( peter is Uncomfortable doing this. he tried desperately to change his username and nothing in his nerd brain and encyclopedic knowledge of coding languages has offered any respite from part of his name being attached to whatever he wanted to say. which means he has to be careful about what he says...

though, he's gotta ask, because he's gotta know. )


so, uh, quick q

anybody feeling weird? not... quite themselves..... . . . . since they got here

( that's it. short and sweet. hopefully it's vague enough to not indicate anything but still leading enough to possibly result in getting the answers he's hoping for. )

if this is about powers just say that and stop beating around the bush?

[webdesigned]

( play it COOL, parker!!! you've GOT THIS )

no no no, not
who said anything about
i just feel weird, that's all

( he doesn't got this )

[comburst]

that's the most non-specific you could possibly be.

[webdesigned]

it's harder to be specific when i don't know what's wrong

( Peter loves to partner his lies with truth, though this one is leaning more lie than anything else. he knows what is wrong, his powers aren't working right. he doesn't know what is wrong with them, though, that's a fact. )

[comburst]

cut the bullshit, you obviously know what's wrong or you wouldn't be asking this shit.

[webdesigned]

( sTOP CALLING HIM ON hiS LIES!! )

fine, fine, okay. since i got here i can't do things i usually can. clearly i'm not the only one, though i'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse

[comburst]

[ HE WILL NOT ]

ok. have you been trying to use it regularly anyway?

[webdesigned]

hard to use something that isn't working, why?

[comburst]

just keep trying. my shit has been turning on in spurts since i've been trying to use it since we got here.

[webdesigned]

and that works??? seriously?

thanks. i'll... give it a shot

[comburst]

seriously. i've been trying every day and only just now got it working again.

[webdesigned]

( he's gonna look SOOOOO stupid trying to climb walls when his spider powers barely work.... gdi )

okay... okay. i'll give it a shot. somehow that is a far easier solution than i was expecting

[comburst]

[ Please let him see ]

were you expecting to have to dance around naked in the moonlight or something

[webdesigned]

if this place runs on magic, then, i don't know. maybe

gotta say i'm relieved it's not that or some kind of pagan ritual sacrifice, or befriending a fairy or something



...i guess the last wouldn't be so bad

[comburst]

aren't fairies usually really evil in folklore a lot of the time

[webdesigned]

who knows i'm thinking like from those kids movies where they're kinda sassy and mischievous but overall pretty cool

i guess your idea better suits all the other bad options i had

[comburst]

so what's the bullshit you have that isn't working, anyway?

[webdesigned]

look, i know it makes no sense but i really, really can't talk about it

i'm not being dramatic when i say people get hurt every time i do.

[comburst]

that sounds a bit paranoid but okay then?

[ He's not THAT curious. ]

[webdesigned]

maybe. but i'd rather be safe than sorry

[comburst]

obviously none of us can stop you.

[webdesigned]

i gotta say thank god for that, the last thing we need is someone with mind control powers running around

( thats comic book novelty stuff, Peter can't imagine that being real. he's gonna be in for an uncomfortable surprise if he ever meets a psychic. )

look, i know it's stupid. i'm sorry. thanks for trying to help me out anyway.

[comburst]

yeah, people with mind control are annoying.

and sure, whatever. it's not a big deal.

[webdesigned]

you've met somebody with mind control powers???

( that... sounds........ terrible )

[comburst]

yeah. guy in another class. if you answer anything he says, he can control you.
