That was the arcade game, and I always found a pen more effective. Even after they put guards around the tops of the buttons, you could usually get a pen to make contact. On the downside, I’m sure I permanently flattened the knuckle on my left hand middle finger playing that game…
You mean Freakazoid. No need to be redundant and say the some thing over and over

I feel compelled to interject here to correct the spelling of tetrahedron and trapezoid. Not you, Plasma Mongoose, I know you knew how to spell it correctly (probably).
What makes her think amazigirl is a freshman? I know She just showed up this year, but realisticly it could be anybody who just decided to be a vigilante one day
lord of dance
hunch id imagine. that or a transfer student. its flimsy but she seems too well trained and experienced to have been put together in a spur of the moment, and no ones heard of her before this year
Reminds me of when Ras Alghul tracked down Batman and figured out he was Bruce Wayne. Wonder if Galasso might do the same to marry off Talia to run his pizza empire.
That might explain why Dorothy has a nice figure. However, I would imagine that even if Dorothy can catch her, what exactly could she do to force Amazi-Girl to answer her questions?
*Awaits the inevitable comments from the shipping department*
Amazigirl was pretty cool with being seen in public and being pretty conspicuous before Dorothy took a picture. Dorothy probably could have gotten a decent pic if she hid out.
That is a suspiciously valid point. Amazi-Girl is a known public figure, and even signs autographs. Why would she not want her picture taken? Is it because she is a known vigilante who can be sued by the people that she “brings to justice”, or does she merely hate paparazzi?
It has been clarified that her identity cannot be verified from her costume, as Billie and Danny have both failed to make the connection between mask and person. In addition, it seems very implausible for there not to be a picture of her since she does, in fact, make public appearances. Since that is the assumption, it also brings into question her fanbase. Her fans are likely to try to deduce who she is on facial recognition alone, and it should be fairly easy to come up with an identification with the amount of research obsessed fans are likely to put into their free time.
So, what does she have against the photo? If Amazi-Girl is not afraid of being identified in costume, and she is not afraid of becoming a public figure, what other reason could she have to avoid media contact?
I’d bet she keeps her public appearances short to avoid people looking too closely. We never saw how many autographs went out, after all, and it’s early enough in the year that even the most obsessive fans wouldn’t have seen her more than once or twice. A picture would be something people could stare at and compare to other pictures without their memory messing things up. And as for Billie and Danny- Danny’s only seen her in the dark, and Billie never got a good look at her face (and might not know who Amber is). The party guests probably got a better look at her, but might not have included anyone she knows. The picture would be seen by everyone, even Mike and Ethan, and Mike would definitely recognize and expose her because he’s Mike.

replace “Thorny Bushes” with Electric Fence” and you have a game classic from Blammo ……

That sounds like the beginning of an awesome story we’re never going to hear.

One of the remakes of Bloody Mary (one of the B&W ones, I think) had just that.

A BUSH? IMPOSSIBLE! Wait, that’s completely possible.

Curse you bush! From this day forth I swear vengeance! I shall hunt down your kind and murder them to extinction!

Behold bush! I shall now defeat you with my superior mental mind powers!

A razor and some lotion will help with that problem.

By which she means the NES Track & Field? =D

She used the old ruler trick to win.

By which you mean she won because she rules so much.

Not exactly but let’s just go with that, OK?

Now that would be an awkward love triangle…

that’d prolly be more of a tetrihedron…

All we need now is a convincing looking male crossdresser and it be a trapezium.
Khrene Cleaver
Why wouldn’t it just be a trapizoid
Plasma Mongoose
For some reason, the first thing that came to mind when I saw trapizoid was a genderbender Freakazoid.

Plasma Mongoose
Trapezium: 4-sided shape with no parallel sides.
Trapizoid: 4-sided shape with one set of parallel sides.
Zababcd
Trapezoid: 4-sided shape with one set of parallel sides.
Both trapezium and trapezoid are spelled with an ‘e’.

If only AG was wearing something that would make her easier to grab…. HMMMMMM!

If she’s smart, that cape can be easily removed.

Yay!! Incredibles reference is….
Incredible. Oh, I should’ve seen that coming. I apologize for that.

It could fasten with a pair of magnets. Holds fine under normal circumstances, but put it under the slightest tension and it’ll just pull off.
lord of dance
she can use that cape to steal someones phone from their hand… i dont think dorothy should go anywhere NEAR that cape
Doctor_Who
Hmmm, think Dorothy will find a way to cross reference new students with school team records?
lord of dance
as i understand it iu is a big school. even if she shortened it to freshman track girls with brown hair i imagine it would be quite the list

Countdown until she drops her DS?

Yeah, you probably got it right.

She changed her handle on it to ‘Amazi Girl so Danny wouldn’t know, so it doesn’t really matter much.

force her to watch “The Sound of Music”, an idea she got from her favorate show.

She’s trying to keep to genre conventions. Everyone knows that dark vigilantes can’t be photographed.

Dina is just taking precautions because she doesn’t want pictures of her in crime fighting gear.

But Amazigirl is Ultracar.
Wait, Ben is Glory?
Gneiss
So….you’re saying that Ben knows something about Glory?

So can we assume there is some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?

Dorothy:Oh yeah, well I’m black belt in karate.
Amazi-Girl:So? I’m a master in judo, jujitsu and kung fu.

“Batman: year one” reference? Or am I overthinking this?

If Dotty learnt karate from one of those McDojos, then chances are, she didn’t learn how to fight too well.
