[ the video's not all that well focused or held, mostly getting her shoulder and part of her face except for the moments she readjusts it back to focusing on her face temporarily. the light is dim, wherever she is, and between the blood drying on her and the way her voice keeps hitching as she stumbles over words, the unsteadiness of her hands holding the tablet, and the way her head tips back against the wall she's leaning against every so often as if she can't quite hold it up - she's not in great shape. ]
You know, someone should get to work on this machine's timing. Adjust it a little bit. Make it stop being a fucking piece of shit. Or taking people who don't want to be taken. Or - I don't know, what else is it up to lately? How long's it been.
[ breaking off. she's forgotten what she needed to say, is looking off at nothing in particular for a long moment. abruptly - ]
What's that story about the lady and the tiger? With the princess whose lover has to pick one of two doors as punishment, and one has a tiger and the other has a woman he'll have to marry. And she makes a gesture to tell him which one to pick, but the story doesn't tell you which one the door had behind it.
I guess a little closure's too much to ask for.
[ blood loss: good for clarity. ]
I could use a doctor.
[ ooc: charlie cutter & tempest get providing aid rights, but if you would rather action it up she'll be wandering around the area for part of the day and can be run into most anywhere just checking everything out. ]

And now that he's here, he's had to think of everything he's stepped away from. He's saving a world and saving that world will save his world; it's just one step after another step. It's as simple as that. But it's different now. He's not saving people and crawling in a window at four AM fully aware that Aunt May can hear him. He's not grabbing dinner and telling Gwen to explain where he's been. He's not trying to dodge Johnny and Bobby while he goes out to do hero business.
He's actually alone here. The real question is what life is he trying to save without those people. (At least, what life of his.) It's not that he's trying to throw it away—Peter would never think of that—but it's a little funny while encouraging someone to live.]
