[There's the sound of paper turning in the background.]

How come? It's a pretty big thing to give some random vigilante a name, right?

[trustinthedevil]

It probably sells more papers than "random guy in a mask".

[primedirector]

Oh, so you already had a costume. [The grin is evident in her voice.] Just not the costume.

What made it vigilantism and not just like. Beating the shit out of a guy while you wore a mask?

[trustinthedevil]

[ It is absolutely just beating the shit out of guys while wearing a mask. ]

I used it to subsidize my day job. It's easier to pick apart criminal activity that way than in a courthouse.

[ Look, he's not proud of it. ]

[primedirector]

Okay, I'm... pretty sure that's illegal. On like. Multiple levels.

[trustinthedevil]

I used to believe in the justice system and the good it could do. Now I know just how deep the corruption runs in it, and if breaking a few laws means I can keep the really bad people off the streets, then that's a price I'm willing to pay.

[primedirector]

I get that, I just don't think you should get to be a lawyer and dole out extrajudiciary justice.

[trustinthedevil]

I guess that's why I'm an inmate and you're not.

[primedirector]

So we're being smartasses about that now.

[trustinthedevil]

It's like you said. Illegal on multiple levels, double dipping into the system. I would definitely be incarcerated.

[primedirector]

Sure, but that's not the same thing as being an inmate on the Barge. And I'm pretty sure it's not actually why you're here, or- not on its own, at least.

[trustinthedevil]

If it is, then we're both in trouble, because that's not about to change.

[primedirector]

Well, maybe you can give me some advice later on if alien possession is sufficient grounds for termination.
