On being canon updated at a, uh, really interesting time.

[crockblocking]

So, you pick now of all times to do this? Seriously? Anyone ever tell you that your timing sucks?

Because it really does.

Comments

Indeed he does.

[crockblocking]

Yeah. It might've been a heck of a party if they did join in, though.

Oh, I dunno if that'll work, this time since it's usually the teacher who'd give out gold stars. Could work under different circumstances, though.

[wallcrawler]

Guess it was worth a shot.

But if busting me back down to the kiddy pool turns out to be your way of trying to get me into a regular swimsuit, it's not happening. I don't think they make trunks that match my mask.

[crockblocking]

Can't knock you for trying, though.

Oh, darn. My secret plans have been foiled. You keep the mask on for everything?

[wallcrawler]

Well, it is called a secret identity. I dunno how willing you are to take your mask off, but I don't even let family know I'm doing this.

[crockblocking]

Yeah, yeah, I know about the whole secret identity deal.

[Believe her, Spidey. She knows all about secrets--I mean uh...]

So is there a chance I'll run into you without the costume and never know it?

[wallcrawler]

Probably.

Heck, you might have already- I'm really good at not being noticed without the suit on.

[crockblocking]

Apparently. I run into a lot of people on a daily basis and can't say anyone stood out to me here recently.

[wallcrawler]

Makes you feel any better, even my boss hasn't figured it out yet. And he has a creepy level of obsessive hatred for the costumed me.

[crockblocking]

Heh, how ironic. Does he dislike...you, too? Or is the Spider-man part exclusive?

[wallcrawler]

It's kind of an exclusive hatred. Unless I'm even a few seconds late, anyway, but that's the same with everybody who works for him. I don't even wanna think about how high that guy's blood pressure must be.

[crockblocking]

Maybe it's the costume he hates.







Unless you ruined his coffee and he's holding a grudge. [That may or may not be a grin.]

[wallcrawler]

It's because I wear a mask. Far as he's concerned, anyone wearing a mask must be a bad guy. Or girl, in your case.

Come to think of it, he'd probably hate you too.

[crockblocking]

Well, to hear you tell it, the feeling might be mutual.

Never mind trying to make the town a better place or anything.

[wallcrawler]

Tell me about it. I even saved the guy twice. Either third time's the charm, or he's really testing my charitable spirit.

You are making me ship this more and more. Please stop lmao

[crockblocking]

And he still hates you? I'm beginning to think the bit I mentioned about coffee was right.

NEVER! /o/

[wallcrawler]

As much as ever.

And I did not mess up his coffee! What is it with you and coffee, anyway?

He's got an intern to handle that. Or his secretary, but she's usually busy doing actual work.

[Not that he's biased or anything, you understand. It just seems like while JJ's yelling, Betty keeps things running smoothly.]

HOW DARE YOU!!!

[crockblocking]

Sure you didn't. Coffee is important. You know how many people would go crazy if you messed theirs up? [Actually, Artemis doesn't know either.]

Jokes aside, he really does sound like a piece of work. Maybe it's bothering him that he doesn't know your identity.

I DARE! I'm a darer, I dare things.

[wallcrawler]

It definitely is. Nothing'd make him happier than to see me get thrown in jail for vigilantism.

Or any crime, really. Guy was practically jumping with joy every time some crook decided to play dress-up and frame me for something.

/shock and amazement

[crockblocking]

Kind of a shame. Makes me wonder if there's anyone out there that feels the same way about the League, even if their main goal is to help people.

[Except, like, half the League does not even wear masks.]

[wallcrawler]

Probably.

And hey, five bucks says they're also conspiracy nuts who think superheroes are secretly plotting to create a New World Order or something. I mean, why else would they unionize?

[Not that Spidey's got any first-hand experience with that yet, being a solo act and all.]

[crockblocking]

Pass. If I took you up on that bet and said there aren't any, I'd probably be out of five bucks.

[wallcrawler]

Sheesh, where's your adventurous spirit? Besides, not like any bets made here carry over into the Magic School Bus logic-defying space ship we call home.

[crockblocking]

I prance around in tights and kick villains in the face on a weekly basis. I think I'm adventurous enough. Besides, on the ship or not, losing a bet still blows.

[wallcrawler]

Y'know, I never really figured you for the prancing type. Now I'm just gonna have to get all naggy until you get your inner Sugarplum Fairy on.

[He sounds like he's kidding. Mostly. Probably.]

[crockblocking]

Hate to break it to you, but I don't have an inner Sugarplum Fairy. Never have, and never will.
