[Good morning Thor-ians don't tell the Mass Effect crew I said that, your video feed for the day now includes an image of an...interestingly dressed individual, dangling upside down in front of the camera. He looks new, but doesn't really sound as concerned as he probably should about the whole "this spaceship has just kidnapped you, and we blew up

[Heeeey there Spider-dude. Have a Wally just staring at you.]

[Not for too long, of course. Talking. Is like this kid's superpower....sort of.]

Dude, I think your Guide is upsidedown.

And if the huge void is really dangerous there are plenty of heroes around here.

[Himself included. Actually he's sure he could save everyone without help. ...with some help from his team of course. Maybe.]

[Video until it's not 8D]

[wonhimself]

[That just means they'll get along splendid. And make many, many enemies together.]

Well, you're half right, sport. Guide's not the one gone all topsy-turvy though.

[Of course, just to prove his point and end any further argument, Spidey lets himself hang down right-side up with one hand on the webline. Show and tell time concluded, and he returned himself to the more comfortable position.]

And uh, not to kill that enthusiasm, but I'm pretty sure you can't punch out a black hole. Believe me, I thought that had any chance of success, I'd be out there now.

[video] AND THE THOR WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN...

[itsnotflashboy]

[Sounds about right.]

A Spider-dude huh? I can go with that.

[Oh man, but that was kind of cool.]

Duh, I know that. That's totally not what I meant.

[He meant.... meant.... meant... something else?]

[wonhimself]

Look pal, you're not the only guy here running around in brightly colored underwear and punching bad guys. I just don't see how that helps deal with a black hole.

[Well, at least he's aware of how ridiculous the concept of people in tights fighting crime is, right?]

Unless you've got some really special ones hiding around here somewhere who can push us over to the next galaxy, or one heck of a Triple A membership, I'm still gonna be a little worried.

I don't think that was 20 questions.

You must've counted wrong.

[wonhimself]

Wha- look, it was a figure of speech! I woulda gone with "pop quiz," but I didn't wanna risk causing a panic.

...

Okay, more of a panic. I'd like to think getting sucked into a black hole ranks slightly higher on the panic-meter than flashbacks to freshman chem.

[Granted, he actually LIKED freshman chem, but still.]

[lovesagoodmisog]

Oh, so you're a freshman.

That explains it.

[wonhimself]

[Actually, she was pretty close on that one. Like, off by just a year close. Not that he'd tell her that, sixteen year old supers had a hard time getting taken seriously...]

No. I just remember the head-splitting salvo of groans those two words had a way of kicking off.

Also, you are so not helping.

[be_chalant]

Not totally.

...probably.

[wonhimself]

Thaaaat's not really the encouragement I was looking for.

[be_chalant]

Hey, beggars can't be choosers. Guess you'll just have to make due.

[wonhimself]

[Story of his life, yeesh 8|]

Guess you've got a point. And hey, I'll take that response over terrorized screaming any day. Got enough of that back home...well, when I had a home, anyway.

[hairraisingly]

[ Huh... How weird.. this person is upside down and everything! She sets her guide down and does a handstand so she can be upside down too. ]

[ His costume is really cool though, so she can't stop staring at him. ]

They are kind of grumpy guys, but they can be friendly if you're nice enough to him.

[wonhimself]

[...well, that's definitely a new way to talk to him. Most people just stayed right-side up. Least you've got his interest now, Punz!]

That might be a bit of a challenge. Three forms and four hours in line just to complete my kidnapping experience is not what I consider a good first impression.

[hairraisingly]

It's not that bad though, right? I mean they give us a place to sleep, food, clothes, video games and anything else!

[maid_of_fthulu]

My guess is they evolved from slugs. Slugs that used to eat the paper of more civilized races and came to venerate paper as some sort of superior consciousness. About ten stores higher than any tree you can imagine.

And somewhere between 7 to 10.

[wonhimself]

...wow. Talk about efficient. And hey, 'least it's helpful!

I mean, I can manage a 7 or an 8, maybe even a 9. A full blown 10's just too much for one spider to handle.

[maid_of_fthulu]

We still have a few more days to go before crossing the event horizon. There are people not completely paralyzed with fear and anxiety are in the process of calling out other space stations within the galaxy, or some other method of bailing out our collectively sorry asses.

Incidentally, you are cheating. Twenty questions is restricted to yes and no questions.

[wonhimself]

Well, that's reassuring at least.

[Kinda. Something about her tone didn't make him think rescue was just 15 minutes away.]

...seriously? I need to start checking this stuff. I mean sure, I know almost nobody knows what "irony" really means anymore, but I didn't know it got any worse than that.
