School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick took the stage once the audience was nice and full and smiled. "Crime is a broken drive-up ATM machine. It doesn't pay. Trust me, as a former full-time and current freelance Bank Teller of Justice I know this well. Sure, the ATM is faster when you get it to work, and it's the easier way to make money, but it'll break down, leaving you high and dry. And broke. It's best to park the car, go inside, do things right, and cross that Vestibule of Right because otherwise you're going to end up with nothing in time!"

"Trust me, I've been a superhero long enough, I know what I'm talking about!"

"Today's speakers are criminals who've learned how bad the life can be, who've learned that it's not worth the chance of saving a little bit of time only to end up unable to retrieve your Money from the Bank of Law."

[OOC: Standard assembly stuff. Threads for speakers are marked, please don't comment in those threads until the speaker has, speakers should also ping into the Q&A thread.]

"All of our speakers are done now. If you have any questions for them, please step up and ask!"

[OOC: Please don't ask a question of a speaker until they have pinged into this thread. Thank you.]

"I am sure that now you students are confused, befuddled, and not entirely yet clear on the concept despite the great speeches, orations, and lectures from the various masterminds who are here in front of you on the stage, talking and speaking. So I will answer your questions, comments, and concerns now. Not later, but right now as you ask them of me!"

Well, he would if you could get him to shut up.

Xena had a far-off, distant stare and a case of the fidgets as she waited for any students to ask her questions.

"I'm sorry, could you expand on the 'hot sex with leather-clad war gods' point?" Z asked politely, her pencil hovering over her notebook. Maybe evil wasn't as bad as all that after all...

"Well, technically, it's just the one god, Ares, God of War," Xena replied. "Ever since I turned back towards the light, he's been trying to tempt me back to his side, always waiting for the moment when I'd rejoin him, his attempts to seduce me back into the darkness have been many and varied, but always involving those leather pants...but it would be wrong for me to fall for him. His tricks. Again."

"And his pants," Z said, nodding as if she totally believed Xena. In her notebook, she scribbled down 'Find out if good offers similar perks.'

Joxer raised a hand.

"Do you have any advice for an aspiring person trying to turn from a path of evil warlording to being a hero?"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

"Joxer?" Xena stared. "What are you...? I left you with Gabrielle!"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

"How'd you get into the Warlording game?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

Looking only slightly the worse for wear, Brain addressed the students. "Yes, well, after my demonstration of why attempting to take over the world - or the school - is a bad idea, I'm certain you'll have many questions."

"I have a question, Brain."

"Pinky. you are a question, now be quiet."

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

Willow raised her hand. "How does somebody get a neat name like yours?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[pinky-n-brain.livejournal.com]

"My name is not neat. It is simply a representation of who I am. I am The Brain." He folded his paws together and bowed. "As for how I came by it, the answer is simple. I selected it myself."

"If anyone has any questions, I'll be ha...contractually obligated to answer them." Lilah leaned against the podium, legs crossed at the ankles.

"Softball question first," Parker said, studying Lilah uneasily. "Great suit. Where did you get it?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

Lilah nodded in approval of the question. "Hand-tailored by a thousand year old Italian gnome."

"Something tells me that speech wasn't quite what the administration had in mind."

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[lilah-esq.livejournal.com]

"And your point would be what?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

King Gorilla was a somewhat angry hulk on the stage.

Go ahead, ask him a question.

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Questions? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

"Do you work alone or with a company? And if alone, would you be interested in working with someone?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I work alone. Freelance, because sometimes I don't want to take the job. Mostly I turn down the jobs when they occur while Vanessa Saturn is on. She's so spunky and adorable," Deadpool replied. "Working with others usually ends with getting stabbed in the back. And I usually prefer my back to be knife-free."

"Why do you ask?" Deadpool asked, giving Pip a once over.

Cameron raised a hand. "So why not just work fulltime for the goverment if they seem to have a need for your... services?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Mostly because they have this annoying tendency to get all moral on me after the job is done," Deadpool scoffed. "Plus, they don't pay near as well as the private sector."

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"What initially attracted you to the mercenary profession?"

Re: Speaker Q&A [11/10]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Well, it was much better than being a minion for various super villains," Deadpool responded. "Plus, the money was good."
