"This is Jason. Leave a message.

Or don't. I don't care."

[he stares at him-- and takes the mask back.]

Sure.

[but he's a little surprised-- even if he realizes he's grateful he did that.]

... No harm, this time.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He lingers a little too long looking back at Jason's face - imagining him with the mask on, in full gear...

It was cool.]

...You ever gonna need to wear it here?

[mind_blown]

I'd like to. Could probably get away with it if I wanted to be somewhat unknown. This is supposed to protect my secret identity. And there's not that many people to hide among.

[and he knows he is big and stands out]

[gigadevilbreaker]

...You weren't here when we got dumped into actual Hell for maintenance, right?

[mind_blown]

Right after, actually.

[but his eyes follow Griffin's for a moment]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Right. Well - since we were in the real Hell, we were right where our 'audience' could recognize us.

Secret identity actually came in handy, there.

[mind_blown]

Then I better not give it away too early, sounds like.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Never know when it might come in handy.

Y'know, I did my share of vigilantism there too. Lit a demon on fire, it was great.

[mind_blown]

Aren’t you a demon hunter? Kind of surprised it was just that, then.

But I bet it felt good.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Not like I killed every demon I came across - we were supposed to keep a low profile.

Just the ones mistreating the working ladies in the red light district.

[mind_blown]

Wow.

[he glances over him again, considering.

And then he finally settles for teasing lightly,]

And you had no clue how a secret identity could be useful.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, yeah, 'cause I was 'famous'.

Unless you're gonna tell me you were a TV star back home too.

[mind_blown]

There’s no way in hell.

[he hasn’t remembered “Bruce wayne, millionaire playboy” yet.]

In fact, that sounds like literal hell.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He can't help but laugh at that kneejerk response]

Yeah, you weren't exactly made for the limelight.

[mind_blown]

That’s the kind of pressure I’d crack under. Maybe destroy a TV set.

[but hey, he’s smiling in amusement at Griffin, as he explains this with the utmost sincerity, and airy hand gestures.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin watches him with open fondness, following his hand motions - forgetting to feel awkward.]

Oh I dunno, that sounds like the kinda entertainment I'd watch.

[mind_blown]

You... but probably not many other people.

My best friend made an advertisement trying to sell out our ass kicking services. I’ve never wanted to strangle someone more than in that moment.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Please tell me Red Hood was on a billboard. Subway ads? Late night infomercial. Flyers, at least.

[mind_blown]

“Rent a bat.” To which I am offended— I’m clearly not related to any bats anymore.

And it was on a billboard.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[omg. Griffin pumps a fist in victory]

Billboard. I knew it.

[mind_blown]

You’re laughing at my misery.

[he doesn’t look miserable]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[It's so hard to keep a straight face]

I'm celebrating... your soon to be very profitable start up business.

[mind_blown]

Pretty sure that doesn’t stick around, but hey. Optimism.

[he inclined his head towards Griffin]

[gigadevilbreaker]

That's me. Always lookin' on the bright side.

[mind_blown]

[jeeze.

He needs to stop.]

Guess that’s a good balance for me.
