It appeared that the spectacle had overwhelmed the crimefighting clown from the Bay Area. Actually it was because she was really, really high. Matilda knew that if she was selected that she would spend the next month under constant scrutiny. So she managed to smoke a blunt in the bathroom as one last hurrah. Still, when the name "The Merry Prankster" was displayed, the shock manged to penetrate he haze she was in. Matilda had tried out mainly for the kicks and a chance for a bit of fame. The Merry Prankster wasn't the most experienced of heroines nor were her powers very flashy. Not to mention she had heard rumbling that some of the government bigwigs weren't too thrilled some happy-go-lucky hippie chick had gotten as far as she had. Now their underwear would really be in knots. In spite of being stunned and stoned, Matilda managed to flash a peace sign and a smile at the cameras.<br/><br/>"Tune in. Turn on. Kick ass."<br/><br/>As she made her way into the massive mansion, Matilda scoped some of the other contestants. She found it odd that so many didn't have costumes. Wasn't that half the fun of this gig? Not exactly particular about her room, Matilda tossed her stuff into the nearest place. Since the munchies had started kicking in, she headed out to the kitchen to grab some grub.
