[The video opens to a teenager with a half buzz cut, half shoulder length blonde hair, and a mischievous look on her face. The room is dark, but even in the darkness, the shimmer of dozens of balloons of all colors can be seen behind her. When she starts talking, it's a whisper.]

So today's Peter's 17th birthday, so we're going to surprise him.

[She spins the camera, and zooms in on the sleeping Peter. He's flopped haphazardly on the bottom bunk of a bunkbed, limbs in all different directions, and yep, he's absolutely snoring right now. Gwen's giggles can be heard even before she turns the camera back on herself, but then she places the tablet down in a spot that can catch a full view of him and the room, then approaches the bed quietly. She's got a small device in her hand, and as she sits on the edge of the bed, she pushes the button. Suddenly, half a dozen confetti cannons explode, littering the entire room with the colorful plastic.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PETER!!!

(To be awaken so gently... A number of things happen, all very quick - one is that he jumps out of the bed, but webs to the ceiling, where he sticks to, his Iron Spider Suit embracing his figure before he notices all the confetti-- and he drops from the ceiling with goggled eyes on a sleepy face, before a waterfall of laughter leave him, the suit retracting to leave him in his pajamas.)

Very good, I've definitely been got-- oh, you're filming?! Uh, I guess-- Should we invite people to come watch movies here? Or, well, somewhere... Else, because like, we can't host more than 2, so I guess-- Ah, we'll figure it out.

[Gwen's laughter fills the room the second Peter's awake, especially when the spider-suit appears. It was perfect. She's still laughing as she moves to grab her tablet, spinning the camera to face her again.]

We'll be having a bad movie marathon at the club building today, so everyone feel free to join us! We'll have some soda and popcorn, but if you want any other snacks, you're on your own. Thanks for watching! And make sure you send Peter the most obnoxious birthday wishes today!

[ooc: Gwen is teal, Peter is red! Replies will come from both of them! Also backdated to yesterday, 8/10!]

What the-

[Ever just stop to watch a random video and see a huge celebrity pop up out of nowhere? Because that's how Morph is feeling right now.]

IS THAT SPIDER-MAN?!

[It's always Spider-Man that they recognize, isn't it?

But very interesting, there's someone else here that's from a dimension with spider-people.]

Um. Yep. That sure is.

More places with Spider-people? We're not comics this time, right, are we?

(sometimes, you just gotta know.)

What the heck, how did I not know Spider-Man is here?! That's huge!

But hey, happy birthday! And no, you're definitely real? Let's just say I understand what it's like to get a lot of bad press.

I just thought he'd be older...

Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are here. Just. Saying, and all.

[no one ever knows her :(]

It's probably just a dimensional thing? I've met some Spider-Men that were older. We're just on the younger end of the spider-people scale.

(he wants to make the point SHE'S NOT SUITED UP, but he will bite his tongue for now...)

Are we? What's the average Spider-Age?-- wait, what do you mean bad press? I don't have any bad press?

(yet........ give it 2 movies.)

Whoa!! Happy birthday man. I'm so there!! Also, you're Spider-Man??

Hey, there's more than one? That's pretty cool! And you know, uh, I might've just assumed. About the age thing. [yeeep they sound pretty embarrassed right then.]

Do you not read the newspaper? Well, don't worry about it. I'm with the X-Men up in Westchester, so we're kind of like distant neighbors!

[are you serious, he knows Spider-Man too??]

Um-- yeah. He sure is. And please, come by! It's gonna be lit.

Um. Well, I can think of two that were in their twenties? And another that was like. Late thirties? But now I know of four of us that are teenagers, and I'm not really sure how to quantify ages of pigs, so that still averages out to...20ish? [Yes she sure did just make up a bunch of numbers in her head and do the math on the spot. Just nerd things.]

Oh, does J. Jonah Jameson not talk crap about you constantly? Lucky. [..Everyone did think she killed the Peter Parker in her world, so. Bad press. Whoops.]

Yeah, sorry, no idea who the X-Men are. At least, other than what Scott and Kurt have told me here. I'm assuming you know them?

(good enough for him!)

I mean, no? I have normal press? They usually talk about the Avengers like, way more than me.

And yeah, I'm with her, man. Mutants don't exist for me either, but I know about it because of Scott, right, so there's a world where the Avengers and X-Men coexist? Insane...!

Yeah, wow, one more?

I trust Gwen's good bad taste, I don't even know what's on the list.

Wow! Um, that's real cool! I guess Spiders of a feather, they... spider together?

[That feel apart quickly. Kurt blinks.]

Wait, what's gonna be lit? ...Oh right the birthday cake! Aw yeah, those candles are gonna be so lit!

You... don't have mutants? [Yeah, Morph sounds pretty disturbed about that one. Maybe there's an innocent reason, but the implications are... bad.]

Uh, yeah, Scott and Kurt are from different timelines, but we're talking about the same team. There's definitely something to that idea about differing ages.

She really got you good, man. Happy birthday though.

[Peter's birthday, huh...? He didn't even know, but Scott finds himself chiming in-- and there's something less forced about him doing so. Bothering Peter about his birthday is a nice distraction and it's fun seeing them together like this.]

But come on, you can't have bad movie night without Twizzlers and Milk Duds. Also do we have a slushy machine around? Because ICEEs.

Hm. [There's amusement in Vincent's tone.]

Happy Birthday, Peter. I will join if you would like.

Not like...naturally? We both got our powers from mutations, but it wasn't something we were born with?

[She figures that doesn't count, so. Nope. No mutants.]

Scott told me some of his friends from home were here, but from different timelines. It's weird, right?

I guess we do tend to find each other? [She's met how many spider-people now?? They were literally pulled across dimensions to each other, so. Yeah. They "spider together."]

Uhhh. Yeah. Sure. Let's go with that. [not what she meant, but she doesn't feel like explaining her modern slang. Funny how most of her friends here were either from years in the past or years in the future.]

Does this mean you're offering to bring them? Thanks so much!

[She kidding! Mostly.]

Actually, ICEEs really would be amazing. Where would they even have them around here? Gas stations, maybe? Is there even one of those wholesale retailers?

Not to sound like I'm speaking for him, but he'd love for you to come.

[she's really dating mr. popular, isn't she? who in aldrip doesn't he know?]

Thank you, Gwen. I think we both know him well enough that you'd be right to say that.

Should... I bring anything?

Geez, really pulling my arm here. I guess.

[Just because it's Peter's birthday.] There's bound to be one in the shops around the city right? This place is always changing anyway, I'd feel completely gypped if we didn't get one of those.

Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, if there are mutants, they are unknown to the public and stuff.

... Web together?

(he's helping.)

It means really cool.

You gotta come, no option, Mr. Valentine. We might finally watch The Grinch.
