( 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?

Comments

[spidersenses]

No, no. I'm not - I'm Peter. [ and because Gwen Stacey is here - he's just Peter for now. ] I guess, you're Remus? Just, alright - I get that. When I read the whole F.A.Q - the being pulled from different places thing. - Just how do you have my face?

[ He really wants to ask whether or not you've got powers, Remus. See, facetwin identity crisis and double life secret bonding is a thing I didn't know I needed. esdrfg ]

facetwin/bonding things are something I ALWAYS need

[theshabbiestofmen]

I really don't have much of an answer, I'm afraid-- but I do know it's been happening all over the ship. We're not the first pair to look similar. Do you have a last name, Peter?

The Bambiest of bonding.ajsdka YES PLEASE

[spidersenses]

Yeah, of course. I got a last name. Everyone's got a last name.

[ he just can't divulge it at the moment. His life's a bit complicated. ]

Is there a way to like, make things private? Like filter other people out?

[ He's reminded of what Aunt May said to him now, Secrets have a cost and their never for free - right? ]

private;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Er-- yes, hang on.

[Wizards aren't very good at technology-- but he'd gotten a crash-course from Sirius, so he's not entirely useless at this. Soon he's managed to make it private-- though of course anyone even remotely good at hacking will be able to spring into it.]

I think we're speaking privately now.

[spidersenses]

It's Parker. Peter Parker. I've just - I've got people from back home - that shouldn't know I'm here? It's just - I dunno, this whole 'you got my face' deal is another story though.

{ just combing his hair back with a hand before looking at Remus. ]

Did you just get here too?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Sort of. Apparently I was here for months as an adult, only I can't remember it, so-- yes and no. Who shouldn't know you're here?

[spidersenses]

[ He's really grateful there's a simple explanation to this. ]

Oh, my ex-girlfriend's on board.

[ just leaving it at that. ]

Wait, what? You were here for a couple of months as an adult?

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He nods, pulling a sympathetic sort of face.]

That's got to be a bit awkward, yes. But-- yes. I was at least twenty-five, or around there, I think, I don't know. I haven't really discussed it with my friend yet. Odd, isn't it?

[spidersenses]

[ Thanks facetwin bro. Thanks for understanding. ]

Yeah, that's definitely weird. I mean, it really sucks you're here twice. But I mean, I'm sure it's ... It's weirder for your friend. I dunno.

The science of this situation is all messed up.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[Science, magic-- Remus' mouth twists a little as he considers what it might be. Really, the lines blur when it comes to this sort of thing; he hasn't the faintest idea of how either could produce such a thing.]

Well. Would you like to meet in person and get that over with? We can compare-- I don't know-- height and such.

[spidersenses]

[ Peter doesn't really know how to feel about it. On one hand, he's not sure how weird this is in comparison with the rest of his life. ]

I wouldn't mind.

[ offering that up. ]

I mean, I am pretty curious. I wanna see how different our genetics are.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Indeed. I know there's a garden nearby, if you'd like to meet up there?

AHH WAIT, DO YOU HAVE PLURK? OuO asdja

[spidersenses]

Alright, that works. Someone's said, I should come check out the Oxygen Gardens anyway.

[ just shrugging. Okay, this has to be one of the more surreal things he has to deal with. ]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Then I'll meet you there. In-- let's call it fifteen minutes, perhaps?

[His face is rather pale, but Remus looks quite calm-- and that's hiding the panic he's feeling beneath it, of course, but no need for Peter to know that.]

[spidersenses]

Yeah - that. That works.

[ You're not the only one that's nervous, he's not sure how much of himself he should divulge. ]

hey what's up threadjacking this

[doggedly]

Hang on hang on hang on. Peter? You're actually called Peter?

[spidersenses]

[ Sorry, Sirius. Your life must be so weird. Dude who looks Moony but is named Peter. ]

Yeah, that's. My names Peter. There a problem?

[doggedly]

[THE WEIRDEST and also the most hilarious]

Peter! No! No problem! 'Course not! I'm actually a little jealous, I don't mind saying, but I s'ppose there will be others. So. It's more adorable than anything else, if you'd like the whole truth of it.

[spidersenses]

A little jealous?

[ Squinting. Cause man, he's just really confused. ]

- You lost me, man.

[doggedly]

'Course I'm jealous. I ought to have been the namesake, after all, I'm better than any Peters. [And, in case this still doesn't make sense, he clarifies:] Logically, you're a progeny.
