(ooc: Many apologies, I'm in the middle of giving my permissions a revamp in preparation for Dup! Fourth-walling is fine and this thread is an absolute delight, so don't worry about it at all. Thanks for checking in though! )
( Rich definitely isn't wrong about his experience of the playground: Flash's upgrade from Pee-Pee to Penis Parker has been following him around for years, but with any luck the people in Duplicity won't bother with such predictable, high-school insults. He offers Rich a self-deprecating smile and shrugs it off with a little chuckle. )
I guess not, but it's never got me down.
( One of the benefits of being something like a child genius, he supposes, because it means he's been detached enough from the actual goings-on of school to not have ended up with some kind of crippling complex. Bullies aren't the be-all-and-end all, right? He's always had more important things to worry about than Flash: dumpster-electronics to tweak, lab work to do, Lego kits to build with Ned ... )
Really, it's okay! I mean, I can't even imagine how I'd be feeling if someone wouldn't let me buy a sandwich, so I feel you.
( Which ... is actually true, and brings with it an impish little smile, but he's really just trying to keep the mood light despite the fact that they've all just been slapped with a seemingly randomised caste system. )
Seriously though: I'm sorry this happened to you, Mr. Tozier.
( Peter's sincerity is genuine, and as much is apparent in the open expression he turns up to Richie. )
And yeah, I'm sort of alone? One or two people from home have uh ... texted me, but I think they got here before me and I don't wanna get in their way or anything. ( Look, he's 17 and grew up in Queens and is also Spider-Man, he can totally survive on his own! ) Anyway, I can look after myself.
