( 001 ) PARKER'S POV | TEXT/IMAGE

[spidersenses]

	NEW SURROUNDINGS I read the FAQ and stuff...It's gonna take a while to get used to things - but I guess I'm pretty adaptable. Waking up in blue goo is pretty surreal. Do you ever get used to it?

[circumitus]

[...Simply put?]

No.

[spidersenses]

[ O-Oh okay. :C ]

Damn... You been here a while?

[starked]

Yes and if you're really awesome, you'll learn not to puke after waking up in it.

[ another text right after. ]

Seriously, though, a picture?

[spidersenses]

I gotta say all the puke that goes around in that room with the goo cylinders isn't the most pleasant experience...

[ AND AFTER, BECAUSE DAMNIT TONY ]

Why not?

[ SHE'D KNOW THOSE HIPSTER PHOTOS ANYWHERE! nah, she wouldn't, but it'd be cool if things worked like that. instead she's just texting back; ]

This was only my second jump, but I can safely say that no, it doesn't get any easier. I'm pretty sure the human body isn't meant to go into stasis unprepared the way we're forced to here. ... Not that I have any proof of that, it's really just an assumption. Based on the fact that everyone feels kind of sick after.

But, right. No, I don't think so.

[spidersenses]

I dunno, maybe I'm thinking having the whole breathing tube down your mouth triggers some sort of gag reflex or something... But, yeah - that was pretty awful as far as experiences go.

I guess you're kinda new too, huh?

[ripstides]

Going to have to go with definitely not, and that's my final answer. [ DAMN YOU, TEXTERS. WITH YOUR WORDS. ]

[spidersenses]

Damn. If it doesn't get better, does it get worse?

[constructum]

What's with the picture?

[spidersenses]

It says a thousand words. c:

[ he's read about smiley on the ianto post and he doesn't wanna upset anyone. ]

It's not you - is it?

[tact]

A tip from one kidnappee to another? It's a pain to get out of your clothes.

[ or maybe it does. what do i know? cordelia's just massively bitter about waking up in goo. it's something only crazy people get used to. ]

Re: text;

[spidersenses]

Noted. So it's shower then clothes then hang around by the lockers.

It's kinda like gym class except you gotta deal with hyperspace instead of basketballs.

[stimulations]

A photographer, is it? Strange to think we didn't have one in our number before. And in answer to your question: we grow used to everything, eventually.

( PERMA-VIDEO )

[spidersenses]

[ since Peter finds it immensely awkward to answer via text ( hey, aunt may taught him waaay better than that ) he flips on to video. congrats, josie! first person to see bambi's face on the network. ]

Um, yeah. I was the school photographer back in midtown, I guess we try to do what's familiar to ease us into a rough situation. It's a people thing, trying to like - regain some form of control. I dunno. That's the way I see it.

video.

[shoyu]

Aha, I'm quite sure we would have known what the couches look like without the visual reference, but I suppose it helps guide the conversation along! [ a soft laugh before he adds, ] It doesn't look like the nausea and dizziness ever completely fade, but one does grow more acclimated to it as time goes by.

VIDEO

[spidersenses]

[ Well, it's definitely a conversation starter. Peter's skimmed and lurked through the network but he didn't go all the way back to check on whether or not anyone's ever done that. He feels like he's achieved a minor milestone. ]

Um yeah, well, a picture does say a thousand words. I guess.

[ a beat. ]

You been here a while?

[misunderstanding]

It's the second time it's happened to me, and, no, I can't say I'm any more used to it.


Did you take that photo?

[spidersenses]

So everyone's been saying. Damn, it's like a monthly rough patch. Huh?

Yeah, I did.

[insufferableprick]

holy shit
they gave a photographer his camera
so of course the first thing he does with it is take artistic space porn pics
gj dude A+

[spidersenses]

Woah, hey man. This isn't porn - it's totally tasteful.

Voice; TEXT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAY BY THE RULES.

[andblockbuster]

So the consensus is basically "yes, but it still sucks." Welcome to the future, bro.

VOICE BACK. OH GOSH NERDYHIPSTERBROS. :C

[spidersenses]

Um, yeah man. I dunno, I mean - I think the potential of time and space travel is interesting it's just - woulda handled it a lot better with a bit of warning, I guess?

[theyalldieforme]

You start getting a headache from it.

[spidersenses]

Can the space migraines get solved by the space paracetamols?

[chaineddog]

Are you some sick pervert or something posting a picture like that?

[There's more irritation behind the words than anything. He doesn't expect half of these people know what it's like have to relive some of their worst nightmares in a gravity couch but it still pisses him off nonetheless.]

[spidersenses]

[ Peter takes a few moments to stare at this. ]

Sorry, man. I thought it was tasteful. I mean, I dunno - It's kind of a common experience. It's like the one thing that ties us all together or something...

[besiege]

whats the picture for
think we havent seen enough of those pods around yet?

[spidersenses]

Just trying to capture the moment.

I'm starting to think I did bad judgement call in posting it up.

[petitehands]

"Surreal" is one way of describing it, I guess. I think some people might prefer "alarming", though.

Not to be too pessimistic, but I'd be impressed if you ever got used to this cycle if you're not already familiar with these kind of surroundings. I take it you're not?

[spidersenses]

I dunno. I'll get alarmed when all the bad stuff everyone's been warning about happens.

No, Ma'am or Sir (sorry, I just get to see your number. a/s/l sounds inappropriate to ask.) - but, i'm from 2012 nyc if that's anything. What about you, you used to space?

video;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Hardly. Would you want to get used to it, though? I'd hate to think of staying here long enough that it became mundane.

AND THE BAMBINESS BEGINS. (VIDEO)

[spidersenses]

[ He actually skips over everything Remus has said in favor of ]

Motherhover, you gotta be kidding me. You've got my face.

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

Of whom is that a photograph?

[spidersenses]

Not good with names.

But according to the number on his arm: 009 » 014.

[COMMENT NOT HERE]

[500men]

[George has to stop himself from responding. You always take compromising pictures like that? Some kind of remark, something..decent but.

His expression tight, he turns off the feed.]

[bottlearum]

Not in the least, mate.

[spidersenses]

Not in the least, huh? You been here a while?

I take it that's not for your scrapbook.
