You look at the people surrounding you and give a guilty grin. “Well, I hate to interrupt, but it is Thanksgiving, this might not be the best time to talk about this, Norman.”

Norman Osborn pauses for a moment, then awkwardly clears his throat, seemingly embarrassed. “Ah. Right you are. My apologies. If you ever would like to talk further, you may always stop by Oscorp- I’m sure I’ll be able to spare time to talk with someone as bright as you.”

However, you’ve spent a decent amount talking and dinner’s just about wound up. Eddie, Harry and Norman are the first to leave- Norman and Harry for time concerns, and Eddie’s feeling a bit unwell. However, it seems like the Stacy family and the Watson family are likely to stay over for a little while longer- the Watsons only live next door, after all, and Captain Stacy wants to catch up with your uncle.

Besides, it might contain something Stella's better off not seeing. Such as the symbiote.

We already show her alot of shit.

And besides, If it the symbiote, she has to know after the fuck up future that we literally destroyed when we weren't there as spiderman and we then erase the future timeline, killing off the whole fucking universe in a single blow.

This include thor, Galactus and other beings.

You sit on the couch next to Felicia and Stella and talk- Uncle Ben and Captain Stacy are sitting around, talking about old hijacks they used to get up to all the time, their faces both a bit flushed. Meanwhile, your aunt and Anna Watson are dealing with the leftovers, dividing them up between the two households. There’s going to be thanksgiving leftovers to feast upon.

Nearby, Gwen’s trying to strike up, and failing, conversations with Mary Jane. To your side, Stella looks like she’s about to enter a food coma, with a satisfied smile on her face. On your other side, Felicia’s looking around and at you with a smile that seems somehow melancholic.

>>29565538
Oh, too late. Well, nevermind then.

>>29565442
Thanks. I'm curious to see what Parker Luck brings this time. And interact with best waifu.

Goddamnit Cosgrove, why'd you make Felicia so awesome! You actually made me waifu for the first time!
>>
>>29565575
Yes. First we use the first week of the timeskip on the Strong Webbing so it can stand up to super strength opponents, then use the second and thrid weeks to build Felicia the Grapple Bracers and give them to her as a Christmas present, then we use the fourth week to do whatever else, and it's on to the best holiday of the year (again)!
Not that I'm complaining of course.

You look over at Felicia, looking slightly concerned as you lower your voice. “Something on your mind?”

Felicia looks over at you as you see any signs of sadness on her face vanish as she shakes her head. “Hmm? No, nothing. Just thinking. Thanks for asking though. I’ll see if your aunt needs any help.”

She stands up and heads towards the kitchen as you watch her go. You feel Stella’s head slump against your shoulder as you look over at Captain Stacy.

“Excuse me, Mister Stacy, but-”

He raises an eyebrow. “Please, Peter. You call Norman Osborn by name and he’s someone you’re less acquainted with than I am. Call me George. Now, what’s up?”

Slightly, embarrsed, you chuckle nervously. “Well, I was curious what’s the current news on that Sandman crime wave, if you don’t mind?”

Some of his cheer drops as he lets out a sigh. “Alright, but this doesn’t leave this room. The guy’s not hurt anyone and he’s only taken money, without being caught. We’d have thought it was the Black Cat, but the lack of calling cards and theatrics, and the presence of sand seems to indicate someone else, perhaps someone inspired?”

He shakes his head. “Regardless, we don’t know who he is, which is only making things worse. If we hadn’t gotten that Goblin, I’d hate to se how badly those suits-”

He clears his throat. “Never mind that. Why don’t you all go and hang out, let you teenagers have fun without humoring us old people? We’ll keep an eye on the kiddo.”

Sounds about right. Maybe get some advice from aunt May for the earrings so they don't start thinking we're an absent minded boyfriend (well, not too absentminded) and then give her the grappling bracelets later in private.
>>
>>29565703
We don't have to go overboard. Besides, most of our money is coming from the money made from the sports almanac anyway. Let's not drain it all like that just give her what we made with our own two hands. She'll love us.

To the porch with Fe, Gwen and MJ.

We need to peel off Gwen for a minute before she leaves and tell her that while we understand how incredibly tempting jumping at the possibility of Meeting Dr. Octavius and maybe earning an internship under him or in one of Oscorp's other cutting edge labs, we might be able to set up an opportunity for her that's as strong but won't have her working among people that would happily exploit her if they know about the spider bite.

Then we need to talk to Sue and Doom about making that happen.

Low, because we probably hid it in the secret compartment we found it in.
>>
>>29566033
It. was. hidden.

We made a VERY good point to hide it for just that reason. If Cosgrove decides he found it, I will be extremely pissed.

We bugged the shit out of him to have Peter hide it in a place where it WOULD NOT be found. Don't even.

You glance at the others in the room, who shrug. “The porch?”

It’s as good of an idea as any other, so you find yourself with Mary Jane and Gwen on the porch, in the chilly night air. You all put on your coats, but there’s an awkward silence as you sit there with the two fo them. Mary Jane looks like she wants to hide insdie her coat like a turtle, while Gwen seems more than slightly uncomfortable.

Felicia had gone to help out your Aunt and Anna Watson, so you told you uncle and George Stacy to tell her where you were when she was done.

“Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-”

You try to think of something to say to avoid that horrible awkward silence. “How did you two enjoy having a Parker Thanksgiving?”

Mary Jane glances at you, then her arm, when away, shrugging. “….slright.”

Gwen notices but doesn’t say anything. “It wasn’t bad. Talking with Norman Osborn was a bit awkward, but the worst part was how Harry seems to be occasionally growing more and more irate as the night passed. I thought he was a nice enough guy, but I guess you can’t go by impressions.”

You grimace slightly as Gwen lets out a groan. “Sorry, Peter.”

You shake your head. “No, there’s nothing anyone here needs to apologize for. Harry’s turned into a total jerk. So, I’d probably advise against that offer you got, Gwen. All things considered.”

She nods, her face rather serious as she rubs the back of her hand, which you recall as the one she was bitten by the spider on.

“Yeah.”

If we do that, MJ is going to get angry or start crying again. What he did was dickish, but we need to talk to HIM about this before we start sticking up for him again.
>>
>>29567354
>[ ]Science talk with Gwen?
Might as well.

>>29567424
...In front of Mary Jane who doesn't know they are super heroes?

>>29567426
Keeping Gwen away from Osborns is good for her health.
>>
>>29567424
Did you forget MJ is right there? Seriously.

>>29567428
This is good. We get to know MJ more and see how Stella is adjusting.
>>
>>29567354
>>29567428
This. We be a good older brother.
>>
>>29567471
>Keeping Gwen away from Osborns is good for her health.
That would be meta-knowledge, but I suppose since we hate Norman because he killed our fucking parents I think Peter would discourage her from involving herself with them.

>>29567428
This is good.
>>
>>29567516
>Keeping her away from Harry because of shit his father pulled
That's being a pretty shitty friend, do we blame Harry for killing our parents too now?
>>
>>29567428
Sure, I'm gonna support this.

>What animes does she like?
Video games even. It's been established that Stella liked those in the Bad Future Arc.
>>
>>29567428
Yea i support this,
>>
>>29567564
He made it pretty clear how he felt about us, MJ and how he would possibly go after Gwen just to spite us. If he didn't want people to ditch and avoid him he shouldn't have been a total cunt.
>>
>>29567354
>>[ ]Talk with Mary Jane about something? (write in)

potential Cyber Monday deals
>>
>>29567516
>That would be meta-knowledge
...Yeah, you're right. Right now though, I imagine Peter's not going to be gung-ho for maintaining Harry's relationship with Gwen after that thing Harry said about asking out Gwen just to piss off Peter.
>>
>>29567634
and unless Gwen gets into a really weird spot in her life I doubt she'll be dating Harry any time soon.
although I wouldn't rule out Stella or Felicia as bridge bait
>>
>>29567628
Oh god, not this shit again.

People say mean shit they don't mean when they're angry, you don't kill a friendship after one fight because someone needs a scapegoat to let his frustrations out. What kind of shitty friend are you?
>>
>>29567698
Yeah, we give him space
>>
>>29567698
And we don't just just fall at his feet begging for his forgiveness like you seem to want. He was a total cunt, plain and simple. If he comes around and apologises, so be it. Until then ignore him.
>>
>>29567564
I think it was originally more about minimizing Gwen's exposure to Harry's dad because he killed our parents (Yes, yes, Harry's blameless on that) and would happily dissect Gwen to figure out how to replicate Spiderpowers. However, since Harry's become a total jerk over the last month I'd say we'd probably discourage her hanging out with him because it's unlikely that she'd enjoy it. That's being a good friend to Gwen.
>>
>>29567804
Where did I say we should go crawling to his feet begging for mercy, point it out for me.

I said stick up for him because he's our friend, not go bawl out eyes out on the dirt in front of him.
>>29567808
We don't have to encourage her to hang out with him, but standing up for friends seems like the kind of thing Peter does. I'm not saying we try to get them to hang out, but we don't need to let people insult our friends.
>>
>>29567698
One that realized that what Harry needs right now is some space to deal with his demons. Us butting in and trying to be supportive is only going to distract and anger him and will probably prolong this weird phase he's going through.
>>
>>29567861
I didn't fucking say to butt in, I said to stand up for him. Not to walk in and start kissing his ass.

You know there's a noticeable difference between the two
>>
>>29567856
>Standing up for friends seems like the kind of thing Peter does.
While this is mostly true I don't think Peter would stand up for a friend when they're in the wrong. Harry's not in a good way right now, true, but that doesn't really excuse his behavior.
>>
>>29567856
Yeah, sure. Cause it's not like Peter isn't pissed either and would rather not touch on the topic of Harry at that moment. But no, he needs to defend his friend who was a total dick just recently.

>>29567907
Exactly this.
>>
>>29567931
Exactly. Getting past Harry being an asshole is in character and a decent thing to do. Doing that in a couple hours is reaching.
>>
>writing
>>
>>29567904
You do realize that in this scenario Pete was just using Harry's outburst and attitude to cover for the underlying danger that is Norman? Gwen caught that by the way.
>>
Awful quiet tonight.
>>
>>29568273
Is it? There's always a lull when Cosgrove has declared that he's writing and we don't have anything further to say at the moment.
>>
>>29568273
Almost... too quiet...

So, anybody read the latest Daredevil? Pretty surprising ending.
>>
>>29568273
Waiting for Cos to drop a shoe on us.
>>
There’s a part of you that wants to defend your friend, but you stomp it down, considering what we said about the people that you’re with right now.

You look over at Mary Jane. "I don't think I ever asked, but what kinds of things do you do with Stella when she's over at your house? What sort of things does she like?”

Mary Jane blinks at you, staring curiously as you see her eyes become less guarded and a small smile crosses her lips. “We play a lot of things that are co-operative, such as party games or fighting games, or the old team sidescrollers. We also watch some anime here and there, too.”

Hey voice is still the scratchy voice, but she doesn’t seem to have the hesitancy to talk about her spending time with Stella. You nod and smile. “I appreciate you spending time with Stella, she seems to really enjoy it.”

Mary Jane embarrassedly nods and smiles, a pleased look on her face. Your brotherly concerns out of the way, you spend some time discussing science-y stuff with Gwen. Gwen seems rather impressed with how you’ve branched out your learning as she corrects you on a few mistakes you make concerning biology.

Time passes as Mary Jane, occasionally buts in to ask about something that sounds familiar to her as the two of you explain it to her as best as you can, but eventually the cold seems to start to bother you three as it gets later into the night.

Should probably need to carry Stella back to her room if she's already asleep, and Uncle Ben might not be sober at this point and I'm guessing Aunt May would be exhausted by now.

Head in and see what Felicia's up to.
>>
>>29568493
I say we do that with Felicia and Gwen.

I really want to get to the bottom of why Felicia was looking so down though. Part of me says that if it's really bothering her, she'll talk about it when she's ready, but experience tells me otherwise.

Well I clearly think so since I name dropped it, but you should probably ask /co/ or just pick up the first issue (pretty sure Image still has a buy back program for those if you're unsatisfied). Still, neither here nor there at this point.

>>29568600
I'd say Stella is doing a better job of it than we are.

Rule-63 Kid Loki's got game.
>>
>>29568652
Yeah, we can introduce her to Sue Storm before she examines her for complications from the spider bite like she did for us.
>>
>>29568659
Oh god. I just thought of something. What kind of weird hijinks is Stella going to get up to when she gets older. We don't need any more multi-legged or world-killing beasts around.
>>
>>29568469
This, and offer to walk her home, if she's walking.
>>
>>29568720
Depends on how we raise her. I think we've done a fine job of not fucking up. Yet.
>>
>>29568720
Well, she probably will want to be come a costumed crime-fighter like her brother. Great power great responsibility and all that. Besides, personality-wise Stella doesn't seem the type that gives it up as much as 616 Loki. (We could be dealing with MCU Loki (like we are Stark) and he has no kids as far as we know.)
>>
>>29568616
I read a few Image comics. Invincible, Manifest Destiny, Walking Dead. I tend to like Marvel stuff better, but I do like the sheer variety Image has and wish Marvel would spread out from capes a bit more.
>>
So was Felicia kind of gloomy because she remembered how she used to spend Thanksgiving with her family, but now can't because her parents are DEEEAAAAAAD
>>
>>29568787
Yeah, I've never read any Marvel comics really. I'm going off mythology Loki here.
>>
>>29568787
Loki has a few kids....

...Most of them are animals, but he has kids...
>>
>>29568787
>and he has no kids as far as we know.
...you realize they pulled an X-23 to make Stella, right? So not so muck kid as highly modified clone.

I did mention 616 Loki's numerous off-spring. MCU Loki does not have that indication. And yes, I do realize they pulled an X-23....And now I'm picturing Stella and Laura being gal pals.

The three of you head inside as you go looking for Felicia- heading into the Kitchen, you see Aunt May and Anna Watson sitting at the small table talking. “Hey, Aunt May? Where’s Felicia?”

Your Aunt pauses, her eyebrows furrowed. “She received a call from her father before heading out a while ago. I thought you knew.”

You grimace and shrug. “She might not have wanted to bother Stella, who was falling asleep.”

Aunt May nods her head slightly as you head out of the kitchen. Captain Stacy and Gwen seem to be getting ready to go- they walked here, so it shouldn’t be to hard for her to get him home.

You wait for everyone head out before heading down to the basement. The first thing you do is call Felicia’s phone, but it automatically goes to voicemail, it’s probably turned off.

You muse to yourself that you’re glad you left a message to Felicia thanking her for coming tonight.

You’ll wait until everyone’s asleep before pulling out the hard drive. Right now you’ll work on the idea of grappling gauntlets for Felicia. You spend the time working on how to make such a device work, and by the end, you think you’ve got the math behind it right theoretically. You’d have to build and prototype to be sure.

However, as the clock strikes one, you pull out the hard drive.

There’s numerous files, and a great many of them are video files left by your father.

>>29571489
Basic computer security really. If it was easy to use, then if someone with the tools to decrypt it in less than a month gets there hands on it, then all of the information is laid bare, with no other protection.

"If it's worth doing, It's worth doing right."

>>29571660
For a moment, that looked like an actual command for the Git version control system.
>>
>>29571611
There's a lot of information on the drive that could easily put Peter in very real danger, were it assumed he was capable of cracking it.

If he's not, then the only danger is in those that would take it from him, rather than those that would hunt him for possibly knowing.

It's the best way to keep him safe.

Why wouldn't they just destroy the harddrive then?
>>
Well... Depending on how you read the letters we were given, it's ambiguous about whether the information in the hard drive was meant to be used by us or not. In Richard Parker's note it says that it was all the information he'd managed to get from Norman Osborn, and in Mary's note it says that if we're in trouble we need to go to Nick Fury. It's entirely possible it was just left to us to give to Nick Fury if we were in trouble.
>>
>>29571639
>Success!

You root through the videos looking for the one that was the first recorded message. As you do so, your growing aptitude at computers makes you notice something. Partially, this seems to be a safety function, but there’s… something off about this hard drive as you root through its files.

It’s almost like somebody messed with it.

However, you take your time as you find the first file on the hard drive. Opening it, you get an error filled video- it skips and cuts and refuses to play after the first half.

“My name is Ri- -er. I’m leaving this video di--look back upon as well as for you- -ter. I’d also like it to serve as evidence, if ever necessary for my work with-”

The rest of it is too badly damaged to play.

There, however, seems to be a very similar file to this one uploaded later.

“My name is Richard Parker, I’m leaving this video diary to one day look back upon, and in case something happens to me, it will work as well as for you to learn what happened to me, Peter. I’d like it to serve as evidence, if ever necessary, for my work with .Norman Osborn.”

We cant tell much of the difference here in text like this but its kind of important.

Yep. It wouldn't be out of place for there to be another file in the drive that has the exact same inflection of "Norman Osborn", It's easier to doctor an audio file by splicing in new clips from the original speaker than to try to duplicate the voice in a computer.
>>
>>29571834
If Norman had ever had access to the hard drive do you honestly think it would ever have fallen into our hands?

ILTVDTODLBU
AICSHTM
IWWAWAFYTLWHTM

NO

This means nothing as is, but if we break it down into their numerical correlation; it still means nothing.
Because someone edited the video. Poorly.

Okay, so this has been bugging me for a while... Why did Richard Parker have a blueprint of the Arc Reactor if he was investigating Norman Osborn? Norman doesn't know how to build an Arc Reactor, so where did Richard get the blueprint?

So what if Osborn is being framed? And there is another scientist or tech firm who would have reason to eliminate Osborn (perhaps because he was competition in a similar field like weapons design)? One who had access to arc reactor blueprints?

Osborn tends to deal in Biotech. If Richard was working for SHIELD, there's a good chance he may have been given blueprints for the reactor to construct one for them.

That being said, we should get to the bottom of this. But now all we can be sure of is that someone fucked with this harddrive. And now we're not even entirely sure if Norman's the culprit anymore.

>>
>>29572627

We have to crank up alot of things.

>>29572558
>How the fuck were we supposed to know the DC would be so high?
By reading.
>>
>>29572351
>DC33/25
What does that mean, anyway? Is a super-success 33, but we can still get something at 25 or what?
>>
>>29572627
and 'intelligence'. Everything is seems to be easier with high intelligence
>>
>>29572669
25 to find, 33 to find both? if it's like the first one will be fucked and one okay
>>
>>29572669
we need to pass DC25 to go to sleep
>>
>>29572669

Yes.

33 is the better result.
>>
>>29572627
>>29572654
Let's wait to see the end of an arc and how many points we get before arguing about it.
>>
>>29572669
We find [THE TRUTH]

and if the shadow runs are actually needed or not.
>>
>>29572654
We didn't have any combat perks available the last time, but true.
>>
>>29572627
Know what I just realized? Decrypting the hard drive isn't the end of that arc, so we aren't getting any XP for that yet.
>>
>>29572669
Probably a misleading, false success at 25. (I wish it meant DC 1.32.)
>>
>>29572669
Under 25 and something bad happens, over 33 and someone good happens. We landed in the neutral range.
>>
><Tohsaka> cosgrove, what is 33/25?
><Cosgrove> the higher DC gives you something better
>>
>>29572736
Or we find what we think is the last video, but if we beat the higher doc we would have found something even better?
>>
>>29572762
OH BOY.

I HOPE THAT WE CAN STILL GET THAT 33 DC REWARD

Or is it gone forever?
>>
>>29572780
Well, unless the harddrive is somehow time-bound to glitch out...
>>
>>29572829
Unless it has an internal power source, that's impossible.
>>
>this is going to be a long update, so please be patient
>>
>>29572874
Be honest, you didn't expect us to make that did you
>>
>>29572849
Every PC has an internal battery responsible for keeping the system clock awake, it's not unconcieveable that a scientist working for the in-universe superNSA on steroids built one into the hard drive.


Unrelated note - we've been really lucky decrypting the drive, but I feel it's a one time stretch and we shouldn't mess too much with it until Programmer Perk is unlocked.

It's always worth the wait.

This quest is best quest.
>>
>>29572887
We make it but with a SP used.

We manage to pass though thanks to luck with no SP use.
>>
>>29572351
Literally the only way to pass this DC would be to pre-use the SP(+8), get the modifier from being smart(+8) and then roll 17 or higher.

We could have gambled. No guts no glory.
>>
>>29572889
This harddrive was made when Peter was like, 7 years old. That means he was using 2003 technology.
What you're saying sounds very improbable, even by Marvel U standards.
>>
>>29572924
But if we had used SP...
>>
>>29572931
We need to pre-SP when we know we're about to attempt an action that could very well get us or somebody we love killed if we fail this single action.
Any other instance seems either overly cautious or a waste if we cock up our rolls.
>>
>>29572931
>Literally the only way to pass this DC would be to pre-use the SP
It's not literally the only way. Rolling a 20 would have made it a success, regardless of the DC.
>>
>>29572931
Yup.
>>
We should proabbly get rid of our Parker Luck before anything else.
>>
>>29572981
huh, no.

If the DC is extremely high, a natural 20 isn't going to cut it. 33 is fucking high as balls.
>>
>>29572981
Actually, I'm pretty sure 20s only cover us up to DC 30. Might be wrong, but I know Cos put a limit on them.
>>
>>29573002
Edit: If a DC is fifteen points or higher than the maximum that can be obtained with a twenty plus modifiers, then it is NOT an automatic success. This is the only exception. Some things aren't always possible to do, especially on the first attempt.
>>
>>29572996
Would it be possible to do reverse SP spending? I mean like add a negative modifier to a roll to reduce?
>>
>>29573002
the +8 would take care of that.
>>
>>29572999
Again a flat nat 20 is an auto-success. It is the 'I win' roll.
>>
>>29573015
Alright, so it'd have to be a DC of 43 for that to be impossible to do.
>>
>>29573032
>Every action has a 5% chance to be a critical success

>>
>>29573270
he hasn't SCIENCED up vapor walking yet. If only we could start a superhero team with Pym...

It's probably higher if we're trying that without mechanical assistance. I mean, we know literally nothing about magic.

>lower DC met

You manage to find one partially deleted file and open it, but all you get is half a second of your father holding some sort of weapon over his head and swinging it down at something that might be gray before cutting of in static.

The next closest video would be that of your father Richard parker sitting on a stool staring at a camera. It’s doctored, too, most likely, considering that the time and date are gone, but he seems to have seen better days- he’s unshaved and his white button-up shirt is undone, revealing a stained undershirt.

He also looks like he hasn’t been sleeping well.

“The first recorded mention of cancer came around 1600B.C. Egypt. A lot of people don’t know that. They think cancer came along with cigarettes and food preservatives. They think we brought cancer on ourselves as a plague… a plague of modern society.”

He shakes his head, rubbing at his eyes. “But it’s always been there since men first figured out to poke and prod itself- it’s been there. Then you skip ahead to Greece and Rome; sure the great doctors Hippocrates and Galen lifted their ideas of medicine from magic and superstitious gobbity goo.

“But Hippocrates named it.

“’Cancer’ as ‘karkinoma’ because to him a tumor looked like a ‘crab,’ karkinoma being the greek word for crab or so the textbooks tell me.

“Karkinoma.”

Your father shrug, almost amused.

“And slowly but surely we got a better understanding of human anatomy. Then better technology- better microscopes, then comes a better understanding of cell culture, chemical carcinogens, diagnostic techniques, chemotherapy… and boom! Oncology is science. And when I was a kid, you go cancer, you… you died. Now? Now you have a fighting chance.”

You father snorts, looking angry and defeated and miserable.

“But for me, it’s not good enough. It is not a battle won. I want cancer /gone/. When I was a kid, I watched my bull of a father wither away in front of my eyes and I had no idea why. Now all I want to do before I die- is to make sure no other kid has to see what I saw. I never want to watch another boy watch his father die and not understand why.”

There’s moments as your father ours himself a drink as you reflect at situation- you’re not sure if you want to laugh or cry. So- you do both. Eventually, he composes himself enough to continue.

“With our invention- the suit- we were treading ground no one had come /near/ before. Not the Starks. Not Reed Richard. Not Erskine. Not ------

“And it blew up in our face. Even before all of these… problems that drowned us. It failed.

“/I/ failed.

Your father shrugs as he downs the glass as he looks at the camera.

>>29573398
“’The suit’ was our shot, kiddo. We thought we cured it. On paper- it was there. We were thinking so outside the box, Carl and I. And it felt good. It didn’t feel like we were failing, it felt right. And I think by the time you watch this video, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about when I say it felt right. Sometimes, even when you’re in the act of trying something, you know deep down you’re going to fail.

“But you go ahead anyway.

He shrugs again. “but this wasn’t that. This felt right. I don’t know- talk to me in ten years- ---- maybe something good has come out of it and I’ll have a different perspective.I’ll be sitting here watchnig this tape with you and I’ll be laughing it up like no one’s business. But right now, today, it stings.

“Today, I am sure that somewhere up in Greco/Roman heaven, the great doctors Hippocrates and Gaien are looking down at me and laughing their superstitious faces off.”

You father laughs, bitterly and sarcastically before he goes and throws away the alcohol. He sit there and sobs for a while. It’s painful to see this man, your father, break down like this. Eventually he wipes his eyes and takes a deep breath, staring at the camera.

“Oh, Peter… I have all these things in my head, things I want to say... Things I think as your father you’ll need to hear. You’re going to find that there are a lot of people in this world, people who you are going to look at and say; ‘why is this person like this? Why did this person do that to themselves?’”

He shakes his head. “and I swear to you, if you stare at them for fifty years, you’ll never understand why they are the way they are. I have people like that in my life, people who are their own worst enemy. And instead of dealing with it, coming to terms with it, all they do is lash out at /you./

“/blame/ you for their own problems, for their own.. Whatevers. Don’t let them, Peter.

>3/4
>>
>>29573384
that's clearly Speedwagon.
>>
>>29573413
Don’t let other people blame you for what they do to themselves. I feel as your father that I have to warn you of the chaotic mess you are growing into. And it is, it’s a mess. People everywhere reacting without thinking. Lashing out. They don’t even know why.

“Everyone trying to be more than they are, which would be fine if they actually /earned/ it, but more and more it isn’t the case. And that’s why drives me nuts. I find myself /surrounded/ by people who will /do/ or /say/ anything for the appearance that they are better than they are. More than they are. Never for a second do they actually /try/ to be better. They just want to /appear/ better. They want to be special without going through the trouble of actually earning it.”

Richard Parker leans in, hands folded. “And if you have millions of people running around like this, well, then what do you have? What kind of world is that? I just see the future. I see greed swallowing medical advancements. I see the grandstanding and I just... Augh! Oh, listen to me go on about how the world works.”

He leans back, a defeated smile on his face. “If I knew how the world worked I’d be in my lab with a cure for cancer instead of sitting here whining in front of a video camera. I would have my project. I would have----. I can’t help it. It’s been a rough year, Peter. Tomorrow, I’m going to talk things out with Norman one last time and sort things out once and for all.”

Your father smiles at the camera. “But I tell you, no matter how crappy things got with this whole mess, I found myself not really /caring/ all that much. Because, at the end of the day, bottom line, no matter how bad my day is? I get to come home and see you. I get to watch you grow up. So, how bad can my day be?

“Just knowing I get to watch you become the man I know you will grow up to be. All this other stuff, it doesn’t matter. All that matters to me is you, Peter. And I can’t wait to see how you turned out.”

The video ends.

Cyber Monday requires a credit card and shipping time, cash leave less of a paper trail and allows instant access to your purchase. So it depends on your level of shadowruns and how quickly you want to get prototyping/fabricating whether or not it's worth it.

I don't mind references. If I miss those I'm not missing much. I'm just concerned if we start getting characters or plot lines because I'm just going to be totally lost and there'd be less emotional impact for reveals.
>>
>>29573625
And then there was Carnage telling us our responses before we uttered them. Then we pulled a perfect "you now act according to /my/ plan, and here's what you're going to say to that." and it was glorious. Yeah, lotta JoJo in this quest's DNA.

Is the "b" in /blame/ from >>29573413 intentionally uncapitalized?

>>29573835
no.

>>29573830
What concrete effect did our nat20 on our grapple bracer blueprints have? Did it reduce the time we'll need to finish them during the December timeskip?

>>
>>29573850
I'd rather it just make it more effective
>>
>>29573853
Did we get any information at all from when we bonded with venom?
>>
>>29573850
Not too much, really. Even if you do come up with something, you'll still have to prototype and build them, which takes a lot longer than just working on blueprint concepts done in one night.
>>
>>29573791
I guess I'd like to know if there are non-Marvel characters in this universe. I mean ones that aren't OC like Stella.
>>
>>29573883
... I... ok... at least we got a point out of it I guess.
>>
>>29573883
So then what, in terms of game mechanics, effect should it have in your mind?
>>
>>29573850
I'm hoping it improved the gauntlets instead of just making them easier to build.
>>
>>29573898
Peter will have an easier time with possible upgrades or revisions to it. He also has memorized the blueprints he made, meaning he can recreate them.
>>
>>29573888
Potentially.
>>
>>29573918
Okay.

Did we ever think to look in our school yearbook for Phil Ulrich's face so that we at least know the name of the Hobgoblin?
We've seen his face three times, the third from when we unmasked him. And we know he goes to our school. We'd recognize him from a picture.
>>
Can somebody update the thread in the archive?
>>
>>29573929
Thanks. I know it's a difficult question to answer without giving away anything.
>>
>>29573940
Yes.

It was Phil Urich
>>
>>29573958
Oh, good. So Peter knows his name now.
Sorry, I looked through the quest where we caught him and the quests after, but I don't think it was ever explicitly mentioned that we found out his name.

Thanks for clarifying.

Will Aunt May invite the lonely but polite guy who probably doesn't have any friends she met at the cemetary over for New Years Dinner?

Hmm I mighty be wrong BUT what if this Phil wan't a mutant but just a kid who was bite by radioactive bat?

I can assure you of one thing.

He was not a mutant.

Nor was he bitten by a bat.

Hey Cosgrove. I recently went through the archive and went on a Parker Quest binge. You do quality stuff, and I've enjoyed reading the twists you've done on the Marvel universe. Keep up the good work man.
>>
>>29574086
It means both are wrong.

But just because he's not a mutant doesn't mean he doesn't have powers.

understand now?

Both are legit, but that's also not in character knowledge.
