Bringing Back a Classic

[unrecovered]

[He's been thinking about teaching this game to Legion World at large; he figures that other Freelancers will pick up on what he's going for and everyone will figure it out from there.]

Five weird things the press or fans have said to you. Go.

I think I could get five just out of variations on Rich being my dad.

[whyarewehere]

That's true. People asked me some of them.

[headinjuries]

I mean it in the nicest way possible when I say please get out of my life, Grif.

[whyarewehere]

I'm trying, I promise.

[walkingballpit]

You mean all brown haired humans aren't related? My mind is blown.

Does this mean Vance isn't your brother? No!

[sir_vancelot]

One of the early fan memes thought had me and Rich coparenting him. Brother is far less creepy.

[walkingballpit]

Only until you realize that that makes Rich your dad, too. Then it's creepsville.

[sir_vancelot]

Okay, yes, creepy. But slightly preferable to the truth, so.

[walkingballpit]

[ And now it's weird, and, yes, Robbie's fault. Apologizing would just make it worse, but he can try to steer them away from Vance's dad. ]

I wonder what people would do, if they knew how bad a choice Rich would've been for Team Dad. He doesn't have the jokes for it.

[sir_vancelot]

I don't know about that. I mean, Rich has always had pretty terrible jokes.

Though I'm a little sad that I don't think we can find some of the early New Warriors pictures to show off his terrible fashion sense.

[walkingballpit]

I don't know about that. There's a good chance one of us ends up in that photo, too. I'm still hoping for an alien girlfriend, and I don't want to find out there's a planet where a good fringe vest makes you untouchable.

[sir_vancelot]

Hmm. I'm sure there's probably somebody into that.

[walkingballpit]

My dream sentient.

[headinjuries]

Well, mine's black, but I dunno if that even makes a difference, because all I've been able to figure out about colors for some species is it's weird and it works different.

[walkingballpit]

Sorry about that. I went with the majority color in the name of a more streamlined joke.

I'm pretty sure they can work miracles with science now. Like if I wanted blue hair and orange eyes, I'm thinking they could make it happen.

[headinjuries]

Your costume is kinda eyeblinding enough already, dude.

[walkingballpit]

My costume's a classic. I'm thinking about adding some red, though. The blue and orange look great, but I'm just not getting that 'all eyes on me' feeling anymore.

[headinjuries]

All you're missing is a cape.

[ No offense, Vance, but he'll never stop finding capes a little bit gaudy. ]

[walkingballpit]

The cape'd mess with the physics of it too much.

[ Grinning, he takes a not subtle shot at Vance. ]

I'll leave the capes to those who can telekinetically position it so that the cape always looks like it's blowing in the breeze, uncovering their best assets.

[sir_vancelot]

Or we could just leave my "assets" out of this.

[walkingballpit]

Or you could stop pretending that you don't have any. I can hear the air quotes, Vance, and I know that you know that you've got back - or else why would you reply to what I said about capes hiding all the good spandex butts?

[sir_vancelot]

Because you mentioned telekinetics and there's only one on the team that regularly wears a cape?

[walkingballpit]

And you knew I wasn't speaking metaphorically.... how, exactly?
