Alright, alright, I got one of those question thingamabobs:

What exactly makes a person dress up in a costume, call themselves something silly, and try and take on the world? Especially if you don't got powers, especially if you can just fall in with the rest of us folks.

I mean, I know why I did it, but I figure that was a special circumstance.

VIDEO hi, yes. >__> purmoncul July 12 2011, 20:27:19 UTC

So. Why'd you do it?

And are there picture?

Not in this universe.

And 'cause Uncle Sam told me to. I wouldn't've come up with it on my own, but orders're orders.

Your government told you to wear a cape?

And here I thought muggle society was completely boring.

deadthenred July 12 2011, 20:53:56 UTC

I didn't wear a cape. I wasn't looking to trip over myself, thank you very much.

And sure they did. They were figuring it'd give everyone else something to believe in.

And it's people who are boring, not things.

It's usually something about being young, idealistic, and ready to change the world, isn't it?

voice deadthenred July 12 2011, 20:55:24 UTC

Is it? I'm real curious. And all the tourists I met back home were older'n me. Which may or may not be sayin' much.

kathreptis July 12 2011, 20:58:13 UTC

I guess it largely depends. I mean, for me, it was some of that, and a lot of emulation. But I don't any two people would give the exact same answer.

deadthenred July 12 2011, 20:59:19 UTC

Probably not.

The emulation thing, I can understand.

Didn't we all consider ours to be special circumstance?

voice; deadthenred July 12 2011, 22:18:11 UTC

Yeah, alright, you got a point.

voice; enigmaestro July 13 2011, 01:39:30 UTC

My special reasons wouldn't be considered noble.

voice; deadthenred July 13 2011, 05:19:15 UTC

Neither'd mine.

That was why I was figuring they'd be special.

Saw another guy do it, thought it looked fun.

Then I made money off it.

Voice deadthenred July 13 2011, 05:19:40 UTC

How much money?

Voice shotyoudeadbang July 13 2011, 06:22:16 UTC

Depends on the job. 50 grand a pop for a while early on if you're reliable. More when you get a full-on rep established.

voice deadthenred July 13 2011, 13:33:02 UTC

Yeah, I knew they were stiffing me.

Well, I started as a wrestler, actually. The costume and name were part of my schtick, and they schtuck.

voice; deadthenred July 13 2011, 05:23:07 UTC

I wouldn't've figured it.

[You are skinny.]

voice; incywincyhero July 13 2011, 20:24:08 UTC

Figure it. I was all set to be a TV sensation, before I ... had a change of heart.

voice; deadthenred July 13 2011, 20:28:21 UTC

Wrestling's that bad, huh?
