[There's a little girl grinning at the camera when the feed clicks on, waving enthusiastically. Her face and hands are covered in three different kinds of glitter, but luckily her adorable sweatshirt (it has giraffes on it) has miraculously managed to stay clean.]

Greetings, fellow heroes! My name's Mabel. I don't have a codename yet but I'm working on it! Along with-- [She reaches off screen to pull out a square of fabric covered in stickers and glitter.] --this! It's gonna be my cape when it's done.

Anyway, since I'm new to being a hero, I'm open to any advice my more experienced superfriends may have! Whether it's about capes or masks or where the craft store is. Especially that last part, since I'm almost out of stickers.

--and if anybody in house eighteen sees some pigs in the kitchen, don't worry. Those are the Waddles Juniors and they're with me. If they're down there they're just hungry.

Is your costume meant to have a theme?

[glitterateur]

I was thinking of making it pig themed, but that really limited me creatively! And I don't have any pink glitter.

[housenurse]

You don't need all of those things to be a hero! Though the clothes are important.

[She's getting strong Mako vibes here.]

[glitterateur]

Clothes are part of the image! And image is very important if you're going to fight crime.

[huitzilin]

I love it! Your cape is great! It sparkles and everything!

You're going to make a great superhero!

I bet you could fight aliens and robots and everything.

[glitterateur]

Aww, thank you! Finally, my efforts are appreciated.

I don't know about everything, but aliens and robots and evil wax figures I can definitely handle.

[Wow, even Starscream would be jealous of that cape. Metalhawk smiles as he watches her introduce herself, unable to really keep from answering.]

I have a feeling we all have strict competition now that you're here.


I don't know much about superheroes myself except that they have to have powers that coincide with their name.

[glitterateur]

We're not in competition, silly! We're working together.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. That makes it kind of hard when you have a unique and special power.

[sassguard]

Waddles Juniors?

[glitterateur]

Haha, yeah. They're cute little guys!

[everylittlething]

Oh, oh, oh! I have plenty of cape advice! You want it long enough to be flowy and swishy, but not long enough to get stuck in a door or your locker.

And you want to use something that hangs nicely! Starchy capes are a major faux pas!

[glitterateur]

How could I forget how important the swish is! There's no way the felt I used is going to cut it. This is way more complicated than I thought it would be.

VOICE.

[soldiarity]

Isn't it better the cape not be... flashy? You can't take people by surprise wearing that.

[glitterateur]

What if I used black glitter? Black is stealthy, isn't it?

[...wow that's painfully cute. And for once he's not going to be a douchebag because how can you be a dick to little girls?]

I dunno where the craft store is. But for a cape or mask, maybe just try something that's comfortable. If you're in Heropa, it gets pretty hot. Maybe a hat'll help hide your face and keep you shaded, too.

[because wow he's not going to tell her to go hunt crime at night.]

[glitterateur]

I'm from California so I can handle a little heat. But a hat! That's a great idea, mister. I can do a lot with a sunhat.

[sniptuck]

I work at the craft store now!

[glitterateur]

You do? That's almost as good as my job! Do you get discounts? Do they have knitting supplies? What about stickers?

yesssss finally able to get CR with you!!! | also sparkly video

[heartboxer]

[ What a cute child! She's obviously emulating what it means to be a hero! WELL, If we aren't careful this could easily become a Higglytown hero moment. ]

I believe I saw a craft store on McHenry and Ellis. It was called Sparkle Emporium! I noted such a wonderful name for later use! [ THIS IS OBVIOUSLY HOW THEIR FIRST REAL INTERACTION SHOULD GO. ]

aw yeah

[glitterateur]

Sparkle Emporium! That's perfect, exactly what I need. Have you already been inside? [because whoever this man is, he's got sparkles to spare]

What does any human need eighteen pigs for?

[ He's watched a lot of TV and that has never even come up before. Unless it was on Hoarders. Hmmm. ]

[glitterateur]

What couldn't you do with eighteen pigs? But nah, I only have five. Are you a real robot? [He looks like a robot, but it could just be his superpower.]

[ecphrasis]

You have pet pigs?

[glitterateur]

They're more like a posse of best friends.

[There's a sound of pigs oinking in agreement in the background.]

[aggressiveapathy]

Never do a cape. Masks, okay. But not the stupid can-still-see-your-hair-ones that seem mandatory for boob bearers.

[glitterateur]

The cape is a must! I need to express myself.

[video]

[acrobrat]

[Wow. Someone's taking this really well and doesn't seem frantic or whatever.]

I could point you to the place where I work. For some reason I'm a part-time stationary designer.

[glitterateur]

Oooh, stationary! What a great job you got!

[thanatophobias]

[oh.]

You don't have to be a superhero.

[glitterateur]

But I must! When destiny calls, Mabel answers.
