... okay, this is -- not okay. At all. This is -- you can't take me away from my dad's funeral and tell me I'm not -- not real, what is....
This is insane. This is the--
No. I'm not okay with this and I don't want to stay here. Do you understand that I have-- places to be? My family --
... no, okay. Fine. I can deal with this. If I have to, I will. So. [ DEEP BREATH. ] My name is Gwen. Gwen Stacy. If we're all -- fictional, I can only assume it's possible that people I know have been brought here too and told the same thing. So, iiiiif my name is familiar to you? Now's the time to say so. Otherwise?
[ DEEPER BREATH. ]
I'm. Going to go sit down. Somewhere. If anyone needs me, I'll just be. Yeah. So. Thanks.

[He sighs, raising a hand to rub at the back of his neck.]
Or it could be that we're all on a major drug trip. I mean, that's what that book is, right? A metaphor for a drug trip? I think I'd prefer that than the existential awkward alternatives.

[ Said somewhat off-handedly before she mentally gets her shit together again: ]
Um-- yeah. I could stand to hold off on a double dose of existential crises for right now. I mean, it's -- worth figuring out. Absolutely. In fact, it needs to be. But, honestly, right now, what I need more is a place to sleep and a change of clothes. They're, um -- I've been hearing about a hotel, did anyone tell you?

[There's an eagerness in his voice, he can't help himself.]
I think I saw someone around talking about it. I was going to follow the so-called hordes of people.

I kind of have to, I work for-- er, I mean, I did work for ... for the foremost mind on cross-species genetics. [ Her expression twists and she shakes her head. ] Um. Let's not talk about that. That's-- you know what, actually, maybe I will join you. Soonish? Like -- an hour?
no subject
An hour sounds good. I'm gonna go explain almost two-hundred years of technological advances to a guy from 1832 who thinks I got out of the box called his smart phone, but I should be there on time.

It's kind of surreal. He wonders how much other-him dresses differently. Is his costume different?
... Oh, right. Girl. Talk to her.]
Hey.

Peter. Hi. [ She gets to her feet. ] Sorry, I -- wow. Please tell me this is as weird for you as it is for me. [ He is shorter. He doesn't wear clothing she really recognizes. His hair is different. But there's something unmistakable about the shape of his face. His eyes. There's just no doubting it's him. ]
no subject
[And it is. The way she speaks is absolutely completely different from his Gwen, but their faces are nearly identical. Seeing them side by side would be surreal, but at least he, well, can't at the moment.
The way she dresses is different too. Gwen is Gwen but definitely a different Gwen.]
Should I—uh, sit? Should I sit?
