Oh ah, I beg your pardon. I hope everyone is safe after the storm.

At lunch today, everyone kept asking me what I was going to be for Halloween and if Mr. Stark gave full-sized candy bars.

I told them I would be me and they laughed.

What do they mean then? I don't feel like I can really ask them what does "what will I be for Halloween?" mean. And what is a "full-sized candy bar" and why should Mr. Stark be giving them to anyone?

Is Spider-Man here?

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah...I mean, I'm pretty sure he is. I thought I saw him once swinging around town, at least.

[ Hopefully that keeps it vague enough. ]

[madcuriosity]

Do I call him Mr. Man when I see him? Or is Mr. Spider-Man in one name like Caterpillar?

[idontgetpaid]

It's one name. I think he'd be okay with just Spider-Man.

[madcuriosity]

That would be very rude of me to assume. And you should never assume.

[idontgetpaid]

[ He bite back a laugh, because he doesn't want her to think he was making fun of her. He totally isn't. But wow, her manners are a lot better than most people he knows. ]

Fair enough. I guess most people have never really gotten the chance to ask that before.

[madcuriosity]

Well, since he's here, should I meet him, I shall ask him. I'm sure it can't be too hard to find a spider person!

[idontgetpaid]

[ He considers telling her that there might be more than one spider-person right now, but that might confuse her right now. ]

You might catch him swinging around sometimes. But I hope you get to meet him someday. From what I know about him, he's pretty cool.

[madcuriosity]

Cool? Oh! Oh yes, he's interesting and nice, I remember that slang. [Baby is from 1875.]

I hope I get to meet him as well. I've never met a superhero before. [Despite living with one.]

[idontgetpaid]

[ Ah okay. Another one he has to be careful with about slang. He makes a mental note about that. ]

Yeah. Hopefully you get to meet him at a good time.

[ And not because she was in danger or anything. ]

[madcuriosity]

Oh? What day is a bad day for him?

[idontgetpaid]

Probably a day when there's too much crime and bad things going on.

[ Luckily nothing world-breaking has happened here (yet), but there is definitely more crime in this city than there had been at Beachville. ]

[madcuriosity]

... How would I know that, though?

[idontgetpaid]

You wouldn't, really. Just uh...if you do meet him and he seems distracted or tired, try to take it easy on him.

[madcuriosity]

Why would I want to be difficult in the first place? That's rude.

[idontgetpaid]

[ He mumbles something under his breath, words that might sound like 'You'd be surprised', but then he clears his throat and shrugs. ]

Just...keep it mind if you meet him. And maybe remind him to get some sleep.

[madcuriosity]

Oh ah, well, if you think I should, Mr. Miles, I suppose I can try and remember. But that's if I meet him.

[idontgetpaid]

Right.

[ Maybe one day he'll swing by for her to see. That might be kind of fun. ]
