 So. Today's one of those days where the deities have their fun with us, huh? A little embarrassment for breakfast, with some awkward looks and quick switch overs to audio-mode before noon -- I get it, I get it. I've fallen into a world where Deadpool and Arcade run things; no sweat.  

[ A beat. He sounds calm, but slightly embarassed at the same time. ]

Just...Let me finish making a PG13 filter for this thing.

[ And then, off-handedly: ]

Then again, I do some of my best work in the buff.

Anyone know if there's some kind of equivalent exchange going on with these curses? Maybe one day they're just silly, then the next they're terrible -- that kind of thing?

This isn't so terrible.

I always hear a silent 'not yet' when people say things like that.

Least we're not inside out or anything.

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

You said it, not me.

And I take full responsibility if we all end up looking like sloppy joes tomorrow morning.

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

You're Peter Parker.

[ Audio; ]

[bythreadalone]

I'm -- actually a little bit creeped out.

Have we met, Ms...?

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

Wallace. Saya Wallace.

We met the last time you were here. I don't remember very much of it. It was a long time ago.

You're doing very little to make me think this isn't some kind of trick. I've never seen this place in my life.

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

I wasn't aware I was supposed to.

[ Audio; ]

[bythreadalone]

Most people don't try to ruin first impressions.

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

Most people lie.

[ Creeped out vibe...]

And you don't?

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

I don't generally see a point to it.

[ Audio; ]

[bythreadalone]

There isn't, generally.

[...]

You said you knew me?

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

Yes.

[ Audio; ]

[bythreadalone]

How?

[ Probably going to kick myself for asking. ]

[ Audio; ]

[synanthrope]

I don't think it's something I should discuss on an open channel, Peter.

[ !!!! ]

--That's just. Ugh.

[bythreadalone]

How do you know me, Ms. Wallace?

[ Audio; private | unhackable ]

[synanthrope]

You got caught in one of my webs.

[ Audio; private | unhackable ]

[bythreadalone]

Please tell me that's a euphemism for something.

[ Audio; private | unhackable ]

[synanthrope]

Not even a little.

You didn't want to have sex with me.

[bythreadalone]

I, uh -- Listen, I'm flattered and everything in retrospect but, I. Ah.

Okay, can we take this back from square one?

[ Audio; private | unhackable ]

[synanthrope]

What's so confusing?
