RE: What's everyone up to right now?

Okay, between finishing my dinner as Rorschach and going to class, I got a few reactions, from a security guard wondering how I ate in that mask, which is an easy enough dilemma to solve:
At one point, however, a mother was walking around with her kid, a little girl just old enough to walk on her own. She stood dead in her tracks and started to squeal in fear as I passed her. I decided I should just take off the face to reveal there’s nothing to fear. I considered staying in character and explaining that I was only interested in striking fear in the hearts of evildoers, especially those who harm little kids like her. But I think it was pretty hard to convey this in terms that would be reassuring to a girl who couldn’t be older than three:
There may be circumstances where it’s permissible to scare the crap out of children, but a little girl who’s just walking down a hall is not one of those circumstances.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, a girl behind a desk saw me and shouted out “Watchmen!” I explained I Got the costume at Spirit 10 years ago, when the movie was made.
