So.. I kinda want to do some exploring because I haven't done a whole lot..

[ Right now, he's kind of hanging out in the diner because where else is there for him to hang out? ]


But before I do that-someone told me about a Spider repellent and uh.. for reasons unrelated, I'm kinda allergic to like mint and lavender so I kinda need to know what's in it? You know, because of potential allergies?


So I guess I'm kinda wondering where is the Spider Repellent so I can avoid it? I know about the warehouse but is it anywhere else? Oh! And if someone wants to come with me? That'd be cool.

You're as subtle as a brick wall.

[You can't send that message from inside the diner where Tommy has already brought you a plate of food, and not expect him to come back out of the kitchen where he's literally STRESS DEHYDRATING food, and not expect him to come out to talk about something to distract him from his woes.

You can't.]

Spidey could be kept away from villains with bug spray, is that what you're saying?

[He looks half amused]

There isn't a where on the repellent most of the time. I used to make it for this elf chick. I whip up a batch once every two months and put it around the doors and broken windows of the warehouse they use, to keep them inside.

[ he sets the communicator down on table as Tommy approaches and offers a small shrug. ]

I don’t really know. To my knowledge no ones tried to spray me with bug spray but May’s anti-stress lavender candle had me break out in hives so that’s a no go.

Uh.. if you make it then can I ask what’s in it? The repellent, I mean.

[text]

[hashtagparkerluck]

I don’t. I mean I’m not anti-spider just allergic to some of the same stuff that’s used as spider repellent so I’d like to know what in it so I don’t uh..

You know.

Die.

[in_extremis]

Something tells me that's not going to be much of a problem out here.

[doubled_speed]

Some plants I haven't bothered to name, mixed with one of the weird alien mints. Remind me to make little signs with foods, so you know which ones not to mess with. Also, you shouldn't interact with the glownies. We keep mint for snacks for them. They love the stuff.

[hashtagparkerluck]

oh

okay, that's good.

good to know.

thanks.

[ how obvious is it that Peter really has no idea how to interact with Tony Stark? He's hoping it's not too obvious. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ he just offers a nod and then frowns at the mention of the glownies. ]

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. And I'm guess the alien mint is just as a... strong as the mint back home since it works in the repellent.

...I'm not gonna accidentally come across one of those unnamed plants am I? Because that would be just my luck.

[doubled_speed]

Not if you stay out of the green house, man. If you ever need to go in, you take the Ag point temporarily. When you look at plants you'll know what they are and what they're for and how to use them. So that could keep you from doing something stupid while you're in there.

[in_extremis]

You're making me think it's going to be a surprise to you when you realize we're not on Earth.

You're from Earth, right?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, that's... a good idea.

[ he agrees. he can't be hit with random plant allergies if he always knows what plant he's looking at. Well, hopefully not, anyway. ]

anyways, what's up with the giant hole that's like... north of here. I mean, it's kinda hard to miss so I don't know why I'm telling you where it is.

[hashtagparkerluck]

well yeah, I know that.

but if there's something similar i'd kinda like to know if it's gonna have a similar effect.

[doubled_speed]

Oh, that's to part of the mines. Don't fall down it. We don't know if the bug repellent in there will hurt you, and whether the ragebugs are back or not. They always could be.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I'll keep that in mind.

...

What are rage bugs? Like the spiders?

[doubled_speed]

Nah. They're parasites. They bite the host, here, [He taps the back of his neck] and they take control of you in a lot of ways. Make you angry. Territorial. Hurt people.

[He rolls up the sleeve of one arm to show an ugly scar from an electrical burn. Well, no, not quite.]

Billy did this to me, though he didn't mean it. Almost killed Tony. I almost destroyed the ships. Teddy put a wall through our home.

[ She's way too blunt for this, sorry. ]

The plants here likely do not exist on your home planet. If you're allergic to any of them, then you would not know it.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter makes a face, a little alarmed that he could say that so casually and then offers a sharp nod. ]

Um.. yeah, I'll keep clear. I don't wanna hurt anyone.

Uh.. anything else I should probably stay away from?

video

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, okay. That's fair.

[ Peter confesses. ]

but if there's something similar I should probably know about it just in case it has a similar effect?

[in_extremis]

Sweetheart, I've been dancing around that problem for years here.

Mostly, I hope that anything at the diner isn't going to poison me, and so far it's worked out pretty well.

If you're actually worried about spider-juice, that kind of stuff is in pretty limited supply. You'd have to ask who makes it and...I don't know that, actually. Lark makes clothes. Jon makes painkillers. Cayde makes better painkillers.

[hashtagparkerluck]

well that's extra anxiety i didn't really need, thanks.

it's nice to know there's painkillers around though, i mean the worst pain i've been in so far since i got here was migraine.

[in_extremis]

Too quiet for you?

[hashtagparkerluck]

no? i wouldn't say that.

i mean, i get bored kinda easy but i wouldn't say it's too quiet.

[in_extremis]

Really?

It drives me crazy.

I swear I can hear the moon.

Very hard to get bored here, though, that's kind of impressive.
