( video | un: white_lotus )

[ the video opens on the white masked face and large pink eyes of one spider-woman ( secretly gwendolyn stacy. ) nothing else about the video seems odd…except perhaps for the way her pink-and-blue web-lined hood hangs around her head almost as if she were actually upside down ( she is. )

nothing else is weird. at all.

Greetings, Audentes. For those who don't know me, I'm your resident Spider-Woman. That's first name "Spider," last name "Woman," middle initial "hyphen." With that out of the way, I interrupt your daily routine to bring you this.

[ gwen flips her hand, seemingly pulling a scratched piece of holodisc out of midair. ( yes, she practiced that move. ) it vanishes from view as she holds it near the magitek. but the garbled audio is captured without problem. ]

--the core. Instability will result in-- --for this reason, we have--

[ gwen waits a few seconds so the message stands alone before proceeding. ]

Now, I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like the opposite of good. And considering all the holes and earthquakes and the earth generally being like nah to being stepped on around here, I'm guessing this planet thinks the same thing.

I also know my friend and I weren't the only ones who ran out to find more of these. [ the exaggerated friendliness with which she usually speaks tapers off into something more solemn. even the eyes of the mask narrow slightly. because masks do this. ] This planet was abandoned a thousand years ago for a reason. It's looking like we're going to discover that reason on our own. I prefer to do my research first so if anyone's found more of these messages, time to share with the class.

GOOD someone was smart enough to put together like a masterlist of these

so... do we have any clue how far they've drilled? that says seven thousand km to go, and that was, what, how many hundreds of years ago? because one thing we can get from this is that we don't want them to reach the core, like, EVER

I know, right? I'm still waiting for the Spider-Dog.

Whoa, really? Me too, small fuckin' interdimensional team!
heavyhitter: i'm a rockstar (so what?)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-03 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll put dog ears on my spider and send her in. Gotcha covered.

[ hello there SPIDER-WOMAN, have a video of one (1) Stiles, staring at you. or, well, staring straight ahead like he's on The Office — ]

. . . seriously?

[ wHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO HIM WHY IS HE APPARENTLY ONLY FRIENDS WITH SPIDER-PEOPLE who also seem really determined to keep their secret identities, though ??? would she... use.... a voice-changing device or something, how is this even possible, how does she think this works as a secret identity, god he's despairing here ]

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That... so wasn't what I was going for but I love it, awesome. But should it be called, like, Dog-Spider instead of Spider-Dog?

[ this is a v important distinction ]
heavyhitter: (yeah you'd hand your life to me)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I like it, switch it up a little. Or else people are gonna be expecting a retriever in footie pajamas, or something.
figureitout: (◐ but now it's time)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, think of the surprise... here comes the Spider-Dog, friendly neighborhood Spider-Dog and suddenly every arachnophobe just decides they don't even need saving.

[ he even sings the theme and all!! badly... but, you know, it's the attempt that counts. ]
heavyhitter: (i'll break it up make it bleed)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-03 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, but she does tricks! It's precious, not even an arachnophobe could hate her.
figureitout: (◐ lays behind the hills)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Color me intrigued, what kind of tricks? Walk on only the two front legs? Spin a web in the form of a heart?

[ . . . . . . if there's one thing he knows about Gwen, it's that she loves her jokes, but also that she loves her jokes when they're grounded in reality, so — ]

... do I even want to know more? Spider-Ham, please tell me you're joking. I mean, no offense.
figureitout: (◐ running is a victory)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
well that's a definite "no" on my part

hopefully someone has, though, because this is kind of crucial information... what do you think it is? some kind of mineral in the planet's core that explodes when it gets in touch with oxygen? a gas that slowly kills everyone who breathes it in?
heavyhitter: i'd never leave one of those just lying around like that...as far as you know (what i didn't leave that there)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-03 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, mostly it's that she'll sort of follow your finger around, but I think that one might just be a hunting instinct. It's kinda a work in progress.

[ he wasn't supposed to ask what kind of tricks... ]
figureitout: (◐ the sun will be guiding)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ actually, it would be "seriously, out of my two roommates, BOTH dress up in a mask and go around playing superheroes, how did this happen to me", but, details.

please allow him a while longer to keep staring, before moving his gaze up towards the ceiling, declaring in the most despairing tone in the entire world,
]

... why me?

[ why, why is it always him.........

he only allows for this one moment, though, before sighing and looking back at Gwen.
]

I mean, awesome, great to meet you, Spider-Hyphen-Woman. [ said. in the most "we-so-are-not-meeting-for-the-first-time-here" way he can manage without saying as much. ]
figureitout: (◐they're trying to catch you)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... what the hell, man, that's adorable.

[ IT'S OKAY RAMIR IT WORKS ]

Just teach her to, like, spin a web at the same time and she'll make these nice circles, you could make an eight or the Olympic rings, instant hit right there!
figureitout: (◐ lays behind the hills)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I literally have no idea whether that's a thing or if you just mashed together some words and numbers and called it a day.

[ but she seems to be having a blast...... so it's fine. probably. ]

So... what does this spectacular spider-pig do? Sling around the city saving people? Are you two, like, a team?
heavyhitter: you traded me away long gone (with a shower of yeahs and whatevers)

[personal profile] heavyhitter 2016-11-03 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, so you might not be picturing this right. She's huge, did I mention that?
figureitout: (◐ and disappear in the trees)

[personal profile] figureitout 2016-11-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ -- record scratch sound. ]

So... define "huge"? As in, larger than a hand huge? Or those temporal insects from the depths of hell huge?
heavyhitter: we don't need no camouflage (it's who we are)

Like, you know, rideable.
