(I forgot to post this, oops.)

(So I’ll just pilot 3 characters at a time here so I don’t get overwhelmed 😔)

Somewhere in the Spider-Society HQ (dramatic music)

Jasper and Miles were standing next to each other, talking excitedly about something. Jasper held her sketchbook under one arm, as usual, while Miles had his headphones around his neck. Miles crossed his arms and said something in Spanish, his voice a few octaves deeper than normal. He seemed to be doing an impression of someone (I think we know who). Jasper started laughing at him.

“Vorsicht, Miles, vielleicht hört er es.”

“Jasper, you know I don’t know German. I can barely speak my own languages!”

“That’s the point!”

Phantom slipped into the room at some point, holding something in her hands. She looked a bit nervous and shaky. She looked around, then sat down in a corner away from the others. She looked down and started fidgeting with whatever was in her hands.

Hobie was being Hobie, somewhere.

Kreo was enjoying a patented spider burger in the cafeteria. Despite how weird the concept was, it was a very high quality burger. Delicious.

(Damn look at these short responses, it would be a shame if I-)

Nova seemed to be in a good mood. Good mood generally meaning she didn’t glare at everyone who made eye-contact with her. But she was also astoundingly bored. And this meant that she would have to find someone to inflict her presence upon. She adjusted the collar on her leather jacket and stepped inside a room. She looked around, noting the people there. One in particular caught her eye. An old friend.

She took a few strides over to her, smiling. “Well, fancy seeing you here, Phantom. Been a while, hm?”

Ominously standing in front of his array of computer screens, as always, was Miguel O’Hara. He stared blankly as he glanced over all the information, and as still as a statue while he did it. The only thing that made him move—a swift snap of his head to look behind him—was the soft clump-clump of heavy-booted footsteps from behind him.

“Buenos tardes, O’Hara,” a slightly mechanical voice said. “I assume you know the mission is completed?”

Miguel turned to face the person. “Yes, Dante. Good work.”

Dante’s head tilted. He’s in a less annoying mood than usual. “Thank you. I’ll be gone then.” He turned to leave, and with no further comment from Miguel, he did.

(Bro does everything ominously ☠️ he fr thinks he’s the main character)

Phantom looked up at Nova, a bit startled. “Oh- hi.” She stood up, putting the object in her pocket. “You seem like you’re in a good mood.”

Jasper was gesturing all over the place, rambling on about some random thing while Miles listened patiently. That was one reason they were good friends, he tolerated her weird little rabbit trails.

Miles gestured with his head towards the room’s exit. “Wanna walk around?”

Jasper nodded, then jogged out of the room, soon followed by Miles.

Kreo tosses the remains of the Spider-burger(tm) into the trash, and swings into the main hall, with dozens of dozen-hundred bridges. He flips and lands on one of the higher elevations, then up to the ceiling. He stretches, then lies down(up) on the ceiling. As far as he could tell, all of his closer spider-people-co-workers were either doing something somewhere else, or busy with a mission of their own. So, not much to do but do some drawing. He pulls out a journal, and begins drawing pictures of the last anomaly he had fought.

Jasper suddenly appeared next to Kreo, crouching down as Miles shot a web and swung next to Jasper, hanging there and staring at Jasper in slight annoyance.

“Hi!” Jasper said eagerly.

Miles blinked at Jasper. “Why?”

Jasper poked Miles in the head. “Because.” She stared at Kreo, eyes wide with curiosity. “What’cha drawing?”

Hobie, who was not yet beneficial to the plot, was hanging out in HQ, most likely stealing things.

Kreo answers still focused on the drawing. "The Doc Ock I caught the other day. It was from a cyberpunk looking dimension, so their whole outfit was really cool. So I wanted to draw it." Once he finishes the drawing, he turns the book around to show it his drawing to Jasper. The Cyberpunk Doc Ock was androgynous with short silver hair, and the universal Doc Ock sunglasses. Their tentacle arms look to be made of sleek, slightly purple futuristic steel, having glowing streaks running through each arm.

Jasper tilted her head. “Ooooh! That’s really cool. I draw, too!” She rummaged around in her bag, then pulled out her own sketchbook. The black cover was slightly worn and covered with stickers.

Miles shrugged and flipped around to sit next to Kreo and Jasper, silently watching Jasper flip through the pages of her sketchbook.
