[ Hello everyone, have the slightly breathless voice of Peter Parker. He's also talking much faster than usual. Wonder why. ]


Ohmigod, guys!

that survey thing asked people if they could swim. I can swim and like if you can't I'll teach you.

or I'll try to teach you.

anyone else wanna volunteer their services as a swim coach? You know, if we like get a swimming pool or something?

Wouldn't that be awesome? I mean, it couldn't be too deep-probably another double floor car-you have the pool up top and like a landing type thing? How would that work? Can they make the train wider? I mean it's not like we're on tracks. Or are we? Are their train tracks in the void?

...

Can't be, right? Like who even put them there?

and WOW this got rambly so uh... I'm just gonna...

[ Aww, she's adorable. ]

I-I don't know that I'd say that-I mean I guess.

[ He is very smart, she just makes some bad choices sometimes. ]

[happyends]

[ Don't worry, Peter. Madoka is here to appreciate your intelligence. Especially because once the Madoka compliments train starts, it doesn't stop. It never stops. ]

No, no, you really are smart! That's such a great idea, and I hadn't thought of it at all yet.. It kind of sounds like you'd know how make anything here on the train fun.

[ Gosh Madoka, you're gonna make him blush. ]

Well-I-I wouldn't say that, I'm just good at putting things together.

[happyends]

But that's still a talent, right? Even if it might not seem all that special to you, you should still be proud of it. It's cool.

[ She's pretty hypocritical for saying that to others when she doesn't listen to that advice herself, but sshh. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, yeah I guess... [ He agrees. He's not sure how smart that makes him though. But it isn't that he doesn't think he's smart he's just very much aware there's a lot he doesn't know. ]

Well, if that's my special talent your's has gotta be making people feel better about themselves. Not enough of that happening where I'm from, really. So you should be proud of that.

[happyends]

[ Accepting compliments isn't exactly her speciality, but thankfully there's something else that pulls her attention. ]

Not enough? Are people not nice to you back home?

[ She can't even imagine that. Peter seems cool and nice, why would they not be nice in return? ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Wow, she picked up on that really fast. Is she sure she's not that perceptive? Peter has his doubts. ]

Uh... sometimes, I guess. I mean, it's not uncommon but I've kinda learned to live with it so it's not really a big deal.

[happyends]

[ For a moment Madoka is quiet. It's mostly hesitance, like she isn't sure what is or isn't proper to say here, but then she goes for it anyway. ]

Well.. It's good that you've learned to live with it, since it means you're strong. [ Madoka couldn't live with people being mean to her. She'd cry. ] But at the same time.. I-It still isn't right for people to be mean to you! It's not as if you did anything to deserve it..! [ Probably? Peter seems nice enough. And people here seem to like him. ]
