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.]

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.'

Xena sighed. "And his pants."

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 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer gaped.

"How do you know my name?!"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

"You've been following me around for months, I'd think I'd remember it by now."

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Following you around?" Joxer stared. "Why would I do that?"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

"," Xena muttered, before answering. "You either want to be my sidekick or you want to steal my sidekick."

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer laughed. "I have sidekicks, I'm not a sidekick. You must be thinking of someone else!"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm thinking of you. Unless there's another 'Joxer the Mighty' running around." Xena might have shuddered a little at the thought.

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer scratched his head. "I'd have to beat him up for stealing my schtick," he said. "I'm the only Joxer the Mighty. I worked long and hard to be as heroic as I am, darn it!"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

"And very heroic that is," Xena nodded. "I know Argo is thankful for it."

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer was really confused. "Well I guess that's good of me..." he said.

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

Xena didn't enjoy the perplexed look on Joxer's face. At all. Really. "Prepared to give your life up for her, you were, not many would do that."

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Well, I do my best to be the best," Joxer said. "Especially saving innocents."

He was sooooo confused.

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[hasmanyskills.livejournal.com]

Oh, she was going to get in so much trouble if Gabrielle found out she'd been messing with him like this. "That you do, that you do."

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer nodded. "Yeah. I thought so."

He now felt strangely accomplished.
