[ It's been awhile since Peter's made an announcement and he's even using the video function this time. ]

H-hey guys! I uh... it's been a bit? huh?

Sorry, I just wasn't feeling myself so I've kept mostly to uh... myself that past week or whatever it's been.

but I'm feeling better now! A lot better, I think. I don't know-we'll see.

But since I kinda spaced on platform day-I'd like to actually say high to the new guys.

So uh... hi? I'm Peter Parker. You can usually find me in the dressing room or the movie car. Nice to meet you all?

oh! Yeah! hey. I kinda remember that-sorry I was just really out of that day-my girlfriend left so uh... I've just been kinda depressed, you know?

[ He sucks in a breath and tries to relax a little. ]

But I'm trying to bounce back. [ He always bounces back. ]

[goingthroughaphase]

Oh...yeah, I get that. I'm sorry to hear that. That really stinks.

How're you holding up?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Pretty good, I think. I mean-I'm not exactly a stranger to this kinda thing but it still sucks. A lot. But at some point you just have to keep going so that's-that's what I'm going.

[goingthroughaphase]

It definitely sucks.

[ Being alone was probably the worst part about being here, and while it isn't exactly the same, she can still understand it. ]

But it's good that you're working through it. [ Sometimes, just taking those little steps can really help. ] And it's nice to officially meet you...more or less.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, well. It's Parkerluck.

Sometimes it feels like all I do is deal with the bad stuff so I guess that's sorta taught me to really value the good stuff.

[ However fleeting that might be. ]

[goingthroughaphase]

Yeah...sometimes that's all we really can do.

[ Doesn't make it any less difficult though. ]

Well, if you ever wanna talk, I'm always willing to lend an ear. [ Then she shrugs. ] It doesn't have to be about this, either, you could come find me if you just wanna complain about chores or something.

[ Since they barely know each other, she's sure he probably won't want to talk about the really heavy stuff. But she's willing to talk about anything if he wants. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter shakes his head quickly. He knows that trap when he sees it! ]

Nope-no. Don't complain about chores and never complain about being bored-Mr Stark will find out and give you chores.

I mentioned being bored once and he gave me like a list of ten things he wanted done.

[goingthroughaphase]

[ She can't help a snicker at that. ]

Really? Man, that sounds like someone I know back home.

[ Although it was less 'chores' and more 'sessions in the Danger Room'. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ He'd probably prefer that to washing dishes honestly. ]

Maybe it's just an adult thing. My Uncle would do the same thing.

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Probably not with Logan. ]

Probably. My grandfather used to say that if you're bored, then you're not really thinking.

[ That's probably why she became such an overachiever. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ That sounds exactly like something Tony would say. ]

I'm not sure how much I'd agree with that sentiment-I mean I'm pretty much always thinking-or specifically over thinking. I'm a pro at that last one.

[goingthroughaphase]

I know, right? You can still get bored with something even if you're in the middle of doing or thinking about it.

[ Doing too much of something is a good way to get bored of it. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Right? I mean my attention span's not that great as it is.

[goingthroughaphase]

[ She laughs softly. ] I get that. Besides, it's easier to focus on something when you're actually interested in it.

[ And chores? Not all that interesting. ]
