Welcome Committee

[sumarusfinest]

There's been so many fresh faces to the Nexus recently, and more than a few of them have been children. Questions about finding a way home, about trying to decide if they want to go home. People wondering what to do now...

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several caraffes of coffee, breakfast pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

"Meet and Greet"

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? Have any questions about the nexus?"

"It's good to meet you, Miles. I'm Rosco," he says. He's old-fashioned, but not terribly formal. Almost everyone in Hazzard calls him by his first name. "You just be careful, if you're gonna go web-slinging around the Nexus. Uh. How did you get Parker's gig? You get bit by a spider, too?"

[ikicklotsafaces]

"I will, sir."

That's gotta be the right answer. Simple and respectful. The guy just wants him to be safe and Miles can understand that. That's the kind of guy you want to be the lawman around here.

"Oh, well. It's a bit of a long story, but the short version is that they found out about the accident that gave the first spider-man his powers and then, tried to repeat it. It worked."

Rosco gives a satisfied nod at Miles' answer, which turns swiftly to a frown of concern, bordering on anger.

"They didn't kidnap you or anything, did they?"

The thought of some wiseacre experimenting on a teenager is enough to get Rosco ready to fly into an indignant rage on the young fella's behalf.

[ikicklotsafaces]

"No."

He tries to clear this up right away. Not realizing how he might have made it sound that way till after Rosco starts to get frustrated.

"See, the first time there was this modified spider that gave the last spider-man his power, right? Well, they modified another spider at the lab where my uncle worked and it somehow ended up in his duffle bag ... and I got bit."

No kidnapping Rosco, honest! Just bad or good luck depending on your point of view.

Rosco looks relieved, then shakes his head.

"Well, ain't that the dangedest. Your universe's scientists need to be more careful what they do with their experiments."
