[ gwen winces but ] Okay, definitely deserved that. [ it's true, so. she'll take it. roll with the punches, yeah. she deserves more than just a few verbal punches, so. it's fine. she holds her hand up flat in front of her, palm up, and it honestly just looks like a smooth wave of shiny spiders slide over her skin, shifting over and between her fingers. she turns her hand and they follow. ]

This is it. Venom. [ she peeks up at him, but it's only to make sure he doesn't look completely horrified ] They're not really spiders, it can just kind of shapeshift into whatever we want it to look like. I think they just look that way because I'm.. me. But- I've worn it as a full suit before, and made it change into regular clothes once, too. It looks like whatever I want it to look like.

Sorry. Too soon?

[ It is true, but ... maybe could have toned it down, even if the comment had been said like it was a joke, a thing in the past. Still, there's nothing else for it when he leans in - just a fraction - to peer at the dark, almost oily substance rolling over her skin like sentient goo. ]

Have you ever seen this movie? It's from like, the 90s, I dunno if they had it back in your world, but it was about this green, living rubbery goo stuff. It wasn't as ... smart as this, but it could also change shapes. I think it danced around at one point.

[ He's rambling, of course, because Venom is making him a little nervous. He's not backing away, he's not even flinching, but he feels weird sitting here defenseless, if it decided to suddenly attack him.

But then - he's with Gwen, he thinks, so that's something. ]

Flubber?

[ she looks up at him again with a smile this time, and after she wiggles her fingers, the black goo turns flubber green, yeah. the consistency is off, but whatever. it shifts back after a couple seconds. ]

It thinks we're making fun of it, so no more green. [ but gwen looks amused, so whatever ] The physical stuff is kind of creepy, but it like- talks? In my head. That's the actual creepy part. It's almost like if your spider-sense had a voice. That also has an opinion on hot sauce? It's weird.

But after this long it's pretty chill, it doesn't just focus on the negative anymore. Especially when I eat spicy corndogs, it's really into that.

[nerded]

Yeah - yeah, Flubber. So you've got it on your world too.

[ Peter looks a little delighted when the black goo turns to green, and yeah, it looks a little like the stuff in the Robin Williams movie, which is kind of awesome? And also weird. Still weird. ]

So is it kind of negative by nature? Until, I dunno, maybe the goodness of whoever it ... pairs with? Is that the right word? But maybe the partner influences the - Venom?
