open vigilante comm
[This comm was sent out last night, at around 11:30 pm.]

Good evening, masks and maskettes, this is Spider-Man welcoming you to another be-hee-youtiful night here in Seattle. Temperature is partly gritty with a 100% chance of criminal ass-kicking. Ladies, if you have any requests, I'm here all night.

	[You can hear the "-_-".] This is not comedy hour. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I don't think you can cram your daily recommended dose of laughter into one hour.

[There's a beat wherein he realizes that being totally glib on his first appearance on the comm isn't exactly a good impression.]

Not that I'm laughing. I just thought the standard "Hi, I enjoy walks on the beach" introduction would be a bit too generic for you guys. I'm Spider-Man, by the way.

	[The Bat's first impulse is to ask 'why spiders' but he squashes it. Figuratively.] Try to keep the chatter down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He has no idea who this guy is, but he talks like a Big Wig. So Spidey doesn't question it.] Right. Sorry. [A beat.] Since I'm new to this neighborhood, you mind throwing a spider a fly and telling me who you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2011-05-02 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Blink. It's been a while since anyone asked his name.] Bat. I hope you are at least old enough to drive if you are going to be making such a prominent target of yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-02 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	[There's some muffled noise that, if you listen very closely, sounds like "Oh my God no way" with a hand shielding the comm from Spidey's mouth.] Awwwww, you guys really do care. Don't worry your pointy head about little old me. Robin can vouch for me, I'm no sitting duck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The Bat is so audibly unimpressed. He says a kind of 'huh' kind of sound that could mean anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[With evident amusement] Definitely not a duck, sitting or otherwise. Spidey's got some nice moves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-02 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	[The Bat's sound disheartens him a bit, though he brightens instantly upon hearing Robin.] Awww shucks, you're making me blush. My little spider head just might explode. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Thomas does not approve of making fun of... anything, and general amusement is frowned upon. However, he does it silently, which is probably all to the good.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustsidekick 2011-05-02 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Do spiders blush? I guess you learn something new every day. [Contrary to the Bat, he thinks a little amusement is a good thing, especially considering recent events.] Don't let your head get too big, though. I can still hit harder than you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[For the first time in ages, Bly isn't being a lurking creeper.] New guy, if you need any gizmos and gadgets, hit me up. And friend of Robin's cool in my book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-02 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yep! It's a defense mechanism. [He half-laughs at Robin's rebuttal.] Touche. I'll have to work on that. [The new voice makes him sputter. Gadgets? He's a kid in a candy store.] You're Robin's Secret Santa, aren't you? I might have to send you a list. I promised I've been very nice this year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blytech 2011-05-02 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs.] Naw, just Ratchet, man. But lists are cool. I charge, but I try to keep it affordable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-02 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, that's fine. [He mentally runs through his funds.] Something handy like a belt might be good. You know, for keeping important things? I'm pretty much in red pajamas here. It's flexible, but not very conducive to pockets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blytech 2011-05-03 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Let me know your pant size, man, and I'll get you hooked up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Trying to see if you could fit in them? [He barely manages to keep the laughter out of his voice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blytech 2011-05-03 12:22 am UTC (link)
	[A muffled wail.] Why does everyone think I'm gay? I like boobs. -A beat.] Unless you're overcompensating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 12:23 am UTC (link)
	[Oh, Spidey can sympathize with that.] I think asking for mens' pants sizes is what does it. [After the beat, he lets out a loud hissing laugh that was clearly forced out his nose.] Any other time, I'd say yes, but a belt wouldn't do me much good around my ankles.

	blytech 2011-05-03 12:24 am UTC (link)
	I dunno, man, sounds like you're doing that deflecting thing. The closet is made of all kinds of wood, from what I've been told. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 12:26 am UTC (link)
	If that's the case, why do we say "coming out of the closet"? Wouldn't it make more sense to say "going into the closet"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] There's this line, Spiderboy. And I think you just stepped over it. [He's still laughing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 12:34 am UTC (link)
	[He snickers as well, though mild concern about his shenanigans getting out of hand lurks in the back of his mind.] I'll send the line and his family an apology note. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blytech 2011-05-03 12:39 am UTC (link)
	Probably a good plan. The line's family can get pissed when you step on him too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 12:41 am UTC (link)
	I'll keep that one in mind, Ratchet. Don't want to make too many enemies on my first day, after all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I know you're new and all Spidey, but I'm making a mental note that you two shouldn't be allowed to talk again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Let me guess. Your name is..."The Barrier." Or "Captain Chuckles." Or maybe "The Naysayer." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	commandandlead 2011-05-04 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not a condom, and I hate clowns. But I like The Naysayer. Pretty much sums me up right there. People here call me Pepper. S'a pleasure. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hello, DJ Spider? This is Nightwing. I want to request a little song I like to call "there's some thugs who need their skulls kicked outside of Geralda's Diner". It's pretty obscure, I have it on vinyl. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aspidercan 2011-05-03 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	[The sound of wind whipping in the background of his comm picks up, and his voice slows just a bit as he focuses on navigating - Spidey's on the move.] Actually, Nightwing, I heard "Loud, Annoying Canonfodder" back when they were still performing in coffee shops. I sold their vinyl when they sold out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
