[ 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! ))

Okay, cool. I wasn’t planning on that anyway.

I didn’t think so, but. Y’know.

[ A pause. ]

Also if you have any vampire friends, they should steer clear, I guess.

Nah, no vampires. Just werewolves. [G o d he hopes vampires aren’t a thing on his world. He hasn’t found anything yet, at least.]

Cool. Um. That’s probably the only really dangerous weird thing? I mean, my color vision is kind of messed up, but that only affects me.

Wait, really? Messed up like how?

Well, when this happened, my senses got dialed up to eleven? Way too much input. And I think some of it's some IR and UV stuff. Not enough to do anything cool with, but colors definitely don't look the same any more.

That’s cool as hell. [He wishes there was a way he could see that, honestly.]

Yeah, well, it's cool until you're wearing something super clashing and your aunt has to tell you that the 90s threw up on you.

[ He is dressed in very plain, muted colors. Blues, grays, and nerdy t-shirts. Hard to mess up. ]
