deernet | Video; UN: Spider-Man

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!

I'm not really one to talk i guess
But every planet has darkness somewhere from what Ive learned on the railway
Maybe not THIS much...not always anyway

Yeah, same.
But Deerington, you know, it has it's uh
unique ways.

Just be a little more cautious, is all.
Try to not go out TOO much in October, or at least you can always give me a call to give you a thumbs up or thumbs down before you leave the house. I'll be doing the usual patrols, so if anything looks too concerning, I'll try to let people know ahead of time.

So DONT go anywhere unless you say so
But YOU can go out all fine?

Yup! 😎

What, did you want the superhero vigilante who worries 24/7 about everyone's safety to tell you to rush out into the city when it's dangerous?

Maybe practice more of what you preach
We're all kinda changed and on the same level now right??
I mean even someone like ME wound up with powers...

I'll need proof that you're safe with your powers!

Didn't I collect you off the side of a cliff? 🤔

Yeah but that was BEFORE i found out...

If you say soooooo!

Tell me about your weird powers! Whatcha got, bud?

Seems mostly like fire and electricity stuff
It's not like Mako's deal since we tried to figure that out earlier

'Like fire electricity stuff'. You can't just use three words to explain! C'mon, I wanna hear the details. Fire from your hands??? Or is this a 'my whole body lights on fire' situation? Do you need to buy new clothes all the time now?

How detailed do you need? i mean it usually starts with electricity all over
It just pops out like fire
But it doesnt seem to mess up my clothes? it only seems to mess with stuff when it LEAVES me

Gotcha. Do you think you'd benefit from any power dampeners? Are you having trouble controlling it, or situations where it gets out of hand?

It was a bit dicey for a while but its been a few days and things really seemed to calm down
I mean i guess you would say the opposite since the month but since its changed ive been a LOT less messed up...or seems that way

Dicey, right.
Well, if you notice any issues with your power fluctuating, come talk to me, alright?
I've been thinking power dampeners might be a good project to start poking at.

Wait are your powers on the fritz or something?
Or are you talking about because other people are having problems??

A little bit of both, actually.
I developed some handy little tools to help me with my current webslinging issues. Figured I could extend my services and try to develop some tools to help others with their powers, too.

Not a bad idea
Maybe that Varian kid can help you out? seems pretty smart and handy

If anything, it'd be a nice project to keep our minds occupied in October!

It'll be fun! :D

Right...
Sorry i'm not really good at tinkering or stuff like that so all i can do is offer good luck

Hey, it's all good!
If you have any issues with powers later, just hit me up. You can test some stuff!

But if you're getting along fine without something like that, then that's a win! Right?
