Mary Jane Watson has posed:
It's a catchup time over in the residence of the Parker Family. It's some of the webslingers (and friends) that are up and over while having a plate of May's wheatcakes fresh out of the oven.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Meeting at Parker's for cookies is one of those things that Gwen just can't refuse. Because who can say no to Aunt May's cookies? Not Gwen! So it is that she finds herself having perched down upon a couch, shoes left by the entrance. She's dressed in a pair of yoga pants along with a white top, one leg pulled under her while she goes through the bliss that it is to have one of those wheatcake cookies.

"Mmmmhmmm, just perfect..." The blonde says, mouth full of course, "Peter isn't around.." she then tells them. "Emergency at the Bugle, or some such..."

Glint of mischief appears on her eyes. "More cookies left for us.." because she's a glass half-full kinda gal. "So what's been up with you?" she inquires.

Miles Morales has posed:
"Come on, I'm already late!"

Seriously, what is up with villains of the week always showing up when Miles is trying to get somewhere?! It's a strange conundrum, but vulture was trying to steal blood samples from the nearby hospital - blood samples which were being prepped for full donation to people who need them.

"You'll never catch me Spider-"

A THWIP to the eyes and a little bit of forward momentum and Mikes webs Vulture to the wall. "Later Vulture!" He even webbed the blood bags into a nice safe web pouch for retrieval.

Miles arrives as he tries to staighten out his sweater, colored red with some graphic designs on it, with some blue jeans and carefully non-creased Jordan's. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late." He comes in with a little wave to accompany him.

"Busy, busy, and more busy. Still getting used to the life juggling. How about you Gwen? Oo! Cookies."

*munch.*

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
The group is hanging together over as Mary Jane settles in and moves to grab one of the cookies and take a bit eo fit. "May makes the best ones. I think this is what's kept Peter going so long. Just being able to come home and have some of these." SHe would grin while going to grab a cup of hot chocolate with marshmellows also provided by the amazing May to dip her cookie into and take a bite out of it.

"So how are things all over on the slinging front? Just the normal things?" Giant rocket powered two story robot wheel, supervillain wtih a mind control bell for a helmet.. Just all thsoe normal sorts of things one had to run into in life.

"My job's on a quiet phase now. Which I guess is good." Well, by 'SHIELD' standards at least. "There was some cleanup in the Savage Land but that seems to be over and done with." Consisting of alien infected killer mutant dinosaurs.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
With the cookies all served up and ready to go it means Aunt May is now free to take off. Because yes, she does get out of the house from time to time! So she is just leaving when Miles is walking in. She grins at them, "Now, remember to not do anything I wouldn't do.." she tells them with that kind of look that knows more than it seems.

They are left alone and so perhaps even freer to talk about more Spider matters. Gwen eyes them with a grin, "Let me try to guess." she is looking at Miles now, "Rhino?" trying to guess what got Miles to be late!

To MJ she mmms, "You wouldn't believe it if I told you. There was this small pig-like being dressed like spider-man and ..." she shakes her head to herself. "No. Forget it.." she still wasn't sure how real that had been.

"My question here is: Did you get to ride a dinosaur?" Gwen asking all the important questions.

Miles Morales has posed:
"That wheel thing was wild." Miles remarks on his the swinging life is going. His eyes shift to Gwen when she asks why he got held up. "Vulture, actually. I think the older he gets, the weirder his schemes get. I feel like next week he'll just become Condiment King or something." He lifts his shoulders in a shrug. "But keeping Gotham safe and helping with New York when I can."

He tilts his head. "Clean up? Like broom and mop or like...scorched earth?"

He looks at Aunt May and gulps. "Yes ma'am." Because knowledgeable old folks have a /look/ that's stronger than Superman.

Then to Gwen as he comes over to plop on the couch. "A what? Please tell me his name was punny, like Spider-Pig or Spider-Ham." He waves his hands. "I can't when you cliffhangers me like that!"

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would turn over to Gwen and move to shrug, "Well, at this point in my life I'm not sure I have the right to judge anythign as weird. But, in the Savage Land there was like this eighty, ninety meter tall alien goo kaiju that I saw. I think it's weirder that none of the Amazons were phased by it. But I suppose giant monsters aren't exactly strange anymore by the standards of Amazons." She would deadpan over and lean back.

"Rode a T-Rex for awhile, then a Triceratops. They weren't particularly big by Sonja's standards. Her thing is more sea monsters and dragons. Well, that and those often tend to be the best places you can try to skewer them. And good work, Miles. There's way too much chaos going on and not enough peole to stop it."

She would grin. "Have you run into the scary brooding angst guy in Gotham? I've never seen him other than Justice League group profiles. So what's he really like? Or have you never met him? I sort of wondered always why he has younger people around him wearing bright, primary colors."

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Gwen snaps her fingers. "Vulture. Of course. That was my /next/ guess." it wasn't. Gwen takes another cookie, getting comfy on the couch as those long legs wrap under herself. All until Miles goes and suggests names for the pig. She eyes him suspiciously. "Have you met him?" blue eyes on him silently for a bit. "And it was ..., Spider-Ham ..., I think.." she lets out a sigh. "At this point I will just put it to my weird imagination.."

Because there are kaijus to talk about apparently. "Evangelion? Pacific Rim? Godzilla?" Gwen could go on about those but instead she munches on a cookie. "Are you talking about Batman?" she shakes her head. "Never met him. Though I met Nightwing, he's part of the Titans. I am sorta with them ..." she hand wobbles briefly. "Sorta. It's complicated."

She wasn't even sure what her status with them was.

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would shrug, "Well, I wouldn't know. I mean, if you wanna go purely by -things- somewhere off Japan in the Pacific is what SHIELD registers as something called a Leviathan. I've just read the reports and I swear most of them are made up. I really hope they're mostly gossip from movies. But, uh.. If you wanna read on it there's a Doctor Takiguchi and Doctor Hashioka have written some papers and they've been published if you really wanna read." Something she still thinks is made up.

"I guess you are what you are with them. If you need to crash at the Titans I'm sure that they wouldn't have issues. And uh.. Is his butt as nice as the pictures?" She means Nightwing.

Miles Morales has posed:
"I bet you $25 dollars if absolutely wasn't." Miles smirks at Gwen with humor in his eyes. Though upon understanding he got the name right of an interdimensional Spider-pig? His eyes go wide and with his mouth full, mutters a stuffy-

"Oh shit. You're kidding."

"But...what if he wasn't a part of your imagination? By the way, my money is on Godzilla. We see so much stuff as Spiders that it really wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see a spider-pig."

"Man, I wish I could ride a dinosaur." Miles admits with a sad look in his eyes. "I rode a shark the other day?" Upon being asked if he's met Batman shakes his head.

"I actively stay the heck out of his way."

Because he's Batman.

"Gross!" Mikes tells MJ when she asks about Nightwing's *Nightwing*. He looks at Gwen. "But it's cool that you're hanging with the Titans. Are they as rad as I hear?"

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"No no no..." Gwen waves her hands. "I was doing a comparison with the monster you saw with those. Wait, a Doctor Takiguchi..?" She just looks at MJ suspiciously for a moment before sighing and shaking her head.

That Miles doubts her /guessing/ powers has Gwen just arch a brow, "Easiest 25 bucks of my life..." she says. "Because it totally was.." nope, it wasn't. She even folds her arms to show how serious she is.

That Spider-Pig might be real has Gwen scrunch up her nose. "Not sure if I won't just prefer it be a figment of my imagination ... I mean, what's next? A Spider-Man come out of a 40s noir flick or something?" she just shakes her head again and then ... "Wait, you rode a shark? What?" she blinks a couple of times at Miles.

"What is it with you all getting to ride cool stuff and I am stuck with the pig?" Poor Spider-Ham.

"Titans are cool. I am sort of a probationary member but been to the tower a few times.." then she laughing at MJ's question. "Miles. Put your hands on your ears.." then she leaning forward to MJ. "Damn right it is. Just perfect." index finger joining with her thumb.

Mary Jane Watson has posed:
Mary Jane Watson would shrug over, "Hey, Miles definitely has it cooler than I do! I mean, riding a sea monster is /not/ fun no matter what Sonja says. And she sees it as less fun and more prone to slaughter and.. WEll.. It gets kind of icky when I go through her headspace." She would swivel her head to look over at Miles. "Sure, were you singing the 'Baby Shark' theme song at the time? If you weren't I'mg oing to be really disappointed over in you and I'll have to revoke your joking privileges." She would giggle over and then look at Gwen.

"And what? What about him?" SHe's curious by the ellipses over at the end of Gwen's comment that are implied.

"And, at least it's not.. Spider-Cat? Or Spider-Car? God, can you imagine a car slinging web? Driving up walls? Peter's not going to make a Spider-Mobile someday is he? That just sounds ridiculous." She would snark over.

Miles Morales has posed:
"I webbed up a cowboy hat and that's exactly what I was about to do before a fellow hero made a platform for me to hop off and web up to." Mikes seems to slightly shrivel up under the potential of disappointment! His shoulders draw near to each other and his head lowers. "Is that okay?"

"I'm keeping my joke privileges!"

To Gwen, Miles narrows his eyes. "I can still read lips and gestures!" He sticks his tongue out at her. "And /lies/." Miles tells Gwen regarding her villain guess. "My money's staying in my wallet." He winks at her playfully and he lifts his hand to his chin. "Or a mech Spider-Man. Or a T-Rex Spider-Man! That'd be nuts. Like, drug trip nuts."

He smiles warmly at Gwen. "Oh yeah, it was wild. Beach shark attack."
