[video] I'M STILL ALIVE GUYS SEE LOOK

[luckynumber42]

Wow, alright, this is new.

[On the camera is a guy in his late twenties to early thirties who looks like he could be Miles Morales's dad. The name associated with the post, though, is Miles Morales.]

So...I don't think I'll be going to school for a while. Does this mean I need to get a serious adult job now?

Either way, I need some new clothes, because this isn't going to cut it. Do you think I could go to a clothing store wrapped in a bedsheet, or would that be a little too weird?

Wear it like a toga!

[luckynumber42]

A toga? I thought people only wore those on sitcoms.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Or on Halloween! Or if they're an ancient Roman!

Or if they're too big for all their clothes.

[luckynumber42]

...Okay, yeah. Maybe if I can find some safety pins around here I can even make it look like actual clothes!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

That's the spirit!

Togas are totally legit and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[luckynumber42]

Do you wear togas?

[You certainly seem to like them.]

[luckynumber42]

[Oh man he hadn't even considered he'd be taller than Kamala now. This whole "old enough to be a dad" thing is a problem, but this at least is pretty nice.]

I don't know. Magic? It just sort of happened.

[luckynumber42]

I have no idea! I was just here minding my own business like usual when bam, suddenly my shirt is way too tight and everything looks way smaller than it did a few minutes ago.

[ Peter's face is the dictionary definition of long-suffering. ]

You could borrow from someone else until this is all worked out. I'm betting there are more than a few people with clothes to spare right now.

[who's THIS kid??]

Yeah, I hope I can find someone with clothes this size... Whatever 'this size' is. [He gestures down at his body and his makeshift crop top.]

So far someone's told me to wear a bedsheet as a toga.

[ Miles, dude, look at the comm ID. ]

Someone's gotta have a pair of sweatpants. How tall are you?

[luckynumber42]

[He's getting around to it okay!!!]

Uh, let me go get a tape measure. I have no idea.

[He wanders off for a few minutes before coming back.]

I'm six foot th-- [and that's when he finally gets a look at the comm ID.]

Peter Parker?

Do you have a really big coat or anything more suitable?

[luckynumber42]

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing this big. Everything I have is tiny compared to this.

[onhold]

( Okay, that's a problem. )

Um, well, do you want someone to go out and get you something?

video;

[luckynumber42]

Maybe.

Only if it's not like a huge hassle to do it.

[onhold]

It's no problem at all. There's this thrift store near where I live that I got some of my clothes from when I first arrived here. Would that suit you?

[sciencelady]

[luckynumber42]

[These are all valid ideas (and compliments, he's not sure how to feel about that one), but.]

I don't think they'll let a grown man keep his job as the photographer for a youth newspaper.
