[Video/Action] Nananananananana...

[italktofish]

[Even though the person appearing in this video feed is wearing a mask and a bat-like costume, it's pretty obvious who it is. There is only one loud, bearded man on the network who would be this visibly excited about wearing a superhero suit on the Network. Besides, the top's still covered in scales, and the belt's just like what he wears with his Aquaman suit. He's showing off that cape and striking a few poses.]

Check out what I just got! Pretty OUTRAGEOUS, isn't it? It WASN'T MINE, but I remember I was TRYING TO COVER FOR A FRIEND by DRESSING UP LIKE HIM SO THE CRIMINALS WOULDN'T KNOW HE WAS LAID UP!

[There's another flourish of that cape.]

I think I'm gonna TRY IT OUT tonight!

[Action, Las Vegas]
[Fear not, gentle citizens of Las Vegas. For tonight, you are watched over by a dark guardian. An embodiment of the night.

A very loud, very large man in a batsuit.

Same difference.

Arthur is trying to do that Batman running over rooftops silent guardian dark and mysterious superhero thing, but his past self wasn't too great at it the first time even with a lifetime of superhero training. That's holding true now, and he can easily be spotted bumbling along as he tries to patrol the city. Someone should maybe stop him from doing anything particularly stupid with that grappling hook he's swinging around.]

[Action, Neuschwanstein Castle]
[Arthur's doppelganger, on the other hand, is trying to be very quiet and mind his own business. He's munching on a fish sandwich and reading a copy of Moby Dick. Or trying to read, anyway. Whoever or whatever is passing by is getting the stinkeye and some passive-aggressive exasperated sighing from him, because they are making far too much noise, even if they're not doing anything other than existing. No one ever said Arthur's doppelganger was a people person.]

[There was at least one person that wasn't making too much noise. Though, Rakka certainly had her reasons not to; Raye was a particularly large reason. Her throat was still... sore...

Didn't stop her from giving Arthur a stinkeye right back.]

[italktofish]

Take a picture, it'll last longer.

[He's speaking very quietly, even if he's still giving her the stinkeye. Gosh, why won't people leave him alone?]

[charcoalfeather]

[Slowly, and deliberately, Rakka reached into her pocket, producing her phone.]

Hold that pose.

[italktofish]

[He's just staring at her in disbelief in a sort of "are you serious, you're really taking a picture, you loser" way.]

[charcoalfeather]

[Aaaaand.... Snap! Picture taken, Rakka's phone disappeared once more.]

You told me to, Dumbass.

[italktofish]

Didn't think you actually would.

[And there's another scowl as he takes an irritated bite out of that fish sandwich of his.]

[charcoalfeather]

Hmmph.

[She crosses her arms.] I guess you're just going to keep being quiet?

[Action, Las Vegas] (your link's broken btw)

[scarlet_devil]

[An embodiment of the night? The vampire Emilia fits that description. And Emi can be very quiet if she really wants to be.

Right now, she's following this Shadowman wannabe around from the air, maybe she'd better try to stop this guy before he hurts himself.]

[Action, Las Vegas] Thanks for letting me know, it's fixed now!

[italktofish]

[Arthur has completely failed to realize he's being followed, and he's looking like he's trying to gauge the distance between rooftops here. Can he do a Batman-like jump? Decisions, decisions...]

Re: [Action, Las Vegas] Thanks for letting me know, it's fixed now!

[scarlet_devil]

[Oh for... He wasn't going to jump, was he? Well, she was pretty sure she could catch the big guy before we goes splat.]

[italktofish]

[Before he jumps, he starts swinging around a grappling hook. Don't worry, he's a professional!

...he used to have a job as a stuntman, the swinging is actually not as wild and uncontrolled as one might expect.]

[scarlet_devil]

[Okay, that was unexpected, but she really gets the feeling that he's familar somehow. Anyway, she decides to swoop down and land on the opposite roof with dramatic flair like she was some sort of superhero herself.]

[italktofish]

AHOY THERE!

[Costume or not, Arthur's still very much Arthur. And Arthur's always ready to meet a fellow hero. He swings over there to meet her, giving a whoop as he goes.]

[action - las vegas]

[moreweaponsthanyou]

[Fil didn't leave Las Vegas much any more, though he still tried to make semi-regular trips to Locke. He did make a promise regarding medical supplies and weapons after all and he meant to keep it. It was one one of those trips that on the way back he spotted the Batman figure trying to make a jump from one rooftop to the next and almost giving him a heart attack.]

Oi! Are you insane?

[italktofish]

NOPE! I'm BATMAN!

[He laughs.]

At least for tonight!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

...Batman? [Fil blinked uncomprehendingly at Arthur for a few seconds before giving a quick shake of his head.]

Uh uh. Nope, doesn't work that way. No way. Besides, even Batman can take a fall and BREAK HIS NECK!

[italktofish]

You don't need to worry about THAT! I'm a PROFESSIONAL!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

[Nope, not buying that one bit.]

Uh uh. I shouldn't have spotted you if you were.

[italktofish]

[He's flourishing with the cape.]

Well, it's not like THIS was ever really my STRONG SUIT, but I'm a professional with the REST of the SUPERHERO STUFF!

Text hi I'm so late it's the latest fashion

[evowhisperer]

Are you going to dress as a superhero to fight crime?



This sounds like a terrible idea.

Text, don't worry about it!

[italktofish]

BUT I'M ALREADY A SUPERHERO AND I'VE ALREADY FOUGHT CRIME AND GOOD NEWS I'M BULLETPROOF BUT NO I'M TALKING ABOUT DRESSING UP IN ANOTHER SUPERHERO'S COSTUME MY OTHER SELF HAD TO COVER FOR HIM ONCE BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN EVERYTHING AND REALLY I'M JUST TRYING A DIFFERENT SORT OF SUPERHEROING BUT DON'T WORRY THE SUPERHEROING OF THE SEA WILL ALWAYS BE NEAREST AND DEAREST TO MY HERO'S HEART

[evowhisperer]

Wait, wait. Are you literally bulletproof?

What sort of superheroing do you normally do? What is superheroing of the sea?

[italktofish]

I'VE BEEN SHOT BEFORE AND ONLY GOT BRUISED SO YES

NORMALLY MY SUPERHEROING INVOLVES MY OUTRAGEOUS OCEAN POWERS AND TALKING TO SEA LIFE AND THIS STUFF IS MORE SWINGING FROM THE ROOFTOPS DRESSED AS A BAT NOT REALLY WHAT I DO BEST BUT WORTH A TRY JUST THIS ONCE

[evowhisperer]

... Well, it sounds like you have this under control.

Do you do your sea-superheroing often?

*As usual with this guy, he can't believe he's having this conversation. As is less usual with him, it's occurred to Cesar that to fuss anymore would be less skeptical, and slowly melding more into being outright condescending. If this man was a super hero in a past life.... It defies all logic and understanding, but the least Cesar can do is entertain the idea.*

*Poor social skills do not a hero defeat.*

I TRY TO I'VE ALREADY SAVED A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE FALLEN OFF OF BOATS AND ONCE I ACCIDENTALLY MADE A DRUG BUST
