Swinging about town
He'd been really good all day. Ben had managed to mostly pay attention in class, even participated once, gone straight home the normal way and pretty much finished his homework (though mom probably knew he'd lied about being done) all before asking to go out webslinging again. Best behavior meant feeling terribly cooped up but it was worth it for finally being free to swing around town and fight crime for a bit.

So Ben gets his spider threads on and is out the window, already grinning goofily under that mask. Yeah, this was pretty sweet. Now to see if he could find something to do. If not he was going to try and beat his record for number of flips off the Empire State Building.

	"Probably right. So, I'm guessing this is the part where you usually skedaddle before the cops come? I get it, no costume, you'll get a lot of suspicious looks. Ever think of one? Gives you street cred. Okay...some costumes do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah that sounds about right. Best not to be around for questions. The no costume thing worked for Luke Cage. Definitely a lot better than his costumed look. Besides I like my look and makes blending a lot easier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That yellow thing with the headband was so funny though! I mean, props to going all out for the disco craze look. The tiara really brings it all together," Ben chats as he walks up a lamp post to hang from his webs upside down off it. "The retro look is in now I hear. Not going to give it a shot?"

	"Only he could make a tiara manly. Even if it was only barely so," Ryan says looking for his exit, "I've had this look for a couple years now so I think this works well for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Change is good I hear. But then again, I'm sure the MTV people said that and we both know that's just going downhill for quality." 'Webs' lowers himself with his web line, still hanging upside down, so he isn't so high above Ryan. "So about that food place..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll just keep with my classic look for now," Ryan says, "There's a good Italian food place not to far from here and there's also a Shawarma stand nearby too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-04 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"Don't think the italian place would let me in dressed like this unless there's some dress-like-a-hero special going on. Shwarma it is! Wanna come?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What the hell sure I could go for a quick bite to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-04 04:40 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome! Race you there!" And off he goes swinging. That's of course before he reaches the end of the street and remembers he actually doesn't know which shawarma stand Ryan is referring to. "Um...so...where is it exactly again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-04 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"This way," Ryan says running the other way laughing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-04 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"You totally did that on purpose," Ben calls out as he laughs and swings to follow after Ryan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No you just took off before I could give directions," Ryan says as he keeps running. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still going to beat you!" And it doesn't take much for Ben to catch up with his web slinging. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-04 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Not sure that really matter much unless you can pay for it," Ryan calls up to Ben. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-04 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	Ben seems to freeze at that. "Oh shoot! No pockets means...ugh. I really need to work pockets into this thing. Umm...you have a few dollars I can borrow? I'll pay you back I promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-05 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about it," Ryan says, "I'm buying. You don't have to pay me back." It didn't look like Ben had pockets in his costume. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it. It's no trouble at all," Ryan says. He did have money to spare so it really wasn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"Cool. I should work pockets into this thing somehow. Kinda hard if you're always flipping around to have pockets though," he explains as he does just that on their way there, more flips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-05 04:22 am UTC (link)
	"So what about pockets on the inside then," Ryan says as they get closer, "Could hold at least a couple buck in there without much trouble I would guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 04:40 am UTC (link)
	"Spandex, it'd totally screw it up to have random bumps and stuff if you're flipping. Besides, it'd be hard to get things inside those pockets," he points out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crescentdart 2012-12-05 04:42 am UTC (link)
	"You could probably find a place to roll the money in somewhere kind of like putting a few bucks in your socks when you don't have pockets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, but if I lend you a few dollars ever...don't ask where they were." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure thing. To be honest I don't think I want to know where most of my money has been over the years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2012-12-05 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well over the years for sure, but I'm just saying...don't ask where it was 5 minutes before you got it. This costume isn't very roomy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
