[ there's some asshole with his hands cupped around his mouth asking you, the general public, anyone in earshot, some very important questions ]

Hello~ excuse me~. I have two questions.

One, does anyone want to play hide and seek?

Two, can we do a poll by age and guess the likelihood that most adults have been murdered and the next ones to get picked off are probably the oldest? Thanks~

Flatterin' as that is, I didn't get this old by taking chances.

[unbr8kable]

You think he could take you? I mean, one-on-one?

[fiberoptic]

Looks can be deceiving.

'Sides, I'm less worried about him and more worried about what the producers have up their sleeve.

[unbr8kable]

Don't underestimate the silver fox-loving demographic. You might be safer than generic pretty boy number five with the producers, at least.

[fiberoptic]

[That caught him off guard. Silver fox...?]

Excuse me?

[unbr8kable]

Wolf? Grizzly? Sabertooth tiger? I never asked how you sentai guys got named, actually.

[fiberoptic]

I don't know what you're on about with animals... We picked colours, same as everyone else.

[unbr8kable]

Colors and animals go together! How else do you know how to theme your powers or shape your giant robots?

[fiberoptic]

Well, we don't got any. 'Cept Spidey, he's more or less guaranteed to be a spider.

[unbr8kable]

Huh... Cool factor notwithstanding, spider robot kinda sounds like a bad guy thing to do.

[fiberoptic]

Why? Sounds maneuverable. Probably comes with nets for non-lethal takedown.

[unbr8kable]

[considers this honestly]

...Maybe 'cause people think poison and haunted houses? 'Cause you're right, seems like it'd be steady even over mountains or rubble.

[fiberoptic]

Just base fear and superstition. Seems like a stupid reason t'label a whole branch of animal 'evil'.

[unbr8kable]

I mean, technically bugs aren't animals.

[fiberoptic]

They sure as hell ain't plants.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, most people want plants in their house.

[fiberoptic]

Well, wouldn't be very heroic to exclude spiders based on a bad rep.

[unbr8kable]

I didn't know social justice was another thing you fought for.

[fiberoptic]

Not what I was getting at, but... well, it's not like that sounds like a bad gig either.

[unbr8kable]

Is every adult here a grizzled old man with a heart of gold?

[fiberoptic]

Technically, I was a grizzled adult before any've them. So they better not make me look generic.

You could sue for copyright infringement! Require shaving and perfect coifs for anyone else old enough to drive! Disapproving of anyone younger than you is your job, after all.
