[Video] First Study Session

[Pete figured waiting at least 24 hours would be a good idea before stepping out into the open as Peter Parker, considering he'd spent much of the previous day as Spider-Man. He was also hoping that the sizable crowd of new arrivals would also cause people not to give the timing a second thought. After all, it was perfectly reasonable to believe that they were two different people who just happened to get dragged here as part of the all-expenses-paid unplanned vacation, right? It also helps that he sounds a bit different without the mask, and a whole lot less confident and sure of himself. Not to mention about 1000% more serious about things.]

...I guess this thing's working now...

[He'll clear his throat before continuing, in a distinctly not-mumbled tone of voice.]

So, first things first, I guess. My name's Peter Parker, and I'm one of the new arrivals. And I've got some questions. A lot of them are probably the same ones you all have, so I'm not going to bother with those. I just noticed something unusual last night.

Unfortunately, it looks like they're probably telling the truth about this not being our home. I mean, unless the Earth picked up a new moon when no one was looking, I don't think this is anywhere even close to home. Especially since the starts don't look like they match up, either. But that's also what I have some questions about.

[Frankly, this scrawny looking teenager seems to be handling the entire mess pretty well. In reality, he's pretty much still freaking out on the inside, but he's had plenty of practice with keeping a level head in bad situations. Both in and out of costume, because his luck is just that spectacularly poor that it's something that comes up pretty frequently.]

Has anyone noticed any unusual effects of having an extra moon involved? They both seem pretty sizeable, so I figure they've probably got some effect on the planet, sort of similar to the moon back on Earth. So I was wondering if there's anything unusual as far as far as marine activity is concerned. At the very least, it might mean there's some pretty interesting adaptations in aquatic life to look at. As for the stars...I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I don't recognize any constellations up there. Has anyone else had any better luck? At the very least, it might help give us some idea of just where exactly we are in relation to the rest of the universe.

[ The second time around, these terminal things are a little easier to figure out. Zack still hasn't gotten the hang of their finer workings (see: anything other than Record and Send), but at least he's past the fifteen minute delay stage.

And he hasn't smashed anything - there's that. Technically, he's still in debt for the last computer he touched. But that's beside the point. ]

I didn't think it'd be this hard to find a decent weapon shop around here. They're usually front and center, y'know? [ Right next to the Items Shop and the Inn, generally. This is very basic city planning. ]

But I probably should've guessed. There's not exactly a lot around here to fight... [ Which is weird, and makes life a little boring - but it definitely isn't a bad thing. He shrugs, flashing the screen a lopsided smile. ] So what I'm saying is, if anybody out there's had better luck, I wouldn't mind a recommendation or two. I can't be the only one who wound up here unarmed, right?

Oh, yeah, and uh... [ He runs a hand down the back of his neck, looking around indecisively (as if that's doing anything to hide the faint hint of color climbing in his suddenly uncomfortable expression). ] If somebody wouldn't mind holding my hand for a while, I'd appreciate it, too. I kinda let that get away from me.
