Issue #1 - "Spider-Senseless"

[seriousbigtime]

[Peter blearily opens his eyes...]

Be up... in a second, Aunt May...

[He suddenly jerks up into a sitting position, glancing around.]

Ooooohkay. This---this isn't my room.

Oh god. Oh man. Oh god, I've been kidnapped, haven't I? This is bad. This is really---

Wait. Hold on a second. If I were really in danger, my Spider-Sense would be going haywire right

[Tiffany is reading a note that she was given. "Peter Parker is total square. Try and talk some sense into him." Well she didn't think he was an actual square. Either way, panicked teen. There is a teenage girl in a witches hat knocking on your door.]

[seriousbigtime]

[Upon hearing the knock, Peter heads to the front door and opens it. He glances up at the hat, a bit weirded out.]

...can I help you?

[the_wee_big_hag]

You wouldn't happen to be ....

[Glances at the note.]

Peter, would you?

[seriousbigtime]

[He blinks. Waking up in some weird town and people already know his name?]

Huh? Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's me.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Alright. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. But you look panicked so I suppose you just got here?

[This made a little more sense. The town was trying to get her to meet a new arrival?]

[seriousbigtime]

Er, yeah. I guess so. I just woke up here this morning.

[Again, his eyes dart up to the hat.]

You aren't here to tell me I'm a wizard or something, are you?

[the_wee_big_hag]

I very much doubt that.

I can tell you, Welcome to Mayfield, you've been kidnapped.

[seriousbigtime]

So we have been kidnapped? By who?

[the_wee_big_hag]

We're still trying to figure that out. Whoever brought us here is very powerful. We've been taken from different worlds and times and dropped here.

My name is Tiffany Aching, I'm a witch from the Discworld. Feel free to ask me any questions. But if we could avoid the "that's impossible" route. I think things will go along much quicker.

[seriousbigtime]

Uh, right. Right, okay. My name's Peter Parker---wait, you know that already. The card.

So... were you sent here to see me or something?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes. Apparently it's because you're..."a square". I'm not really sure what that means. But knowing Mayfield it's probably just a way to get people to talk to the new people.

[seriousbigtime]

...not even here for an hour, and already I'm a square. It's like Midtown High all over again. Sheesh.

[the_wee_big_hag]

I'll take it that means something.

Anyway. The general things are. The people who smile constantly and pretend this is all normal are called drones. If you act too out of line here. They will make you act like a drone. You have to go to school as well. Miss more then three days and you will be droned.

You can die here but you just wake up in your bed the next day. Don't drink the milk that the milkman leaves and remember to use common sense.

Any questions?

[seriousbigtime]

[He just kind of stares blankly. This is a lot to take in. Brainwashing? Poisoning? Forced schooling? Death?]

Uh... has anyone ever been able to escape this place?

[the_wee_big_hag]

[She realizes this. Which is why she just waits patiently.]

I'm afraid not. People have returned home but we only know this because they then come back here later. And since time doesn't work properly here...

Well for example the town sent me home and I was there for three years. However I woke up back here learning that only a day had passed.

[seriousbigtime]

Seriously? That's crazy!
