[It's a softspoken man on the network tonight, one presently struggling to cope with a world of disappointment and anxiety. There's some stammering at the start of the message, but as he collects himself enough to share information, his cadence relaxes and grows more confident. This isn't about him right now. It's about everyone else.]


Pardon me -- if I could have everyone's attention for a moment? I'm sure we've all gotten a glimpse of what's gone on. I've some reason to believe that this might be a particular incident related to -- well -- that's not important. But I'd like to urge everyone to be mindful of the level of air presently available to you. As long as the number of available rooms continues to be infinite, it ought to be possible to make it through without incident as long as we stay in motion as necessary, provided that the doors continue to resist the rules of water pressure upon opening. I've done some calculations using what we know of the average unclaimed room. I believe that humans ought to be able to sustain themselves without incident for about eight hours without incident, though this is most likely variable for those of you with alternative physiologies. With that in mind, we may wish to consider that longterm planning might be an element to our survival. We may have to make efforts to organize our activities and movements to ensure we can all stay prepared for the week ahead of us.

[He pauses to take a breath, squeezing his fingers into his palm before continuing.]

Please be aware that since the oxygen-to-square-footage ratio provided is a rough estimate that may be impacted by people collecting together in groups, vigilance will also be important when it comes to recognizing the early signs of oxygen deprivation. If you notice an increase in heart rate or shortness of breath, please consider setting yourself into motion sooner rather than later. The same applies if you're with others and notice dilation of the pupils, or that they've started to display visible motor impairment.

I also hope that we can utilize the network to communicate distress when needed. I'll be in touch with a few of you soon with regards to some plans for relief and rescue.

Let's see if we can't all make it out of this in one piece, yeah?

Your webbing is water-insoluble. How much do you have on hand?

Please tell me that the answer is "a lot".

I hope it isn't gauche to contact you this suddenly, but I believe there might be some need of you soon.

Can I count on you?

[It's a highly loaded question.]

[OOC: I think I'm also going to use this as Fitz's catch-all for the event this time around, so feel free to throw action-sized stuff in here too if we've discussed anything that ought to take place later on.]

But you got dragged to this place? Yeah.

[She still hates this place, but she can't let that consume her. Not now.]

If it does I'm pretty sure we're all screwed.

[Daisy nodded in understanding, but, it was going to bother her if she didn't get an answer.]

I have to ask. Why the suit?

[saved]

We've just gotta learn how to surf.

[He's... joking. Surfing would not save them. Ahem. The question makes him pause though. Mostly because he doesn't think anyone's ever asked him that before.]

What do you mean?

[morethan084]

We'd have to get surf boards in order to do that.

[She can play along with his joke idea.]

Well, I'm assuming the mask is for protecting your identity but wouldn't everyone here know exactly who you are?

I mean, yeah, there's a decent amount of people here, but...

Plus that's going to be a bitch to take off now that it's soaking wet.

[saved]

Back in New York City, it's more for protecting my identity. I don't- I don't really worry about it as much here, because there are a lot of people with super powers. Less chance for one enemy to come after me and then hurt all the people I care about.

The spandex's more aerodynamic, and it's just-

It's easier? When I don't have the suit on, I'm Peter Parker, and I'm- [He waves a hand vaguely, trying to indicate a lot with a little. He rambles. He doesn't have the same amount of confidence. He's used to fading into the background and trying not to be noticed.] Mask just makes me able to be what I have to be to help people.

I get some people can do it without it.

[morethan084]

Oh.

[She upset him hadn't she? At least that's how she took it. Hard to tell with the lack of facial expressions to get a correct read.]

Sorry, never really thought about it like that.

[saved]

Hey, it's okay. Nobody ever asked me before.

Wasn't sure how to put it to words. [Peter slips his shoulders back, tilting his head to the side. His voice is pretty relaxed even if his expression remains hidden behind the mask still.]

I'm not actually great at words, despite what the red and blue flashy spandex might make you think. It's really just to cover for my inability to word.

[morethan084]

I don't know, I think you're doing okay.

[Daisy looked back to the 'webbing' that she was going to have to tie up around the place.]

Should probably get started on this though.

[saved]

You wanna borrow a web shooter?

Way speedier when it comes to web...design.

[morethan084]

[Oh my god.]

Uh, sure. Yeah.

...How long have you been waiting to make that joke?

[saved]

My whole life.

[long, long pause.]

Or y'know since I got bitten by a biologically engineered spider.

[a web shooter will be coming her way]

[morethan084]

...Right.

[Something she'd be asking about at another time.]

So how do I work this thing exactly?

[saved]

Slide it on to your wrist.

[Peter demonstrates with his remaining one, showing her where to press]

The button's activated through pressure by your fingers, but there's a bit of a kick to it. Otherwise, it's just point and shoot. Test it out before you take it for a ride.

[morethan084]

[Doing as she was told, Daisy then moved her arm around to make sure it wouldn't actually come off.

Pushing the button with her finger, Daisy felt her wrist jolt at an angle that set pain shooting up her arm. It wouldn't have been bad at all if her bones weren't shot to hell thanks to her powers. She does her best to cover up the pain she's feeling, although her voice is a bit tight.]

I think I got it. Don't want to waste too much when I don't have to.

...How much webbing is in this anyway?

[saved]

[Peter narrows his gaze at the tight sound to her voice though it's hard to tell because of the mask on his face, but he rolls his shoulders back a bit.]

It should be enough to cover the hallways and then some extra to build a swing in one of the rooms with to have fun after all that hardwork.

[He's joking.]

You... okay?

[morethan084]

Oh yeah. Because that'll work out well for me.

[Daisy had her own way of swinging around. Sort of. More like flying, but she's not about to get into that with him.]

I'm fine. Just want this to be over.

[Especially for Fitz and Simmons who she knew had to be struggling with all of this.]
