shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

-Appears-
Oh, here again. Hey everyone!

 

[He cracks up, but not unkindly.]
Yeah I know a guy who's had to fight the press on his image change for the longest time.
It's why I moved and switched my colorscheme and costume around completely when I left my- let's go with mentor, for simplicity. But yeah, starting as a sidekick can be easy on that count, if you've got someone yelling your alias enough, the press won't be tempted to come up with a name for you on their own. They just add the most ridiculous epithets.

And hey that's really cool. Don't work too hard though, sounds like you could use a break sometimes.
[Hypocrisy? From Dick Grayson? Never.]

Why hello there, lovely, I don't think I've had the honor yet?
[Says the guy wrapped in aerial silks and hanging upside down probably a good ten or so feet above the ground]

 

-looks up. Ok, not the weirdest shit she´s seen in here- Nope, don´t think so. I´m Sitara!

 

[He clears his throat and does his best impression of Bruce's growl]
I... am vengeance.
I am... the night.
I am Batman!
[It's not a very good impression, especially considering he is still upside down and isn't wearing a single part of the traditional suit.]

 

-Nearly dies laughing-
Oh fuuuck dude yu nearly got the voice down!

 

Heh [Her smiles broadens some, in genuine delight] Well, I guess it'll be a while until we get to a watery enough planet again so you have time to think about it? I can probably show you some in here in the meantime? I've pulled up some of the underwater cave systems I know in here before.

 

Well I've known the guy for more than 20 years and I have to practice my voice imitations somehow!
[He grins.]

 

Wait, you know Batman? Like The dark Knight Batman?

 

Technically I'm Batman right now.
I'm just off the clock.
But yeah I kinda inherited the job from the big bat.
[How many people does this lady know who hang off of aerialist equipment in spandex pants wearing a domino mask? Well to be honest Dick knows several other people like that too, so he can't really judge.]

 

*That's a man that has a giant wasp butt.*

HEHEHE... The Blood Letter..... *Snickery laugh*

 

Ok. Sorry I don´t keep up with the bat comics. Usually when i think of Barman I think capes and brooding you know?

Hi

 

Oh hi darling! I love your style there, gorgeous. I would wear head scarves but I just don't think I could pull it off? Mmh, unfortunate really. I'm Queenie~

*Waggles his wasp booty because he does that.*

 

-that sure is a guy with a wasp butt talking to her about fashion. She really should know better than to be surpised at shit in here by now-
Thanks, I´m Sitara. I guess you don´t know till you try?

 

I guess? That and those um... Cultural things... Marcus says I should keep those in mind. Sitara? I like that name! Are you meta? Or... Clearly you're not a beast meta, hm...

 

[He gives her a small wave.]

I know a guy-- he's retired and does legal stuff now, he's been helping keep a lot of the protestors out of jail-- who sent a, um, manifesto to his local news stations before he and his partner got up and started doing hero work. Probably should've followed his example there, since heroics is like, three celebrity status and one part actual work, but I was like... fourteen. So I guess I can, um, cut myself some slack there.

[He rubs the back of his neck a little in embarrassment.] I take breaks. Maybe not as often as I should, but Queenie and Gabe won't let me not take breaks, so...

[He makes a face, then sticks his tongue out.] At least no one calls me that anymore. Except for the New Haven Truth, they've picked up "Bloodletter Renegade" which is like... no? Ugh, I don't even want to think about them, ugh. Did you see the story they did on the fucking protest?

 

That dependson what a meta is. You know Marcus?

Hi!

 

*Cackles and claps* Did you see what they've been calling me? The Royal Wasp.

Oh! You mean The Flamer and Sapphire The Sapphic Siren?

Mhm! Meta is like metahuman, powers and things?

 

Yeah, me an Queenie are old friends. We go back a ways. Metas are, uh, humans born with a specific gene, I can't remember what the name is, and most people are just carriers but some people actually express the gene. It's like... magic and stuff, I guess? Or, well, superpowers, since there's the whole Heroics League that kicked up in the 60s following the Red Scare... I think that's the definition they use.

You're not a wasp or a bee. It drives me crazy, you know that? [He makes another face.]

Yeah, Flamer's been doing legal aide since he moved up here. You might've seen him around? I guess he's still pissed about getting fired, heh.

 

'The Queen Japanese Hornet' does not sound as good, it's for the theater of it.

Also, I'm going to drop you off of a building for that pun. Preferably on top of The Flamer.

 

No you wouldn't. You'd get sad if I fell and you weren't there to catch me. I've seen the way you fuss when I jump off something and you're not expecting it.
