I just heard something that's completely amazing.

There's a wall in the Greenway park that you can pay to spray-paint. AND!!!!

You can leave a jar out for tips. I want to do something with this, Miles.

From:

idontgetpaid

Aw dude, no way! We gotta check it out after school.

Do you know how much it costs? Because I am totally down for this.

From:

hibana_incursa

It's twenty a person. They're booked for the next week and are holding Sunday for us.

[ She might have already paid for time, Miles. ]

From:

idontgetpaid

[ He's paying you back later. ]

Awesome. I've been itching to put up some art somewhere.

From:

hibana_incursa

[ Eh. She's not too bothered if he does or doesn't. ]

Same. So we're doing this thing, huh?

From:

idontgetpaid

[ Maybe not, but he'll fell bad if he doesn't. ]

Most definitely.

From:

We could make it fun and go in without any kind of a plan. We can put random words in a hat and either draw them out ourselves or if we get a big enough crowd, we can have people take a word out. And we're not allowed to look at what the other person is doing until we're entirely done.

From:

idontgetpaid

Ah, a little improv art, huh? Yeah, that could be pretty fun.

Miles,

I was wondering if you could teach me how to make that dish you mentioned to my sister?

I'd never heard of it before and would love to learn how to make it.

From:

[ It takes him a minute to respond, mostly because he's trying to remember what dish he'd mentioned before. ]

Hey Evie,

You mean pollo guisado? Sure, I can show you how to make it. It's actually pretty easy, and it's like a Puerto Rican comfort food. It's so good.

I HATE THIS STUPID UNIVERSE

Okay, I don't hate it? But like...

How long was I an ice statue? And why is there a new Peter Parker in town? And why do we have three new housemates? THREE

That's a four bedroom house. Why do we have five people there? Did a new bedroom pop up somewhere?

[ Yes. Yes, it did. The attic is now a bedroom. ]

Hi, Miles. I'm feeling better, I guess. I'll be home Saturday. Can you please keep an eye on Miles Purrales? I asked Hawk to bring me my backpack. Alley O'Malley taught Miles Purrales how to hitch rides, i guess.

From:

idontgetpaid

Yeah you were...gone for a while.

[ No he's totally fine what are you talking about ]

I have no idea about the new Peter, honestly, but he came with a bunch of others that suddenly showed up in town when things were really starting to get crazy. That's also when our new housemates showed up.

Also the attic is now a bedroom too.

Yeah don't worry, I'm watching out for him. He and O'Malley have been spending a lot of time hanging around my backpack lately too.

And by hanging around I mean fighting. They keep fighting to be first in my bag when I go somewhere.

I'll definitely pick you up Saturday, but I'm planning on visiting too. You want me to bring you anything else?

From:

hibana_incursa

(look miles a picture!)

[ Yes, she did in fact send this image because they're both in it and she doesn't like it. ]

Sorry for my cat. He gets stubborn when there's something he really wants to do.

Can you bring my sketchpad and pencils? They're in the living room on the coffee table, I think.

Unless your namesake knocked them under the couch again.

Saturday at breakfast. That's what I was told. I'm hopeful my spider-healing kicks in and I can leave sooner, but that's slow going.

[ Rude Gwen why are you calling him out like that ]

Nah, it's cool. Li'l Me just really misses you.

[ He has also missed you. ]

I think I saw most of the pencils. I'll check under the couch to make sure.

Yeah, those Unseen were no joke. I'm still healing too, and my injuries weren't nearly as bad.

You up for a visitor today?

From:

hibana_incursa

[ She called them both out to make it fair. ]

I miss you guys, too.

Miles...has it occurred to you yet that there are Non-spiders in the house? Who don't know who we are?

I'm sure it has. You've been home all this time.

But this sucks. I like them. I've already met Hawk and Sam is cool, too...

But we had free reign in the house and now we have to reel it in so we don't have to explain shoeprints on the ceiling.

[ Not that either of them leave prints anywhere. They're good about cleaning. But, still. ]

From:

idontgetpaid

I know. They're definitely cool and everything, but yeah it's definitely tough pretending to be normal around them. I keep forgetting to put O'Malley's mask away. Plus I never realized that taking the stairs can be so boring.

I did clean the ceilings, though, so we're all good on that front.

From:

hibana_incursa

This is the pits.

[ There’s a moment of silence from Gwen. She’s chewing her lip and tapping her fingers on the nearest surface while she thinks. This really was an intensely awkward situation. Made worse by the fact that Gwen actually likes being around Hawk and Sam. If she didn’t, and if she hadn’t come as far as she did with trying to make friends, she’d just move out. But that’s her home. And she couldn’t abandon her best friend. Instead of continued texting, she calls. It’s better to hear someone be reassuring, right? ]

We’ve dealt with worse. Right? Glitching because I was in the wrong universe was pretty rough. Not to mention literally every fight I’ve ever been in as Ghost Spider.

We got this, Miles.

[ At least she sounds sure of herself. Mostly. ]

From:

idontgetpaid

[ He's a bit surprised when she calls instead of sends another text, but he is definitely relieved to hear her voice. ]

Yeah, definitely. Compared to the reset of this craziness here, this'll be easy.

From:

hibana_incursa

I found him. He’s at home.

Miles, I need your help. Arachnids help.

Later though. Not right now.

[ >mAnd Gwen tells Miles what she learned. About Hawk getting mocked at lunch because of his lip, Derek saying the only reason Gwen was looking was his lip was a train wreck. About them breaking into his gym locker and stealing his bike keys. About the school doing nothing to get them back and about Hawk admitting he lost his shit when he found out the keys were now in the sewers and had taken his anger out Derek. And about how torn up Hawk was when Gwen found him and got him talking. ]

I want to wait until dark to get his keys back. We have to go into the sewers to do so. Which. Gross? But it’s not my first sewer walk.

From:

idontgetpaid

Oh you found him? Good.

[ He's glad Hawk is okay for the most part, but as Gwen explains what happened, he feels his blood boiling. He should have known those guys would be causing more problems since Hawk had kept them from messing with Gwen's statue. ]

Totally gross. But I'm there.

From:

hibana_incursa

I hate these guys, Miles. I’ve never hated someone so much in my life. Felt bad for so many of the villains I’ve fought, but never really hated them.

These morons, though.

From:

idontgetpaid

I know, right? You think these guys would have better things to do with their time than harassing other people.

From:

hibana_incursa

Remember that bug thing that tried to kill us in the sewers?

[ Here, Miles. Have a picture of a small band of them in the desert outside of Haven, somewhere near what looks like a run down sports stadium. ]

So...yeah. Just thought I'd share.

I hate this universe.
