[ Seated in the corner of the couch in his living room, Peter's looking better than he probably has in months. Less tired, less haggard. Less miserable. You might say he even almost looks... happy. ]
Probably should've spoken up sooner, but-- lost track of time the past few days. [ There's a glance off camera for a second before Peter's clearing his throat and focusing. ]
Starting to think the newspaper really should start trying to be a little more thorough with its investigative work before it tells everyone i've died. Back when the Joker-- Uhm, there's a reason they didn't recover the body. [ a beat ] 'Cause I survived. So if anyone saw that, read it.. i'm fine. Nothing to worry about.
And-- [ After a put upon sigh, for a couple seconds, Peter holds his NV up against his chest, muffling both visuals and sound as he, off camera, takes care of something. But he's back on screen momentarily. Just technical difficulties, folks. ]
If anyone saw that bit in the paper about the aliens? Wouldn't worry about it too much. That was kind of-- [ he sighs; he really doesn't actually want to bring this up, but better to keep rumors spreading than not. ] The Darkness monster population in one of the sectors got kind of overcrowded, figured it was an easy way to take care of it all at once. Sorry about that.
[ And after a forced smile sort of a thing, he clicks his NV off. ]
[ ic replies will likely come a couple hours later. ]

I'd be happy to.

Good. You can pick the time and the place, but I'm not settling for burgers. Just so you know.
[A pause.]
Are you okay?

[ .... oh he thought he was out of the clear. ]
Yeah, I'm fine. Why? [ Why is everyone so suspicious of his life..... ]
[Video]
And I ask because you pretended to be dead, Peter. That isn't like you, and any change in behavior usually suggests something going on. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, I'll respect it. But I will listen to anything you wish to tell me and keep my own council.

[ And now give him a second to look flummoxed -- ] I didn't pretend to be dead! I just forgot to jump on the network and tell everyone I wasn't, I wasn't trying to lie about it.
The whole thing was just... worse than what was put in the papers.

I can understand not wanting to talk about it. I'm just worried about you.

And i'll fill in the blanks on Saturday. I promise.
