He's having a mild existential crisis as mun debates various games. Don't mind him.

[spideyfanone]

 So I'm glad you want to send me places, mun, and if some of those places are weird, I've been to Cthulu universe and cowboy universe and witch-king world and there was that time we fought a space-whale... I can deal with new and weird. And I wish the team was there, but I'm sure I can get along. Turns out I'm pretty good at ingratiating myself with adults, so as long as I can avoid people my age...

But I'm dead. You remember that, right? I died? Saving the multiverse? All of everything? It was my call and it was scary, but it was pretty final. I just... I wanna know what this means? I did kinda think I might see my parents again, if I deserved to. I can't say I was totally sure about this heaven stuff when I actually got to go to church, but I'm better at believing stuff now, and... Well, like, haveing an extra life is kinda scary. And what happens to me at these places? If I ever leave them am I just dead again? 

Kinda breaking my brain here. Jerk. I'll try it, but how am I supposed to enjoy a place if it's just, like... some kinda purgatory? Don't ask me. You're the one raised Catholic. You had to google what Presbyterian even means, specifically. Anyway. Tangent. This is pretty weird, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable.

And why the crazy steampunk prison world again? Don't you think I deserve a break? Sure, send me somewhere scary and awful again. That'll be great. And I am suspicious of this fun giant turtle. Giant turtle sounds fun and all, but there was that time with the unicorns and cupcakes that were actually alien bugs, and... Nevermind. Don't care anymore.

...But can you try to give me somewhere where Spider-Man already is? Because that'd be boss. 

Comments

finally, someone I can tag with this character!

[bohemianyears]

Purgatory's not so bad, if you believe Dante. ...I don't, of course.

[Not that she believes in God at all, because this is (a version of) Emma Frost we're talking about.]

Huzzah! Now we just need the rest of the team.

[spideyfanone]

[Ooh, a familiar face! Admittedly, one who he always figured found him kind of annoying. Fairly enough.]

I only read the Inferno one. Everything after that was really boring.

#things that will never happen

[bohemianyears]

[She finds everyone annoying.]

That's what everyone does, dear, with the possible exception of Henry McCoy. Paradiso is better for sleepless nights than laudanum.

I've heard suggestions of a Howlett, but he would be hard without a Herc.

[spideyfanone]

Oh, well, that's good. I didn't miss anything cool at the end then, right?

[arach_nerd]

Ohmygod it's a tiny American Kurt.

[spideyfanone]

[Embarrassing fanboy freakout... Now.]

Uh... Uh. Yeah. Hi.

[arach_nerd]

Heya. So is there a reason you wanna be at a game with me?

[spideyfanone]

[He's found his voice and now he will babble. Sorry.]

Well, uh, kinda just... Wanted to meet you and stuff, 'cus, well, in my world--My home universe, I mean, um, because I've been to a lot of them now, but the one where I started, you were like, way the coolest superhero, and, um...

[In a desperate attempt to make himself stop sounding like an idiot, he holds up a cheap tin lunchbox, much battered and a bit stained with what's hopefully rust, and printed with the iconic spidey mask.]

I held onto this from home.

[Maybe he'll remember words again someday.]

[arach_nerd]

...they still make metal lunchboxes in your universe?

[No, really, that's the weirdest thing here]

[spideyfanone]

...They were kind of a retro thing.

[And now he looks like not only a dork but a miniature hipster, huzzah.]

[crawler_kid]

[Have a girl who looks something like you, Kurt.]

...Did somebody put mah Daddy in the dryer?

[spideyfanone]

[Blink. Blink.]

Man, the multiverse is weird. 'Cus I've gotten to thinking of myself as kinda a multiversal anomaly, so...

[crawler_kid]

An anomaly? Why's that?

[spideyfanone]

I've been in a whole bunch of universes, and random walk theory coupled with mission perimeters is a pretty okay explanation for the way we ran into our own doubles all the time. I've met two or three of everybody on the team, a whole lot more than that of some, and like a hundred people went through the Savior Machine with me. I only ever met one other me. I guess I'm kinda rare.

[crawler_kid]

You been travelin' the multiverse? Small worlds. I got me a half-sister like that.

[spideyfanone]

Huh, yeah, wouldn't have guessed that was a job a lot of people had.

[crawler_kid]

Yeah. Used to be a whole team of 'em, callin' themselves the Exiles.

[spideyfanone]

That's pretty cool. I don't think we got a special team name. We were just X-men, I think? Even though half of us came from worlds without those, me included. I just kinda nod.

[featheredxman]

Okay, I know that me an' Drake have been in a prank war, but did Hank break out some shrinking ray and zap you instead of us? [Because really Hank must have one of those in his lab right?]

[spideyfanone]

[Sigh.]

Eventually I'm gonna get tired of the short jokes. And apparently I need to just bring helpful infographics about the multiverse with me everywhere.

[featheredxman]

Aw but you're actually cuter than Elf. [Hey his Kurt's started calling him worse, but could be because he talked Scott into letting Creed on campus all because of Jubes.]

[spideyfanone]

[His eyes narrow slightly. He's never been good at being teased.]

Yeah, the plushie Satan look is real in.

[featheredxman]

[He gets the point no teasing the fuzzy.]

Beats the whole guardian angel look. At least you don't get kids pulling at feathers to see if their real.

[spideyfanone]

No, I have a tail and fur instead. Though when they're really annoying I can usually scare 'em off.

[featheredxman]

See I don't even get that. Damn Halmark. [Because you know valentine cards with all their cute cuddly cherubs. The winged one here is curseded.]
