((This post is all OOC catch-up on what Peter's been up to for the past few weeks. FYI, the dates on the backdated entries are chronologically ordered but nonexact - that is, the entry listed under "August 8th" does come before the one listed under "August 20th," but that doesn't mean the events of either of those entries actually happened on those dates. I just spaced out the logs and other postdated entries out for my own convienience as I put them up.))
The events of
Battle Royale left Peter's emotional state in a bit of a mess, not in the least because he was forced to mercy-kill Norman Osborn, his worst nemesis, and discovered that he really did care for the old psychopath after all. Restored to life by what turned out to be godly mojo, he decides that the best way to stop the cycle of death and destruction once and for all is to sleep with Norman Osborn. Repeatedly.
Oh, superhero logic.
In a move that surprises no one, Norman agrees, provided that
certain conditions are met. And so it begins!
Although Norman and Hermes haven't really acted married in ages, Peter quickly comes to his senses, sorta-kinda, long enough to realize that he just helped
cuckold a god. He
apologizes, and we're going to pretend that actually happened a while back and isn't a backdated post. Semi-unrelatedly, since Hermes was too busy sulking to pay attention to him anyway, Hermes
confessed to his role in the Battle Royale.
But Peter and a number of the other survivors weren't really convinced, so they
did some
investigating of their own, and found out that Amber Dolios was also involved. Peter was a tad upset, since he'd been in her wedding party right before getting kidnapped, and was currently staying out in her apartment while a fugitive in his own universe. Ruh-oh!
A little later, Mayday Parker
found out about the relationship and was not thrilled; neither was
Tony Stark.
Norman and Hermes broke up shortly thereafter. Peter and Norman
talked about it.
There was another player in the soap opera who didn't know yet - Namor, Prince of Atlantis, also Peter's friend. And ex. Who really liked to play
war of the alpha male with Norman, much to Peter's chagrin.
The relationship didn't last much past that, and the break-up was
a bit of a doozy.
Still riding the emotional surf of that, he went to deal with some unfinished business - namely, going to confront
Amber and the other Norman Osborn about having helped Hermes orchestrate Battle Royale. You know, by offering up Peter, his own Norman and thirty-odd other people up as human sacrifices, all that jazz. The conversation ended on an impasse, with Peter demanding that Amber (and Norman, but mostly Amber) take responsibility for her actions and Amber insisting that she and her unborn child would be in danger if she did.
Most recently, Peter's been skipping from apartment to apartment - a few days at Flash's, a few days at Betty's - visiting his Aunt May (who is still in a coma but safe thanks to some bizarre
reality hijinx), and keeping his head low. He's not entirely sure what to make of
Amber's recent confession to the Nexus. Especially the part where she says he
forced her.
This is the angst that never ends/
