary. (This calling out and question go without response.) Hey, Karen?

(The silence is quickly interrupted by a few mutters among the lines of "Oh, this is bad. Mr. Stark's going to kill me if I wrecked this suit already." He goes quiet again minus a few mutters of (what sounds like) various functions and then curses.)

Dammit... I didn't hit the ground that hard, did I? This suit has definitely taken worse before and I don't even think I hit the ground this time...

(Eventually the dark screen is replaced by someone a dashing hero an obvious teenager wearing a mask. He adjusts his grip on the device that had been handed to him earlier and gives an awkward wave. It's obvious that he has taken refuge on a rooftop.) Okay, so video... video. Ah, good.

So, um, hey? I guess I'm not in Queens anymore?

No, you're not in Queens.

Who's Karen?

[ Hope it's not someone with a secret identity like Oracle who you really shouldn't have been calling by name on a public post! ]

Re: video;

[yessuitlady]

Then... how far from Queens am I?

(Peter may be a "newbie" still, but even he knows not to go screaming secret identities from the rooftops.)

Oh, right. Karen's the AI that's in my suit and she doesn't seem to be working... or like anything else on me at the moment.

(Even his web shooters seem to be on the fritz. He rubs the back of his head.)

Only maybe like a couple of miles, give or take several alternate universes.

I could swear we had tech yesterday, but we might've lost another god. Or we may just not have AI capabilities. Stuff's pretty weird here.

Re: video;

[yessuitlady]

I thought I must have messed something up by falling, but now that I think of it... I don't think I fell?

(His tone of voice might do more to show that he's frowning than if his mask was off and anyone could see his face.)

So, maybe it's not having AI capabilities...

You know something. I would never have thought there could be a god for tech. I always thought, if anything, they handled the stuff that leads up to it.

[ichoosefight]

Oh, there's a god for just about everything here. I'm god of coffee.

I'm Steph, by the way. Nice to meet you, masked stranger.

Re: video;

[yessuitlady]

Just about everything, huh? So, like the Greek Pantheon? But, they didn't have a position for coffee, I think. How'd you get that spot?

(Peter then has a moment of "Oh right, names. I'm in my mask. If I give my name then this whole secret identity thing is shot. If I don't, then people are gonna pry for it, maybe."

Decisions, decisions. Eventually, he stumbles in his words as he says;)

Hi, I'm...I'm, uh, Spider-Man.

video;

[ichoosefight]

Cool. Nice to meet you, Spider-Man.

[ She will have to come find him in uniform... just because. ]

I just found the temple, sat down in the nice chair and said 'yeah, I can be coffee god, this seems like a good plan.'

I'm on the agriculture throne too, but I'm sorta trying to get rid of it. Comes with living quarters and a vegetable garden. Just sayin'.

Re: video;

[yessuitlady]

Is it seriously that easy to take a throne? You'd think there'd be some sort of challenge to it...

(Peter is caught off guard by that last part.)

I...I don't know anything about growing food.

[justanitgirl]

[He's adorable. Adorable in that, she used to be that way like, a few years ago kinda way.] Nowhere near Queens, but you can come squat in the temple of tech if you want, or industry, but I'm trying to pawn that one off on someone. I'm Felicity by the way.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

Yeah, so like another world from what I've heard. (Here's that pause that normally would be someone using "man" or "damn", he might sound a little calmer, like he is trying to play it cool but he's worried. What about school? Or Aunt May? She was going to lose her mind if he suddenly and entirely stopped showing up at home.) I was hoping that I was wrong and that the worst case was that I was a plane ride away or something...

(He leans back where he was sitting.)

Uh, yeah. Right, it's introduction time. I'm P...no, Spider-Man. It's Spider-Man. It's nice to meet you.

I think I'm going to have to take you up on that offer to squat at a temple, this roof is really uncomfortable. And I'm used to attention, but I don't really want the kind I just got right now.

Re: Video

[justanitgirl]

[He is too cute, and adorable and clearly new to the whole trying to hide your secret identity thing. It's precious, especially to a seasoned veteran like her. She also wonders if he's realized it won't be easy with the whole living with them thing.] We're all a little ... dissatisfied with being here. Though on the upside, people have been going missing, so I'm thinking they're going home. [Peter, you are SO getting a hug when you get there.] If you tell me where you are I can draw you a map, oh, and don't mind the big muscley guy with the frowns. He's totally a pussycat. [No he's not. He shot one of their best friends in the back for training reasons, he shot ... ok, he shot a lot of their friends actually, but she knows he won't do anything to this kid.] Oh, and you don't mind fiberoptics, do you? I'm a bit more on the Silicon Valley end of tech.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

(Clearly new? He only just a short time ago brought down his first "bad guy" and without the technology - in case anyone was wondering.

Also, he has definitely not thought about how this might make living with everyone harder.)

I hope they are, but if they go missing... has anyone gone looking for them? To know for sure? I mean, they probably are if we're getting placed here randomly, but...

(He might welcome the hug, even if he might be more confused by the action than anything else. At least, he might be confused at first.

Then;)

Where am I? Um, let me see. (He looks around.) There's a lot of old buildings? I kind of woke up around a lot of people before that. Wait, hold on... (He turns the device around and jumps up. Then he films what he is able to see.) ...Does that help any?

So, the big muscley guy is okay? That's not the norm where I'm from... (A pause.) Oh, fiberoptics? No. No, I don't mind. I, uh, I wanted to learn more about that, actually...

Re: Video

[justanitgirl]

[Clearly, clearly new, and young. Is he a preteen or something? He sounds like his voice hasn't even deepened.] Then you've come to the right place. Tech is totally my thing. As long as it's not grease monkey tech. Totally not my thing then. [The jump cam is actually the perfect idea. She likes this kid. He's using his head.] That totally helps. And we're sure they're gone since a lot of them had thrones and now they're suddenly vacant. If they were still here that wouldn't be the case. [She starts drawing a map.] Oliver? He looks big and scary but he's narwal and garden gnome safe ... if you think of the garden gnomes as a cross between Gnomeo and Juliette gnomes and those ones from the episode where they get pissed that the girl killed their leader and start trying to kill her. Unrelated, he's also my boyfriend.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

(Well, she's much closer than the person who made a crack about mistaking him for a girl was.

Peter is a little self-conscious about the fact his voice has yet to deepen. If he were to be asked about his age, he would quickly point out that he is fifteen.)

Ah, I see. (It makes sense to him, at least as much as sense as something in this crazy situation can. He had just decided (more so realized) that he was going to have to roll with things as they came.) Is that why all those people were stoked to see me? Or have any part in that? Because back home, I wasn't exactly a huge deal. I was a neighborhood hero.

So, Oliver a nice guy until there's a reason to not be? (He goes.) Because that's just fair? I would say it's fair.

Re: Video

[justanitgirl]

Probably, but we're not totally sure what's going on yet. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, it would be great if you could help out with the whole lack of things thing, but that's not a decision I can make for you. And don't knock neighborhood heroes. They're just as good as any other hero; maybe even better. Basically. He's also mastered the art of frown-fu. [She holds up a paper with a rather simplified map from where he is to where she is.] Aaaaand map.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

I used to want to be one of the big names. Like an Avenger. I still kinda do, but I figured out after a little while of trying to get their attention that I wasn't ready. I mean, minus one weapon dealer, I was really just trying to stop people stealing and like giving directions to little old lost ladies. (Then he rubs the back of his head.) ...I'll think about it. See what I think I might be helpful with. I'll check out the temple first, see if that helps any.

(Then.) Whoa, that's a pretty good map. So I just need to keep going straight for a while then make a left?

(Silence.)

I'm reading that right, I think? I hope.

[chibalimulo]

Are you supposed to sound scary? I mean, obviously this isn't Queens. It's also not Charleston which is where I was, but you're welcome to come to the Temple of Death if you want someone to talk to.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

I'm supposed to, but it appears that function doesn't work here. (He definitely sounds like he's frowning.) Yeah, obviously it's not Queens... and not anywhere near there, I guess.

Wait, Temple of Death. So, you're the person who took that throne, right?

I wouldn't have thought someone from Charleson.

Re: Video

[chibalimulo]

[ Alida laughs, no doubt not looking like a Goddess of Death at all. ]

Not at all. I just... have an affinity for it, you could say.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

An affinity? How does someone have an affinity for it?

...Uh, if you don't mind me asking that?

Video

[chibalimulo]

[ She shrugs. ]

I see ghosts.

Re: Video

[yessuitlady]

(That doesn't compute, not right away. Eventually;)

Whoa, you see ghosts? What's that like? I never thought about if they were real or not, so...

Re: Video

[chibalimulo]

It's not nearly as fun as you might think.

[floatingrocks]

[Rey cranes her neck, squinting.]

Is there someone with you?

[An alien? Sure looks like it.]

Re: video

[yessuitlady]

(Peter finds himself sputtering a bit.)

Uh, right it must look like there is someone with me right now...

(He shakes his head wildly.)

Karen's just an AI that's in my suit...
