[ that's it. guess who definitely wasn't expecting to be on a train to new tokyo? yeah. ]

Do you really wish for me to simper at your feet, mister? How lewd.

[thwipandrelease]

yeah well, not going to be a whole lot of swinging around doing anything with big brother watching
so i guess i'm gonna be stuck with that 9-5 life

to say i'm disappointed is an understatement

[reneger]

there are devices that scramble the ability to read your chip, and plenty of camera blind spots in the shadier side of town back in NA

you'll figure something out

[isherarmor]

Oh. So a ring is a message? That's easy enough to remember, if a bit odd.

Both kinds of people, then? Or ...creatures. I saw my brother, and people I would consider friends, or friendly at the very least. But I also saw my wolf, Lady, and she's never been here. I'd feel it if she were, and I felt it in the dreams, but not now.

Have you had it looked at? Your head, I mean. The injury you speak of was before New Amsterdam, yes?

All of this is more than a little troubling, but I can't say why. :-(

[isherarmor]

💩 💩 💩

[Agreed.]

Three shits out of ten. Ten being the worst, I mean.

I'm glad its not ten.

[motivation]

shit ranking
i like it

wow man this is way way late

[thwipandrelease]

most heroes aren't exactly out in my world.
too much potential for those we care about to get caught in the crossfire.

but then there's those other pesky complications which are more concerning here.
no suit. government surveillance.
and a very different skill set that i'm still trying to figure out.

[thwipandrelease]

where there's a will there's a way.
thanks for the pep talk.

it helped, surprisingly.

i'm running a month behind we're all good here

[revlon]

That risk is still present here, I'm afraid. The complications you mentioned just heighten it, which I'm sure I don't need to tell you. But you're in familiar company, so it's a responsibility we all share, whether or not we all acknowledge it.

You're referring to your new ability? How is it different from what you could do previously, if you don't mind my asking?

[reneger]

now fuck off and never talk to me again

( gross, he doesn't want to hear he helped someone. peter, ew. )

[thwipandrelease]

see now that kind of rejection just makes me want to be your bestie.
i'll change your mind

[just to be insufferable. fight him if it's that big a deal]

[thwipandrelease]

it's honestly a little bit of a relief knowing that there's so many of us with this shared burden. i'm mostly used to being alone. i'll keep your secrets as long as you keep mine and so on.

yeah. i'm not sure that i've quite figured it out completely.
i functionally understand that it's a stress response, and i want to try and replicate it but in the middle of a train is hardly a good idea.

do you remember me making that beam move? that wasn't how it normally goes.
it was like some kind of force pushed it away. i didn't even really touch it much.

i've tried doing everything i used to do, whatever the extent of my new powers, i can definitively say that i can't climb walls, heal faster, nor am i especially extra-flexible. i was bitten by a radioactive spider before hence the name and the powers.

whatever this is? it's definitely not spider-adjacent.

[reneger]

have fun trying

[revlon]

[ There's a lot to parse here. But seeing as she was in the room when they created the world's first superhero from a few vials of blue serum, can she really judge radioactive spiders? Maybe a little. ]

I would recommend speaking with [Bad username or site: daisy @ johnson] on the matter of our newfound abilities and how they might manifest, especially since (as I understand it) hers are different to what she could do back home, too.

[thwipandrelease]

ah yeah. we've met.
she quite literally threw the new kid book at my head.
is she always so... abrupt?

[revlon]

How so?

[thwipandrelease]

i mean it's not like she was mean, but do most people effectively go 'here's the answers you probably have about being in a strange place' and then leave you to your own devices?

maybe i'm remembering it wrong. maybe she had a prior commitment.
mostly just trying to gauge how i need to approach her so i don't get another training manual sent to me electronically.

it's just not my learning style, you know?
fall on my face a few dozen times, okay. but reading a book? pfft.

[revlon]

I do think it's a little easier to get the gist from the guide and ask your more specific questions afterwards. But you're right, that's not everyone's style.

For what it's worth, arrivals are often a lot to take in.

[thwipandrelease]

it helped a lot.
especially considering the post-arrival lock in period. lots of time to mull over my various and assorted questions.

so i've gathered. hopefully i can be of help to whoever else shows up. you know, since it seems unlikely that it'll be stopping any time soon.
maybe we can team up again sometime. you know, after i figure this whole power situation out.

a million years late... just to wrap this up

[revlon]

I'd be glad to work with you again, Mr Benjamin, regardless of our power situation.
