introduction

[xp_mayhem]

Sorry for setting off those alarms yesterday, especially if you are also part of the population with ears that are particularly sensitive to high, loud noises. Like alarms. Or klaxons.

Oh and uh.. sorry for the misunderstanding, Doug? And the women with you? My danger sense was a little haywire after being blown through the portal.

So.. I’m April. Or maybe I’m May. We never could figure out which was which.

Wait, no, you can tell the story better than that. Introduce yourself to these strangers properly, self.
Once upon a time, in a dimension seemingly similar to yet very different from your own..
Ugh. Okay, no, that's. You're being ridiculous April, stop, May's gonna bust her gut if she ever sees this.
Wait--is that the.. has the voice mode--
[voice-to-text abruptly cuts off]

ANYWAY.

In the dimension I'm from I’m known as April Parker, the twin/genetic clone/cousin of May Parker (depending on who you ask), daughter/niece of Peter and Mary Jane Parker. Here? I guess I'm just your friendly stranded dimensional traveler spider-girl?

That was a wild one to write. I didn't study the right science for this sort of thing.

So yeah. I'm here for the foreseeable future. In the great style of my favorite website for cute pets and getting to know new people, ask me anything? I reserve the right to tell you to pound sand if it's particularly rude or crude.

Hi April! (I'm just going to call you April if that's OK. I don't know much about science but I've seen my fair share of alt dimensions.) You can call me Megan or Pixie. I see my boss already asked you about your preferred pizza. What's your ideal coffee or tea?

[xp_mayhem]

April's fine! For coffee I like to mix good drinking chocolate with coffee that's been brewed with cinnamon, then a few splashes of milk and a good stir. Regular hot chocolate or syrup can work in a pinch, but drinking chocolate is smoother and a little decadent.

I've only had it a few times because it's fairly expensive, but my favorite tea is probably a silver needles white tea. It's very bright delicate. Favorite everyday tea is probably an oolong milk tea?

Ooh, I will have to give these a try. Lately I enjoy a chai tea latte - the cardamon and cinnamon fill me with holiday warmth. Normally I drink herbal teas because if I forget and let them steep too long it doesn't ruin the flavor. I tend to be a bit absent-minded. I would guess your beverage choices are of someone with a very precise and attentive nature?

[xp_mayhem]

A nice chai latte is a solid choice. I usually keep the herbals for bedtime, if anything.

Mostly just several years as a barista. I took some time off before college to get to know myself as a person, and Dad's always been keen on us having some level of personal responsibility. Not wrong about the nature though, I can be pretty impatient, but you have to have good attention to detail when you're working on an engine.
