Skidmark held the microphone and wore his traditional costume, dark blue and skintight, with the lower half of his face and the area around his eyes exposed.
Lower half and the area around his eyes? That’s pretty much the whole damn face, isn’t it, leaving only a T-shaped bit to stick his nose into?
As costumes went, it was pretty lame, even with the cape that he’d added since the last time I’d seen him. Especially with the cape.
It’s been such a long time since I got the chance to do this…

There were people who could pull off that sort of thing, like Alexandria. Skidmark wasn’t one of them.
Capes make you look regal, powerful, in a way. Which is why it’s fitting that Skidmark added one between being a sad sack of potatoes and an important sad sack of potatoes. But in order to have the proper effect, you need to look powerful beyond just the cape. People can tell the difference between an actual powerful person and some pathetic douche who’s just trying to look like one by wearing a cape.
