[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.]

It was a bad time. Lots of nightmarescapes and darkness.
no subject
Did that happen when the ship crashed? What happened after that?! The last thing I remember, I was cleaning up the debris that fell across town...
no subject
Everything to real fucky real fast. It sucked.
no subject
[More genuinely:]
I'm sorry I wasn't here to help.
no subject
It's not like you could have, like, controlled it or anything? Sometimes people just- [ a fanning of her fingers here with her hands up for dramatic effect ] -'poof'. Doesn't seem like anyone really gets any say.
Besides, we made it out okay. We're still here, at least. I'm sure you can help on the next mission or something plenty.
no subject
[She's right, though. What could he have possibly done to change the outcome? Zilch, as Aunt May would've said. Being guilty over things you can't change really is a superhero illness.]
I'm glad I'll be able to help, though. I gotta play some serious catch-up, considering how many people have been switched around. So many new faces!
no subject
Honestly? For how little she did during that time to help, she also feels kind of bad but she's making up for it where she can now. ]
There are, yeah! We're a fluctuating little community, really, but at least you got some familiar faces like mine around still.
no subject
[This poor dweeb, tripping over his words.
You know what he means.]
no subject
Ah, well- I am someone who likes it here, at least! I don't mind sticking around for as long as it takes. And maybe even then some, if they'll let me.
[ That she wants to stay is no secret now at least. ]
no subject
There's nothing you'd want to return to, back home?
[More softly asked, curiosity stamped with some concern. It's not that he'd be shocked, because some people have some pretty rough stuff going on back home... he's kind of his own example of that. But he'd still want to at least be there to keep an eye out for his city, and for — for MJ and Ned, even if they can't remember him anymore.]
no subject
Oh, well! Not nothing, exactly, since I do have friends I'd want to see again. It's most just that the choice was kind of made for me? I think if I did go home, I just wouldn't have a lot of time left anyway unless Aurora can fix that so...
Trying to make the most of things here is all!
no subject
[It's a soft, apologetic little noise. It's not the first time he'd heard of someone who had nothing to go back to here, but it still sucks. Sucks every time he has to be reminded that awful things happen to people, and sometimes there's nothing anyone can really do about it.
But he pivots, much like her, towards optimism.]
Well, you're here. Like you said, that's important, to make the most of it here.
And — y'know, this place, it's not so bad! Lots of good people here.
no subject
Yeah! I've met some awesome folks and learned a lot. So, you know, I do mean it- I like it here. I wouldn't mind staying.
I hope I can, like, at least let my friends from home know I'm okay here. Maybe someday.
no subject
Maybe we can ask Aurora about that, sometime.
no subject
Still, it'd be nice. Guess I'll add that to the list of things to discuss with Aurora eventually. Kind of a higher priority than "hey, how about a Spotify player on our network" though.

You got a top 5 artists or bands?
no subject
[ Rosie is, in fact, a Swiftie. ]
no subject
You would have gotten along with Iron Man, then. He was all about AC/DC.
... Not sure if he was ever a Swiftie, though. 50/50 on if he would have admitted it.
no subject
[ Sounds already though like the kind of man who does not need that ego boost though, so for the best he'll never know! ]
AC/DC was one of the first bands I got exposed to though. And with a song titled 'A Whole Lotta Rosie'? Definitely won me over.
no subject
Unfortunately, not a lot of songs use my real name that aren't goofy. [But that is his burden to bear.] I'll have to check out those bands, though; it's important to get into new music, right? Broaden your horizons?
no subject
And it is! Sometimes you end up discovering something you didn't expect and love it that much more, y'know? And if you do end up really liking any of that, I've got plenty more recommendations where that came from.
