[cue the brief roar of a shower before the sound of the water being shut off.]

Keeping up a profile is hard work sometimes. Not in an everyday sense of style and appearance but with notable features, like your face. [the feed clicks on to Quentin drying his hair out with a towel. it's relatively normal, until you take a closer look at the pink stains in the towel and streaked across his white shirt.] Since the first impressions come from the face, we look for a couple of key traits. But, no matter the judgement, we use these keys to support our impressions and info of the person.

Say you take a guy in glasses with well kept hair who dresses sharply. What would you think of him? Now take the same guy, shave his hair and dye it, and give him faded and raggedy clothing. Would your opinion change? [he pauses briefly to remove the towel around his head, unveiling his newly dyed pink hair.] Come on, don't lie. We're all a little biased.

It's the very principle of being judged or having that distinct face that we strive for appearances.

Which reminds me...

I'm pretty sure that little...incident was your doing.

[ the most innocent!! ]

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm referring to.

Nothing comes to mind.

Midnighter and Jenny.

[ oh well then

they might be smirking

maybe ]

Oh... [ head tilts ] Possibly.

I FUCKING KNEW IT.

[ vague smirks are all you get in reply to that ]

Fuck off!

Don't take it so hard.

You're horrible, horrible, people.

That's breaking one of our rules!

No, the rule was that "we also cannot leave subconscious prompts after the fight, no matter who wins".

[ telepathic memory ]

Nothing was said about prompts left during the fight itself.

That's mind control! Breaking our other rule!

"Tampering with memory and thought is off limits. Delving for secrets are a no go. But after that, everything is a free for all in this rumble. Everything except death and comas or irreparable brain damage."

[ it's like reading it out of an encyclopedia ]

We were entirely within the rules.

And you thought it'd be funny to give me... that!?

You're the sick ones if you're thinking about my dick!

We thought it would be amusing. But we've been off in gauging that sort of thing since the Phoenix. [ still smirking ] Did anybody laugh when it happened? Outside confirmation would be the way to go about this.

It's anatomy. You're the one shrieking like a child about it.

I'm not telling you zip.

You're the ones who can't seem to let go of the fact that you think I'm a slug! And then you go and do something like that! Maybe I'll give you a subtle suggestion to go around and kiss every hobo you see. Every hobo.

So that's a yes. Was it Jenny?

We don't think you're a slug. We know you are. [ hair flips ] How many hobos do you think we run into? We keep rather better company than that. Never mind we would never miss something like that.
