Chapter 2: Johnny Beach Goode Part 3 (Daily Life)

Citizens Remaining: 15

I knocked on the door two rooms away from my own and Miles answered it.

"What's up, Ai?"

"Do you want to hang out for a bit?"

"Sure, I have nothing to do right now. You want to listen to some music? I know you're a singer so I thought you might enjoy some of these songs."

I nodded my head and I made my way into his room. His mask and suit was hanging in the closet and the containers for his webs were on his desk. I sat down on the bed and he gave me his pair of headphones. I listened to some R&B and dream pop, the music sounded wonderful and the lyrics flowed well with the songs.

It looks like Miles and I grew a little closer.

"So I was meaning to ask you, that 'web' you shoot out of your wrist, how does that work?" I asked him as he got up and grabbed the containers.

"Oh, these are my web shooters. I was given them by the previous Spider-Man's aunt. I just click the button like this, then it fires the web!" He demonstrated by shooting a spot on the wall making a spider web pattern.

"Impressive, do you actually know what it's made of?"

"Not exactly, but I knew my predecessor came up with the formula on his own. Also that it dissolves after an hour."

"This other Spider-Man must have been quite intelligent to make such an impressive fluid." I thought to myself, "Hm, you're the Ultimate Successor, correct?"

"Yeah, I am. Weird title to give me though."

"Not the strangest one out of all of us.", I smiled before getting back to my question, "Anyways, did the previous Spider-Man retire and give you this role?"

He looked surprised for a bit before looking down at his untied shoes, "Well he uh... got killed in battle."

I suddenly felt guilt for even asking that question, "Oh, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any past memories."

"No no, it's okay. It's been a while since then, you don't have to worry." He gave a reassuring smile.

"Alright, I'll try not to ask such personal questions without consent."

It was quiet for a bit until he suddenly jolted up.

"Shoot! I forgot! I'll see you later Ai, Alice asked me to carry supplies for the party!"

He grabbed his web shooters and ran out the door. After organizing everything the way it was, I promptly left. I should try bringing up other things the next time we talk, when I brought up his predecessor he looked a bit down for a moment.

After resting in my room for a bit I saw that there was a lot more time until nighttime, I can't accomplish anything by staying still.

Walking over to Jabberwock Coast I spotted Shantae practicing her belly dancing on the stage. It's been a while since I've done any idol work, so I should try to loosen my joints...and hopefully my limbs won't fall off. I joined up with her and we practiced, until she was out of breath.

It looks like Shantae and I grew a little closer.

"I really hope this party raises everyone's spirits! We need to work together to make it out of here!" She panted.

"Agreed. Although it is difficult, considering what we went through literally yesterday..."

"Oh yeah... that was yesterday... we really need to pull this off then. A lot of us have been on edge as of late, like Gold earlier." She switched from sad, to determined, quickly.
