[Considering the situation, Pete was quick to change into his costume and sneak out of Vector's temple once the oh-so-friendly Acolytes gave him a little breathing room. Probably not the best decision on his part, since the costume made it a little harder to show that neat little marking on his arm, but hey, not like he knew how important those were. You try extracting useful information from the Welcome Wagon sometime.

So, instead of ~~Puny~~ Peter Parker, Haven would be graced with the incredibly delighted ~~except not really~~ Spider-Man's presence over the network. Also, possibly a little vertigo, considering he was broadcasting from somewhere on the side of Vector's tower with the camera pointing down, far too high up for most to be even remotely comfortable staring at the ground. Then again, he wasn't too put off by heights, and he was having little difficulty standing on the side of the enormous building.]

Uh, yeah, to anybody listening? I for one do not welcome my new robotic overlords, and would like some answers. While I'm definitely grateful the welcome wagon didn't try to kill me-- thanks, by the way-- I'm a little suspicious of the fact they seemed to be expecting me in the first place.

So hey, how about a friendly game of Q & A? I ask a question, you guys stop leaving me in the dark. I'll start nice and simple, like with "I get how I got here, but why am I suddenly on the Planet Of The Giant Robots? And how do I leave?"

[Should be easy enough, right? And like everyone else, he can totally only be pleased with the answers he gets.]

I mean, I've kinda got an entire city to keep safe back home, there's not exactly a whole lot of time allotted to my schedule for intergalactic field trips.

Only in that movie. The red was used to promote the use of the new color technology at the time. That's the reason why the rest of the movie looked like an hour and a half long acid trip.

Hmm.... Have to agree with you on the clashing bit. Might have to get you a whole new outfit.

I don't remember any of the Cinderella stories back home going over the 'film student' aspect of your personality. Think you might need a better publicist.

And the outfit stays, thank you. I kinda like my trademark red and blue.

[Except it's not really trademarked, and boy has that caused problems.]

Tell me about. The mundies tend to leave out the realistic details in their fairy tales. They also left out the part about Prince Charming being a cheating bastard, so imagine what else they could have left out.

Besides, I didn't know that bit of trivia due to film studies. I just happened to be around when that movie first came out. They were advertising hell out of it that I was already sick of it by the time of opening day.

[Are you confused now, Spidy? With being stranded on another planet with giant transforming robots, she's not going to care about keeping basic Fable secrets.]

Whoa, whoa, language princess! There could be children listening!

And while I definitely don't want you think I'm passing up an opportunity to ask about that fantastic aging process, what are Mundies?

[Though seriously lady, that movie came out what, in the 30s? Way to age gracefully.]

Seriously? Compared to some of the stuff I've seen on TV back home, my language is clean. Besides, I try not swear when I see kiddies around. But if it makes you feel any better I'll try to keep the language clean in your presence as well.

[She can act like a lady when she wants to.]

"Mundy" is short for mundane. They're normal everyday people who are completely unaware of magic and people like me actually existing.

Probably for the best. I like to shoot for a strictly PG rating- kinda got an image to protect.

[And usually precocious youngsters around, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. He has yet to see anybody who actually looks younger than him.]

...you know, just because you're not running around in a goofy outfit and pulling the whole ~Mysteeeerio~ schtick [And yep, totally mocking that guy's melodramatic flair], I'm gonna go ahead and believe you on that one.
