So like- presumably they aren't getting streaming services, cable or signal to watch youtube. So there would probably be a major push back to traditional media? I don't remember which video it was mentioned in but I think @actuallyrea said there was still electricity, if limited?

And I love collecting my favorite shows and movies, and I love sharing them with people! And uh- well a lot of them are mysteries or mystery adjacent. Psych, NCIS, Warehouse 13, Detective Conan, all the Scooby Doo cartoons, Clue, etc. I have multiple copies of some of them.

So limited electricity, plus physical media equals- community viewings? And hey, I'm an event planner, I did theater, that's probably a thing too? So maybe Maddy functionally works for the city to handle entertainment?

The other thing you should know about me is I work in childcare. This became relevant when I started wondering why Maddy would want to be a Prism fighter at all? Then I thought, what if she didn't? With people having to take up very different jobs that don't allow them to work at home, now everyone needs a babysitter or daycare. And it might soothe some minds to have a Prism fighter nearby in case anything goes wrong. Keep the kids safe.

So the rough idea I had was Apollo and his kids swing by so see if anyone already working at the Daycare/School would take up the job, and they found a workaholic nursery employee with two kids in her arms, a third following her demanding snacks while wrestling her ID out of a fourth kid's mouth. And it's the same lady who plays a double feature each night, detective shows, always detective shows.

The detective theme is obvious where it came from but I found myself giving Maddy a Lot of her accent color. I didn't actually plan, she was originally only brown with the smallest bit of blue on her belt. But realized if her whole job was guarding the youths that it almost less sense that she had one desaturated color? So I made the inner lining of her capplet blue with a gradient on the skirt.

I also had wanted to make her hair look like a deerstalker Sherlock Holmes looking hat. But at some point it change so I don't think you can tell. I have short hair sketches that make it more obvious but like- Long hair is more fun.

For her civilian uniform, I gave her a blue shirt instead of brown because I had the clear mental image of Zoey looking at the design order and going "Ew, brown?" and only adding it to the skirt lining. Not that it matters, she usually shows up in whatever she wore for her day job, and white clothes and children usually ends poorly.

I forgot to include his name, but her Prism is called Que. As in the Question.

Bonus: without Coat
