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. )

Does it being on the moon make it worse?

is this a trick question

( he's never been on the moon. that sounds kinda cool so he wants to say better.... but that's probably not what this guy is looking for. )

Nah it's legit. I was legit born on a space colony and legit once held in a military moon prison.

Sounds like a cool adventure until you're there, trust me.

okay, I will trust you

I may be spider-man but my world was just earth. until I ended up here, anyway. space was a barely ventured frontier.

Okay 'spider-man' - [ If only peter could hear the sarcasm with which Duo would say the name IRL, but then again, this is a kid who grew up with no concept of super heroes and all of that. Also ended up piloting a massive mech, but that's a story for another day - ]

- there's a lot of you who've never been off Earth around here. I bet space is a bit of a wild ass ride.

( use as much sarcasm as you want........ to be honest Peter uses a bit of it himself when it comes to his moniker. )

That is almost putting it mildly. Especially considering landing was basically just a mass ejection and we hit the planet full force in tiny pods.

It was not fun, let me tell you.

Oh so you came at the same time as Prompto then.

I just kinda woke up and went on my way, no drama, no whatever so I guess it's not quite as bad. Been through enough rough re-entries to not be jealous of that kind of welcome, too, though.

anyone that is jealous has probably never experienced it before

it may sound cool to hurtle from space but in execution, I did not enjoy, and would leave a negative rating on yelp if it existed here.

Re-entry ain't that bad. I got sick the first time I went to Earth but after that it got to be old hat.

What's yelp, though?

i hope that was a proper re-entry and not a crash landing, i assume there is a difference between the two

yelp is ... an online review website for businesses?? its a funnier joke when you know what it is

Yeah, proper re-entry. The gravity still gets to you regardless.. Being on Earth the first time kinda hurt, actually, because the gravity on the colonies is a little bit less than what Earth's got.

Sounds useful. Like it would've saved me a good few less than stellar meals while I was hangin' out.

......huh. i wonder if the gravity here is that comparable to earth, relatedly. honestly never thought about how it could be different but you're right and it could be.

yeah, it was. feel free to make the nysa version of yelp and make out like a bandit.

Doesn't feel much different to me. Still prefer the weightlessness of space though tbh... It's like a boob for a baby for me.

Man I really should. Could probably do it in a few hours!

wow. that is quite the metaphor.

( that is all he's got on that one, duo... an interesting correlation to say the least. )

go forth and prosper. you have my blessing.

I mean I was born out there from a test tube so... in the blood is saying too little.

How bad would it be if I made a requirement that all comments had to be at least a little funny?

I hate flat out bitching for the sake of it.

you can make it whatever you want, dude, and for the record, that sounds like a good idea to me

the reviews with a sense of humor are the most fun to read.

So it's settled. I'll see what I can get in to coding wise for a review site of all the mom and pop joints in this place.

Hopefully no where I go in Wyver really cares about that kinda thing. They're a proud bunch.

only the displaced could see it, so I don't think it'd affect their profit margins too much.

you're probably good.

Shit, you're right. I always forget that. Seems wrong though that you can't like chit chat with your fave locals that way. There's a fruit seller I'd wanna get the drop on when he gets in my favorite stuff but instead i have to haul myself out of bed and go see. It's lame.

In fact that'll probably be my first review.

haha

get into online advertisement. gripe #1. that's super fair, i liked being able to order all my food online so i never had to speak over the phone... now i have to go talk to people face to face. the worst.

Nah. I like going out in to deep space with the sweepers too much to sit on a planet and do that kinda junk. Think that's why I'm a bit restless here.

Not enough decommissioning old space junk with some booze in between for me.

Don't know if that's a good or a sad existence to be honest

guess that is up to you. what makes people happy is different for everyone.

( sounds pretty miserable to him, though. )

Well.. I like it, so.. whatever.

I know a few people that would probably go nutso cooped up on a ship for however long but like.. living on a colony is essentially one big ship

then that is what is important, right?

though we all have to figure out how to move on from what we are used to, here. some days its easier than others.

Yeah I know for some people it's really different. For me it's just a different solar system, really.
