...Dude, too The Incredibles is what it is.

C'mon, those masks are classic. Comic book superheroes were wearing them before the creators of Incredibles were in diapers.

Yeah, sure, Spirit, Green Lantern, Robin, Harley Quinn - comic book characters all over 'em. But. Seriously? A domino mask?

The hood on this jacket doesn't exactly stay in place when a stiff breeze picks up.

*pauses*

Bobby pins!

*pause*

... bobby pins?

Yeah! Bobby pins. (http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:OMxg5-U38kdOWM:http://carys.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/ist2_47660_bobby_pins.jpg) You can, you know. Clip it on. Bam. Problem solved.

Well I know what bobby pins are. And the hood's attached to the jacket, it just blows back in the wind.

*and attaching the hood to his hair is... yeahno*

*Yeah, she has no problem with that!* That's why you attach it to your hair. Yuhduh.

I could've said duct tape. That would work too.

... definitely not duct tape. Y'know, I think I should just go with the mask.

No! Duct tape saves lives!

I always thought it was like the Force, actually.

Light side, dark side, and it holds the universe together?

Exactly.

Just a lil bit.

Yeah, I figured. But having one of those 'oh noes there goes my secret identity' moments if a strong breeze blows my hood back... so not cool.

Hmm. What about this (http://www.findcoolclothes.com/products/large_photos/batmaskblack.jpg) one?

Hm. Not bad. That might actually work. And it'd be less... The Spirit-esque.

Yeah. No need to look too generic, you know?

Exactly. 'M Geoff, by the way.

Geoff? Nice t'meetcha. Alison.

It's a pleasure.

Yeah. I would go by something more heroic, but... well, the best the paper's have come up with "Hooded Hero" and "Hoodie-Wearing Vigilante."

Jeez, Geoff. You need a PR team or something!

I'd probably need more funds than I currently have for that.

Do marketing? Yell "five dollar footlongs" every time you stop a crime? Maybe Subway'll pay ya?

*winks* I'm just teasing.

*chuckling* I'm sure it'd make for some interesting headlines, if nothing else. 'Hooded Vigilante - Addicted to Subs?'

You could be the Hero? Okay, yeah. That was a bad pun, I'll even admit to that.

Man, now the Pun Police are gonna show up or something.

Besides, that'd work so much better if I was sponsored by a Greek food chain. But nobody would pronounce 'Gyro' correctly.

God I hope not. *smirks*

Yeah, but then people'd expect you to attack with tzatziki or something.

I think it'd probably be easier to just beat them with a reinforced copy of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Or with the screenplay.

Oh no. Spray 'em with Windex, babe.

... You know, if you aimed right, that might actually work.

Unfortunately, I'm a lot better at punching them.

Hey, we can't all have perfect aim with a Windex bottle. *smirks*

A domino mask.

Really.

It's backup, in case the hood falls.

If you're going to wear a mask, get a real one.

So how much of the face has to be covered for it to count as a 'real' mask?

You'll know it when you see it.

Just have to find the fine line between 'too comic book' and 'too bondage', huh?
