[This video is a video of a man in a tuxedo, cape and a white mask, standing dramatically up on a roof, his cape flowing in the wind. The real reason he is there is because of kids who he was entertaining, but they don't show up in the video so this is... honestly very out of context.

Instead, all you hear is:]

My job here is done.

[Before he dramatically leaves the roof and the feed ends.]



[ooc: Mamoru attempted to take a good video of the whole scene, but what is knowing how to place his phone well and time it right... and because memes.

Also he's attempting to use Light Magic enough to make himself unrecognizable even if he doesn't have his canon glamour abilities. But this may also be easy to see through if you want.]

[Peering at the video, is he... supposed to see something? What work was done? Is this a joke he's not getting?]

But you didn't do anything.

[reincarnatedprince]

[Wait what. Mamoru looks back at the video and... sure enough. The video shows nothing at all. Well this went ... very well.

But he can redeem himself.]

Exactly. I succeeded in making you wonder about my existence.

[tantailizing]

So friendly ghost on the network?

[reincarnatedprince]

I prefer the term phantom myself, but sure.

[tantailizing]

Phantom, huh? Hey, what's the difference between a ghost and a phantom?

[He's kind of genuinely asking...]

[reincarnatedprince]

I don't think there is really a difference. It's more of which fits what situation.

[tantailizing]

The situation, huh? So what situations have one or the other?

[reincarnatedprince]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure ghost is considered more of a general and maybe even more childish way to call spirits, while phantom sounds more dramatic and official.

[tantailizing]

Okay, that's fair.

So then Mr. Friendly Phantom, what did we do today?

[reincarnatedprince]

Just a good deed. A smile on kid's faces.

[tantailizing]

Smiles, huh? Alright then! Sounds like a good deed indeed hehe!

[reincarnatedprince]

Indeed. Protecting their smiles is important and something I want to help do.

[tantailizing]

Think you'll need any help in the future with that? I wouldn't mind lending a hand. Or is being a phantom a requirement?

[ichoosefight]

Nice. Very cool. I give it an 8 out of 10, because I feel like you really could have pushed it further, but I've been hanging out with caped dorks and drama queens for years.

[ Yes, she can 100% buy that this is the masked equivalent of a shirtless pic. ]

[reincarnatedprince]

I will keep that in mind. Maybe I should add some special effects to my exits?

[He's aware of his plunder, he's mostly just going to go with it.]

[ichoosefight]

No way, man. If you need special effects, you shouldn't be wearing a cape. That's superhero 101. You just gotta add a little cheese, you know? Don't be afraid to look completely ridiculous. Anyone who puts on a cape looks ridiculous from the start. That ship has sailed.

Batman only pulls it off because by the time you stop to question what life choices have brought you to this point, he's already broken your jaw and both your legs.

[reincarnatedprince]

I suppose a mask and this hat wouldn't help with the ridiculous image?

[He looks amused, at least.]

Is Batman a friend of yours?

[ichoosefight]

It's certainly a look.

[ But no, it is not less ridiculous. ]

"Friend" is a strong word. Hold on a sec, I've been practicing this...

[ She props the phone against the wall and backs up so he can see as she tries very hard to hobble together a tiny illusion in the center of her desk. It looks like Batman! But it's very cartoonish. And, naturally, glaring. ]

I can't make them move yet, but you get the idea.

[reincarnatedprince]

Light magic? I possess the same magic.

[It's convenient for storytelling.]

I can see why he'd be called anything relating to a bat. Though I'm not certain many people would be able to pull off that look.

[ichoosefight]

Ah, I thought your face looked a little weird.

There is exactly one person that can pull of this look. But there's nothing wrong with being a little ridiculous.

[ She frowns, shifting the image until it becomes a little Superman floating in the air. ]

This is Superman. He's like, the greatest hero of all time, and he wears fricken'primary colors.

[reincarnatedprince]

Ah, you noticed?

[He really needs to work on his light magic illusions.]

Hmm, definitely not colours I would use, personally. I see the cape is a common feature.

[ichoosefight]

I've been spending a lot of time figuring out what I can do.

[ Which is a comment on both things, because she (slowly) starts going through the superheroes that come to mind. Supergirl, then Batwoman, then a very grim looking Robin. At this point she's just entertaining herself, honestly. ]

So have I established my Cape Cred?

[reincarnatedprince]

You have definitely established that. Do all of the superheroes you know wear capes or is it just that common?

[ichoosefight]

No, I was just giving you cape examples. They're common in Gotham because our heroes operate mostly at night, and a cape is great for making you a harder target to hit.

Plus it gets cold sometimes.

It's the Phantom of the Opera! Turned sentai!? What kind of play is this!?

[ Wow wow wow!! ]

[reincarnatedprince]

I'm not sure what "sentai" means, but I'm here to provide an air of mystery to make afternoons more interesting.

[No he's not, but he failed and now he has to go with it.]

[arf]

Like a superhero squad! With masks!

[ He assumes there's more where this dude came from. ]

[reincarnatedprince]

Oh. Well, we do have a group, but I'm the only one with a mask.

[arf]

How do they protect your loved ones from harm's way without a mask!?

[reincarnatedprince]

Their transformation magic provides them with a magical shield to prevent anyone from recognizing them. Even if they met them in civil they couldn't make a connection.

Of course it doesn't always work. Some villains just find out your identity one way or another.

[arf]

So you don't have a magical shield then!? You should get one, it sounds dangerous to go without one!

[reincarnatedprince]

I do, in fact. Back home. The mask itself is the magic. The others just don't need a mask, but that's the only difference.

1/3

[arf]

Ohhh, so your mask is magic! That's so cool. Can I borrow it sometime??

2/3

[arf]

Wait no you can't reveal your identity to me, that'll never work...

3/3

[arf]

...Unless we establish a drop at the park! Leave it in a suitcase! I promise I won't stake it out to find out your true identity!

[reincarnatedprince]

[His enthusiasm is cute, at least.]

... as I said it works like that back home, but it doesn't really do that in Avalon. I use light magic for that.

[arf]

Oh right... I don't have light magic... [ S i G h ]
