[ oh look. gwen's inside a blanket fort she built in the corner of the living room. she's nomming on some marshmallows and she's got her homework next to her. ]

Have you ever done something that you haven't since you were a kid, just for kicks, and found out it's just as awesome as it was when you were five? 'Cause I'm totally having one of those moments right now and I gotta say, if you haven't built a blanket fort in the past five years? You should definitely do it again.

[ there's a pause and she looks around. ]

Extra credit if you can get it to cover your entire living room. I wonder if we've got enough blankets for that...

[ the feed clicks off as gwen gets up, presumably in search of more pillows and blankets. ]

[incywincyhero]

Just remember that unlike certain mutual acquaintances, I can't walk on the ceiling.

[candidly]

Yeah, I know. Neither can anyone else who actually lives here, so there'll be a walkway. Just a different one than normal.

[incywincyhero]

I'll put together a go-bag for the inevitable emergency room visit, shall I?

[candidly]

No one's gonna end up at the ER. Have a little faith.

[incywincyhero]

Man, it's like you've never met me at all.

[candidly]

Dude, I know basic first aid. Unless you somehow manage to chop off a limb when you faceplant into a wall, we'll be fine.

[incywincyhero]

[He groans.] Gwen. Now you've jinxed us. Just wait and see -- I bet Johnny comes home tonight with a lightsaber or something.

[candidly]

If Johnny brings home a lightsaber, we'll be dead. Which means we'll need a coroner, not the ER.

[incywincyhero]

Do we need to have an Empire Strikes Back rewatch? Again? Unless you're making a comment about Johnny's aim, in which case objection withdrawn, your honor.

[candidly]

Yeah, that was a comment about his aim. And we can't really watch the movies here anyways.

[incywincyhero]

Aw, man, I always forget that part.

[Granted, he can't mind too much when it means he's had a conversation with Han Solo.]

[candidly]

It's probably a good thing though. Having things around to remind you of... that is really weird.

Kinda related, did you know there's a metal band named Gwen Stacy?

[incywincyhero]

I dunno. I'd kind of like to know what all those Spider-Man movies and cartoons were like. For the heckling material, y'see.

A metal band? Well, for you I guess that's appropriate.

[candidly]

Maybe, but it's really kind of weird. I mean, they're using my name.

[incywincyhero]

Did they make commercials about you to encourage kids to eat fruit? That one's my favorite Weird Spidey Thing.

[candidly]

... How are you so chill about all this?

[incywincyhero]

The same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice.

[candidly]

I don't think practice is really going to help me that much.

[incywincyhero]

Jadedness is just a state of mind.
