[The viewscreen shows Ben up close, in all his unshaven, raccoon-eyed glory. A weekend spent sleeping will do that to you. Interestingly enough, the usually blond haired Ben is sporting brown hair ( Read more... )

Well, I could probably hook you up, as long as you can actually drive. I wouldn't give any other spider-themed heroes the keys to a moped let alone a motorcycle.

Yeah, the spider-family doesn't exactly have a good driving record. Probably because you usually can get around Manhattan much faster with webs. But I assure you that I am a better driver than the other spider-people.

Just try to forget there was ever a spider-mobile.

I don't know, that spider-mobile was pretty well ingrained into my memory.

Hey, I- that had nothing to do with me. Someone else built that jalopy. They just branded it with the Spider name after the fact.

Don't worry about it. You don't owe me an apology.

Just swing by my office when you're back from vacation.

We'll talk shop then. There's a lot of shop to be talked about these days...

[Matt looks pretty tired himself.]

That's an understatement if I ever heard one.

This weekend was rough on a great many of us. Take it easy for a few days. That's what I'll be doing.

Sounds like a plan.

[fiddle, fiddle, private]

What do you know about this Norman Osborn Psych hospital? The whole thing gives me the willies, but as much as I want to, I don't think I can volunteer myself to go inside and figure out what deep dark secrets lurk behind the facade.

[ Reilly spends a few seconds just staring at back at his camera in shock. The resemblance had always been strong, but without the bleach... ] I almost thought you... forget it. Need me to pick up some bleach while you go riding?

Yeah, that'd be good. Something about those damn nightmares...it shocked the blonde out of me, I guess? Who knows. I'm probably better off not questioning why I went to sleep blonde and woke up brown-haired.

Like father, like son, right? I had to forge documents when I went out west, but I think the standards for forgery are a little laxer out there. Probably isn't something a lot of those small-town folks ran into on a regular basis, and most of them didn't really care to see papers or Social Security cards or whatever, as long as you could sling hash well. Haven't decided if fake papers or real papers are a good idea here.

Ugh. This place is so bizarre. [ He frowns, then smirks. ] Unless you had a nightmare about that bleach job. That might explain it.

Real papers would be best, if you can swing it... pun unintended. Less to worry about, you know? If you are going to fake it, though, I've found consistency helps combat that big city paranoia. Which may mean faking even more documents, but as you keep your story straight...

Not that I'd ever advise breaking the law.

No nightmares about the bleach. [He pauses to run his hands back through his hair.]

It's kind of weird...to think that here, I actually have a legitimate claim to documentation. When you spend your life as a non-person...it's weird, you know? [Laughing] Guess I shouldn't have thrown away those tags.
