Ugh. Why can't I--

It's like I can't control myself. No matter what, I keep saying these things...

Someone tell me how to stop this. Now.

Hmmm. Seems to be going around. Did something weird happen to you lately? Someone brush up against you, a food you haven't eaten before, samples in the mail... you might've been drugged.

[bedeviledspider]

[ In a guarded tone. ] Spider-Man?

No, I-- if it was something like that, I would have known. I should've known.

[incywincyhero]

Is there any other? ... Wait, yes there is, nevermind. I'm the one you don't like.

Are you sure? I mean, how would you know? [ Realization. ] Uh, you don't have to answer that!

[bedeviledspider]

My spider-sen--

[incywincyhero]

[ Dead silence. ]

Oh. Oh.

You're -- I mean, your fath -- oh, cripes.

[ Awkward pause, obviously desperate for answers but trying not to abuse the truth-whatever more than he already has. ]

Do you want -- is it okay if we talk about this later?

[bedeviledspider]

[incywincyhero]

[ Oh yeah? Try this one on for size. ]

But -- I -- Ben --

[ Another pause. ]

Okay, I can ... at least try to respect that. For a while, anyway.

voice; encrypted

[bedeviledspider]

[ Coldly. ]

Fine. Let me know when you're done "respecting" that, then.

[incywincyhero]

Look. I realize this isn't a comfortable situation for you, but it's not exactly a cakewalk for me, either. Cut me some slack, here.

[bedeviledspider]

Don't presume you have the slightest idea what this is like for me.

-- Then again, he presuming things about me was Parker's hobby. Why should you be any different?

voice; encrypted

[incywincyhero]

I don't have to presume when I can just go by the way you've been acting around me since I got here!

[ Deep breaths, Parker. ] Okay, look, this is a bad time (obviously). I would really appreciate it if we got a chance to sit down and talk, when all this is cleared up, but I'll stay away as long as you need me to.

[ Feed disconnects. ]
