so uh question

what's on the north end of the station? anybody know? I mean the rest of the place is cool and all but going wherever I want is kind of my whole thing these days and I can't get there which is

weird

or jump between universes anymore

I mean HEY it's not like I want to leave or anything! if whoever's in charge is watching this network which I'm 100% sure they are haha please don't kick me out. just saying, the whole multiverse thing was kind of my ~thing~ and now it's not and it's weird/spooky that they can even take that away to begin with but

yeah anyway

north end of the station is a big ol question mark

also does anybody have some spare yttrium lying around? anyone from the science/phd crowd? maybe some liquid nitrogen? no reason why

weird combination
especially when tacking on an 'no reason why'

[supercollided]

yeah man weird huh

[ probably could've been a bit more subtle, but he's also impatient these days. and/or was hoping there was another kooky quantum physicist knockin' about who had all the goodies already. ]

just wanna run a teeny little experiment, that's all

I mean hey, didn't spend all that time sobbing over the ol phd thesis for nothing, right? plenty of nifty tech in this place that they didn't have back in brooklyn, might as well check it out

[ nah he's totally scoping out mini-collider materials in case he starts running out of holes. shouldn't happen for a while, he's beefed up since that slapfight with Spider-Man, but being Just A Weird Guy again isn't an option on a mission. ]

[reneger]

'teeny'
for a guy with a phd, you're sure lacking the usual ego
you sure you don't want to go on a rant about how the thing you want to experiment with is great, how it will change the world?

[supercollided]

yknow I kinda did that whole deal already and it didn't end well for me

at all

[ spottheme.mp3 playing screechy in the distance ]

not too worried about changing the world anymore honestly. too many out there to worry about just one

you could say I'm more on a journey of self-improvement. really tapping into my potential these days

[ which requires superconductor materials and liquid nitrogen? sketchy. he vaguely realizes how insanely sketchy all of this sounds but just. doesn't care. maybe he's past the point of sounding harmless. ]

[reneger]

and self improvement requires yttrium and liquid nitrogen

( yeah, this guy's extra sketchy. definitely up to something. )

[supercollided]

it does when you're like me.

[ oh no, ominous punctuation. he's dramatic, okay. ]

but hey haha totally here for the orb thing and getting the wish and all. just. so excited to be a team player. that's what's important right

[reneger]

what makes you so special?

( ignoring the second half of that, because clearly this is the bit that's important. not the team player bit. )

text --> video! god i am so sorry in advance he's a mess

[supercollided]

[ YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S just. gonna.

sudden cut to video!! because maybe he's feeling just a little bit more bold after Carver didn't laugh his ass off at him, and also because he's feeling a bit bitter right now, and also because everybody says his powers sound cool so maybe, just maybe this is a place where he's less of a freak and more of an acceptable oddity. maybe they'll even consider him an asset. he can't be normal, but he could be useful, maybe.

so there's his bleached white arm (and just that, he's being careful), and there's an inky black splotch rolling down his shoulder and forearm into his palm like a magic trick, flickering in the moments before he flicks his wrist and tosses it sticky into thin air. ]

Boop.

[ that's the sound he makes when he sticks his hand through it. said hand is on the ceiling now, fingers barely visible until he tilts the feed up a bit to--

THUMP. ]

Ow!

[ yeah no he might've just punched a light fixture by accident? why is literally nothing in his life ever easy these days. Spot yanks his hand back and shakes it out, both portals closing with a vaguely... slurpy sound. gross. ]

Wow that went a lot better in my head. [ embarrassing!! ] You get the idea.
