[OOC] Titans of Gotham [Spots Available!]

[Sigil]

If nothing else, the past week seems to have revealed the core members in the group. The Titans were always a smaller, close-knit group anyway. If we ever get this communication thing worked out, we'll be unstoppable.

Fewer tacos for El Sasquatcho to procure during his dietary cheat nights. It is both joyous and dismal, all at the same time.

Hurrah for Ves' naivety!

So, this is fun:

At work, there are several people who take interest in my charming little characters I make for RPs and games, whatnot. This began a long while ago when I got hold of a Java program, made to replicate character generation for the old Marvel RPG from back in the 90's. I began to create some of the most interesting (some very random) characters, saved them, and occasionally went back to tweak them if I came upon a good idea. I have a number stockpiled, some massively powered, some more modestly.

I made a number of them for my kids. Yes, I am old. They provide no small amount of inspiration; I have made several characters just for them. Still more because I thought they were funny.

Now, back to the guys at work. They know about this, and why I keep doing it. Moreover, they had picked out a favorite a while ago. El Sasquatcho, hands down. It was an instant hit with the Spanish speakers, they want to know when I'm doing the comic book proper. Every week or so, one of them will ask me what I'm writing in for El Sasquatcho next.

Except one guy. He loves the idea, don't get me wrong, but he thought the concept of El Sasquatcho was wholly different than what it is. This co-worker is an older gentleman named Salvador, speaks maybe 30 words in English. He generally asks more bilingual employees to relate the stories of The Infamous El Sasquatcho, Sangre de El Santo. Needless to say, he's a big fan.

Here's the problem: It's common knowledge that I used to fight competitively. Somehow the two running stories got squished together in Salvador's mind, to the point that (and I just found this out yesterday) he thinks I am El Sasquatcho.

I'm going to repeat this, because it bears repeating:

He thinks that I am, in fact, the real El Sasquatcho.

Not the super-powered lover of tacos that we have come to know and tolerate here, but an actual Masked Luchador using the handle of El Sasquatcho in an underground wrestling circuit. And, because of my own lack of understanding of the Spanish language, I could not explain to him the difference.

In the end, I just told him thank you, and please don't tell anyone outside of work.

On an unrelated note, my 6 year old has thought that me and his mother are ninjas now for about two years. When he started to think otherwise he *accidentally* found a throwing star the wife had bought me. He was all whispering... "I know your secret, it's safe with me!" LOL

@Sigil

Lol xD that is one of the best things I've ever heard.

[Omega Man]

So I've decided which hero will come in to save the day, but I may write out @Endrance for a bit till she gets more time away from school work. No telling if Wildcat will be too slow finding the other kids, or if this hero is just that fast when he catches up to Freeze.

One of my pumpkins this year. I thought it would be a compelling draft of El Sasquatcho's mask. Design isn't finished quite yet, but it's good enough for the holiday.

Yes, I obsess on things.

<---

[Double]

What should I even post? There isn't really anything addressing Zero directly, and I can't think of anything else he would be doing, other than maybe wonder if any of his fight with Mr. Freeze actually happened or if he dreamed it all up. To be fair, Zero is the same guy who, not 30 minutes ago, lost it against a training robot, and now he not only stood up to Freeze (alone at one point, mind you) but actually managed to hold his ground. I think anyone in that position would just be sitting there in stunned silence.

[Omega Man]

Batman just told you good job, I'd personally be grinning from ear to ear...

I figured a few heroes who missed the action would have something to say, at least after Batman gave them all com-links.

~KL~

[Sigil]

In my defense, El Sasquatcho did ask him a logistical question on the matter.

[Sigil]

"El Sasquatcho wishes you all a Happy Dia De Los Muertos! Let us all meet back at the Gym for Peppery Hot Chocolate and the Pixar animated Book of Life, eh?"

...or in my case, the first episode of Ash vs the Evil Dead on TV. Yay!

[rocketrobie2]

So how's everybody doin'?

[Sigil]

Peachy, just peachy. Living the dream.

[Mr_pink]

Alright

[rocketrobie2]

T'is good.

[Omega Man]

If everybody's done with their reaction posts who wanted to do them I'm gonna advance the game this evening!

~KL~

[rocketrobie2]

Who's got two thumbs and just got accepted into the Titans RP?

THIS GUY!

Was just accepted via PM by KL

[Sigil]

Great! Let's keep this story rolling.

[Omega Man]

I'll be writing up my next post this evening that opens up a day or two after the thing with Freeze, and it will have Batman or Wildcat bringing Nightlife into the fold...

~KL~

[Mr_pink]

Great! Glad to get the plot moving again. Don't want to see this die.
