Turnabout Knighthood [Video, Dated Pre-Iris]

[trenchdoting]

[The video feed clicks on, and a scruffy-looking man appears on the screen. He seems to be wearing his standard green trenchcoat over a Moon Knights uniform, and he has a proud grin stretching across his face.]

Hey there, pals! I did it!! I finally passed that test and made the Moon Knights! [A pause.] ...Oh, and also the name's Dick Gumshoe if you don't know me. I promise to do my best to solve crimes and protect people from danger around here! I- I don't exactly have any powers or anything, but I can be pretty resourceful, and I've got a few secret weapons at my disposal! In fact, I've got a few new ones now! Some kinda lie-detecting tablets, plus a magical... shield barrette... thingy! Pretty neat, huh? ...Anyway, if there's any trouble that needs to be investigated, just let me know. I'm the guy for the job, pal!

Hey, now! Congrats, Mr. Knight.

They give you an official title? Besides "Moon Knight," naturally.

[technically, Gumshoe now has the power to arrest him in both here and on Earth.]

[It must be a comforting thought!]

Heh! Thanks, pal.

No fancy title or anything. The starting rank's just called a 'knight', and 'officer' is the next step up, so I can't call myself that. ...Maybe I can keep on calling myself Detective. Or something like Sir Shoe?

[spah]

[at least being a highly wanted man in 2 states and several small countries doesn't matter on another planet!!]

Hmh.

"Sir Gumshoe" has a ring to it.

[trenchdoting]

[What happens on another Earth, stays on another Earth!]

Yeah!! It does, doesn't it? It sounds all refined and all, pal! And if I'm a knight, that technically means I can call myself that, right?

[spah]

Don't see why not! Sounds like a cool breeze on a hot day, if ya ask me.

So what kinda duties they got ya on now, "Sir Gumshoe"?

[trenchdoting]

It does? I'm a big fan of cool breezes on hot days, pal! So thanks!

Well I take orders from officers, and I can basically arrest and lock up people who're up to no good! And I can write up citations!

[spah]

Me too.

Ah, regular cop work. Not like that's a bad thing. Just surprised knights gotta do that too.

[trenchdoting]

I hear you, pal! It really is a lot more like a normal police force than the whole "swords and armor" deal. I'm kinda relieved by that, actually! I doubt I'd be any good on horseback, pal!

[spah]

No kiddin'. I'm almost disappointed you don't get a sword.

[trenchdoting]

You and me both! But I don't know the first thing about waving one around... But hey, if I ever learned, nothing'd stop me from getting one for myself!

[spah]

I got a feelin' they'd teach you.

[trenchdoting]

You think they would? Heh, that'd be real awesome of them, pal! I sure hope so!
