VIDEO Track 001

[ It took Peter a while to figure out the whole smartphone thing. To be fair though for him 'a while' was like... five minutes. Maybe six. Oh he still hadn't figured out EVERYTHING yet, but like the basics? Totally down. He had to fight the urge to try and take it apart and put it back together again. He had a feeling it was waaaay more complicated then the walkmans and arcade cabinets he pulled apart and tweaked. ]

This thing is so awesome... Like something outta a scifi flick or something...

[ There's a guy with a silver mullet and motorcycle goggles perched on his head on the screen. No really. Dude looks like he walked right outta the 80s. He pretty much did too. There's also an odd high pitched buzzing noise in the background. Technically it was music. A mix of Queen, David Bowie, Rush, and Pink Floyd. Not that most would notice. It was being plaid at like... several hundred times the normal speed. Luckily Peter notices he left his walkman on and he flips it off after a couple seconds. ]

Anyway, hey. Name's Peter Maximoff and it's come to my attention that it is the year 2016. Last I checked it was 1983.  That means I'm missing out on 33 years worth of music and that's a damn tragedy. [Clearly that's his most important issue here now. ] So y'know. I need recs from all you future people! What's good? What sucks? I'm not too picky about genre but I gotta have music or I'll probably go crazy.

[ OK so really he's still worrying about his mom and his sisters and the kids at the Prof's school and other family issues that he just really doesn't wanna think about daddy issues don't ask. So to keep his mind off things he's just gonna think about music and stuff because running more laps around the city really isn't helping him much. ]

Oh! And video games. There's gotta be like at least a dozen new versions of the Atari and ColecoVision by now, right?

An obsession!

[inmyothertights]

Are you sure your name isn't Thomas?

[sweetdreamsare]

[ Peter blurs on camera and a split second later he's got a phonebook. ]

Nope, not my name. But you know who IS named Thomas? Dr. Thomas Miller, ear nose and throat specialist. Cause YOU seem to need those ears of yours checked out. Ready for the phone number?

[inmyothertights]

Is your sister Wanda?

[HE IS REALLY USED TO IGNORING TOMMY'S SHIT YOU GOTTA WORK HARDER THAN THAT UNCLE P]

[sweetdreamsare]

[ What? No. Don't ignore him. ]

Wandy? Yeah she's my sister. YOU are way too young for her though.

[inmyothertights]

Wandy-

Ew.

[sweetdreamsare]

[ not the reaction he was really expecting. ]

You know I got the feeling we're having two tooootally different conversations here.

[inmyothertights]

She's my-

I know her.

[sweetdreamsare]

What? Whaaaaaaaaat.

[ UGH. You're killing him here he is literally like the most impatient person he knows. ]

[inmyothertights]

Mom.

[sweetdreamsare]

[ Congratulations Billy! You have done the impossible and stunned him into silence for five whole seconds. ]

Sorry, didn't quite catch that.

[inmyothertights]

She's...my mom.

[sweetdreamsare]

[ Oh man that's what he thought. ]

I'm pretty sure I'd know if she had a kid. And besides aren't you kinda old? I mean not old-old but she would have had to be like six or seven to have a kid your age like gross. Unless you're the other Wanda's kid? But she's about the same age... though I guess this is 2016... but I think the other Wanda came from 2016 too. Is there another Wanda? A third one? MORE? That is too many Wandas I mean I love my sister but the thought of a herd of spooky magic girls trying to get me to behave like a mature and responsible adult is terrifying. I think I had a nightmare like that once.

[ He is talking VERY quickly. ]

[inmyothertights]

[Luckily he's good at following someone speaking very quickly. He has a lot of practice.]

Third Wanda.

Also you're...a lot more....grumpy. Where I'm from.

[sweetdreamsare]

Third Wanda.

[ He looks a little pale as he scratches the back of his neck. He's just imagining a world with three Wandas in it. He'd never be able to get away with anything ever. ]

Eh, why waste time being grumpy? Too many awesome things out there to see and do. Just don't catch me before my six cups of coffee in the morning.

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, and yet, you're....pretty grumpy.

Though actually you remind me of my brother, which is weird. I mean you have the same power but-

[sweetdreamsare]

That why you called me Thomas? And if he's got the same as me that mean you do the [ ominous magical finger wiggling! ] spooky thing?

[inmyothertights]

Yeah. That's right.

[sweetdreamsare]

Can you turn a box of Twinkies into a box of bananas? Because she claims that's not a thing she can actually do but I think she's a liar.

[ This is probably not the question he SHOULD be asking but it's been something that's been bother him for AGES. ]

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, technically. That's not that hard.

[sweetdreamsare]

I knew it!

[ He'd say wait til I tell her... but, well she's not exactly even in this world. ]

So yeah. You're my weird extra-dimensional nephew then? That's weird, I'm not even old enough to be an Uncle... or well maybe the uncle of like a five year old. You look the same age as my kid sister though. Maybe a little older?

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, something like that.

How old are you?

honestly he could be as old as 30 WHO KNOWS

[sweetdreamsare]

[ Peter just barely manages to bite back something snarky. A kneejerk reaction because he hears that question ALL the time usually from his mom and sisters in connection with him doing or saying something immature and/or dumb. ]

Me? Twenty-five.

it's the greatest of mysteries

[inmyothertights]

You have time to grow into it.

[sweetdreamsare]

You are ruining the whole alternate reality twilight zone uncle-nephew bonding moment here.
