Video; UN: Spider-Man

[quipsandthwips]

Hey, everyone! Spider-Man here — AKA your favorite Peter! Sorry to all the other Peters, but them's just the breaks. I've worked too hard the last three years around here to not get top-billed spot as Peter! ... Alright, alright, maybe I'll share with Peter Graham. But only because he's as old and tired as me. We're like a thousand years old in spirit, right? Right. The Peter Pack old boys.

Anyway, I used to give people informational packets, back when we lived in, uh... Deerington. You know, in Maine? You remember that old chestnut? Yeah, me too. Lucky me, my house and lab came with me! A little less furbished, but I do what I can. I'll be starting up my new job as a teacher here at the school soon, because old habits die hard, but I suppose I don't mind doing some teaching outside of the school, too, sooooo...

If you wanna know anything about the world that existed before Trench, I can answer questions as best I can. You guys all deserve that. And, uh. If it helps — I've attached a copy of the PPPP(S). Yup, that's right! The original! The O.G., as the hip kids call it.

[FILE ATTACHED.]

Super sorry if anything's confusing; I can fill out any of the weird blanks or things that don't quite make sense. And for everyone who doesn't need this info because they swam their little squid tuckuses behind me.... Hey! How's it going! Tell me a good joke, if you've got one. Let me know how you're settling while you're at it. I've been pretty good, personally. Lots of fighting, y'know. Creepy monsters away from the outskirts of town.

So basically nothing's changed.

Well, nothing other than the month, I guess! Wow, wait, is it already a new month? Can't believe...

[He trails off, and seems to realize, belatedly, loudly, and with great concern:]



OH NO, NOT OCTOBER!

Like for real, not one of those guys dressed up in L.A. who wants money for a shitty polaroid with him?

Sorry. Sorry, that's just so cool.

Uhm. Why are you guys all shitting your pants over October? It's just... October.

... I mean, I wouldn't have minded taking pictures for money. Maybe then I could afford to be Spider-Man and have a normal life. But hey, that's just how it works when you're a vigilante in tights!

[He appreciates the recognition, though! It reminds him a lot of home, whenever people actually get all giddy about it. Gives him the ol' warm and fuzzies in his chest.

After a moment's pause:]

You ever learn about the other place? The dream from before this — Deerington.

Great power, great responsibility, yeah. No paycheques guaranteed.

A bit, yeah. Seems like almost everyone was there before here. I think I'm an anomaly.

Not to be concerning, but you might've been around before and just not remembered it. It's not a big deal, though! A lot of us have memory issues from popping in and out of the place; I know there have been a few Spider-Men who couldn't remember showing up before.

... Ah, and yeah, there were a few Spider-Men here at one time. And Spider-Woman!

No Spider-Ham yet, though.

I feel like by now somebody would have been like, "hey, Broflovski!" Besides, my last memory before being a squid was being on an alien planet.

Aw, too bad. Still. Pretty cool.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. There have been a lot of years since Sleepers showed up in Deerington. Lifetimes, maybe. It's complicated.

... Alien planet?

[kyley_b]

If you say so.

Yeah. How is that any weirder than horror movie town?

[quipsandthwips]

I guess that depends on just how weird this alien planet was.

... But Deerington is technically caused by an alien race, so. Point.
