Wild doesn’t cover it.

Hi, MJ. I’m Gwen.

cool
that was not at all reassuring
:D

hey gwen
how long have you been here?
or are you a local?

Just spent 2 weeks as an ice statue and then a few days in the hospital. I think I've lost my ability to reassure.

Sad.

I've been here almost a year? Not a local at all. This is probably the weirdest part of the multiverse I've ever been in.

two weeks as an ice statue?
you know what
that's completely fair

. . .

you've been to other parts of the multiverse?

( and here she thought an alien invasion was the weirdest thing she'd ever see.

n o p e . )

Yep! First time, it was kind of this whole big like...

thing?

with this guy who wanted his dead family back? so he poked holes through the multiverse, trying to find them, and I fell through one.

0/10 would not recommend, btw. it's the pits.

and then i was on a train traveling through somewhere called the void?

and now i'm here. i've been here since...august? of last year? I think? idk multiverse time is weird, the one place I was in used vegetables and fruit to name their months. in alphabetical order.

as far as reasons go for wanting to mess with the multiverse, wanting your family back isn't such a terrible one i think
not that he should've
obviously he shouldn't have

so how'd he manage to poke holes through the multiverse?

a train carrying people through a void sounds like the plot to an 80s horror movie

I mean...fair? I miss my mom and would be so happy to see her alive and healthy again? And I miss my best friend.

But the flaw in dragging someone from one universe to another (present situation excluded and I'll explain why in a minute) is on a molecular level your body is very aware it's in the wrong place and it starts dying trying to get back home.

It is quite painful.

Now, when I was in the wrong universe, that started happening within hours. And with increased frequency.

But I've been here for over half a year, and it hasn't happened once, but I know this isn't my universe at all.

....MJ? as in like captain of midtown academic decathlon, MJ?

wow
that's um
that's pretty specific
but yep
that'd be me

and you are??

oh! sorry. didnt mean to sound like a creeper. its Peter. Parker.

( there's no way this is a coincidence. )

peter?
PETER!
next time lead with that okay??

scratch that
i don't want a next time

but seriously
what's the last thing you remember before finding yourself here??

uh i just got home from internship stuff and May burnt dinner so i fell asleep on the couch and woke up here. it was v. weird. neways where are you?

this whole ordeal is weird

it's kinda nice to have someone familiar in all the weird though
unless we're not the only two people from our world here?

the apartment they gave me when i got here
figured it was the safest bet until i knew what was what
yanno?

where are you?

yeah, definitely. wait. they gave you a whole apartment? i had a social worker lady come put me in foster care.

[ with a vampire. but he feels like that might be something Mr Jace wants on the DL so he doesn't mention it for now. ]

im uh at Honeywell South apt 1 on the fourth floor. wanna meet somewhere?

Presuming there is a party behind this that is pulling the strings? I don't think they care about what is legal and what isn't.

isn't there always someone pulling the strings? just gotta find the guy behind the curtain is all
and yeah i kinda figured as much
but it can't hurt to remind them yanno

Sometimes it might just be the universe itself messing with us.
The reminder most likely falls on deaf ears. Or, inboxes, in this case.

Edited 2021-04-15 08:39 (UTC)

sometimes? you've experience with the universe messing with you?

i think i prefer if there was someone behind all this and not just the universe
at least then we have a chance of stopping them and making them send us home

This place is nothing but the multiverse messing with us. Reality here will change, and most of us are from different realities all together.

And what do you do if it's something you can't punch and control?

Hello, MJ. I'm Evie. Welcome to this part of the multiverse.

I'm afraid I can't offer much help in settling in. A lot of us have had a pretty rough couple of weeks and are still recovering.

Where are you from?

hey Evie, and thanks
i think

so i've seen
on the network
not in person since i just got here and all

like city or planet or universe?
because the multiverse sounds like it could get tricky with locations

but if you're familiar with earth - i'm from queens, new york

what about you?

I had a friend from Queens. He was practically family. He was here for a bit, but vanished home.

So, I'm familiar. We don't have a location called Queens in my universe. I'm from a place called Auradon.

Yeah there's a lot of weird things that go on around here.

But nice to meet you, MJ. I'm Miles.

sounds just like home really
minus the people turning into ice statue
our weird is more along the lines of superheroes and aliens and gods

it's nice to meet you too, miles

have you been here for a while like some of the others i've talked to?

Oh you get weird stuff at home too? I've gotten superheroes, no gods or aliens yet though.

Yeah I've been here...six months, I think? It's hard to keep track sometimes.

a lot of weird happens where i'm from
i think at this point most of expect weird shit to happen

for your sake i hope you never see aliens or gods
from my experience they don't come in peace

what sort of superheroes do you have?
like
power-wise

six months is a long time
are you here alone, or do you have people here from where you're from?

Oh yeah? That's too bad. I'll try to steer clear of them then.

The ones I'm most familiar with are of the Spider variety. You know any heroes like that?

[ He has a feeling she does, just because of the Peter's he knows and how they've all referred to Mary Jane, but he thought he might as well ask anyway. ]

Nah, no one else from my world is here.

[ Which is true, though he can't explain that there are still people he knows, because that's a whole other story. ]

Hey there, MJ. I'm Jan, nice to meet you even if the circumstances are weird.

hi jan, it's nice to meet you, too
looks like weird is p normal for around here

Yeah, that definitely seems to be the case around here. But at least you got here, after the danger has passed.

MJ? Mary Jane?

[He has no idea.]

it's actually michelle
mj is just what my friends call me

who are you?

he asked me about her too im not entirely unconvinced he isnt trying to sell drugs. smh.

Edited 2021-04-16 16:00 (UTC)

Michelle. Sorry, I thought you were somebody else.

I am Mysterio.

Hello, and welcome, and I wish that I had answers to give you. But whoever is pulling the strings here doesn't seem to be very concerned with matters of legality.

thanks
for the welcoming and for the offer of information if you had any

they definitely aren't
so you think it's a someone, too, right?
that it's not just the universe pulling people here at random, or intentionally - whatever the reason really is?

for all we know it could be a whole group of someones managing this
i read the government - my world's anyway - has been kidnapping people for years
using them for experiments
what if this is the same thing?
only on a colossal scale?

It would have been more useful if I did have information for you.

I do believe it's a someone, but as far as I can tell, our odds of finding this someone are not looking very high just yet.
Time has a funny way of bringing things to light, however.

I imagine this wouldn't be impossible to achieve, but there are people here from a variety of different worlds and time periods. What kind of person would have that sort of power?
