VOICE ; forward dated to the 23rd, late evening

Hey everyone, this is Peter. I'm, uh... Just lemmie-- Okay, I'm gonna preface this with "I'm fine", which... probably still sounds concerning to anyone who knows me. Uh, with good reason, but I promise that I really am fine.

Okay? Okay.

So... okay, you know those freaky tentacle snails that attacked those guys a little while ago? Yeah, they're still around. I ran into a few of them outside the city, and by 'ran into' I mean 'was totally ambushed by'. Like, I was just minding my own business and they jumped out all "Blahhhhgh!" and I was like "oh snap!!", so yeah, we fought a little and I got bit and, y'know, it hurt. And I know the one guy was all "hey call for back up if you see any" and I totally would have if I'd had a chance, but I didn't? I mean, not because I didn't want to, it's just like, in the moment I was a little distracted by trying to get away from the things, and I didn't have my web shooters on me because they're possessed by demons right now? So I wasn't gonna even try to catch one of those guys without my gear, so I left. My toothbrush tried to stab me this morning, I'm not dealin' with this on top of that today. I'm done, I'm tapping out!

Anyway, if anyone else ends up fighting these guys, go for the eyes if you can. They're kind of hard to hit because of all the tentacles, but if you can take their eyes out it slows them down. They're still dangerous, though, like, they will absolutely still try to fight you, so just like, don't stick around if you can help it. In fact, just don't go outside the city by yourself. Don't go anywhere by yourself. Y'know, buddy system up if you can. I don't know how many of these dudes are still out there, but I have a feeling that they're not going away any time soon.

Oh right, I did manage to break a chunk off one of their shells. I don't know how helpful that's gonna be? But I've got it at the lab if anyone wants to see it, assuming you can pry it away from Newt. I also got a photo! It's... not a very good one, but uh, I'll put this somewhere, I guess.

[he can't see her, but she's totally facepalming right now. facepalming with a concerned look on her face, but still facepalming]

"I'm fine," you say. Why am I not convinced? Where are you right now and do you need healing?

[GEOOOORRRGE don't make him feel guilty!!! or do, that's fine too]

I really am actually fine this time, I swear! I'm not even bleeding anymore!

[sorry, she's adopted him as her brother AND THAT'S WHAT SISTERS DO]

Not even bleeding anymore, he says. Which means you were bleeding in the first place. How bad did you get hurt?

[Nobody warned him that this was what it was like to have a sister it's not FAIR]

I got bit, it's just a couple puncture wounds. It's not nearly as bad as that one time, like, this is already starting to close up. I'll be fine by tomorrow, seriously!

[she was a lousy sister the first time around AND SHE'S NOT ABOUT TO REPEAT THAT MISTAKE]

Okay. If you say so. But mind if I see 'em in person? Where're you at?

[Aw man now it's sad

and a defeated sigh,]

Yeah, that's... fine. I'm uh. I'm at the lab.

[like a NERD]

[she makes thing sad. it's a knack]

Okay, I'll be right over.

[hey, she spends a lot of time in the lab, too. she is also a NERD.

and it doesn't take her long to get there, strolling in like she owns the place]

Hey. All right, lemme see 'em. And let's have a look at that shell piece, too, while we're at it.

[George no 8(

he was actually inspecting the shell chunk when she walked in. He puts it down and motions towards it like, THERE IT IS. Give him a second, he got chomped on the bicep and he needs to pull his hoodie off. It probably needs a better bandaging job anyway so heyo]

There's that, and uh, here's... here's me.

[yep.]

[what? other people can draw, still others can play the piano. George makes things sad. it's a gift.

and she eyes the shell, picks it up in one hand, and brings her other hand balled into a fist down on it as hard as she can. ow.

she whistles, impressed] Damn. You must've punched the holy fuck outta that thing. [and she waits for him to remove his hoodie and show off his wound] Are you sure you don't want me to heal that?

[He just shrugs like YEAH he punched the holy fuck right out of it. Just crunched that fucker but good.]

Really, it's fine. I'll be fine in like, a day. Besides, if you heal me up every time I do something stupid, how am I ever going to learn my lesson?

[He won't anyway, you know Peter.]

[big sister feels of pride that he's badass. whoo]

Okay, okay, if you say so. [and the latter part of his statement earns a Look. an "I know for a fact that you're gonna throw yourself headfirst into whatever danger that comes along next and I have accepted that reality BUT" Look] You mean the lesson to not get chomped on by whatever comes along next?

[oh yes, she knows]

[I MEAN he can do badass THINGS but he's about as far from badass as you can get let's be honest

also he knows that look, his aunt used to give him that look. He looks appropriately sheepish in response.]

Eeeyup, that's the one. That lesson right there.

[ehhh, he took on one of the tentacle creatures, punched off part of its shell, and lived to tell the tale. kinda badass?

and yes, it is that Look, it is that Look exactly, she would be glad to know that she deployed it correctly]

Thought so. [a pause] Of course I know you're gonna ignore it 'cause you're physically incapable of not getting in there when someone's in trouble 'cause that's what you do and I know that's what you do and it's admirable, right?, but. Make me keep the healing thing to a minimum? Once a week, tops.

[He took on four of the tentacle creatures. Fine we'll go with badassish.]

I'll do my best to not get beat up any more than is necessary. How's that?

[FOUR OF THOSE FUCKERS?]

That's better. [she's feeling magnanimous]

...so, can I see it? The shell piece? Newt will share with me and if he won't, what he doesn't know can't hurt me.

Oh yeah, you can come see it as long as it stays in the lab. It's not like some kind of big secret or anything.

What, it's not like I'm gonna take it home and use it as a paperweight or something. So, c'mon.

C'mon what? I just said you can come look at it.

I know. And that was me urging you onwards.

[he's just kinda silent on his end of the call why is he having such a hard time comprehending any of this]

To... Onwards to what?

[blood loss, maybe? :( ]

Onwards to see the shell piece. Which I'm on my way towards right now. Because I'm walking to the lab?

[LMAO YEAH PROBABLY.]

Oh, you're onwardsing. I though you wanted me to-- just-- nevermind. I'm gonna shut up now.

Yes, yes, I'm onwardsing. And almost there, the door's right here.

[and she struts on in like she owns the place, underdressed for the weather as usual]

So, where is it? And let's see that wound while we're at it.

[Peter points to the chunk on Newt's table. And the bloody hand towel he has webbed to his upper arm is probably where his wound is.]

Here's this thing, there's that thing.

[the urge to look at the shell first is high, but. wound]

Mind removing the towel so I can see how it is?
