Riddle 013: Spreading That Christmas Cheer [Action]

[questionauthority]

[Christmas Time is coming! Today, you'll probably find Edward in one of three locations.

A. At the Christmas Village, dressed in his little "Helper Elf" costume and freezing furiously. He does not look at all happy to be there.

B. Wandering through the town, dressed in a warm, green pea-coat, a jade scarf wrapped around his neck, just admiring the winter scenery.

C. Back at home, meticulously setting something up on the dining room table. Once he's finished, he'll call upstairs.]

Slugger? Susan? I'd like it if you could come to the dining room, please. ...Susan, you're free to call upon your Grandfather, too, if you like.

It's thinner in texture than my old spandex from back home. And even then, that was really just for spring or summer weather.

....

[Frowns]

...when did you wear spandex?

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...every so often. When my suit was too bulky or too warm.

[Don't judge him, Harley.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[She's from the animated series. She hasn't seen him in spandex.]

Must have missed it.

You should probably stick with the suit.

[Too bad the spandex is back, as of Batman #705. Along with a long green trenchcoat. Every so often, I fear for Edward's fashion sense.]

I've never criticized your costume.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[Oh dear....]

Hey, I said I liked the suit.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[Not to mention his crazy long hair. What the hell.]

The suit, yes. But there's always something odd about a man wearing spandex, isn't there?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[Oh god.]

....yeah. Sorry. It just looks kinda weird.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

It's in my right to wear what I want to wear. I've never seen you complain about Jonathan or any of his bizarre outfits. And you girls flaunt yourselves in spandex and leather all day, every day. And yet when I wear spandex, it's weird.

[Wearing an elf costume is unforgivable, yes, but he'll be damned if he's not allowed to wear his ridiculous spandex.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

That's cause he's supposed to be a Scarecrow.

Well yeah. It's our costumes. You should stick with yours.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...I'm just saying, I'm allowed to have more than one costume.

[Sulk.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I guess.

But it's kinda like a trademark....

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Either way, you see green. You see question marks. You hear riddles. I strike a pose? Question: Who is that handsome devil?

Answer: the Riddler.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I guess....

I still think you look better in the suit.

[She doesn't even remember seeing in the spandex but hey priorities.]

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

...do you even have a second costume? You must. Nearly everyone does.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Nope just my regular one.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

I'd thought so.
