Location: various
Situation: Catchall log for late July with both Miles as himself and as Spidey

[ Nerd. That's a bad thing, isn't it? ]

No, not really. I come from a family of scientists.

[spiderkid]

[Not necessarily. Not to Miles.]

Same thing.

[notdreaming]

Is it?

[ Well now she's a little embarrassed. ]

I'm sorry, I don't really know the word.

[spiderkid]

The word "nerd?" It basically means someone who's really smart and obsessed with like science and stuff.

[notdreaming]

I'm not obsessed.

[spiderkid]

'Kay maybe not obsessed obsessed, but like... really into it.

[notdreaming]

Well I guess if that's what you want to call it, then yes, I'm a nerd.

[spiderkid]

Cool. Nerds are cool. Some of my best friends are nerds.

[notdreaming]

They are? [ She sighs in relief. At least it's not an insult to him, even if she's not planning on sharing it with the world. ]

Good, that's great.

[spiderkid]

Yeah. So, what're you doing out here on a night like this?

[notdreaming]

Oh, I live nearby, and I don't actually need to sleep. [ She waves off the question as though it's the least of anyone's worries. ]

[spiderkid]

You don't sleep? Is that an alien thing, or...?

[notdreaming]

An alien thing, sort of. Something to do with the sun and radiation. [ She doesn't know the specifics, which is... still something that bothers her, actually. ]

[spiderkid]

Huh. [He shrugs.] I can get that.
