The city is under siege by a gang dubbed "The Bouffant Bandits"! Getting their name and much public attention from their ridiculous and oversized bouffant wigs and ridiculous fluffy dresses, the Bandits are a scourge to the banks and police force of our fair city. It’s bad enough that they’ve gotten away with so much money, but the police force is under increasing scrutiny for not being able to identify or catch people wearing such ostentatious costumes.
We begin our story today where the Bandits have staged a daring daytime bank robbery and this time, they have taken hostages! The bank is quickly surrounded and they’ve made contact with the thieves inside confirming the hostages are still alive, for now. The police negotiator is brought in and works out a deal where he can enter the bank to check on the hostages and the helicopters will back off. They really just want the police copters down and rather enjoy the news crew breathlessly reporting on their antics.
When the negotiator enters the bank, he walks through the lobby but only just hears movement behind him before he’s struck and knocked down. A woman in a bobbling pink bouffant rolls out from behind a desk and sprays him in the face with a liquid. Almost immediately, his vision goes wavy, colors start to blur and trail, and he has trouble holding himself up. He can just barely look up to see the woman in the pink bouffant high-five one in a bright green wig before he passes out.
The negotiator jerks awake. He tries to move but his arms and legs seem to be bound to a chair. He shouts, but his voice is muffled, something is stuffed in his mouth. Trying to force it out with his tongue, his lips tug and strain like the object is vacuum sealed to his lips. A sing-song voice welcomes him back awake. He was such a light weight that she got bored and had to start painting. Pink holds up a small mirror and he can see his face is covered in white paint with huge purple eye shadow, rouged cheeks, and enormous red plastic lips covering his mouth. He struggles against the chair and lets out a muffled curse.
Green walks back into his view and menacingly struts right in front of him, jamming a finger hard into his sternum. She explains that he was the negotiator on the job that got their sister thrown in jail. She made a deal to delay and the cops were supposed to deliver food, but instead they tossed a flashbang into the room and dragged her off to jail!
Green snaps her fingers and Pink reaches into a backpack and pulls out a fluffy purple orb just smaller than a tennis ball. She sprays it with something out of chemical bottle and the ball suddenly starts undulating and poofing out, bigger and bigger, until it’s a bouffant larger than a bean bag chair. So that’s how they were hiding their disguises and couldn’t be identified! Everything would fit in their pockets and then they just slip out somewhere hidden, expand their costumes, and then change. Green takes the bouffant from her partner and walks towards the bound negotiator. He jerks back, almost toppling the chair, and she sets the wig down. Reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small device, she twirls a finger over a button. Either he plays along or the hostages go boom, his choice! The negotiator slumps forward and allows them to attach the bobbling hairdo to him while the pair giggle.
