[Otto seems harried, clearly walking very quickly down the street as he posts. This is just a quick message anyway:]

Please tell me there's someone else out there who's still their normal age?

Oh thank god.

[He wasn't at home either, and was in fact headed in that direction to try and make sure there wasn't an extremely young Peter Parker panicking in their apartment! Not that he's out of the woods there yet - ]

You heard from the other you?

private from here on

[tinglesense]

I...haven't. But he's pretty young already, right, so maybe a couple years won't make a difference?

[ HE CAN HOPE? ]

What the hell happened to everyone?

[doctopoda]

If we can't get ahold of him, I think you should go check. There's a version of me in his world.

[So, you know, it's possible that Otto just swanning in could make an already scary situation worse!]

I have no idea. No communication from the Alliance about it yet. You? [Honestly, he can see the Society having better information backchannels.]

[tinglesense]

Oh. Oh, shit. Good point. Probably less weird meeting some other version of yourself than someone you're...not sure you can trust.

[ Points for diplomacy, Peter. ]

The Society is kind of decentralised sometimes, so...not much is buzzing except that it's definitely magic. So, you know, nothing you couldn't have figured out.

[doctopoda]

[It's a little while longer before Otto responds again, but it's with good news!]

Okay, the other Peter's fine. [Thank god.] But could you do me a favor? You remember Doreen - she stayed on our couch for a while during the blackout? Someone needs to go look in on her, and I can't do it for...similar reasons...

[If he ever meets Bowlcut Otto, it's basically on-sight at this point.]
