Costume shop on the mainland- Monday afternoon

[throughaphase]

Another year, another hunt for a suitable costume. After her stuff was done for the day, Kitty and Irene set out for the costume store for some quality shopping time.

"Okay, I don't know about you," Kitty said as they walked in, "but I have no real idea of what I want yet."

This was how you ended up dressed as a giant banana, probably.


[NFB, and for Irene!]

"Well, they'd go with about half the costumes here, so I'd think quite a few," Irene mused. "Irritated letters from cops, and dominatrices, and SWAT team members, and possibly some superheroes...."

"I can't think of any superheroes off the top of my head that use handcuffs," she said thoughtfully.

Except for, you know. Cough.

"You all have different methods to apprehend the evildoers?" Irene asked, raising a brow. "Or is it a case of the evildoers not necessarily being well-restrained by something as flimsy as cuffs?"

[throughaphase]

"Both, depending on the case," Kitty replied. "Sometimes you just have to knock 'em out, or find a way to restrain them on the fly till the cops show up. Plus handcuffs don't go very well with spandex."

Unless it was the 90's and you had four hundred pockets.

"They go marvelously with leather." Shh, Irene. "So you're not the cops, technically? Is there a conflict of authority there over who handles what?"

She'd seen movies! Half the time the cops seemed very into summoning their superheroes using creative lighting, and the other half of the time they printed outrageous news headlines calling them menaces.

Kitty shook her head. "Not the cops at all. More vigilantes, if I'm being honest. But the cities and world and space get attacked a lot so we do more than just bringing in criminals. And cops are generally not fans. Especially when it comes to mutants."

There was a lot to process there, but Irene was going to pick the most interesting, immediately. "Space?" she prompted, lifting her brows.

"Oh. Yeah, aliens exist. And space gets lets fun when some of the aliens have nasty teeth," she admitted.

"I knew about the aliens," Irene clarified, and that was yet another phrase she had never imagined herself saying. "I just didn't know that exactly fell within your jurisdiction, so to speak."

"Sometimes, depending on what's going on," Kitty said. "And I've had friends who've been hosts to cosmic entities and things like that."
