[ at first, there's a shot of sky; then, there's a shot of a wall, and then there's peter sat on the wall — or more accurately, there's a shot of someone sat on the wall in what, in some universe, could be mistaken for a red and blue wrestling suit.
(it's not though, it's just your friendly neighborhood not-as-spidery spider-man.)
that is to say: the explanations (quote-unquote) they've received to date are somewhat lacking, and he's still kind of hoping there's an absolutely anyone he can point a finger at and go 'I KNEW IT' rather than have this remain an apparently fluke accident of the multiversal variety.
there's a quirk of his lips and he holds his hands up, palms facing outwards in vague gesture of: and so. ]
Skipping past the Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore and going straight to the yellow brick road and wizard combo was— ... not exactly life affirming, but it did make me wonder about my sartorial choices.
[ he lets that comment hang for a moment before continuing, attention shifting up to the sky for a count of three and then back in the direction of the watch. ]
I mean, I get it: dimensional travel is [ pause. ] Complex. Temperamental. Annoying. [ that's not entirely the word he means, but it's the word he's using (there could be kids listening). nevertheless: ] I've been there, done this, passed on the t-shirt because it belonged to a guy with a color scheme that makes me look ill and come out the other side. Right side? Home side. There's got to be a better way of putting that—. Wasn't really interested in a repeat. Do you know how many voicemails I'm going to go back to? Accusations of being Bigfoot?
[ he holds his hands up — exasperation, folks — and it's followed by another pause, and another a quirk of his features beneath his mask. it's punctuated by a shrug, and he almost manages to look sheepish. ]
—You know, that felt good to get off my chest. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I’d love to say this is the weirdest thing I’ve done in my life but it’s not, which basically brings me to this question:
Anyone got directions to the lost and found? I think I dropped something exit-right of Earth.

What did you lose?
perma-video.
My dignity. [ his spider-sense. there's a pause, then: ] —And a pair of glasses that are possibly looking a bit dated.

—That's a valid guess, but no. Whilst the red-and-blue doesn't leave a huge amount to the imagination, it is still clothing.

[ . . . no offense! he’s perplexed. it’s colorful! too colorful, like you’re painting a target on yourself. and skin tightness looks suffocating! ]
Like you can’t breathe.

While no one really explained the device to Paris, they did at least show him how to talk to people. It takes a little bit of fumbling even after he gets the voice function on, and when he finally speaks he sounds a little bit alarmed.]
Are you ok? Are you... stuck? [None of the words he'd said made any sense, after all, but he definitely sounded upset about something.]

text
It appears to be an expression of the man’s personal grievances and confusion at being inexplicably trapped in a new world. Much of it he decides he can cleanly discard as cultural references to his own world – idioms or stories. The… physical body, however. Is that some manner of tight, perfectly cut fabric, covering his entire body? Is that also a cultural marker? This is far less easily explicable.
There’s one interesting question predominating, and so he wages a valiant struggle against his watch to Reply.]
Hello. I have received your ‘Video’. I apologise if you did not wish me to see it.
My name is Solas. I have likewise found it distressing and inconvenient to be stranded in this world.
Which is in part why I must ask: are you truly experienced in dimensional travel?
no subject
But to answer: yes, I've ended up in the occasional alternate universe, alternate timeline, et cetera in my time.
(And I think I can speak for the majority when I say that the theory is often more enjoyable than the practice.)
But hey, Solas. Spider-Man here.

And thinks of every joke he can, and then very deliberately reaches out and turns the video back off. Nope. Not yet ready for this conversation.
Nope. ]

(except really not at all. the biggest take-away peter is getting from this — and possibly the most important one — is that it's looking as if he's the only person from (his version of) earth.)
so—there's a flicker of a pause before peter responds to the ever so brief video, and the slightest of shrugs before: ] —I'm going to take that as a no.

What have wizards got to do with yellow bricks? Are they alchemists? Is this some sort of lead to gold thing?
[ Look, she has questions. ]
no subject
Think of it more as a— you know, I actually don't remember that much of the movie, —find what you had deep inside of you all along? As for the yellow, let's go with: he liked the colour, along with emerald. Basically, I've gathered that wizards, sorcerers and everything in between including magic-using gods like to be flashy.

That obvious, huh? [ he knows it’s that obvious, thanks, leo. his lips quirk beneath the mask. ] Brooklyn, right? [ not that he waits for the response to that before adding: ]
—Has anyone ever told you you’ve got one of those names?

video: Toby
[There's a closeup of a red eye set in green, scaly flesh, then Toby starts figuring out range and pulls back a ways. Snout, beak, heavy reptillian brows, upswept bladelike horns, deep guttural voice.]
A friend brought me The Wizard of Oz and told me about the sequels, but he said they weren't as popular and were much harder to find.

Uh— no, sorry, I only caught the movie on TV as a kid.

You're from Earth too? That's actually a relief.

well, peter could already guess this wasn't anything like kansas, but points for playing along. ] I don't know, from what I've heard about Kansas— [ s h r u g g i n g. ] You might be right, I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be more cows. But at least it's not Jersey, right? [ haha, now who's the funny one? beat; but okay— ] We're at the point where I should specify I'm from an Earth.
