[Action]
Who: Peter Parker / Peter Parkour Spider-Man
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: Multiple flavors! Duotera mostly, but Spidey will also be out making some credits on Philias and Ebrion
When: 1/26 and onward
[Duotera] Option 1A: Shutterbug!
[He might have looked like he was holding it together pretty well, but Pete was definitely freaking out. In a good way, admittedly- it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone who knew the little nerd that he was basically happier than a kid in a candy store right about now. Sure, this wasn't the first time he'd been on an alien world- he did do a little exploring back on the last planet, but this one was on a completely different level. And much busier.
So it won't be too uncommon to find him with a permanent smile on his face, weaving his way through the crowds with his camera. He's practically glued to it- taking pictures of everything from the crowds, the skyline, the parks, heck he even pays a visit to some big trade convention going on and gets shots of all the action. He doesn't really know what he'll do with them, since he doesn't even have the ability to download any of the pictures he's taking, but...well, at this point it's just a way to contain his excitement.
It's tourist season, and it doesn't seem like the locals mind him much- especially since he does at least have the sense to keep out of people's way and apologize when he ends up underfoot- but maybe lend a helping hand and force him to take a break once in a while? Or you know, strike a pose and ham it up for the camera. He'd likely be fine with either!]
[Duotera] Option 2A: D-List Superhero
[Okay, so maybe this big city was a little different from the one he was used to- certainly more of a normal bustling metropolis instead of, say, a giant concrete and steel zoo for the criminally insane- but that didn't mean an enterprising superhero couldn't save the day! It was just in decidedly more mundane ways. But those heroics were important to somebody all the same!
Which is why it's not all that uncommon to see some guy in red and blue tights swinging around the city, doing not-so-glamorous things like returning someone's dropped bag or a nicked wallet. Or rescuing weird blue cats from trees. Or even saving some poor alien kid's kite from a kite-eating tree in the park. Those "rescues" took a little more care in the approach, since there wasn't a whole lot to swing from- he was certainly cutting it close to head-level every time he crossed over one of the foot paths.
Heck, at one point, he could even be found helping reinforce some weird alien hanging sculpture in the Crafter's Hall after some cables started to fray and snap. A relatively small-scale disaster that, sure, while some of the bigger pieces could have hurt someone if they fell, still felt a lot more like being a super-handyman more than a superhero. Still, the orange-skinned artist down below seemed to be grateful for the assist, even if it did mean Spidey spent an awful lot of time just swinging and scurrying back and forth across the ceiling keeping everything in place until more permanent repairs could be finished.
But hey, it seemed like a few people actually liked the webbed-up look! Shame it wouldn't last forever- even on Earth, his webs tended to break down over time, but it seemed to happen even faster on this planet. So enjoy the unexpected collaboration while you can!]
[All] Option B: Special Delivery!
[Hey, even superheroes have to pay the bills. And considering he was still relatively new to this side of the multiverse (and way behind the curve when it came to the tech involved), he didn't have a whole lot of skills to bargain with.
So hey, your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is... making deliveries. Nothing huge of course, since he's delivering everything by hand, just the little things people couldn't seem to do without- or just couldn't be bothered to go get themselves. Either due to the crowds, the weather, or the desire to have whatever it was they wanted right that instant.
Though, speaking of weather, Ebrion in particular was certainly doing a number on him, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more pitiful sight than a superhero shivering uncontrollably and trying to keep his teeth from chattering. Although considering the massive cold shock that came from swinging through the air in freezing temperatures, at least he's kept wide awake and plenty alert of his surroundings.
Take that, overpriced space coffee! ...but seriously, as far as his time on Ebrion is concerned, he could really go for some overpriced space coffee. He'd even accept space tea, or space hot cocoa at a small but no less arbitrary mark-up! So long as it was something hot.]

She jumps and turns to face him, eyes wide and bright.]
Oh, there you are! You're really fast, you know? I couldn't keep up at all.
[she's wandering over to try and get a better look at him- or more specifically, his costume.]
no subject
Still, harmless as Uraraka might seem, this is still well outside the behavior he's used to. And this is still an unfamiliar and very much unwelcome situation- intergalactic kidnapping and all. So he doesn't stay fully upright for long, and quickly drops down to a posture that'd let him quickly leap away if need be. Almost squatting, really- even if he's keeping at least one hand on the ground. The costume's not really anything special, either- if anything it's probably a whole lot simpler than what she's probably used to. More or less just a full body suit of tights with a web motif and a little stylized spider emblem in the center of the chest. Also little web-themed wings under the arms, probably to assist with any aerial acrobatics.
And while his new posture might seem a little on the defensive side, he's not being overly defensive here- just enough to keep his options open. He's at least not backing away or preparing for any sort of fight.]]
Well, faster than most, but let's not get carried away. Gravity's doing most of the work- well, I mean, gravity and inertia, and... nevermind.
[With the right circumstances- and grip strength- she wouldn't be much slower. For one swing, anyway. He could swing around all day, but Pete didn't have any illusions about just how exhausting it'd be for most people to attempt more than just your basic Tarzan swing.]
So, uh... girlie... [he was not the best at this- his interactions were usually more spur-of-the-moment when he was in costume, at least as far as anyone not in a costume was concerned. Usually not much more than just making sure everyone was unharmed. And things were usually much more dangerous, so any social failures could be overlooked.]
How can your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man be of assistance? I mean, I gotta say, this is easily the most laid-back metropolis I've ever seen, but that's okay! I will absolutely help with the small stuff!
[Until the Big Stuff happens, anyway, but this city's been remarkably peaceful so far. He had yet to see a single lunatic in an outlandish costume wreaking havoc, it was both incredibly nice and incredibly boring, all at once.]
no subject
Spider-Man, is that your codename? It's very fitting, I like it! And I love your costume, too... so colourful. I don't really need help or anything, I just wanted to watch what you were doing. Are you on patrol?
no subject
[Although he can just feel Jameson getting his dander up over it, back in whatever corner of the multiverse he came from. He's also going to just spring off to the side to get some space again, though he's at least being polite about it- he's still sticking fairly close, and he does have a reason prepared for it. And for why he seems to be circling around Ochako and giving her outfit the same scrutiny, even though it didn't really look like it was any sort of hero costume.]
Well, I was, but like I said- not a whole lot happening. Might've got my hopes up a little, hearing stories of planets way worse than this one.
[And he's gonna just keep right on circling around- and he seems weirdly at ease moving around low to the ground on all fours like that. Clearly the name didn't just come from the webs.]
How'd you get up here, anyway? I'm not hearing any tech- and I'll be honest, not seeing a lot of places to hide it. I mean, even Vulture had that hump on his back just to power his, and that was the smallest hover tech in town.
no subject
[It's about as far from a costume as one can get; she's very clearly wearing civvies, which probably makes her appearance here even stranger. Once she notices that he's keeping a safe distance, she stops trying to approach, though it doesn't keep her from looking.]
I don't hover, I float! I can get rid of gravity when I touch something.
no subject
Seriously? Like, pat yourself on the back and you float? Heh, cool!
[It might be hard to read any kind of facial expressions through that mask, but he's used to that and usually finds other ways to emote in-costume- he even perks up a bit just to give her something visual to work with- and, lame jokes aside, he is impressed.
Because he's a nerd.]Man, you get close enough, you could probably handle half my menagerie of malicious meatheads easier than I can- or at least make Rhino float around like the world's dumbest parade float.
[A mental image that will not be leaving him anytime soon, thanks. Just let him enjoy it for a while.]
no subject
[Holy crap is this guy a pro? He sounds way too young for that, and she's immediately intrigued.]
Are you someone's sidekick? Don't tell me they make you fight villains all by yourself.
[She will give them a very stern talking to on your behalf, buddy.]
no subject
Well, nobody makes me- hold on, sidekicks? You have those? And actual superheroes to show 'em the ropes?
[And Spider-Sulk is a go- he'll even move back up to a crouch just to cross his arms and make his displeasure with the universe visible]
Now I definitely feel cheated. You got superhero mentorships, and all I got was some comic books and one heck of a difficulty curve!
no subject
[what the heck?? is this guy from like, in the early-Quirk era of his world? Because that sounds terrifying. She can't imagine fighting villains alone.]
Um, I guess that means you don't have a school for it, either...
no subject
[Well, there's her answer.]
Oh I am so choosing your world over mine when this show's over.
[Well, not really- tempting as it is- but incredibly unfair revelations aside, he's still gotta do what he can to keep Peter Parker and Spider-Man's personalities as separated as possible. Especially since he has no way of knowing if the network might blow his cover on its own.]
no subject
[She fishes around in her pocket for a moment and draws out a her provisional license, the design similar to Deku's but with the obvious change of displaying her personal info as well as the hero name "Uravity".]
no subject
Please tell me you don't show this to everyone. Or anyone- not that I can read any of it, but still...
[He'll put his antics on hold for now and stand up like a normal person- mostly just because, where he comes from? This is sorta something he'd never do and honestly he's kind of horrified on her behalf, here.
Even if their respective worlds operate under WILDLY different rules for the whole superhero thing]Did any of the people teaching you kids go over the point of a secret identity?! Alias, costume, that's it! People figure out any more than that, things get ugly!
no subject
What? No way! Vigilantes are super illegal! If anyone caught me doing that I'd be in big trouble, and it's way more dangerous to start doing hero stuff without any training!
[Why would she not show off her card?? She's so proud of it!]
no subject
[He's going to take a pause here so he can quiet down a bit- don't wanna wake up the other side of the planet, and it's not her fault her universe is crazy.
Deep breaths, webhead.]
Look, I get that last part- I really wish I'd had somebody to show me the ropes before going out, believe me.
[Though part of him does doubt there's a class on how to deal with henchmen in attack choppers- he's had a fun learning curve and it's weird knowing there's apparently lesson plans about this stuff.]
If you really gotta carry that thing around, fine- obviously, things are... different where you come from. But one costumed hero to another- I mean, I hope have one- supervillains aren't exactly known for playing fair. They ever figure out who you are, that doesn't mean they'll come gunning for you. Some of 'em go straight for the people around you first.
no subject
Villains weren't really that serious a problem until recently, though? There are enough heroes around to cover just about any disaster that comes along. And since almost everyone has Quirks, it's not like a hero's family is totally helpless, either.
[She tucks her card back into her pocket where it belongs.]
I guess things are changing now, since it's getting more dangerous... but it's kinda late for our class to keep things a secret.
no subject
Okay, bridge to cross later, if that's ever a thing I guess. Most everybody here seems harmless enough anyway, it's fine.
[Even if he definitely doesn't like it. He can at least keep an eye out in less obvious ways in the meantime, and maybe size up what she can do in the process. Heck he might be worrying over nothing for all he knows.]
Wisdom of hero licenses aside, you wanna, I dunno... go on patrol? I've never really had the chance to work with another hero before. Even for the little stuff.
[Well, not with one that didn't end up trying to put him in a morgue, anyway. And Ochako at least seemed to have a good head on her shoulders, and not trying to crush his. Which was a plus.]
no subject
Just look at the way her eyes light up at the suggestion. Clearly he chose well.]
Oh my gosh, yes! I totally do! I don't have my costume, though- ah, can you wait? I can grab it, it'll just take a little bit- don't go far!
[Then she turns around and runs right off the roof before he can answer. You better not vanish, Spidey, or she'll be pissed!]
no subject
oh, right. Floaty powers. No need to chase after.
He'll still be around once she comes back, it's...a slow day, really. And since he's not about to start webbing people up for jaywalking, he'll just be killing time exploring the block from the rooftops...or anything else relatively high up. He's not opposed to just hanging out under light posts or under a particularly tall tree, and at least staying up high means she should have an easier time finding him again.]
no subject
She comes running back a short while later after a quick trek to her ship, decked out in her costume, as promised. She spots him on the light post and halts beside it, looking up at him with a wave.]
Ta-da! I'm ready!
