[ So here's a new kid on the network tonight. Trying to find an angle that lets him hide at least some of his nervousness. Or at least lets him use it to channel his best impression of a Definitely Normal Team, No Superheroics Here Honest. He mostly just looks awkward and nerdy, which is … accurate anyway, so let’s go with that. ]

Hey - um, so I’m Peter. Peter Parker. And I just got here, and -

[ He’s read through what’s left of his files, he’s read through the last couple weeks of posts just to get a feel for things. After that, he has one incredibly important question: ]

Did I seriously just barely miss out on a Death Star being here? For real? That’s not fair. Please tell me it’s coming back at some point.

[ That’s probably an objectively incorrect thing to want, but. Look. That would have made his entire life. He could die happy. For the second time. Well, the second time dying, first time dying happy. Anyway, he turns reluctantly to the list of actual serious questions he made. Not enough time to ask them all (unless he just takes in a breath and rapid fire asks all of them in thirty seconds) so he’ll just pick one for now. ]

So, school. How is that working out for people who still hafta go? And can you like … argue with it at all? Because I’m all for finishing high school, but this is my third time going into sophomore year and I’m starting to feel like that movie with the Ghostbuster being depressed in Pennsylvania.

(( OOC: Spoilers for Far From Home are likely, but I can avoid them if necessary! ))

[ Peter's face just lights up. ]

Oh my god. I know what I'm doing this afternoon.

[ Great. Cool. Why is he encouraging this, again?

Oh yeah, because he doesn't want this kid to be bisected by a lightsaber.

He can't quite keep the sarcasm out of his voice, though: ]

Uh huh. Well, all power to you there, buddy. I can think of about a hundred other better things to do.

[ Like he hasn't read it all, already. ]

What? It's research. And I was gonna read comm archives today anyway.

[ Seems like a good start, even if the real treasure is the Sith poetry he finds along the way. ]

Research, uh huh. [ He sounds amused, though. ]

Well, better you than me.

You end up with any 'deep meaningful insights' to his character and you just let me know, buddy.

I'll submit a full report, Captain Dameron sir.

[ The urge to correct it to Commander is high, but. On Earth. Earth military. Earth rank.

Even if he did get reinstated as commander back home. ]

Hah. I'll be expecting it.

[ And with a salute he'll sign off. ]
