hey, so, full disclosure: this is super weird for me. i've never done this before. like, classically when i tell people bad stuff happens so i sorta don't tell anyone, but uh, here goes:

so i've got... superpowers. it feels like?? that's not that big a deal around here. some people are like 9 ft tall and can do magic (???) and have full robotic wings so it's just nbd but also for me it kinda is a big deal so it's a little scary to be upfront about this but i super duper did just liveblog my spider wall-crawling to the entire team during the last mission pandora's box is way open so yeah i have superpowers

( and apparently he's no better at trying to send brain messages, RIP friendos, his brain is just Like This )

but anyway, uh... since there are a lot of us, maybe if you wanna, we can... share??? nothing more than you are comfortable with, obviously, and trust me if you wanna hang back and stay quiet i get it. back home, i can't share this stuff. it gets people hurt. i was just thinking here, maybe... and since there's a ton of you like me or not even like me but different too, i don't know. maybe it'd be good for us to know who can do what? what we're all capable of? things we should look out for?

i guess i should go first. i, uh... can crawl on walls. everybody saw that (SIDEBAR that is my bad for that shaky camera work if i gave you motion sickness i am so so so sorry). i'm pretty strong too. and maybe be careful trying to touch me or throw things at me bc my senses make me react if it seems like a threat and i'm not super good at turning it off. i'm trying though. i have webslingers too, for flyin around?? so that's cool

uh... that's it? ama? i'll try and answer... or you can tell me anything, if you wanna talk shop. if you wanna keep things dl, private works. trust that i get it, this feels so viscerally uncomfortable, like those went to school in ur underwear dreams, only i really did it, holy snickerdoodle, i really hope this does not blow up in my face

man am I just putting really awful things into your brain right now? I should stop. I could stop.

I might stop.

is gonna graduate - now consider that I met him like... 3 years ago. Well, almost 8 technically, but we don't talk about losing 5 years to the Blip. unless you wanna have some more worrisome shit in your head.

or did you have a Blip in your universe too?

[webdesigned]

i feel like i'm doing one of those math problems where you're jumping through all sorts of equations to figure out somebody's brother's age

( almost graduated + 5 - 8 years = less than or equal to 19??? this is so confusing... )

no. but pq told me about it. not lots of details but like... i don't think i'd need a lot of details when half the population would have disappeared
how do you... reverse??? something like that? don't get me wrong, glad you did, but it's almost hard to conceptualize

[unclesam]

yeah, I'm having way too much fun with this. kid's turning 18 this year. so as I said, he's like 12. and technically he should turn 23 this year, but again - kid lost 5 years.

does it help if I say that all the dead people were brought back with magic space stones? is that better or worse than what I've hit you with so far?

[webdesigned]

turning 18 is basically 12? i'm basically 13 then, for your reference.

worse. super worse. it's fine though, i held an angry rock in my hand a couple days ago, so my horizons are being forcibly widened every day i'm here.

[unclesam]

oh good. so you can go into the basket of 5 year olds, then.

the angry rock sure is something, huh. not that far off from weird space gems that hold reality stitched together, to be honest.

c'mon man you're not that grandpa status that anyone under 20 should seem 5

( because everyone loves being referred to as "grandpa status", even if it's not full grandpa. )

the... infinity things? yeah, pq told me about those too. the similarities are not lost on me as far as assembling world destroying power all in one place is concerned. really hope collecting them doesn't turn out to be an entirely terrible idea

[unclesam]

I'm sorry, spiderling, are you sassing my age? now that's just rude.

[ Only Sam is allowed to do that. Obviously. ]

oh I fully expect this will turn out to be a real terrible idea. I mean, we're talking deals we literally made in our sleep here.

[webdesigned]

me, sass? never. no. not once

( read: yes. definitely. )

i guess the silver lining to collecting these crazy powerful things is that we're protecting worlds that can't handle containing them? that's not the greatest silver lining ever, but uh, better than not having one at all
