[ 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! ))

I'll keep an eye out then. For sure.

[ He wants to meet her even more now, gosh.

Also, uh. How much does he want to explain? He could explain quite a lot. ]

I mean, we kinda have to be? We're not going to sit there and literally fight a dragon. So we roll dice instead? Weighted randomness, pretty much. And disadvantage just means you're gonna roll twice and take the result that sucks more.

i want u to know this tag hurts to write. irony she hurts like a bitch.

She’s blue and loud and leaves a trail of dick graffiti and bawdy business signages behind her. Can’t miss her.

[A beat.]

I wasn’t saying literally fight a dragon, gods, those things are awful. You’d probably actually die the second it breathed on you. [No offense.] I was thinking more, well, theoretically if you’re prone and lying on the ground it’s much easier for someone to take a stab at you. In your imagination. That’s already a disadvantage, the kind without dice rolls.

[He says this from personal experience in fights. It is way easier for someone to get hit if they’re lying on the ground.]

Sounds a bit like gambling. Just with less money and more imagination involved.

BEAUTIFUL

[ Peter has to wonder now what would actually happen? He also wonders what level he translates to. Or what class. Rogue/warlock hybrid with custom spider patron? ... Well now he's got to write this out sometime. ]

Well - yeah, exactly, that's why there's special rules. For the prone thing. Buuut just rolling twice and taking the lower number is an easy shortcut if you're working off pirated printoffs and don't have a physical book to flip through.

Also yeah, that's pretty accurate.
