[... brushes popcorn off his shoulders and mentally runs over his list of Why Speedsters Are Necessary To The Superhero Community.]

New to camp?

[rhymeswithgrim]

[one Jeopardy theme later, he's handing over compiled and neatly indented list. there are at least forty observations on camp behavior listed.]

Sorry it's so short.

[NO SEXUAL CONTACT and DO NOT APPROACH THE BARRIER have been helpfully underlined, at least. oh Tim.]

[speeeeeeeeeed]

[this is why someday i will love you, timmy. SOHELPFUL]

This is short? Seriously thorough, man.

[rhymeswithgrim]

[just be careful Tim doesn't love you back. bad track record and all.]

Did you have any questions? I have some spare time.

[speeeeeeeeeed]

[hey, i am way harder to kill than the average bat and/or batparent. the mutant community can handle your love, timmy-tim]

Sure. Who's the cowl brigade? Are there lots of superheroes around here? What's the deal with that? How out is everybody?

[rhymeswithgrim]

A decent amount of the cape and cowl crew from my world, still more from others. We're not an overwhelming population. Most don't use their civilian identities alongside their costumed roles. The camp community is intimate despite its large size; I wouldn't be comfortable using both identities, but some of us are making it work.

Camp has no official group to keep the law, but one hasn't been necessary. Ignoring the results of the Director's rare experiments and actions, violence has been kept to a minimum without need for much intervention between campers. It's an interesting system of self-regulation.

And thanks for not automatically assuming Halloween had come six months early for me. We tend to get that here.

[speeeeeeeeeed]

So keeping them separate is still important. Okay. And there's a whole bunch of hero-y people around with not a whole lot hero-y to do. Sounds great. Do we all sit around and sing kumbayah or what?

No problem. Pretty sure most Halloween costumes don't involve real kevlar.

So I'm Speed.

Red Robin.

[good manners dictate the shaking of hands between heroes, so. extends?]

[speeeeeeeeeed]

[only looks at it in confusion for a fraction of a second before shaking. nice firm handshake, no weird power-playing involved]

[rhymeswithgrim]

[would win anyway I MEAN]

And I mean it. Any time you have a question, I can be reached.

[speeeeeeeeeed]

[i sense you undervaluing my superpowers]

How's that? Not that I can't find people but I'm all for saving a few nanoseconds.

[rhymeswithgrim]

[nonsense, exploding popcorn over camp is a very special talent]

The barn with the robin weather vane across the field to the south. There might be a cow in front with a cowl and cape. Can't miss it.
