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.

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

voice;

[deadthenred]

I wouldn't've figured it.

[You are skinny.]

voice;

[incywincyhero]

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

voice;

[deadthenred]

Wrestling's that bad, huh?

voice;

[incywincyhero]

[A beat, then an uncomfortable, rather humorless chuckle. Aiming for his usual quippy tone, but just a hair too flat:]

It, heh, wasn't really for me, you know?

voice;

[deadthenred]

Hey, I'm not gonna press unless you want me to.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

There's nothing to press about.

[... Right.]

voice;

[deadthenred]

Where'd you get the outfit?

voice;

[incywincyhero]

[And now he's cautious for a whole different reason.]

I, uh, made it at home.

voice;

[deadthenred]

I can't sew that well. Just enough to get buttons back on shirts.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

Really? And here I thought all you doughboys were crafty types. Darning and knitting, stuff like that.

voice;

[deadthenred]

Nah, can't knit. Can darn just passable.

My sister makes socks, though. They got her whole school knitting socks.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

Aw, shucks. And here I thought I'd finally found a guy I could debate the best ways of casting on with.

voice;

[deadthenred]

I'd be shit at it now, anyhow.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

Insert joke about presumed lack of swearing in the 40's. Too obvious?

voice;

[deadthenred]

S'only Steve that never figured out how to cuss. I tried to teach him.
