[ the video starts up with ripley at his desk. he clears his throat, trying to seem composed and business-like. he's probably half-way succeeding. ]

Soo. That blackout. That was rough. Right? Right? . . . Right.

Anyway, uh! Stuff happened and — stuff got lost. Or stolen. Stuff and stuff. Oh my god, what am I doing.

[ he clears his throat. ]

My point is. I'm sort of freelancing my . . . powers? They work in teleportation. So I can teleport objects to anywhere in the world, but also if you lost something, I can locate it for you. Anywhere. And that applies to people too.

And, uh, I can also check where to find the best food. Like Yelp, but in my head. Don't ask.

Soo. Anyone . . . interested? Probably?

Uh. Yeah. He sorta needs them to survive... Brains. The chemical in them. It's what Symbiotes need to live on this planet, the closest thing to their natural resource back home.

Yeah?

...Cool.

If you want to judge, that's fine. I won't judge you for judging... Plus, like, we already found a pretty good work-around, but it'd be weird for me not to tell you that we occasionally relapse and go back to chasing people down dark alleys at night.

It's... been an experience.

There's cool sides, too.

Save on gas. That’s another one…

I mean, I dunno. It’s kind of cool to be able to see the world through new eyes, I guess? V’s never seen most Earth things, so it’s nice to have that sense of wonder again. Like being a kid. It’s like what parents say having kids is like without actually having kids…

Speaking of… I have two kids?

( apparently??? )

Uh... No?

But, like, they're not exactly mine? I mean, they are, but I didn't... have them? I think I had one of them, though. Like, literally. Venom... offspring... It sounds like I got alien-pregnant, but fuck if I know, dude.

Yeah? Yeah, we think so, too...

But it's been pretty cool, actually. Dylan's a cool kid. He's into Nirvana. Pink Floyd. Dismantling the patriarchy... We like him a lot. Sleeper's cool, too. We're still getting to know them, though.
