Not Who It Looks Like! (meme response)
Guardian was out on patrol, working his favorite route. It sent him past four corner stores that got frequently held up, his favorite kebab vendor, and a little patisserie that made simply amazing caramel-covered marshmallows.

	"Well there you have it! New ideas expand horizons right? And designing costumes can be fun, you get to make a whole new identity if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack rubs his chin, thinking it over. "I could probably ask my boss... although I don't think I need as much heavy weaponry as her costume has. Not too many superhero identities work with my powers though... wait, are you just pretending to be Spider-Man, or do you have some other name? Is 'Scarlet Spider' still up for grabs?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-11-29 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Eh...probably no heavy weaponry if you really want the Scarlet Spider thing," he hastily added. "And really man? Why would we be talking about Spider-Man costumes if I was just pretending?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No no, I don't mean pretending to be a hero in general, but... is that what you're calling yourself? Spider-Man? I thought you might just be spider-affiliated somehow, like... the Black Spider, or the Tarantula, or Webmaster, or something... Oh, wait... are you actually black underneath your costume too? Was Black Spider offensive?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-01 03:13 am UTC (link)
	He just...blinked under the mask, a little in shock that someone would say all that. "Uh...there was a lot there that was rather offensive, not just that part..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-01 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh, sorry." He fidgets. "Which part was offensive?" He starts walking up the side of the lightpost, getting a little tired of having to crane his neck, and raise his voice for the distance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ben skittered to the end of the light post, to give him some space, but also he wasn't too comfortable to be too close to the strange totally-not-a-spider. "Well umm...first the pretending bit before, that's not cool man. First meeting between costumed heroes and you can't go implying pretending, it's just not cool okay? Uh next...Webmaster? Really? But on the topic of the Black Spider thing, first of all not cool to ask about secret ID stuff on the first meeting, that includes what race you or I are under here. I mean...full body costume and mask for a reason right? And like...well asking someone in a mask what their race is, is just...well it kinda is a bit rude and can be offensive. So umm....maybe watch all that stuff."

	Jack listens patiently, and nods. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I'm sure you're a very good superhero, whether you're taking Spider-Man's name or using something else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-02 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"Okay well...cool. Umm...so yeah, look into your own costume thing. What are you going by now anyway?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh... just the name I was programmed with. 'Guardian'. It took me a while, but I decided I kind of like it even without having to like it. Simple. Evocative. Says what I'm about pretty easily." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-06 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"Right yeah...simple is usually better or the media makes up their own weird name and chances are it's not flattering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-07 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Did that happen to you, or did you make some kind of formal announcement that you were the new Spider-Man? Did you have a press conference?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-09 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"A press conference?" His mask scrunched up a bit as he made a face at the suggestion. "I mean...if you want I guess. It's not my thing, I mean the Avengers do press conferences but they're big and...pretty public." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-13 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Man, I'd love to be an Avenger some day... but, I can't leave my teammates." He looks over his shoulder before leaning in. "They don't even realize they're superheroes, half the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-13 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"What team are you on?" Come to think of it, that hadn't been mentioned yet. Ben looked around too as Jack did, then leaned in a bit to hear. "Really? How do you be a superhero and not know it? I thought that sort of thing was easy to spot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-14 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	"The THUNDERBOLTS!" Jack declares proudly. He then sighs and throws up his arms as he nods. "I know, right? I mean, we've got powers or are badass guys in general; we fight the bad guys and save the day... superheroes, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-16 01:44 am UTC (link)
	He could only say he was more familiar with the old incarnation of the team. And that wasn't too confidence inspiring. "Powers, costumes, and on a team sounds pretty superhero. Especially with a team name like that," he shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-22 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Tell me about it..." Jack huffs, as folding his arms is interrupted by his stomach growling again. "...you want to join me for second lunch?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-23 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	He just stared for a moment under the mask. Seriously, he'd just seen the guy eat. "Uh...sure, why not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2013-12-26 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Being a shapeshifter burns a lot of calories, so I eat a lot. Sugars and high protein meats are best. And ice cream sandwiches." His own supply. Not Martin's. He shimmies down the streetlight post to order them each a triple. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-12-29 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"So uh...how do you keep money in that thing?" What? It was a good question to ask and one he wanted to know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2014-01-01 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	"If I concentrate, I can make a pocket open and shut." He points to his hip, then reaches two fingers in to retrieve some money. (It comes out perfectly clean, for the record.) He pays Phil, the cart owner, for the next round. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2014-01-03 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Ben paused as he thought about that. "So if you're a shapeshifter type, and you make pockets out of yourself...is that like keep money under your skin or something? And what happens if you don't concentrate? Where does the money go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Never tried it with anything bigger than a phone or wallet, but... yeah, I guess I could use a good portion of my body for storage, if I tried.

Jack considers this, munching on his first kebab. "I guess I'm not 'programmed' to think of money or other stuff as something that should be food. I've never tried putting anything I wanted to eat in my pockets when I'm in uniform."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2014-01-05 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"You could be like a human pocket or storage container in that case," he said as rolled up his mask partway to eat his kebab, thanking Jack for it first. "Well if the food is in a wrapper I don't think you're as likely to consume it in your 'pockets'. Maybe if you just stuck some nuts in one to try?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2014-01-12 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Hm. Maybe." He looks over Spider-Man's costume. "Do you have pockets in that thing? I think I remember the old Spider-Man having a backpack made out of webs..." He pauses, then slouches a little bit. "Well... not 'remember', but... that's info they put in my brain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2014-01-15 11:22 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah the web-backpack thing...sorta an on-off deal really. Doesn't really work with the rest of the threads. And no, no pockets, I mean, where would I fit them?" He pulled the sides of the skin-tight suit a bit to prove his point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2014-01-16 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah... maybe you should invest in a belt with some pouches. Doesn't have to be one on the waist. Market research says thigh and bicep belts are on the verge of a comeback." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2014-01-20 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Ben wrinkled his nose at that under the mask. "Ugh no, I've got a streamlined look. A belt would ruin that. And bicep belts? What's next? Frosted tips and giant guns? No no, I'm not going down that slippery slope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2014-02-07 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I dunno... I think frosted tips are making a comeback. But you're probably right on the rest of it. You've got that scrawny underdog you want to root for thing going with the streamlined." Jack nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2014-02-15 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah but-wait, I'm just scrawny now. I'm totally going to grow into my build, some people just take longer!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
