Peter Parker | The Amazing Spider-Man

[ ooc: as it has not quite been one full month since No Way Home released, I will be keeping Peter's canon point vague for now, but the intent is to app him from post-NWH. please let me know if you would rather avoid spoilers entirely. I will match prose or brackets. HMU @ [plurk.com profile] millennialfalcon if you want to plot a different starter! ]

I. BEACH?! 🏖️

[ As he steps off the Ferryman's boat, Peter is full of questions. Questions that he tries to turn around and ask the Ferryman himself, but the boat has already started sailing away, having deposited its passengers on the beach. ]

Wait! What do you mean, "walking the line between reform and annihilation!?" You can't just drop a word-bomb like "annihilation" and not expect me to have questions!

[ The Ferryman either doesn't hear him, or chooses not to answer his shouted question, in typical 'mysterious spiritual guide' fashion. Peter just stands on the beach, looking a little lost, shaking his head. ]

I... don't know what I expected.


II. DINOSAURS!! 🦖

[ Peter isn't a jungle kind of guy. But he's a jungle guy more so than he is a stay-on-the-beach-forever kind of guy, so into the jungle he goes. Things go alright for him for the most part, climbing trees to try to get a sense of the layout of the land ahead. He isn't able to tell a whole lot from the view (man, he misses skyscrapers already!) aside from seeing the occasional Apatosaurus head peeking above the treeline. Which he has to admit, is pretty cool.

Finally he sees an indentation in the trees that he thinks must be a road, so he heads for it. Not long after he finds the road, the cavalcade of vehicles comes racing towards him. He dodges out of the way at the last second, deftly avoiding becoming road pizza.

When given the option to either flee or stay and fight the T-Rex, Peter chooses the latter, but he turns down the offer of a gun. Instead, when the king of the beasts arrives, he runs and leapfrogs off of the trees lining the road, up into the air, and loops around to land on the back of the T-Rex's neck, hanging on for his dear life.

It is at this point that he remembers that he doesn't have his web shooters. ]


I— Uh—! [ He hangs on for dear life as the angry dinosaur tries to dislodge him from its back. ] I really didn't think this far ahead!!


III.-IV. LIZARD PEOPLE?? 🦎

[ Peter doesn't stay in the human settlement long. He's too antsy to stay in one place, but he does want to make himself useful. Which is why he ends up volunteering to accompany someone on the car trip to the other settlement. Him, drive? No thanks, he's a city boy. He has his license, but definitely doesn't feel comfortable behind the wheel of a car. Heck, he'd feel more sure of himself surfing the roof of it than he would driving it!

At the sound of banging coming from the trunk, however, Peter would strongly encourage whoever is driving to pull over so they can check it out. And once they discover what their precious cargo is? ]


Mm-mm. No way. I am not going to be a party to human trafficking!? [ He spares a glance at the now freed captive. ] ...Frog person trafficking, excuse me.

[ And so he follows the rescued frog guy back to his village. He's a little weirded out by a whole community of reptilian (and amphibian!) people, given his unfortunate experience with Dr. Connors trying to turn all of Manhattan into giant lizard people, but he gets over himself once he hears one of them speak into his mind, quickly realizing that this is it's own whole thing.

When led to the test of bravery, Peter is expecting a fight. Honestly, he would have rather fought someone or walked across hot coals or something than toot his own horn with a tale of his bravery. ]


Uh, I mean, what can I say? I really haven't done anything special, or-or anything worth talking about.

[ Part of it is that he is humble, but another large part of it is that he would like to at least try to maintain his secret identity, even here, so far removed from anything resembling his home turf. He doesn't really get that chance however, as a scene from his memory plays out in the air above them... A scene of himself as Spider-Man, unmasked, saving a boy from a falling car. Peter is speechless, seeing the secrets he now has no hope of keeping hidden laid bare for everyone to see. ]

I, um. I would argue that Jack was the brave one there, actually...
