[ on-screen: ( 1 ) gwen stacy, a completely normal college student, wide-eyed, frowning. this is serious. a tragedy in motion. ]

I know we're all busy what with smashing bugs, do they even still count as bugs when you can spike them like a football? [ gwen stacy, asking the tough questions, ] but I have an emergency. See this? [ she holds up a cell phone in front of her face. the background reads "THE MARY JANES." the eagle-eyed will note the battery symbol in the corner: warning red. ]

This is my life. Not only is it my life, it's sitting at less than 10% charge so if I don’t get a charger for it pronto, I will literally die.

[ """""""literally.""""""" ]

Somebody has to have one. Help me, Samsung-Juan, whoever you are. You're my only hope.

[ other people have questions starting with "how" and "why" and "what the actual f—" gwen stacy, however, has #priorities. ]

[ ah, so you think he's hot. ]

Uh. Hang on—

[ he has to check and — yep. dangit. of course she would have responded already. flashing a gadget through the network's pretty much like dangling a carrot in front of a really nerdy bunny.

he sighs a bit. ]

Yeah. The little one, with the floofy hair and glasses? That'd be Pidge.

[construing]

[ if nothing else, she's glad for the vote of confidence. gives her hope she might have her own charger after this. ]

Floofy hair, glasses, got it. Thanks for the reference. I'll be in touch.

[ spoilers: she won't be. ]

[competing]

H-hang on—! Don't I at least get a name?

[construing]

Don't you have a name?

[competing]

[ someone knows how to fight dirty don't they ]

I meant yours.

[ but fine, if she wants him to go first— ]

I'm Lance.

[construing]

[ you have no idea. ]

Lance no last name. Please tell me that's a Madonna reference too.

[competing]

[ omg don't do this to me okay canon is holding back! ]

Uh... yes?

[ is that a good thing? does she like madonna??? ]

[construing]

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Are you asking me about your name again? Are you sure Lance is a real name?

[competing]

[ lance isn't sure what's happening anymore, but he has a feeling he is being attacked somehow. ]

Lance is totally a real name because it is my name, now do you have one or not??

disconnect.

[construing]

I'm not going to reward this kind of behavior.

[ click bye ]
