un: spiderguy

( the username might not be familiar to most, since it isn't used often and usually only with those that already know about who spider-man is. these are unusual circumstances, though, and require a little flexibility. )

yo, spider-man here

( absolutely just ... puts that out there, like it's a perfectly normal name that no one should have questions about. )

usually this sort of thing isn't a team sport for me, but, hey. old spiders can apparently learn new tricks. or try? this is me, trying.

so i here i am on a midnight stroll at flona cove, i love me some romantic walks alone on the beach,
and to my astonishment just offshore there are what look like pirates (a few hats w feathers but what gave them away was the guy with the eye patch) making off like... well, pirates? i guess? with caches i know for a fact they didn't dig up
there's lots of these guys. 30 or more. and while i'm used to the solo thing, maybe this is more like a 2 person job.
3. maybe 3.

any takers? and more importantly, how fast can you get here

( he will take questions and concerns while he's at it. shoot. text only though, please... he's trying to go incognito. )

[ Yes, yes do, Peter. ]

why not?
these puppies have a respectable camera in them
be sure to catch the glint of their gold teeth! ;)

seriously though
are you going after them by yourself?

[ He's not really sure what to expect from someone who goes by "Spider-Man", but one guy against a whole group of pirates? ]

ok, I will see what I can do. sorta at a bit of a distance on these guys, not sure they'd welcome a newcomer in the midst of thieving. just previous experience suggests thieves don't like being surprised then.

if I have to, sure. if I surprise 'em, it won't be so bad.

( it could be a little bad. he'd still do it anyway. )

[punshots]

yeah no kidding
thats usually the opposite of what you want when youre a thief

[ Not that he knows this from experience! He's just assuming. ]

what decides whether or not you have to?

[webdesigned]

I'm not exactly dressed like a part of the establishment but either way, I'm not expecting they'll be glad to see me.

...whether anyone else shows up or not before they get ready to sail off.

[punshots]

how long do you think you have before they leave?

[webdesigned]

an hour, maybe two. if i can slow them down.

aaaaaaand, here (sorry, not my best work)

( an image is attached, rather blurry, of dark forms moving along a dock with crates on their shoulders. )

[ Sure, it's not the best pic ever, but hey, a snapshot of pirates is a snapshot of pirates. ]

oh man
i dont think i could get there that fast
but you shouldnt take them on on your dude!!!

[webdesigned]

why not? is there an acceptable levels of piracy clause on this planet that i missed? i get it, new world new rules, totally possible

[punshots]

whoa hey thats not what i meant!
i mean youre just one man
uh
spider-man
can you handle all of them on your own?

[webdesigned]

it would not be ideal but i've survived worse

( this is a very uncomforting answer. )

[punshots]

[ Um, yeah, it really is! ]

dude
i think this is what they mean when they say
check yourself before you wreck yourself

[webdesigned]

i have heard the expression, but, i come back from wrecking myself fairly well

i can't just do nothing.

[punshots]

yeah
yeah i get that
thats not the kind of thing you can just ignore
just
wait for back up if you can

[webdesigned]

( you're a good guy, prompto. for not the first time, his secrets weigh a little heavier. )

hey, thats what this post is for, dude. i will
and don't worry about me, okay? this is my day job, back home. i'm pretty good at this.

[punshots]

ill try not to
but not promises!!
and
good luck
i hope you get them
sometime you gotta explain how catching pirates is your day job though

[webdesigned]

okay, sometime, I'll catch you up on it. promise.

( don't make promises you don't keep, peter... )
