Guess What the Mun Saw Today?

[the_amazing]

Dear Mun,

I know, right? I know! It was awesome.

The story, the quipping, the action! I understand why you were so giddy. And hey, it's okay to love the old ones AND this one. New Me might have the tiniest bit of an advantage, what with the snarkiness and jokes, maybe.

...Speaking of funny, I laughed at you wondering why I'd still want to kiss her while seriously injured. Obviously, you are not and have never been a teenage boy.

Thanks for not fangirl-squeeing all over the theater, though. That would've been embarrassing.

[Henry...shall just stare. Staaaaaaaaaaare. Marvel superheroes weren't real. They were comic book characters! Buuuuut, if fairy tale characters were real, than obviously comic book characters had to be too...just let him have this.]

[amon_fire]

Why, thank you.

[the_amazing]

Hey, kiddo.

[Spidey squats down to child eye level.]

You out here all alone? Where's your mom and dad?

[the_amazing]

You're welcome?

Did I miss a step in this conversation?

[definingfuture]

Nothing wrong with your mun expressing her excitement. That seems to be the general feeling lately.

[theboywiththebook]

[Staring...staring...Oh, Spidey is talking to him....WAIT! SPIDEY. IS TALKINNG. TO HIM. Henry will faint mentally as he stares at the super hero.]

Oh well uh....my mom's off at work and I don't have a dad...

[Onto more important things.]

Are you really Spider man?

[the_amazing]

Oh believe me, there was much fangirling both internally and afterward.

I'm just glad she's not angsting over it anymore. A guy can only take so much worrying over "will it be okay? will they screw it up?"

[the_amazing]

You better not stay out here too long, you know. I've been in this place before and some weird people show up a lot.

[He stands up and strikes the pose in the icon.]

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, at your service.

[definingfuture]

Good. You've got fangirls, Pete. That's what they're there for.

Can't really blame them for being nervous. It would be a shame to ruin something amazing--which, rumors say, is what Spider-Man is.

[theboywiththebook]

I'll be okay. But thanks, I'll be careful.

[Yup, it's spider man. Inner fan boy squee, go! They say dogs can hear this frequency.]

That's so cool! Do you...do you think I could get an autograph?

[the_amazing]

Heh, I'm still not entirely used to being liked.

Aw, shucks, Tony. You're making me blush.

[wing_of_night]

Yeah, your mun obviously is a girl. Not that that's a bad thing. But yeah, getting shot at, broken ribs, anything is nothing when you have the prospect of a kiss from a pretty girl.

[definingfuture]

You're liked. Loved, even, by at least two people. And the rest doesn't really matter.

Really? So that's why you went with red instead of something more spidery. [Is that even a word?] Just blends in.

[the_amazing]

Sure thing!

[Bends back down again.]

What's your name?

[the_amazing]

Amen to that.

I just kind of gave her a "duh" look at that one. Hormones, man. Just... hormones.

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry has already pulled out a notebook and a pen.]

My name's Henry, Spider man!

[This is too cool. He could die right now. Actually no. He's done that. Not fun.]

[wing_of_night]

Doesn't hurt when said girl is also wearing a cape and cowl. Not really anything hotter than a redhead doing the whole crime-fighting gig.

[amon_fire]

...

Want to hear a joke?

[the_amazing]

Yeah, you're right. Sometimes, you just have to ignore the haters, or so the kids say.

[Spidery is totally a word. B|]

[the_amazing]

[Always prepared. Good job, kid. Spidey speaks outloud as he writes.]

"To Henry, thanks for being a fan. Your friend, Spider-Man."

[He punctuates with a flourish and hands it back.]

Take care of that now, Henry. No selling it online, okay?

[the_amazing]

Um.

Sure. I can always use another one in my arsenal.

[the_amazing]

Redhead, huh?

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

NOW BACK TO THE POINT AT HAND sorry

[theboywiththebook]

[His life is complete. Now if only super heroes could break curses too...]

[Taking it back, Henry just grins]

Thanks, and I'll keep it safe!

So, does your mun have a game for you yet?

[wing_of_night]

[Awkward head scratch goes here.]

Yeah, you don't want to take dating tips from me. I've only had two serious relationships; one with an alien princess who wound up leaving me at the altar when a demon did... something to her, and one with my on-again-off-again girlfriend whose involvement with me and my mentor got her shot in the back by a homicidal clown, paralyzing her from the waist down.

Seriously, I'm about as lucky with women as my mentor; a billionaire philanthropist playboy who moonlights as a superhero and has yet to get a healthy relationship.

Taking care of the fans comes first

[the_amazing]

Well, I was in a game a long time ago, back on that other website. The mun moved me over here, but nothing's really happened since then.

I keep bugging her about it, but you know how they are.
