[The easiest introduction in the world! Being that it's a, uh, re-introduction. Peter Parker Spider-Man has already confirmed he'd vanished for months — which is totally crazy, because he feels like he hasn't been gone all that long — but here he is! In all of his 'confused but has spirit' energy that had gotten him through his time in Etraya before.]

Hey guys, I'm back!

Just gone long enough to apply to, like, fifty barista and pizza guy jobs back home.

... Swinging around doesn't pay rent, y'know.

What'd I miss?

[He's perched on his tippy-toes, on top of one of the tallest buildings in Etraya.

As you do.]

[... Huh.

Mumbling to himself:]

... Like Jurassic Park, but only 4,000 years ago...

[Sorry, what was that?]

[bigpoofymammoth]

[Kid, you’re still on video and Manny can clearly hear you just fine.]

What do you mean by "Jurassic Park"?

[keepitgoing]

Oh, nothing. Totally talking to myself, so...

Sorry, I'm Spider-Man. Who're you?

[And how do you talk without the proper vocal cords?

... Did Woolly Mammoths have vocal cords? This is a win for archaeologists.]

[bigpoofymammoth]

I'm Manfred, but my friends back home call me Manny. I arrived here some time after you left.

[keepitgoing]

[Man...fred... he's got a normal name. That's wild.]

Well, uh...! Welcome to Etraya! Belatedly.

It must be a weird change of pace for you, huh?

[Talking animals isn't that crazy. He saw a talking racoon in passing once.]

[bigpoofymammoth]

[If that’s wild, imagine the surprise he'd have to the names of the other creatures back in his home universe.]

Yeah, I never thought that I'll be caught up in something like this. Yet, here we are.

[keepitgoing]

Surprises are the spice of life, right?

That way, you never get bored.

[JUST SOMETHING HE TELLS HIMSELF TO GET BY T B H.]

[bigpoofymammoth]

That really depends on the kind of surprises that pops up once in a while.

[keepitgoing]

Can't argue with that. How've the surprises been so far?

[bigpoofymammoth]

A bit of a mixed bag for me. On one hand, there’s been some pleasant surprises like the whole thing about receiving painted eggs that hatches into a randomised companion that we can keep. And on the other hand, there’s things like ghosts masquerading as our loved ones and monsters kidnapping people with giant sacks and throwing them into cages.

[keepitgoing]

... Oh, jeez.

Sounds like I missed some pretty nasty stuff.

[bigpoofymammoth]

Yeah, you certainly did. But I imagine it won’t be long before this place throws another one at us.
