USERNAME: parker

( 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. )

no, but i am at least nerd enough to know more than i should about it

( he'd have to have friends to play D&D and what are those? never heard of them )

[devilcomplex]

I'm nerd enough that I didn't have friends to play d&d with.

And I'm blind, I don't think the handbook comes in braille.

[webdesigned]

d&d is so expansive at this point it wouldn't surprise me if they had braille materials. that said this place lacks google for me to prove it.

anyway, silver lining: your entire life is now a d&d campaign, so it was probably good you didn't get bored of it before you got here

[devilcomplex]

silver lining is that i found a friend from where i'm from and some sort of religious future man

so that's fun

are you a star or moon?

[webdesigned]

that's cool. i've found people from my city, not anybody i know though... not that i'm surprised by that

( he knows like 4 people, it really drops your odds... )

er.... are you going to rage out on me if i say the wrong celestial body

[devilcomplex]

what city?

what? no. why would i do that? did someone do that to you?

[webdesigned]

queens. er, well, i'm from queens, but most people are just from nyc straight

what? no. i mean, not yet. i just figured some people might be kinda intense about it, since it's a whole war and everything

[devilcomplex]

hell's kitchen

there can be peace in war. i'm matt.

[webdesigned]

seriously??? what are the chances that so many of us are from the city? it's cool, but also strange... do these cellestial people have a thing for new yorkers or something

( oh no... that seems like this guys actual name... peter feels terrible about his refusal to put his actual name on his very leading post, but he can't. )

cool to meet you, matt. and, um, parker is fine.

[devilcomplex]

maybe it's a certain type of person from nyc

hi, parker.

( Matt's powers of deduction are awesome, remember? Maybe it's a stretch but he knows what type of person he is...

A lawyer. )

[webdesigned]

based on the two of us, nerds? great filler for an army, absolutely

hi. hope you get to live your biggest and brightest dnd dreams, dude. let me know how it goes

( you have deduced NOTHING, murdock holmes!!! he's a closed book, so closed it probably has padlocks on it. so there. )

[devilcomplex]

( Matt knows he and Jessica have something special-- but they're also both from New York. He could have just won the lottery by knowing someone in another dimension. )

Are you being sarcastic or are we best friends now? Am I being sarcastic?

[webdesigned]

( Matty don't get your hopes up that everyone from NYC has superpowers, surely at least SOME of them don't!!! )

i 100% mean that, if you're going to be in this crazy medieval magic world you might as well live the dnd campaigns you never got to play

it's a silver lining. or something

[devilcomplex]

that's strangely sweet of a stranger to say.

[webdesigned]

( what can he say, he's a goddamn delight. actually, no, Peter would never say that. )

hey, as far as i can see it, we all prob need some good energy rn
if i can send out some good vibes, then i will. and i don't know about you, i sorta need reminding that this place has good qualities, too

[devilcomplex]

I think I might need to stand in arm's reach of you, Parker.

[webdesigned]

oh, no no no, i am much better at giving good vibes from extreme distance

( he has Said Too Much so he can't make plans to meet anyone from this post... in fact Peter would rather not meet them because if he does he'll have to pretend he didn't and he's what one would call a terrible liar. )

[devilcomplex]

Fair enough.

What do you do in NY?

(The Grillmaster.)

[webdesigned]

( whew........ crisis averted... maybe, now they're on to personal questions??? )

um. i work at a newspaper. or, worked. i guess.

[devilcomplex]

my friend karen worked for the bulletin.

[webdesigned]

really? wow. there's some good stuff in there, but i don't read it enough to know any of the journalists
