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!

( Twenty-six: that's like college age, older-but-in-a-cool-way. Peter's nodding like this makes perfect sense to him, because it does. No wonder Mr. P is so chill. The kind of adult that's not so intimidating yet: the kind that still remembers what it's like to be eighteen, probably. )

Oh yeah, you're definitely not that old yet. ( A little grin, a rare moment of playfulness from Peter. )

I feel like it's maybe a little too retro.... ( Of course he's complaining. Gloomy pants. ) I feel like a dang founding father. Might as well put on a big white wig.

[He absolutely remembers what it was like at eighteen.

Well, uh. He was also Spider-Man, so life was extra stressful, but it's cool.]

Considering the lack of electricity around here, I'd say we've got bigger fish to fry.

... You could always show up to school in a powdered wig, though.

cw: drug mention

Yeah, the weird moon lamp things are like.... good for ambiance, but it's weird not having electricity.

( He's... having a Time adjusting. And he can't even properly enjoy the lunar ambiance, because he can't find any weed around here.... Peter's giving a dumb little grin at that, though. )

I guess I'd fit in better if I try to dress like I'm from old times. Gotta find some of those shoes with... belt buckles on them. Converse don't exactly seem to be in fashion around here.

[quipsandthwips]

It's horrible, isn't it? I got lucky still getting my own pair of sneaks before showing up here.

... But I think I'd rock some belt-buckle shoes.

Maybe we should save that for November. Thanksgiving, and all.

I'll wear the look with my spidey suit!
