@SPDR-MAN， [GOOD? NO(?)——NO! NOT GOOD! STAY CALM, ASSESS SITUATION FIRST, (AND MAYBE DON’T?) PANIC LATER—BABYSITTING SPIDEY DUTIES ACTIVATED.] ... how many fingers am i holding up?
OMNI1M4N
OMNI-MAN :
you’re fast. i’m just faster.

@OMNI1M4N， “i won’t.” [A SWITCH—NOW HER VOICE WAS FIRM, CONTROLLED, SERIOUS, LEAVING NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT. WITH THE SMALL, CONFIDENT SMILE STILL REMAINING ON HER LIPS, STUBBORN AND TEASING, EVEN AS SHE PLANTED A HAND ON HER HIP; STANCE SOLID AND UNYIELDING.] “because i'll win. simple as that, really——” [SHE TILTED HER HEAD SLIGHTLY, THINKING—] “oh! and don't think you'll get a say in that either. it'll only be fair that way since you won this time, don't you think? i would hate for you to embarrass me twice.”
OMNI1M4N
* his expression barely changes, but there’s a faint spark of interest in his eyes at her stubborn pride. he inclines his head just enough to acknowledge the concession, gaze steady on her face. * comfortable isn’t in my nature, * he replies quietly, tone even, almost bored. * you were distracted. that happens. * a pause, then a subtle, challenging tilt of his chin. * my point still stands. next time, don’t give me the chance.

@OMNI1M4N， “bold of you to assume i'll allow that to happen twice.” [SHE SAID FIRST, VOICE SOFTENING MORE WITH TEASE ON HER TONGUE. IT WAS SMALL, BUT NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO BE SEEN AS A SMILE TUGS AT THE CORNERS OF HER LIPS. ONLY THEN SHE STIFLED A BRIEF, ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE LAUGH. AT LEAST DESPITE THE LOST TO HER NAME, SHE WAS STILL FAIRLY ENTERTAINED... JUST A LITTLE!] “so you say that the next time i challenge you, you won't deny me?” [THERE WAS A SPARK IN HER EYES NOW, THE SLIGHTEST LIFT TO HER BROWS, PERKING WITH MORE INTEREST THAN BEFORE.] “it took me quite a few times just today to convince you, —don't think i'll forget that, next time won't be so easy on you.”

* if you see me switching from theme to theme.... ignore it.
greengoree
you came here solo or waiting for someone?
arachnd
@greengoree， “if i was waiting on backup, you’d know.. loudly.” [A SIGH——LONG, TIRED, THE KIND THAT CAME FROM SOMEONE WHO’D LIVED THIS EXACT HEADACHE MORE THAN ONCE. NOT SO MUCH FUN BEING THE ON DUTY BABYSITTER.] “i'm looking for a friend— ..another spidey actually, which means he’s either hiding, stuck, or about to do something incredibly stupid. have you seen him?”
HalfOfDawn-
Deadpool popped up from behind the couch like a cursed jack-in-the-box.
“DON’T panic. I live here now. Temporarily. Maybe.”
He flopped forward onto the cushions without waiting for permission, kicking his boots up onto the armrest like he paid rent.
“Long story short: I needed a SAFE house, I flipped a coin, and your place won. Congratulations, you’re now part of the witness protection program for IDIOTS.”
He glanced around, nodding approvingly at the room. Too approvingly.
“Nice setup, by the way. Very ‘I didn’t expect a masked mercenary to INVADE my personal space’ chic. Cozy. Ten outta ten. Would absolutely hide from several crime syndicates here again.”
A beat. Then, softer, conspiratorial:
“Also, if anyone asks, we’ve been roommates for years. We argue about the thermostat, you HATE my music, and I DEFINITELY ate your last snack. That part is non-negotiable.”

@MerccWithAMouth- ， [EVERYTHING WENT SIDEWAYS IN A BLINK. THE HALF ARACHNID DIDN’T EVEN REGISTER THE SOUND FIRST——SPIDEY SENSES FLARED INSTEAD. SHARP, SCREAMING ‘BEHIND YOU!’ BEFORE HER BRAIN COULD CATCH UP. HER BODY MOVED ON REFLEX ALONE.] “oh—kay...” [SHE MUTTERED, SLOWLY STRAIGHTENING HER TENSE POSTURE, HEART STILL POUNDING.] “so my danger sense goes DEFCON one, i almost /considered/ taking your head off for a split second, and you respond by... claiming squatters’ rights?” [SILENCE. SU-KI JUST, STARED AT HIM. BLINK. ANOTHER BLINK. HER MOUTH OPENED—CLOSED. SHE GLANCED AT THE COUCH. BACK AT HIM. AT THE BOOTS. AT THE FACT THAT HE WAS ALREADY COMFORTABLE. CLEARLY, AN ANSWER WAS ALREADY DECIDED BEFORE HER CONSCIOUS COULD SETTLE A DEBATE.] “i can't tell if today just happen to be your lucky day, or if you're just.. —stupid(?), to put it nicely, of course.”

[S͟P͟I͟D͟E͟R͟V͟E͟R͟S͟E D͟A͟T͟A͟B͟A͟S͟E]
DESIGNATION: EARTH–0199.SU
STATUS: UNSTABLE / MONITORED
CLASSIFICATION: HYBRID-TECH ANOMALY
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
THE AIR ON EARTH-0199.SU ALWAYS FEELS A SECOND BEHIND ITSELF. NEON LIGHT LINGERS TOO LONG ON RAIN-SLICK STREETS, REFLECTIONS WAVERING AS THOUGH UNSURE WHICH VERSION OF THE CITY THEY BELONG TO. SCREENS GLOW EVEN WHEN POWERED DOWN, THEIR GLASS FAINTLY WARM, HUMMING WITH SOMETHING JUST BENEATH SILENCE. PEOPLE MOVE WITH PURPOSE, BUT THEIR SHADOWS HESITATE, STRETCHING IN DIRECTIONS THEY NEVER CHOSE. THE WORLD DOES NOT FEEL BROKEN—ONLY WATCHED, AS IF REALITY IS HOLDING ITS BREATH.
