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.

Howdy! I'm Kyle, I'm the tall dude with the pointy ears.

... you're... Peter.. Parker's kid?
uh
Well
that's new

[xp_mayhem]

Is there.. another Peter Parker? I guess alternate universe Dad can't be any weirder than waking up at 18 and finding out you're a clone with your twin's memories, so sure.

But yeah, he's uh.. y'know, Dad aged? Late 40s, prosthetic leg courtesy the Green Goblin, works as a forensic scientist for NYPD.

[xp_wildchild]

He's ... I'm pretty sure he's younger than me and I'm like... 30? 31? Lets go with 31. 80% sure he has all his legs, in the normal appropriate amount but to be fair it's been like a while since I swung out with him, and last time we were fighting a fire robot.

[xp_velocidad]

Sorry, so you... don't know your name?

[xp_cypher]

...are we not doing phrasing?

[xp_mayhem]

Younger than 30.. okay, not dad then. And now I've got this burning curiosity to find out how similar our genetics look, but I am not that kind of scientist!

[xp_cypher]

Glad it was a haywire danger sense and nothing more serious. No lasting injury, no foul.

Yep, I'm Doug, who you already met.

Get ready to have your ear talked off about SCIENCE by Clint. He mad he missed all the dimensional stuff while he was in the shower. XD

[xp_wildchild]

He's Spider-Man. It totes makes sense.

[xp_mayhem]

It's mostly a family joke at this point? Like, May and I have all the same memories up until they found me in the labs, and the papers that could've probably solved the Who-Is-The-Clone question got destroyed, so the first several months were pretty rough, because I'd reflexively reply to calls of her name or remember things I wasn't actually present for.

But I go by April, these days.

[xp_mayhem]

Glad to hear I didn't cause any major damage. We'd just finished fighting someone when I got blown through, and it's still acting up. I'm sure it'll calm down as I adjust.

I hear you're the person that's going to get me an identity here AND that you brought my backpack to the medical labs, so thanks for that.

Ugh, particle physics isn't my strong suit, but I do like talking science.

[xp_velocidad]

Oh, you'll fit right in here.

[xp_mayhem]

Wait wait you can keep up while someone is swinging? DUDE. That's so cool.

[xp_mayhem]

Unsure if sarcasm, but thank you?

[xp_velocidad]

I'm easier to read in person. You'll see.

Gabriel, by the way.

[xp_echo]

Buy or make me a burger and we’ll be fine. You fight pretty good.

[xp_mayhem]

I make a mean grilled cheese, but buying anything will have to wait until I have an identity and a.. job, I guess. Damn. Guess I get to put my barista skills to work again.

Thanks, I've had a lot of practice. I swear Queens has more muggers per block than any area should. You're not bad either, that swipe with your baton was pretty fast.

[xp_wildchild]

Kinda. I can hold on real hard and parkour and mostly keep up but also he and Miles were throwing me at the robot sooooooo

[xp_wildchild]

I am not ANY kinda scientist. :) So I got nothing. But yeah, defo not your dad, or AFAIK anyone's dad. Funny dude though.

[xp_mayhem]

Interesting to meet you?

[xp_cypher]

Yeet Mode

[xp_wildchild]

Yeet Mode. Fastball Special. Ms Hayes Olympic Shotput Tryout. Everyone has a different name for it.

[xp_cypher]

I'm gonna need to make a mcfuckin chart of alt-universe kids at this rate.

[xp_mayhem]

Still cool. Being thrown at a robot? This place is wild.

[xp_daredevil]

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_blink]

All I got from this is that you need a new wardrobe, so we should go shopping tomorrow.

I'm Clarice. Where do you like to shop? We can go anywhere.
