barry allen i think some kind of food & walking combo is always pretty flawless. dinner's nice if you feel like talking. movies if you don't. i know lots of people like to do coffee but that always seems like a more friend-related thing to do. none of this data has any conclusive evidence of course
[Not long after their... talk, Gwen will be getting a package with a hand-crocheted Wookiee and ewok. There's no name attached to the note, but it still makes the sender's identity fairly obvious:
Do be sure to give them terribly pretentious names
Peace offering. Even though it went well, all things considered, she wants Gwen to know that they're very much alright on Celeste's end.]
hey gwen i have like 10 things i wanna say but first things first: i want to take you to the zoo sometime so make room in your busy schedule for little ol me and a bunch of baby animals also i took roland and he's weirdly enamoured by penguins?? it feels like something you needed to know, like, urgently
ohhhh my god does he really like penguins does he feel like he's among his people bc of how proper they are does he like their lil tuxedos this is the best also you know i work at the zoo or zoo-adjacent i could probably get us a deal i'm making room rn room for little ol eddie dean
Hey, Gwen. It's Barry. ( kind of a serious tone -- and the fact that he's leaving a voice message instead of text, it's all a weird build up. he sighs a little over the phone, obviously nervous, running a hand through his hair. ) Sorry, guess I'm... I don't know. Going through a tunnel -- crrrrk, crrk -- okay, sorry, bad joke. Anyway, maybe we could meet up if you have a second? I'll buy the ice cream, you bring the science puns. Okay, okay yeah, bye, talk to you later.
[ yeah, it's always a little alarming when someone calls instead of texting. but gwen likes barry, and despite the butterflies in her stomach, she dutifully calls him back. ]
Hi, Bar. I could go for lunch or something. The or something being ice cream. You OK?
I have discovered a certain predilection amongst the people of the future for images of felines. Am I correct in understanding this is an appropriate form of sharing between friends?
Edited (DAMN IT HTML EVERY TIME) 2015-10-14 02:09 (UTC)
heeeeeey cece i am working out equation for how much tequila a person can drink without dying based on body mass and relative liver function i will let you know how it goes v important research
[ After much deliberation, Susannah has decided she can't deal with actually entering a conversation with someone that might as well want to have none of that in the first place. Not with her. So she's going to do the polite thing and let Gwen decide.
Also it's easier to talk if you don't expect an answer. ]
My name is Susannah Dean. I... would like to have some words with you. Please, don't think that this is me trying to make you feel any worse than you do. On the contrary I- well I would love to meet you.
[ A very uncomfortable pause. ]
It's my belief that I can't just stand idly at- at this, so if you wish to talk to me- this is my number.
I won't force the issue though.
[ "Have a nice day", only that lol, insensitive much? So she's just going to hang. ]
[ she manages to listen to the message all the way through. that's - a step. in the right direction. of course, by this point, she's unshowered and hasn't slept properly for a couple nights in a row, so she's hardly at her best. still, she listens.
she needs to bathe and eat something before she can do this.
so, she does. a hot shower and then some oatmeal and then a few nervous laps around the kitchen.
ok, it's just a phone call. she can do this. ring ring. ]
[He doesn't know how long to give it. He's terrible at the dating thing. Is it even a dating thing? Don't jump the gun here, Harry (or is it jumping the wand). But he doesn't wanna wait too long so he gives it a few days.]
so it was only like five minutes after i ended that video and posted it to the network that was like "wow gwen you're a dick for not getting in touch with your twin about this first" so i'm sorry about that i always figured you just knew i was spider-woman from the get go so what would be the point of talking about it there's not much to say??? but anyway sorry if that came off shitty
i'm still going to do everything i can to keep peter's secret which i think he knows but maybe not and i wanted to make sure you knew too
basically, sorry if this came off weird i feel good about letting go of the secret but i know it's not that easy for other people who run around wearing costumes
[ ok peter she really just means peter ]
so it probably just comes off as selfish i guess i don't know i'm getting away from the point so i'm gonna quit it
[ gwen had seen the post and avoided commenting, mostly because she didn't want to risk saying anything that would even come close to compromising peter. ]
you're not a dick. i kind of knew. or i guessed, i guess.
i'm glad that you felt comfortable enough to let people know, here. i've seen a lot of people doing the superhero thing openly, and i think it's nice that you all have each other. i think it's probably really great that peter has someone who gets that part of his life. i mean, you live the spider-thing and have to deal with the responsibilities the same as he does. i've thought about that a lot.
anyway i totally don't think it's selfish or anything. it's up to you how you live your life and you're spider-woman so you get to decide what people know about her.
[ Peter has a knack for isolating himself when he's feeling down, so it takes him some time between Spider-Gwen unmasking and Harry leaving to reach out to anyone.
Of course, the first person he's going to contact is Gwen though. It's not even a question. ]
[ super odd hour or no, gwen's phone has a peter parker tone, and when she hears it she's there. it might take her a second or two to fish her phone out of her bag, but she's got this. ]

quick question, don't read too much into it:
what are your ideas for a perfect date?

i think some kind of food & walking combo is always pretty flawless. dinner's nice if you feel like talking. movies if you don't. i know lots of people like to do coffee but that always seems like a more friend-related thing to do.
none of this data has any conclusive evidence of course

(Aka, find an envelope hanging on the windowpane with a rather formidable string of webbing to keep it secure.
Inside it is:
On the back is written:
I bestow to you, Gwen Stacy, 1000 kisses from me, which you can collect at any time.
Merry Christmas.
Yours,
PP
Considering this is coming from the guy who webbed 'I LOVE YOU' across Brooklyn Bridge, is it a surprise really? ]

she will be collecting on these kisses, maybe sooner than either of them has reason to suspect. ]

so i'm sorry about that
i always figured you just knew i was spider-woman from the get go
so what would be the point of talking about it
there's not much to say???
but anyway
sorry if that came off shitty
i'm still going to do everything i can to keep peter's secret
which i think he knows but maybe not and i wanted to make sure you knew too
basically, sorry if this came off weird
i feel good about letting go of the secret
but i know it's not that easy for other people who run around wearing costumes
[ ok peter she really just means peter ]
so it probably just comes off as selfish i guess
i don't know i'm getting away from the point so i'm gonna quit it

you're not a dick.
