oh yeah thats right
that sounds like a deal

[photophobic]

[Asking Kylo Ren, discoverer of secrets and all-round crazy OP space sorcerer to demonstrate his abilities, what could possibly go wrong?

Still, what follows is an address. Again, only fair considering Kylo has Peter's. Right?]

Come collect whenever you wish. You may want to bring something for the monsters.

[made_up_names]

[ This is totally a great plan that will never backfire. Especially given that it already backfired with Stiles. ]

uhhhhhh
monsters?

[photophobic]

Yes. Monsters. Don't tell me you thought I was the only one living here.

[made_up_names]

well no obviously i thought you had roommates, just not monster roommates
roommonsters

[photophobic]

Most of them stay out of the farmhouse itself.
As long as they are suitably appeased.

[made_up_names]

soooo uh
are we talking like blood sacrifice
or scooby snacks

[photophobic]

I imagine that depends on the depth of relationship you are hoping to develop.

And the object of your affection.

But in most cases, a little meat will suffice.

[made_up_names]

meat, cool, got it
ill pick something up and be over there in like
wait what time is it

[ It's late, Peter. Too late. ]

[photophobic]

[it's certainly late enough that Kylo's already in his PJs and about to settle in for a comfortable evening of scoffing at The Bachelor with his extremely significant other...]

Approaching in the dark might be unwise.

[made_up_names]

yyyyyeah okay thats. fair.
and tomorrow i have school i guess
saturday morning?

[photophobic]

Of course. I wouldn't want to distract you from your studies.

[made_up_names]

well
"""""studies"""""
probably trying to be a normal student was a mistake

[photophobic]

[Someone has never been a normal student at a normal school and is both bitter and smug about it at the same time.]

Having difficulty sticking to the syllabus?

[Yep.]

[made_up_names]

it. look. i forgot how boring all this was
and why i even wanted to go back to school to begin with

[photophobic]

Perhaps you simply did what you knew was expected of you.
It's never enough.

[made_up_names]

[ Ah. Well. There's a sensitive topic. ]

i already know im not good at what im supposed to be doing so
whatever

[photophobic]

[Isn't it just.]

Then maybe it isn't what you're supposed to be doing.

[made_up_names]

im pretty sure it is, though
and im also pretty sure i dont have a choice any more

[photophobic]

[...well. That sounds... horribly familiar.]

Whatever your life was, before arriving here. Whatever you did. Whatever was asked or expected of you. Whatever you were still carrying of the past.

You choose how much of it you bring with you.

[made_up_names]

[ That's ... not bad advice? Who is he talking to again? Oh right, Kylo Ren. ]

huh
i guess youre right about that
i mean, i feel obligated, but its not like i am obligated?

[ Given the overwhelming number of superheroes versus ... well. The state his world is in now. ]

[photophobic]

Obligated to what. To whom.
You have a new existence, here. It's yours to do with as you choose.

You can choose to be what you were. If you want. You can spend your time here trying to recover as much of your old life as you can pull together. You can search for fragments of the familiar and tie yourself to them. But make no mistake, Peter. You have that choice.

[made_up_names]

[ What a strange thought that is. Kylo's not wrong - Peter does have a choice here. He could pretend to just be a sticky guy forever, and never don Spider-Man's mask again. And the fact that that thought doesn't feel right doesn't mean it isn't still a choice on some level. Mysterio would probably be thrilled if he hung up the cowl. Hell, he knows that bastard would love it. ]

i think
thats not a choice im gonna make in one night
also theres this asshole from home making it complicated so

[photophobic]

Perhaps it isn't a choice you only make once.

As for assholes from home. [Yes. He delights in parroting back phrases that definitely do not belong to him.] You have my sympathy. I think you've already encountered the majority of my complications.

[made_up_names]

[ Oh yeah, he kind of did, didn't he. Poe and Leia and Luke sure would be kind of upsetting, wouldn't they. He ... wisely decides not to say anything specific about that. ]

how do you deal with them?
like do you ignore them or do you try to live with them?
