xistentia | 01 : video 🕷 daemon : happyd

[ The video feed starts off shaky, a close-up of the front of a red t-shirt taking up most of the screen while the muffled sounds of sight struggle are heard -- although, nothing serious, it's more fumbling and clearly frustrated sighs. ]

Okay. [ It's the voice of a teenage boy! ] Is thing working? Is it on?

Yes. [ The daemon replies in a familiar older male's voice, sounding clearly Done with Peter Parker. ] Now back up, you're way too close to me.

Yeah, sure. [ He backs up, and who would have guessed that the voice of a teenager was coming from a teenager? ]

Uhm. Okay. [ He straightens his shirt out, clearly he isn't used to addressing any large groups of people... even if he can't actually see them ]

Hi! I'm Peter! [ He gives a quick wave of his hand. ] And, wow, this is a pretty long way from Queens, am I right? [ Awkward laughter. ]

Listen, kid, hurry up and get to the point, okay?

Right. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any special skills, or abilities, or hidden talents. I once knew someone who was double jointed in their shoulders, they could turn their arms in all these weird directions

[ And, then he starts attempting to do the same..... but, very unsuccessfully. It just ends up looking odd. ]

Okay, they get it, quit it before you hurt yourself.

Okay, okay. [ Nod. Nod. ] So.... Yeah. [ He claps both of his hands together. ] If you do, is that something normal where you're from, or do you have to keep it a secret? Did someone teach you, or was it something you were born with?

Or is it the result of a run in with a radioactive insect?

[ Well, that's oddly specific.... ]

Alright, enough questions already, these folks have things to do. Wrap it up.

Fine, fine. turn off. End transmission. Stop--

[ The video then ends abruptly. ]

Threaded | Flat

you don't ever stop being weird do you?

[ Because Leo is super normal. ]

Keeping it a secret is kind of important because most mortals either wouldn't believe us or wouldn't be able to understand.

Anyway, what I am, what I can do... all stuff I was born with.

ARACHNID.

DID YOU BRING YOUR BEAUTIFUL AUNT?

[ Okay, so under normal circumstances he would have ignored this outright. But... ]

Why would it be because of a radioactive insect? [ Because, come on now. That's weird. ]

Hey, don't let him sass you.

Imagine if you were bitten by a radioactive caterpillar.

( Hello, Peter. There's a bright and bubbly teenage girl to talk to now. )

That'd be weird, right? Though maybe less weird than a bee.

For most of those in my world we are born with the ability to manipulate their natural aether. It is an inherent magical energy - the life force of my world.

Some are born with instinctive knowledge of how to use it while others spend years mastering it.

Any additional abilities I have beyond the norm were granted to me by the Mothercrystal. She is similar to this 'God' of other worlds.

Everything else I know is the result of intensive study and training.
