—Uh, hey!

[Peter waves at the camera. He looks like he has it on the wrong level, and then he fixes it to not be looking mostly at his mid-eyes until he looks better, much better, without a camera giving everyone a near immediate relationship with his nose and mouth and probably pores. Look, he can accomplish things.]

—Sorry about that. And whatever you might've seen instead for a moment. I'm looking for a lab, and I'd say "hypothetically, say a guy is looking for a lab of all his own," but really, I need a lab to conduct some experiments. I promise I'm not planning to blow up any showers or the kitchen or anything like that, I—I generally avoid fires. Generally. [Except that one time in chemistry, but he's much more graceful now.] It's just that I'm used to having a lab of all my own, and I've checked the map a few times, and ... well—I don't wanna assume, you know, that I've got access to that.

[It's only now that he realizes that he should've gone for upgraded webshooters, but he didn't really want to ditch what Tony Stark gave him. They're from Tony Stark! They were a birthday present from Tony Stark.]

And this also came up with a buddy ... a pal ... you know, a new guy here, who's new like me, that maybe we should come up with a way to track the disturbances in the—[Force. Don't be a nerd, Parker.]—in the way things are here. Has anyone tried that yet?

Oh, and I'm Peter Parker. Yeah, I'm a nerd. You guessed it. But what can I say? I managed a lab in my own room back home, I can't go without here. Especially here.

[ He at least has the modicum of grace available to look marginally apologetic, since it sucks meeting people who aren't familiar with you on a one-way street. ]

Even if it was a bad thing, as long as it's interesting. To a degree. [ He's mostly actually surprised that you recognize him, and it seems to be positive. Most people who come in knowing him seem to be angry for some reason or another. ] Sorry though. You can swing by if you want, reintroduce yourself.

[unmasking]

Yeah, let's just say I've had my fair share of bad experiences involved with bad science. Maybe you haven't?

[He looks at him curiously when he asks that question.]

But swinging by—that seems like a good thing to do. When ... is good, I guess? Are you busy here? Is it possible to be busy here?

[fe_male]

Nah. [ absent tap tap tapping on the reactor while he works, a muffled asynchronous staccato. ] But it all tends to work out eventually.

Only time I'm busy is if there's a tie on the door-knob. Or yelling at something. Or JARVIS keeps you locked out. Usually for one of the two aforementioned reasons. Whenever you feel like it, kid. If I'm not there you can look around anyway.

[unmasking]

Yeah, I guess you don't really have the same top secret stuff here?

[Or Peter figures it's relatively safe.]

I'll definitely be by soon. Or later. Sooner or later.

[fe_male]

Not so much, no. Not the space. Sounds good though. Don't let J scare you on the way in.

[unmasking]

Something tells me that I'll be able to handle it.
