[ pink girl incoming ]

Hey guys! So, question- sorta.

Why do people have "secret identities" or hide their powers? [ quirks, that's what she wants to call it ] Like, I was told it's better if I can hide among the population, but that sucks, I like being pink.

That isn't really something that happens in my world. The point is that people know you. [ Hero Profession ends up being partially a popularity contest, although Mina also doesn't care much about that ]

Also, who's going to school? I have had a couple of classes and I'm very lost...

Well - when you go back and you kick that guy's ass and prove you are innocent - you can become like the best super hero and show your mom how great you are!

[ Mina claps her hands excitedly.

In any case, she is already peeling off her clothes to get into her hero suit and show it off to Harleen. She even has a little white mask to cover her face, although her pink skin is still there and it's a dead give away of who she is ]

[amenace]

Yah! [ She grins and makes a fist before going back to doing up her costume. Once the bodysuit is on she pulls on her shoes, a pair of converse knock-offs; one red and one black, and then the fuzzy jacket and mask go on.

Once she's done she holds out her arms. ] Tah-dah! What'd'ya think?

[pinkxeno]

Ohmigosh!! [ Mina bounces a little, pointing at Harleen ][ mina, of course, moves closer because what is personal space even?, and she tries to reach for the fuzzy jjacket ] It looks so cozy too!!

[ Mina herself has some fuzz on her own hero jacket - which was her own design - so naturally she loves Harleen's too ]

[amenace]

[ Harleen does a little turn so Mina can get a good look at her full costume. She doesn't mind the closeness or if Mina decides to feel her fuzzy jacket. ]

It is! It's perfect for the cooler nights in Gotham.

Your costume is super cute! [ Harleen reaches out to play with the fuzzy collar. ] I love the colors, they look great on you!

[pinkxeno]

[ it is so cozy, and Mina continues to pet it, very excited. ] I bet! And it's so colorful! [ she loves the red

and Mina giggles at the compliment burying her nose into the fuzz of her collar ] I love 'em, it's very me! The costume has to show your personality, they say!

[ She pats her own waist after ] But I dunno, I might change it a bit. I dunno if this is will be the final style.

[amenace]

Not nearly as colorful as you. [ She giggles. ]

What do you think you wanna change? [ She thinks the costume is pretty great, but she doesn't know a lot about making costumes. ]

[pinkxeno]

[ mina takes a step back, hand son her hips, thinking ] Hmm... i dunno, I see other people's costumes and they look so cool!

No capes because it'd get in the way... but maybe kneepads or elbow pads! Maybe a cool belt! Or gadgets, to store my acid so I can use it even when I get tired! [ honestly? she is just saying things out loud that sound cool, but has no actual idea how to apply them to her hero clothes ]

[amenace]

[ Harleen laughs. ] Capes are pretty silly.

[ She imagines she'd get all tangled up in it doing her acrobatics. ]

Pads make sense, gotta protect the pointy bits. [ She tilts her head a little as she looks over Mina's costume then looks down at herself. ] A belt for holding stuff would be hand, though it'd be worried about throwing off my balance. But it sounds like it'd be really useful for you.

[pinkxeno]

Yeah! I'm pretty active when fighting, so I should protect my joints more. [ as much she loves her hero costume, when she designed it, she didn't have defense in mind ]

You are right about balance... I wonder how I could store my acid if I ever run out of it, though.

[amenace]

[ She nods. ] Makes sense, yeah. I think I could do with some for my knees. Landin' on 'em sometimes kinda hurts. [ She wrinkles her nose. ]

[ Harleen looks thoughtful for a few moments before shrugging. ] M'not sure. Maybe one of the grownups would have an idea. They got more experience with the whole costume thing.

[pinkxeno]

Ohh that's a good idea! [ mina nods quickly. She should ask over the network at some point, and also ask for opinions on how to make her costume better ]

Imma do that then. Pretty sure there are people who build hero suits around here, right?

[amenace]

Probably. Bet the factions got their own, like, costume makers or whatever.

[ It makes sense to her that the factions would have people on their payroll to make costumes for them. ]

[pinkxeno]

That's right! heroes aren't making their own stuff, right? [ of course not! they have to look professional ]

I betcha the Alliance Guild has the best designers~

[amenace]

Don't think so. Not when they got the guilds.

[ She bobs her head in a nod. ] Yeah, I bet they do.
