Been a while but back with part three of bat encounters as a born and bred gothamite :D
This is my second to last one I think guys but I think this might be my favourite instance of being saved by a Gotham hero so far!
So if you've been following me I think I've mentioned that I'm a giant fan of Signal and this is actually why
Sooo like uhh two? Yeah two months ago I was volunteering at Gotham General Hospital, I read to the little kids sometimes, and we were attacked by ✨condiment king✨.
I know he isn't our city's most well known villain so if you're a non-gothamite that doesn't know him, count yourself lucky. He isn't like evil-evil but he's annoying as fuckkkk. Anytime he wants to do some fucking villainous act WHEREVER HE ATTACKS GETS SHUT DOWN FOR WEEKS BECAUSE THERES SAUCE EVERYWHERE. and then even after it'll smell like ketchup for months.
He doesn't usually do too much damage, unless some bigger villain is using him as a lackey but he sucks.
Anyways, I'd been volunteering in the morning and was going to head home to do some homework before lunch, and of course as soon as I walk into the lobby he smashes through a window. The entire lobby is completely red in seconds, which would normally be concerning for a hospital except of course this mysterious red substance smelled not like iron, but a sickly sweet tomato scent. Fucking ketchup.
Now you might be thinking that hospital attacks seem a little off brand for condiment king, which is true. Except I think he might have somehow gotten the giant ass hospital confused with a small bank down the street because he came careening in screaming "MAYO YOU OPEN YOUR SAFES FOR ME PERHAPS? I SHALL TRULY RELISH EMPTYING YOUR VAULTS"
It took like three seconds for Signal to come through the window after him, completely covered in mustard. "I THOUGHT I LOST YOU THREE BLOCKS AGO? HOWEVER DID YOU KETCHUP?".
I cannot express with words how visibly exasperated Signal was, even with only half of his face visible. I swear he was visibly considering breaking the bats no kill rule.
Condiment King was tied up and dragged out in seconds.
Not the most dangerous situation I've been in, or the most dramatic but it was so incredibly absurd. This may be a tiny bit parasocial of me but Signal's visible exhaustion and exasperation was so relatable he's been my favourite hero ever since.
This is a pro signal blog, signal hate will not be tolerated, I am willing to fight over this matter, trust.
Yea, anyways, that's it, byeeeee
