Display Name: Venom
Profile Photo: Dudes being Bros
Notes: Mention of real-world issues, like classism and homelessness.
( hello, internet. you’re all graced with an opening shot of eddie walking backwards through what looks like an abandoned subway tunnel, facing the camera, with venom bright and blobby on his shoulder. )
Eddie Brock and Venom with boots on the ground, looking into the great urban legend of Excelsior. You’ve seen the posts, you’ve heard about it on TikTok, now experience it live as we get to the bottom of this mystery. This is the Eddie Brock Report 2.0… which might need a little work now that V’s on board-
LIVE LETHAL PROTECTION! LLP!
Yeah, but Live Lethal Protection sounds like we sell guns or something, man... Later. We’ll workshop names later.
As you can see, this is uncut, unfiltered, unscripted. Think of this like… like a pilot episode. We’ve got our lovely cameraman, Peter Parker-
HE MUST GET OUR GOOD SIDE.
What are you talking about? All of your sides are the same level of… gooey…
Sh. No. Focus.
FOCUS!
We’ve been chasing this story for a few weeks now.
Seemingly out of nowhere, this mysterious lair started appearing all over social media, and now everyone's in a frenzy to find it.
So, what's it all about, right? Is this a bunker piled high with… with untold riches? Probably not. Billion-dollar companies don’t just jump ship from their investments and leave said investments open for the public to go scavenging through. More than likely, the rumors stirring around this place are all a red herring. Y’know, something to distract us all from what’s really going on.
Superhero disappearances, increased poverty rates, distrust between those with superpowers and those without… There’s a growing class difference. This City of the Future, Excelsior, we like to think it’s so much different from a place like Central City, with the grittiness, and the seediness, and the crime, but it’s not. It’s really not.
( when they come across a particularly imposing path lodged full of debris, viewers can watch live as eddie suits up fully into venom and goes about digging the alcove free. )
DO NOT GROW DISTRACTED BY TECHNOLOGICAL GURUS AND SILLY HIPSTERS WITH THEIR LONG BEARDS AND THEIR HIGHLY EXPENSIVE COFFEE.
THERE ARE THOSE AT THE TOP WHO GROW RICH, AND THERE ARE THOSE AT THE BOTTOM WHO STRUGGLE.
THERE IS A RISING HOMELESS POPULATION, GROWING SAFETY CONCERNS...
( with the final hunk of junk metal flung free, eddie and venom separate. )
...Some guy earns a billion dollars from inventing self-cleaning contact lenses, meanwhile people around here don’t know where their next meal is coming from? And everyone wants to focus on Bunker!Tok?
…
We’re going to lay this all to rest. And, when we do, we can get back to focusing on the real issues—
( before they get much further, there's a flash of static across the camera feed, though peter doesn't seem to notice it. his voice cuts into the audio. )
Hold up, Mr. Brock. Uh. Eddie. Guys. Whatever! Anyway, sorry, I can edit this part out, but…there's something going on here. I can feel it. Like…an AI, maybe? It's not like anything I've felt before.

@st33lchains: GLAD TO KNOW YOU'RE OK
@st33lchains: but WHY is my family so obsessed with underground bunkers tho fr
@st33lchains: YO TF WAS THAT
@st33lchains: you better not be doing some slenderman shit, i hate jumpscares
no subject
( is peter supposed to know who dylan is?? apparently. yes, they're doing deep, dark, dangerous work, but eddie has to put peter's concerns on pause when he notices the pings from dylan's username. )
Hey, bud. Sorry. Been a while since I've had to check in with anyone... You doin' all right? Diana make a good dinner for you two that's not just, like, raw carrots and roasted rabbit?
( eddie's heart-to-heart is also being broadcasted live to the world for everyone to see. they did say this was a pilot, so it's allowed to be messy and adorable. )
No jump scares, don't worry. ( he says as another ominous crackle flickers across the screen. ) Slenderman isn't even real.
no subject
@st33lchains: I roasted the veggies too and made some of that quick rice so it was a complete meal.
@st33lchains: listen where i come from basically everything is real so i'd still keep an eye out. there's some weird interference coming through on the camera and it's kinda freaky. be careful & pay attention.
no subject
( why does that make him smile? geez, eddie, dylan is a young adult! of course, he can cook! )
Hey, save some for me... Us. We wanna try your veggies.
( the space they're pacing around is large and ominous. when his attention isn't on dylan, he's doing his best not to trip over debris. )
. . . Once we uncover what's . . . be back in Little Love. Peter . . . a cool kid, I think you'd get along. 'Til then . . . who's behind this place, y'know?
no subject
@st33lchains: yeah! we made a portion for you. i'll cover it so you can warm it up when you get back.
No, no. This isn't Knull. At worst this is some... monster or evil scientist. Whatever's down here, there's no way they can take down both Venom and Spider-Man. Venom will protcet Eddie.
He stops responding in chat, not wanting Eddie to have any distractions while he explores. ]
