( nothing special about this set-up outside of venom in full form napping like a baby on the couch behind him. )

So, things have been a little heated between the metas and the non-metas from the sounds of it. For good reason. Powers are really dangerous, and it kind of seems like everywhere we go, worlds literally seem to fall apart...

...Which isn't great.

People are, like, disappearing into other dimensions. I don't know what the fuck that's about, and hell if I know how to fix it.

But... I think it could be worth trying to fix things with the people who're afraid of us... Or hate us, but those ones might take a little more work to get through.

I don't see why we can't do this Coyote Ugly style and hold a Date-A-Meta Auction? Y'know, spend a day with a local so they get to see we aren't so bad?

Or each other, if you want.

Bid on whoever.

Plus all the proceeds would go to restoration projects to get the cities back in order. So it's a win-win.

Any volunteers?

You would?

....Why?

[There's obviously some insecurity there.]

[frenchkissed]

Why? ...Dates are fun.

You're fun.

We could go see a movie or something, since that's what you're into?

[makeanentrance]

Spider-Man would disagree.

[But then he sighs and finally offers a smile.]

Yeah, that'd be nice.

You both doing okay?

[frenchkissed]

All right. If this date auction ends up working out, our money's on you.

...

Unless we get outbid. Because we don't have a lot of money, and if some eccentric billionaire comes swooping in for the steal, we can't match that.

( how are they doing? eddie could probably use some time to check in with himself, so he does so now. )

Good. Mostly. Good on our end, at least. Little worried about the state of the world and our disappearing friends and the mounting hatred being directed at our people... but outside of that, V and I can't complain.

[makeanentrance]

You can probably have me for a penny.

Yeah... It's been a bit weird here sometimes but it's weird back home too.

[frenchkissed]

Cheap sell.

We'll start with a solid $100.

You've been back to your home since this all started?

[makeanentrance]

The only way you'd lose is if somebody was suspicious and wanted to keep a closer eye on me.

Ah, no. I've been here all along. But I remember what it was like and for the most part... it's better here.

[frenchkissed]

Or if they see a big, strong dude with a taste for the classics and decide they want to get to know him better?

I'm still on the fence about that one. Whether one place is better than the other. Still too soon to tell. Everywhere's got problems, y'know? Some places just have... bigger... problems?

[makeanentrance]

I guess so.

Do you really think anyone else likes the classics? A lot of people just think... I'm a kind of joke for what I do and what I like.

[frenchkissed]

Have you met hipsters? Hipsters fucking love the classics.

It's a dying breed, I'll admit. Most people are all about their Twitter and their FaceTime, but that doesn't mean there can't be room for real art, too.

[makeanentrance]

I try to keep up with modern things but I guess I'm old fashioned at heart. You can't really beat the classics. There's a reason such things are timeless.
