So, then, uh.

[kchhk. he cracks the can open and tries not to spray him. a little bit does end up on his helmet though. enjoy that blob of fizz over your eye]

Why do you even need it in here, then? Can't you just put it on when you go out on missions?

[gee DW, can't you just put your cape and mask on when YOU go out? duh]

[number1_kerbal]

[Don't worry, Jeb carries wipes for just this situation.]

Well it's a style thing, isn't it? I mean, my powers are pretty...non-specific. Wooo, nobody can kill me. That doesn't really give you much of a theme to work with. So I could have chosen anything. And you have to admit, I could be anyone under this gold-plated visor. You can't see through the helmet, it obscures the outline of my body-a lot more effective than just a domino mask and a cape.

[terrorwhatflaps]

.... [there is so much pout in his tone of voice. so much pout, just the right amount of spine-twisting whine, and a fair amount of indignation]

But what's wrong with a mask and a cape?

[number1_kerbal]

Hey, I didn't say there was anything wrong with them. Classics are classic, I get that. And it looks great on you. But we live in an age of surveillance cameras and smartphones, and you never know when somebody might get a good shot of your face. And if they post it to Mugbook or whatever, that's a little uncomfortable. My public face is a little too public-I don't want to be on page one of the newspaper as a super, and on page three as a private citizen, you get it?

[terrorwhatflaps]

[you have not only assuaged his ego, but you have fed it, which automatically makes EVERYTHING better. he preens a little.]

Mugbook? Psssh. I'm all over Mugbook. People love me on Mugbook.

[here's a hint: they're all selfies]

It's totally not a problem. I love the public and the public loves me.

[number1_kerbal]

And Doctor Dreadful likes you as well, I hear. That's the part I can hopefully avoid.

[terrorwhatflaps]

Ehhhh, so far it's a healthy hero-villain relationship. He tries to kill me, I fantastically find foibles for his felonious faux pas.

[sssssip.] Yeeeeep, yep yep. Just a day in the life for Darkwing Duck. What can I say? I'm good at it.

You meant she of course

[number1_kerbal]

Well, you two can keep each other occupied. I prefer to keep things street level, give the troubled kids a stern talking to, maybe a little bomb-squad help. I can't do this stuff full time, fun as it is.

but of course, you saw no problematic pronouns

[terrorwhatflaps]

Oh, of course, of course. I completely recognize that not all of the Omegafriends can be as epically effective against the echelons of evil as yours truly. ... And besides that, some of us are color-blind. We don't want to let any of them near bombs. Think of the collateral damage paperwork.

Re: but of course, you saw no problematic pronouns

[number1_kerbal]

[Jeb nods sagely. Yes, they probably shouldn't be on the bomb squad.]

Well, all that, and I have to leave town for work and can't exactly come back on short notice. So we do what we can, at the speeds that we can.

[terrorwhatflaps]

[the more he talks to this guy, the more he's reminded of Gizmoduck. where's the off switch for the gosh-darn-optimism? hooooo boy. he blinks a couple of times, flatly, at ... well, no one in particular except possibly the non-existent camera. really? really? are you guys seeing this?]

Uh ... huh. I take it they don't believe in carpools wherever you work, yah?

[How do the new icons look?]

[number1_kerbal]

Oh, we've got car pools. I just have to go out of the country sometimes. Sometimes those little business trips last two weeks or more, and it's not really practical to get back in a hurry.
