There are three coordinated newcomers in the Nexus. Coordinated in the sense that their attire matches--less so in their relation to one another. In point of fact, they seem to be arguing.

"--doesn't even look like the Internet!" "Well, how would you know? Have you ever gone on the internet before?" "Doublestuff's got a point." "Still, I was

"You have a wife," is the near-instant reply of a certain redhead who's starting to regret her Halloween costume this year. "How do you get your eyebrows to do that?"

[no_mere_viceroy]

"I'm only huma--" he stops short, looking her over. "What is this? What the f**k is this supposed to be? Are you trying to steal my bit? Oh, what, you think costumed villainy just grows on trees or something? I mean, seriously, what the hell?!"

[vicioussweetie]

"Well actually," she answers with all cheer, "if you go about three miles down that road there, there's a door to a world where villainy does grow on trees."

She permits herself a smirk before continuing. "Besides, I pull it off better."

The Monarch splutters for a moment before snapping, "you only think so because you have breasts. Your pushed-up hoochie sweater-puppies have NO POWER over the Monarch!"

Glancing behind him, he swats at his henchmen. "Stop drooling, damnit! Who do you work for, anyway?"

[torchwoodbutler]

"I would suggest you find a hobby, maybe something you and your new wife can do together"

[no_mere_viceroy]

"You've never been married, have you?"

[torchwoodbutler]

"No, the one woman I imagined marrying died before I could even propose to her."

[no_mere_viceroy]

"Wow, that's... that's a rough break, man."

A Spider-Man comes in and...completely ignores the Monarch, instead turning his attention to the henchmen.

"So, why do you guys work for this schmuck anyways?"

[no_mere_viceroy]

The short one answers first, "it's funny you should ask. I've found henching to be a rewarding experience. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

The taller one interjects with, "you're full of it! And that quote is right before the guy died, are you tempting fate?" He shuffles a few steps away, adding, "I'm standing over here now."

[notyourspidey]

"Even if that was true, which given your buddy's reaction it isn't, is it really worth having to wear those outfits? I mean seriously, those things are degrading."

[no_mere_viceroy]

"Dude!" the short one complains, "these outfits are bad ass! You're Spider-Man, how can you not get this? And that was a quote from Blade Runner. You lose, like, fifty geek points."

"Can't you just go after his sons or something."
