I think he's looking out for you, which is cool. Having that kind of superhero back-up is nothing to hate on. But- doesn't the suit record everything? Ehh.
[ she scrunches her nose, but she'll let it go ]
Mine was 75% made already by someone on the internet, I just added to it. I'm pretty proud of it, though. Even if it doesn't have any cool webshooter settings. [ she grins ] It does have a magnet to keep my hood on straight, so. There's that.
Yeah, I think so. Or it did. I mean, it probably still does.
[ Which is awesome but also kind of unnecessary??? Tony, what are you planning to do with this footage?
He tries not to be hung up on that stuff though, because when push comes to shove, Peter trusts Tony and also there's a huge part of him that admires the guy. A lot. So. ]
Honestly? I don't think I've used like ... more than half of the possible webshooter settings. Tony might have gone a little overboard when really all I need it to do is feed my web-fluid out and turn it into webbing.
[ which is by kidnapping Karen via snagging his mask and putting it on and viewing all the embarrassing footage!!! one day she'll manage it. one day. in the meantime she'll just keep threatening to. ]
It's kind of cool, though. In a nerdy way. If you're into that.
Yeah. No, it's awesome. Like, Karen's got a million webshooter settings that I never would've even thought about. I've even been developing a new version of the fluid so it could take advantage of some of the different methods.
[ Speaking of nerdy ... ]
Actually, that's kinda what I was working on tonight.
New web fluid? I still can't believe you came up with that stuff on your own. That's some next-level nerdery, my friend.
[ she sounds s-so fond, it's almost embarrassing. almost. it's just on the brink of embarrassing ]
You should ask Miss Van Dyne how she made mine. I tried asking her once but literally none of it made sense beyond "there's water in the air, and these use that moisture to make webs". [ she shrugs her free shoulder ]
I totally should ask Miss Van Dyne. Oh, man. I've kinda wanted to talk to someone about it. I mean, I could talk to Mr Stark, I guess, but ... I kinda just want this to be my thing, you know?
[ And grateful though he is for the suit(s) gifted to him from Tony, none of it was really his doing.
Hell, his first suit had a training wheels protocol locked onto it, which ... is a little humiliating, even to this day. ]
Mm, I getchu. He seems like the kind of guy that's less talky and more showy and then he would end up doing the whole thing himself instead of helping you.
[ gwen shifts around a bit, moving her phone with her. she's laying on her back now, holding the phone up above her with two hands. she will most likely end up dropping it on her face at some point, but for now it's just a waiting game ]
Plus, there's probably something reassuring about it being your own tech and your own web fluid. You know it's gonna work, because you made it. Might be cool to have the cartridge-less option that mine does, though. Like, as a backup. If you're in a pinch.
[ not that she thinks he needs training wheels, per se, but the idea of him running out of webfluid mid-swing or mid fight is. well. horrifying. ]
Yeah, that's kinda - [ No, no, no, Peter doesn't want to sound ungrateful. Because he isn't. Really, he isn't. He's just - it's weird? It's weird. Sometimes he isn't sure whether Spider-Man is really his identity at the end of the day. ] - Yeah. I mean.
[ It's so complicated. Ughhh, why is being a superhero so complicated? ]
Exactly. [ He sits up straighter. ] That's totally true. It's why I kinda just used my own webshooters, even with the super cool new suit. They're just ... I know how they work. I know exactly how they work.
So - yeah. About your cartridge-less webshooters. How do they work?
[ eeehehehe, it's fun intentionally making peter groan like that by being obtuse. she's laughing and not even hiding it. ]
I don't know, she said that they suck the moisture [ she makes a face after saying the word ] out of the air and it turns into webbing. So I basically never run out, considering even on the hottest days here in the city it's gross and humid.

Thanks, Gwen. Couldn't figure that one out myself.
