WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

Well, you quickly figured out just how to distract me, too.

[ He gives her an awkward little shrug. Still faintly awed at all of her. ]

You reminded me of me, kind of? So I took you to all of my favorite spots.

[she can tell. it's basically hilarious.]

If you want to give me another look, I think I have some suggestions for that web shooter of yours.

Yeah? Yeah, okay, for sure. Um, this way--?

[ He turns back towards the workshop stairs. ]

[follows along]

Although I should probably introduce myself to Mr. Stark at some point if I'm going to keep messing around in his lab. I'll have to set up my own space sooner rather than later.

Maybe you can talk him into giving you a corner too.

[ Eventually they'll run out of corners, but. Peter heads back to his area. It's much the same as the last time she saw it: webshooter parts, vials of webfluid, completely busted Iron Spider suit. ]

No offense to his set-up, but that's not quite going to cut it.

...did you make the suit?

This isn't gonna cut it?

[ He gestures to the lab. Which is the most amazing thing he's seen so far, anyway. ]

No, Mr. Stark did. I definitely don't have the tech or the money to make something like this.

It's very impressive, but I need more room to spread out than a corner where the base tech is all someone else's design...

[sort of, absently, while she leans in to check out the suit]

[ The suit's in bad shape, alas; he used up pretty much any web fluid or nanobots that might have been associated with it, plus the whole thing is clearly battle-scarred. It needs work that Peter frankly isn't capable of doing. ]

How much room do you usually have?

I head Wakanda's Design Group, so, shall we just say a fair bit?

[still offhand, most of her focus is on examining the damage]

This really went through the wringer...

[ Peter, meanwhile, is openly staring at her. ]

You - head the whole design group? Of Wakanda?

Yes, yes, I know, but I'm so young.

[a little impatient but mostly amused. she points at some kind of scanny tool idk]

Pass me that, would you?

[ He does so wordlessly. ]

Well - yeah, I guess that too. But I can't even picture having that much workspace period, much less running it.

[cool let's check out just how depleted this suit is. although she does pause and actually look at him thoughtfully]

I know my position is fairly unique. I guess I'm going to have to get used to building my way up while I'm here.

[ It's pretty much empty man. And he lost like half of his extra spider legs at some point during the fight. Plus the sensors are wrecked, the AI functionality is busted ... Definitely in need of some TLC.

Meanwhile Peter is still basically just freakin awed. At all of it, really. The only workshop he ever had was his desk. ]

Least there's room here. I bet you could take over part of the mall or something. And Mr. Stark's been here forever, so he could at least tell you what kind of building stays and what doesn't.

I was thinking of just converting my whole apartment... I'll certainly ask him, though.

[sort of, pets the suit absently while she's assessing it. poor suit. there there.]

[ Aww. Peter can't help but smile a little at the gesture. ]

Actually - we could probably convert mine too, if you want. I'm living with Mr. Stark right now. And I might have taken some of his junk he was throwing out even when he specifically told me not to?

[grins]

Fantastic! You couldn't let it go to waste, right?

Exactly! And I know Mr. Stark was making room for me, but how can you just throw that stuff out?

I'm sure we can make something great with it.

Man, I do not doubt that at all. If you're running an entire lab in Wakanda with - vibranium and stuff...

[ This is the the most nerdy of nerdboy sighs. ]

[omg]

...well, I may not have the resources I'm used to, but let's see what we can do.

Yeahyeayeah, for sure. I'll help you out any way I can.

Did you want to get this up and running too?

[running her fingers over the suit again]
