[ peter's lucky, quote-unquote, in the sense that there's no-one here that he knows from home — sure, bucky's name on that list is a stark reminder of home, but it's not the same bucky that time travelled to the future that one time in a very bizarre set of events. (he's also not even buckycap.) that's not to say he's detached: if he was, they wouldn't be having this conversation.
he's bothered by it all. he hates the fact that he was functionally useless while the town was attacked for two weeks and someone else had to protect him.
so like, welcome to peter "i feel disproportionately responsible for literally everything, ever" parker and his many, many feelings. ]
It did the last time. [ beat. ] Did this time as well, by all accounts — why fix what's not broken, right? Assuming that's the aim, but I can't quite work out what's changed. Hurting Robin is pretty contrary to what the spirits are supposed to do - they attacked the last time because they couldn't tell if we meant her or the lighthouse any harm.
So given her purpose, from a purely pragmatic perspective, we need to make sure Robin's fine. [ that's side-stepping the fact that in spite of himself, peter's actually pretty fond of her. ] But it's a catch-22. Maybe it's a trick. Maybe that's the point.
—But yeah, pretty much. I was still thinking a more sombre affair than a party, but sure. I think I'm going to start swearing off parties in general, so I'm probably not the best guy to ask.
