"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"

Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them. Where does your character fall on this spectrum? More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside? Pretty meta stuff.

• No blank top-levels.
• Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
• Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.

I have a lot on my plate, Parker. Not much time to sit around journaling my feelings.

Like I said, I handle it.

[ he is akin to a very stretched little rubber band. ]

[stupidbutgood]

Honestly, if there's a guy who could stand to do a little journaling, it's you.

[ Note to self, actually get him a journal. ]

But the question is are you handling it well? Be honest.

[ninjavampire]

[ the pause betrays him a bit. he can’t show any doubts, but at least he’s thinking about it. ]

About as well as one can handle it given the risks involved.

Unless you have a bunch of clever suggestions to add?

[stupidbutgood]

I have a bunch of quips.

[ It seems to be a universal fact that Parker Spider-People are quippy and sarcastic. ]

How helpful they are is up to you. Personally, I think you start with the journal and a JJ stress doll. One where you squeeze it and his eyes pop out. Like in real life.

[ninjavampire]

Oh wow, thank you. I've never considered that option, really.

[ Even Miguel employs Sarcasm from time to time ]

I'll ask Lyla to cook up a Spider-themed stress doll with the face of my most recent headache. It can be a collection.

[stupidbutgood]

Careful. If Funko finds out they'll come for you.

[ And he doesn't seem to care about the vague threat made in his direction. ]

[ninjavampire]

What - the little plastic figures from 616? or 199999?

I guess I’ll count myself lucky their reach doesn’t extend to Nueva York.

[stupidbutgood]

I think they're in both?

[ He's fascinated by the multiverse. Of course's paying attention to the similarities and differences. ]

Come on, there's got to be some collectable. Are you a Beanie Baby universe? TsumTsums? Actually, a Squishmallow might be great for you.

Alchemax had a Consumer Products division.

[stupidbutgood]

Like all giant corporations should.

[ninjavampire]

I’m sure the VP would appreciate the sentiment.

[stupidbutgood]

I mean, they're also probably evil like Oscorp but you know gotta fit the cliche.
