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.

[voice-to-text accidentally activated]
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.

oh so you're to blame for the sirens. Good to know.

Matt Murdock. And I am not paid enough to understand how all the interdimensional/clones/alien babies things work. So instead, favourite type of pizza?

[xp_mayhem]

Since I'm not sure about places here, I'd have to say coal fired with that bit of char and bubble crust, fresh mozz, and the pepperoni that curls as it cooks? Classic for a reason.

[xp_daredevil]

Oh now, that sounds delicious. the charred bits are the best part.

[xp_mayhem]

I like other flavors and styles too, because well. Pizza. But it's hard to fuck up a basic pepperoni, even if you're getting mediocre chain pizza.

[xp_daredevil]

NY has amazing pizza. but I am going to argue that mediocre chain pizza is okay. It is NEVER okay.

Standards are important.

[xp_mayhem]

Sometimes my standard is "I want pizza and all the places I like are closed because it's after midnight."

[xp_daredevil]

does not compute

[xp_mayhem]

Are there places here open all night? I can up my standards. Introduce me to this mythical late-night good pizza that I didn't make myself, please.

[xp_daredevil]

admittedly, this is Westchester and not QUITE the city, but there are ALWAYS options.

The only reason to settle for substandard pizza is if you are drunk.

[xp_mayhem]

I don't think I can get drunk, but I also usually stop at 2 or 3. So I might just have a high tolerance.

Never know when you're going to have to drop things and stop someone from being an asshole.

[xp_daredevil]

Oh, I know all about stopping assholes. It's a common trait around here.

No excuses.

[xp_mayhem]

You're a bossy one.

[xp_daredevil]

always. one of my best qualities.
