audio: game carriage

[ It's Audio because Gwen Stacy is a mess of as-yet-undiscovered shades of red. She's embarrassed and, from her tone, just a tiny bit annoyed. At herself? At someone else? Only she knows. ]

So...I lost a bet a few days ago and a certain dickweasel named Renee won't let me forget it.

[ Oh. It's at someone else. ]

Now, I have to cash in, but since there's no actual money on the train and I don't feel like spending points on candy, this is what Renee says I have to do. I apologize in advance, but my failure in winning the bet means I have to sing for you all.


[ There's a pause and a sigh/groan from Gwen and then; ]

This is what happens when you're stuck in the wrong universe for a week and every single radio and every single person has this song playing.

[ A delay. She's not ready to embarrass herself, but she knows Renee will make it a lot worse if she doesn't. So, have one Gwen Stacy. Not only can she dance and play the drums, but she has an awesome and amazing singing voice, too. ]

Needless to say, I keep her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless (yeah)
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck (wreck)
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck (wreck)
Needless to say, I'm keeping her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck
Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
Screamin' at my face, baby, don't trip
Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt
Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt
Ooh-ooh, some things you just can't refuse
She wanna ride me like a cruise
And I'm not tryna lose
Then you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Every time I'm leavin' on ya
You don't make it easy, no, no
Wish I could be there for ya
Give me a reason to go
Every time I'm walkin' out
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down
Even if we gotta risk it all right now, oh
I know you're scared of the unknown (known)
You don't wanna be alone (alone)
I know I always come and go (and go)
But it's out of my control
And you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower

[ And with that, a laugh from Gwen, followed by; ]

I hate you, Renee!

[ She does not. Not even a little bit. ]

...bitch.

[ Said very lovingly, of course. And that's that. That's the end of this audio. ]

[shouldertouching]

I have a good idea, you know.

[hibana_incursa]

Haven't. Scratched. The surface.

[shouldertouching]

You can't intimidate me.

[hibana_incursa]

You wanna bet?

[ She’s kidding. Also: ]

Man, I’ve missed you. I know I said it already, but now there are three of us on the train and it’s great.

Oh! Speaking of. Do you want to borrow one of my webshooters? They don’t need refills.

[shouldertouching]

How much?

[ He's probably not going to bet. ]

I missed you too, Gwen.

[ It'd been weird to know someone as short a time as he'd known her and yet it'd left a big hole when she'd left too. ]

Shouldn't you hold onto it?

[hibana_incursa]

[ Neither is she, tbh. ]

I’m pretty good with just one.

[ Years of practice. ]

You can borrow the other. I’m fine with it.

[shouldertouching]

If you're really sure... I mean I'm doing okay.

[hibana_incursa]

I say take it. We lost gravity for a day and we were on a planet that needed our help. Webshooters came in handy both times.

[shouldertouching]

Well, if you insist. You're not going to leave me alone until I do anyway.

[hibana_incursa]

I take back everything I said about you having no idea how stubborn I am.

I'll give it to you at dinner. Peter just showed up in the game room, and I think he needs to talk to me. Catch you later, Miles?

[shouldertouching]

Told you so.

[ Preening. ]

Okay, yeah.
