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.

[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.

[crawler_kid]

Ain't nothin' wrong with being X-Men, Ah always say.

[spideyfanone]

It's pretty neat, I guess. And everyone on the team but me and Mr. Howlett was used to havin' a Xavior around to tell everybody what to do, so it clearly works in most universes.

[crawler_kid]

Mr. Howlett? Don't reckon Ah know who that is.

[spideyfanone]

Now that'd surprise me. Uh, growly man, very Canadian, silly facial hair, claws that go snikt? There's been one of him in every world we've been to, at least.

[crawler_kid]

Huh. Sounds like you're talkin' about Logan. But I ain't never heard him call himself that.

[spideyfanone]

Names are one of the things that wobble between 'verses. Plus it'd be hard to mistake him for anybody else. I do wonder how James Howlett gets to Logan, though.

[crawler_kid]

[She shrugs.]

Beats the heck out of me.

Oh! Ah didn't introduce mahself. Where are mah manners? Ah'm Angela. But everybody just calls me Angel.

[spideyfanone]

Cool. Uh, Kurt Waggoner. Which you maybe know. I'm not totally sure how that's working out.

[crawler_kid]

Close. It's Wagner where Ah'm from. Full on German and all.

[spideyfanone]

Oh. Hmm. Might have been before. My dad's family goes back like a hundred years in New York, and there was a lot of anti-German stuff around the wars.

[crawler_kid]

Daddy's from there directly, pretty much. Mama's from Mississippi, so Ah kinda take after her talkin' wise.

Huh. Real interestin' though, all that.

[spideyfanone]

I'm just impressed that some iteration of me got a girl to talk to him.

[crawler_kid]

[That gets a laugh.]

Please. Daddy's always been real popular with the ladies.

[spideyfanone]

...So once my mom got mad at me for not wanting to go to the sixth grade mixer and told me the worst thing that could happen was a girl could say no. So Lindsey Harvelle set me on fire with a Bunsen burner. ...I maybe shouldn't have asked in Chemistry.

[crawler_kid]

...Well, Ah reckon that might just be one of those times. Ah'm sorry that happened.

[spideyfanone]

Eh, it wasn't as bad as it sounds. It was just my hair. I put it out.

[crawler_kid]

Still, sounds like a rude little cuss, that one.

But Ah'm bettin' there's somebody out there for you, sweetie.

[spideyfanone]

Nah. I'll probably just get a cat.

[crawler_kid]

Well, if that's what you want, Ah reckon that's okay.

[spideyfanone]

It might have to be a robot cat.

[crawler_kid]

*laughs* Ah like your style.

[spideyfanone]

I'm good at robots, and I basically suck at... everything else, but particularly people. It's just practical.

[crawler_kid]

Aw, Ah'm sure you ain't that bad.
