[party post] come sail away with me

[varymydays]

You've come through a door, and you are on a boat. Specifically, you're on a cruise ship in the middle of some giant body of water. You've come through the door behind you which is attached to nothing and may now be locked. It's relatively empty as giant as it appears to be. The only other passengers that are here appear to also have come through the door for the most part and it is not nearly enough to fill up this entire cruise ship.

Also, who knows who the hell is driving this thing since all of the employees appear to be either ghosts or holograms...

Is this your first time here or your hundredth time here? Do you want a drink or a dip in the pool? Is it day or night? Do you stumble on your room or some other situation either fun or painful within its many rooms, shops, and facilities? Do you run into someone you know or a complete stranger?

The possibilities are unlimited!

... Oh my God, did Spider-man just say he would've remembered Rafe if he'd met him? Rafe would swoon if he was capable of swooning, though he is mostly telling himself to hold it the heck together before Spider-man starts thinking he's weird.

That would be embarrassing.

"Oh! Oh, yeah, that -- that does sound like it would be real inconvenient." Spider-man needs to save the day, after all, and he can't quite do that if a ship has him held hostage. "If it helps, and I don't know if it's the same for you as it is for me, but when I get sent back, I'm sent back immediately to the moment I was first pulled away. So it's like no time has happened. Chances are, you'll be sent right back to the big chase and you can go and be badass."

Because yes, Spider-man is badass. And snarky. And all-round the very best, ok. Rafe is not ashamed to have his fanboying moments.

[themask]

Spider-man totally would have remembered you, Rafe! You seem to really like him and that rarely happens! No, that's not quite true. He does have some fans and some very-opposite-of-fans, but he is sure he would have remembered meeting him before had it happened.

But it didn't, and he is just staring at this door like his spidey-senses could knock it open.

"Badass?" For a half second, he sounds almost like Peter, tiny, almost shy smirk in his voice, and then it's gone again.

He tilts his head to the side. "It happened to me last time too, and it would help more if I wasn't mid-swing when I ended up here... so if I don't have some kind of running leap before ending back out there, I am probably going to fall flat on my face in the middle of the street and get run over by a car. Spidey pancake." He kicks the door and folds his arms across his chest. "Ow. That was dumb. I'm still badass, right?"

Bah. u.u Why does he always make such an idiot of himself? "I was gonna do the whole building on my own adrenaline thing but looks like I'm locked out so pancake is ahead for me. Or maybe I'll fall on a car."

[woundable]

"Well -- yeah, I mean. You're Spider-man," Rafe says, as if that explains everything. It could've easily been someone in a costume but Rafe knows that it's really him, web shooters and everything, and he likely knows more about Peter Parker's life than Peter would ever want him to, but he won't be saying this. It's just hard to contain your excitement when you're meeting your childhood hero, ok.

... And remember that he is just like you, a dumb teenage boy, in many ways, too.

The thought makes him smirk, but he is quick to assure Spider-man is still, effectively, a badass. "No one will be taking your superhero cred away," Rafe assures him, and a Spidey pancake would be a very, very bad thing.

Please don't go splat, Spidey.

"Or maybe you'll be able to swing yourself up and away to a rooftop in time! Keep the hope, man. Who... were you chasing, anyway?"

Peter laughs a bit, not at Rafe, but... he doesn't get much of a chance to talk to people in the suit. He's always zooming off somewhere, and it's strange almost to get the attention and this belief in him just for being Spider-man. It's not a bad strange at all. He remembers shortly after he started out, people would flip out over him, and he let it get to his head.

He tries not to do that anymore, but this is pretty cool.

Spider-man nods several times. "Good. I worked really hard for that cred, and they threaten to take it away from me like every other month," he says with a smirk.

Not that Rafe can see but y'know. The smirk is in the voice.

He laughs a bit cause the confidence in him is kind of reassuring. "The Vulture," Peter says sounding about as /done/ with the whole business as one can sound.

[woundable]

It is precisely why Rafe is thinking that he's pretty lucky right about now. It's not many people that have a chance to meet Spider-man up close, much less have a sustained conversation with him. Spidey is always needed elsewhere, after all. Rafe kind of wonders how he even has time to do things like eat and sleep when there are dangers all over and he's always off to the rescue.

Maybe he doesn't need sleep.

"If anything I think it helps with your cred once you take 'em down," Rafe says with a grin 'cause yeah, the confidence in Spider-man is strong in this one.

"Oh." Rafe makes a face. Vulture? What kind of super villain names are there now, these days? "He sounds like a blast and a half."

Except no, not really.

[themask]

That is totally right, Rafe! Peter Parker doesn't need sleep at all! Actually, he really wishes that were true. He can go longer than the average person without sleep, but he tends to go even longer than that and then ends up passing out, sprawled over his girlfriend at random hours of the night... sometimes morning.

He laughs softly at his reaction. "Man, why can't every New Yorker be like you?" There are not as many fans and confidence as y'know... there are people who are like wtf is this guy on? They also likely noticed the big trouble didn't fully start hitting the city until suddenly Spider-man. He doesn't know how he ends up creating as many superviillains as he does. He really doesn't.

There's a soft snort and a cocky tilt of the head. "Yeah. He's about as lame as he sounds," Spider-man says in agreement. "But the door's not opening anyway so."

Looks like he is stuck here in his spandex.

[woundable]

As an angel, Rafe needs less sleep than the average person as well, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love it. He loves his sleep. Sometimes a little bit too much. Then he thinks about everything Spider-man achieves in the span of twenty-four hours and well, it sort of puts your own productivity into perspective.

Hey, what'd you do today?

Passed out after playing a video game, man, what about you?

Just saved New York again, no big.

"Uh... maybe 'cause I'm technically from Chicago?" Rafe asks with a tiny smile. He's going to navigate this as best he can without outright lying, but Spider-man. No one understands the magnitude of this meeting, people. "Not that I'm gonna engage in a which is better scenario, 'cause no one ever wins those."

But they do have better pizza, js.

Rafe wrinkles his nose a bit and turns back to the door, his hands curling around the straps of his backpack he's still carrying. "So there's no like... time frame for it? It won't open or close after every so hours? We should pay attention just in case there is."

Peter loves sleep when he... gets the sleep, but he doesn't really get the sleep very often, because he tends to be pretty wound tight. Thankfully, he has his girlfriend, falling asleep with her is much easier than trying to live by himself and fall asleep then. He'd never be able to sleep, never let himself, wound up too tightly to relax.

Mary Jane has a very wonderful relaxing, centering effect on him though.

"Might be it, yeah," he says, and there's the sound of a smirky smile in his voice. "I should think about a move maybe. Chicago, windy cities, deep dish pizza, and people appreciate you."

Hey, Peter likes the deep dish pizza though okay he prefers the thin crust over all.

It'ts a thing. Peter shakes his head in answer. "That's a really smart idea, but I did that one of the first few times I came through out of sheer boredom, and there wasn't a pattern that I could see. Sucks."
