Sorry for such a long wait, but I have an excuse! I recently got a new, pretty intense job working for law enforcement and public safety, and it's been a lot to deal with and I've been very stressed out and busy, and thus not able to write. I hope random updates are still enjoyable! I hope the longer chapter makes up for it a bit.
The video opens to Peter and MJ sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Hey guys, welcome back to the Ironfam!" Peter says brightly. "Today I'm only here with MJ, because Harley and Mackenzie decided they wanted to go off on a road trip for the week, Ned's mom is sick so he's staying with her to help her out, and Emma's visiting her aunt in California. So MJ and I have had the house to ourselves!"
MJ snorts. Peter gives her a curious look, before rolling his eyes.
"Oh my god, not like that," he says. "Get your mind out of the gutter, woman."

"So," Peter picks up. "Mom, Dad, Mo, and the twins are all spending the week at the lakeside cabin Dad bought over the summer. So MJ and I decided it would be fun to sneak up there and see how long we can live there too, undetected."
"Before any of you come at us about FRIDAY," MJ adds. "FRIDAY hasn't been added to the cabin yet. Pepper wanted a week at a normal little house, before Tony turned it all high-tech."
"There are regular security cameras, and an alarm system," Peter says. "But fortunately, I was there when they first went up there and got settled in, so I was able to get a look at where all these cameras are and where their blind spots are."

Peter and MJ are sitting in a car in a wooded area. MJ is behind the wheel.
"Alright," Peter says quietly. "We're down the road from the cabin, parked in like a little rest area. We have to walk like 20 minutes to get to the cabin, but we didn't want anyone to see the car and realize we're here."
"We both brought a duffel bag, because we intend to live undetected as long as we can and also because we're staying for the rest of the week once we get caught," MJ adds. "So it'll be fun walking down an unfamiliar road in the dark for 20 minutes dragging luggage with us. Don't do what we do, kids, this is actually a very unsafe thing to do."
"That's true," Peter nods, giving the camera a stern look. "Just because we do stupid things doesn't mean you should, too."

Neither have moved.
"So the cabin has a ground floor that's got a kitchen, living room, dining room, and office area," Peter explains. "Then there's the second floor that has Morgan's room, the twins's room, Mom and Dad's room, and a room for me, and one for Harley, since we lived with them before we moved out. In the basement there's a little kitchenette area, a living space, and like three guest rooms. Nobody ever goes down there, so that's how we're getting in."
"The basement has its own entrance," MJ says. "But there's a camera right on that one, so we gotta find a different way to get in. Which is gonna be hard, because everyone's in there right now."
"There's a couple blind spots for the cameras that would let us get up onto the roof, outside windows on the second story," Peter says. "And then there's enough blind spots to get us to my bedroom window, and then we just gotta get through the inside without getting caught."
"And for anyone thinking of trying this to break into the cabin themselves for more nefarious reasons," MJ says threateningly, "Remember that Tony is adding FRIDAY to the cabin when they leave, which will be before this video goes up and will make it impossible to sneak in because FRIDAY sees everything."
