GUESS WHO'S NERVOUS

also second, "guess who" but more literally, because this message contains only the TAB signature of one lady hawke - peter knows better than to connect his own TAB to his spider-man stuff, okay.

third guess (the charm) who's totally playing it off by being a cool guy, having totally hit record on the TAB remotely, so he's already squared off inside the video feed. congratulations to a head-and-shoulders view of some person in tight red and blue, head-to-apparently-toe spandex. as though spandex has any other possible adjective but 'tight'.

still, the same adjective could be applied to the posture, or at least what's visible. it's at least a... loose kind of tight? or something??

anyway, there's the kind of wave you do when you're either about to start a school project, or your great aunt josephine is giving you a thumbs up from afar for whatever weird family reunion cousin sack race you're about to do. ]

Hey everyone!

This is - [ uhh ] - just me. Spider-Man. Just saying, like. I think some people might have had some stuff missing when they evac'd, or whenever they tried to move around, I guess. Or maybe not, I - it's not like I talked to everyone. Either way, like. If you need stuff - your own stuff, please - moved around, or you want someone to keep an eye out for something, or you just need stuff - I can help with that! Or like if you need help getting here to there specifically, or have to move something really heavy, or - now I'm rambling, sorry. If you want help in general. I can't promise everything, but I can promise I'll try. At least, as much as I can.

[ that's what being a superhero is all about anyway, right? he's been slacking since he got here. ]

...........like, not just right now, I mean. All the time. I can be helpful all the time. This was a weird time to do this, wasn't it?

[ the feed cuts off a handful of hurriedly-over-analyzed seconds later. ]

[ he just came out to be a helpful guy and he's honestly feeling so attacked rn ]

You too?
I didn't actually pick out the name
The newspapers gave it to me without asking and now it's there

It's kind of cool though right?

Did you pick out that costume?

[ Tho it is very tight looking, yes. Makes her question why spandex is a thing outside of aerobics classes. ]

And you don't sound like a "man".

[ You sound more like the guys around her age. ]

I made the first one and this one was kind of based on it
But like
Waaaaay better

[ loose clothing and super-human agility don't mix v well. esp when most of your combat is hand-to-hand. most-ish. ]

Well I am [ ~~so there.~~ ] You avoided the question

If you say so.

[ That goes for both, Peter. She has yet to see you in action tho. ]

Which one?

Where are you from that 'you too' isn't rhetorical
I meant the cool part

Maybe you should ask Brutus. And I was referring to the question in your original post, smartass.

And I don't know if it's cool. Standing around in spandex doesn't usually qualify as "cool" but I also don't know how you plan to help people, either.

Technically since he asked that while he was stabbed a million times I'd say that was rhetorical too

Which time?? What

Okay SORT OF fair. I'm used to like. Idk this isn't how I usually try to help but it seemed like it might not be a bad idea until everyone started just honing in on my name

You'd be wrong. He just found out his friend betrayed him. I can't really blame him wanting some kind of an answer when in the process of being murdered. It's not like he was going to be able to ask afterward.

[ You want to debate this, Spider-boi, she will. Don't think she won't. ]

No one knows you here. And that costume is pretty dramatic. Sorry but people are going to focus on that stuff more than anything else.

Okay, but in the process of being murdered via being stabbed a million times, who actually expects to get an answer to a question like that?

[ he doesn't actually want to, it's just that he wrote a paper about this only a month or so ago and he remembers all the shit he researched for it. or thinks he does, anyway. ]

Yyy ok that point's been hammered home by now.

The whole 'no one knows you'

Is the costume that dramatic after the weird stuff we've seen already or is it dramatic in spite of it
Or in comparison

The person being murdered, obviously. I mean, he can't stop what's happening. And Brutus was someone he trusted greatly. Why wouldn't he want to know why this was all happening?

And yeah maybe it could've been rhetorical but it's just as likely to be an actual question that a dying man asks out of desperation of someone that he once considered a dear friend.

[ With how big of a bookworm she is, any chance to discuss this kind of shit is pretty welcome. Even if the other person doesn't agree. ]

Think it's the bright red and blue.
And you never told me what you do to help people. Or why it's "cool" to be Spider-Man.

Idk I feel like once your bff is stabbing you to death your reasonable expectation of explanation is sort of shot since they weren't talking to you abt whatever the problem was in the first place so why should they start now
I'm not saying he wouldn't WNAT to know I'm saying expecting an answer that isn't some kind of crazy bad guy speech is kind of dumb
want*
WANT*

[ yeah this weirdly feels kind of nice, for reasons he can't really. explain. he doesn't even like this subject that much. he doesn't DISlike it, but it's definitely not really his whole deal. ]

Uhh idk random stuff
I stopped a truck from running into a bus
People stealing cars
Directions to lost tourists
There was a fire once! That was
That one was a little harder
Couple cats stuck on rooftops
Muggings
Idk that sort of stuff

That's not what I'm saying at all and you know it.

[ And don't make her fucking laugh over this. ]

I'm sure no one asking that would suddenly expect some James Bond villain monologue before they die. But who's to say it's unreasonable to expect some kind of answer when you're dying at their hand?? I think it's dumb you completely rule that out. People are emotional and complex and Shakespeare understood that better than most in his time. I know if someone close to me was killing me, I would want to know why. Unless you think I could come back as a ghost and get my answer that way?

[ Tho this is all a pointless example when she's a telepath and would be able to pick up on that kind of stuff long before it happened. ]

How did you stop a truck from running into a bus?

[ he'll make her laugh if he damn well feels like it
also if she finds him at all entertaining
it's not actually what he's aiming for rn but it does tend to somehow be a by product of things he says when he's spider-man, so
win-win?? ]

How would I know that
I don't know that

I don't think it's unreasonable to WANT it
And you're right it's not unresasonable to expect it in those circumstances
Unreasonable*
But it's also not like
Unfathomable to assume it's not gonna happen
At that point - esp if it's your former bff - you either know if they're the kind of person who's gonna spill everything last minute bc there's no reason not to, or if they're the kind of person who's gonna like just
Take that stuff to the grave out of spite
Esp since it's not their grave
Idk I've not like, actually read all my assigned reading all the way through but it seems like bad guys either want you to know every little detail or they don't care how much you know as long as you die

[ personal experience?? maybe. actually kind of, but not in serious amounts. ]

With my hands
And like
Arms and stuff
