-He raises his hands-
No no, I'm not a demon. It's okay, I'm Spider-Man.

Boy, you got me, I've been going on impulse since the eruption.
There was this whole over roomship, from another timeline, they rescued us. Some of us.
Somewhere along the way I got this new suit, this... I don't now, reactive substance. Organic, I think. But that's basically the only good news. Almost none of us got out of there okay.

I'm... it looked bad, from up high. They almost didn't get me.
... They didn't get MJ.

Well... I mean, maybe. All we got is hope right now. Maybe if we win this game, we can put a stop to all this.

Turns out there's a universe— uh, timeline— a something-or-other where things happened differently. Some guy called the Doctor was able to arrange things so they'd pick us up, he's playing some 5-D chess with the whole situation.

They seem to have had a whole different set of adventures, with a different set of people. Basically all that's the same is the room. Heck, even that's barely the same.
As for that Doctor guy, I don't know. I think he's faking that British accent, for starters. And I don't trust that creepy underbite thing he does.

Beats me, Doctor Funkenstein for all I care.

Whoever he is, he's not here and he's not fixing anything, so we'll have to.

We... are getting caught on the details. Right now we need to figure out how to win that next game. Seems all we need to do is be game enough to spin that wheel more than the other team is, no matter what the consequences are.
That means no matter how many times they spin it, as bad as it gets for us, we need to do it at least once more. Then we're safe from elimination.

It's our only way forward now.

-To cover up the hefty amount of bruising he's picked up in the last hour, while waiting for his accelerated healing to take hold, Peter has returned to Elderstar-
-His clothes turning into mush and creeping across his body in a flood of black gloss, covering him in his suit-
-He comes on in, taking a moment to properly admire his surroundings, before sitting on the lounge cushions, lying back a bit-
