(all over aldrip, you will find this ugly poster, made by yours truly, with his username written right below it. it's literally just @ peterparker. he also posted it on the network, although he writes nothing else, only:)

Message to @peterparker, from @pr.heimerdinger

[donger]

[ Heimerdinger is still very new to Aldrip, so one of the ways he's been passing the time is by taking walks around the city— his "little jaunts," he calls them— to map it out both on foot and also in his head. On these jaunts of his, he begins to see the same poster pasted up in various places around town. At first, he doesn't pay it any mind, but then after seeing it twice, thrice... fourice? He eventually devices to give it a peek. And lo! He's excited by what he sees! ]

Dear Mr. Peter Parker,

I do hope you are the same young Mr. Parker whom I spoke with on the solstice night. I am very interested in "checking out" your STEM Club, that I have seen advertised about town! When and where can I attend a meeting?

Yours in science,
Professor Heimerdinger

[spidermenaces]

Professor, sir!!
Yes, I'm the Peter Parker you met
I think
I don't know if you met the other one
But
First of all
How have you been?
Good? Is this place giving you any trouble, sir?
I hope not
Hey actually are you still at the inn

(the boy RAMBLES...)

So remember the lab I took you to
It's there
You can just come through the door there's always someone there!

Uh
Sincerely,
Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman

[donger]

I was not even aware that there was another Peter Parker to meet! Is he much similar to yourself?

I have been settling in fine. I am still at the inn for now, but I will shortly be relocating to stay with a pupil of mine from Runeterra who has offered me accommodations.

Ah, yes, I am familiar! I will avail myself to your lab's services, then!

[spidermenaces]

Yeah there is!
He's uh taller
And I think he's similar to me
We are both Peter Parker
But not in appearance we look really nothing alike?
Like zero
Look

Oh so you're not alone
That's great professor
Really really great
... Who is that again?

Yes! There are quite a few people but really everyone is welcome
Even if they don't know the first thing about science
We're okay teachers
Probably not professor-level right
But okay

@peterparkour

[spidermenaces]

Dude
Did you meet the professor
You gotta meet the professor
He's... Very cute

(he has no other way of putting this.)

[spideyguy]

who?
what?
aren't you...?
i mean its cool if you

like
me too
uh

[ Does he think Peter is telling him he's bisexual? Maybe. Is he supremely awkward about it, like he is about everything else? DEFINITELY. ]

[spidermenaces]

... OH
No
I mean
I don't know????
I never tried??
I mean I am sure it's fine
I just don't know
I think
Yes?
Dude shut up

That's also not what I mean
I mean like
Literally cute
Like a plushie kind of cute? Like
A fluffy... Rabbit

[spideyguy]

never?
i mean not that you have to
gold stars arent a thing
you don't have to try to uh
know
you know?
like with
stuff
and the internet

[ Oh my god, stop talking Peter. ]

what
what does that mean
how was i supposed to know that ????
also *what*

[computation]

I don't know whether to throw you both a coming out party or just despair.

[arachnerina]

[Glad to know she's not the only one losing her mind over this.]

🍿🍿🍿
i vote a party
we should be so proud of them!

[At least this bisexual is very much aware of it and has been.]

[eternalcutie]

[after seeing the fliers everywhere, and seeing it on the network, czeslaw just can't resist asking. should he try to get involved in whatever a stem club is when it could be full of scientists eager to dissect a poor innocent immortal? probably not. is he curious enough to inquire anyway? oh yes.]

I'm not familiar with S.T.E.M., what does it mean?

[spidermenaces]

Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics

[eternalcutie]

Interesting. What kind of science do you do in your club?

[ashaya]

[ Where does he begin with this... Signage. ]

[ ... ]

If I might make a suggestion?

[ He'll make a suggestion regardless. This isn't a question. He's being helpful. ]

[spidermenaces]

Well
Obviously

[ashaya]

[ Expecting something, perhaps, snarky?

Not today. ]

Given the diverse needs of those within Aldrip proper, I believe our efforts would be best supplemented by the use of further visual aids and other accessibility features. While occasionally insufficient and otherwise outmoded by my position, providing alternative methods of acquiring the information therein (e.g., verbal transmission, tactile text systems) may expand our base without much increased effort on our part.

Moreover, particular hands may augment visual comprehension and decoding. I have sent over a sampling to "highlight" what I mean.

[ Attached are actually... Scripts that are easier for most people to read. Huh. ]

[thenicerone]

...

I suppose? I wouldn't mind learning more about science!

[spidermenaces]

What are you interested in?

[thenicerone]

I suppose anything.

I'm willing to learn what human science is like.

[grappler]

what are you, 12? are you going to make a volcano science project?

[..... sorry.]

[spidermenaces]

Well I am now

[grappler]

[oh my God]

definitely 12. if you're part of the nerd brigade, aren't you supposed to be smarter than all that?

un: jayce

[scientits]

Sorry, is this meant to be advertising for members to join your club, or are you looking for tutors? And are you interested in a specific field of study, or is it just any science will do?

[ because this kinda looks like it may have been written by an eight-year old?? not that jayce is judging, he's always in support of encouraging kids to take interest in the sciences, he just wants to know what he's getting into. also if it's tutoring, maybe he'll actually get paid. ]

[spidermenaces]

No no we are tutors
I mean
If the people who come need tutors
We're always willing to teach
We had someone who did these
But he's gone

And I know they suck and stuff but at least it gets people talking and maybe more people would come see
Kinda like
On-purpose bad marketing
Companies do that a lot

And uh we are all from different fields
I'm mechanical/electrical engineering mostly, we got biochem, we got programmers, we got the whole thing

[scientits]

On purpose bad marketing? That really works? I'll have to try that next time we need funding....

[ furiously scribbling down notes...anything to get him out of galas ]

Oh, another engineer, that's great! I specialize primarily in mechanical engineering and quantum/waveform physics, and I have expertise in metallurgy and crystallography. I'd love to exchange ideas - I'm unfamiliar with the electronics in this world, and I could use a refresher on bioengineering and biochem.
