[The young man who appears on screen looks an awful lot like, to those familiar, a spider-themed Kon-El. To those not, it's just some dude in a blue and red spider-themed outfit with floppy, boyband-esque hair.]

Hey there everyone out there. Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Boy here. I seem to have come in not so fashionably late to the party. Figured I see I'd I could get some kind of Cliff's Notes for what's gone on so far.

[As he paces, the background makes it pretty clear he's walking on a ceiling instead of the ground]

Yeah, I know, I can probably just backtrack through everything. Might do that anyways. But a primer would be useful. Heck, I'm willing to settle for an abstract.

So hit me. What do we know beyond what Aurora told us?

Wait, there're adding Spider-Kids to the team now? How many wallcrawlers does it take to protect one burrough?

Re: Text UN: definecat

[arach_kid]

...one? How many other Spider-People do you even know?

[definecat]

Two guys both calling themselves Spider-Man, although one's barely more than a kid. I know there's a Spider-Woman. At least one. Does Black Widow count? I like her and her partner.

[arach_kid]

Okay, either this is an alternate universe thing on top of all the other alternate universe things amready going on, or I need to call my lawyer when I get back home.

Probably the first one if you don't know who I am. My publicist is a lot of things, but bad at his job ain't one of 'em.

[definecat]

I've seen the friendly neighborhood shtick. The OG Spidey and my parent go way back.

[arach_kid]

Huh, go figure. What's your parent like? Maybe I've got a version of 'em back home.

[definecat]

He and his partner like to call themselves a lethal protector. But they usually only really hurt people who had it coming.

[arach_kid]

White skull shirt and blonde hair ringing a bell then? Goin' by the name Castle?

[definecat]

Not that one. Venom's more of a two-for-one deal.

[arach_kid]

...please tell me Venom's not a non-Newtonian organic fluid that can possess bodies.

[definecat]

It's more of a symbiosis thing.

Sorry, I'm still stuck on the 'neighborhood Spider-Boy' bit.

Are you saying they're, like, normal for you? They definitely aren't where I'm from.

[arach_kid]

You mean the friendly, neighborhood? Nah, that's just a fun little thing I call myself. There's only the one of me.

...which, coming from a clone, is actually a little ironic.

[arach_kid]

...okay, so there actually is someone like that back home. Bad news is they're called Bizarnage, and the worse news is that name is entirely earned.

[definecat]

I can't really say I'm surprised. Not all of my kind are particularly well-inclined towards humans and other sentients.

[hasitsthorns]

[ She's trying, honestly, to keep up but this has just caused far more questions than answers. ]

A clone, you- Okay. [ Don't question it! Just focus on the actual question asked originally! ] Anyway, uhm.

There's a lot that Aurora kind of... keeps under wraps, I think? Or isn't, like, readily accessible since it's just stuff people experienced. Like Connor mentioned some weird 100 floors of hell. Gorgug and his friends also talked about weird happenings when we went to Moorecraft. I had no idea this stuff was happening, so- It's really just exploring where you can.

[arach_kid]

The whole being a clone thing probably didn't help any either. Nobody knows better than me how much that can screw with a guy's head.

Unfortunately I showed up too late to smack the idiot who had the bright idea to do it.

[definecat]

On some level, all of my kind could be considered clones. Asexual reproduction is just like that.
