School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

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.]

"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.

Pip grinned. "I'm in the same business. We're always looking for new recruits."

(So... not a giant pirate then?)

"You want to recruit me?"

"Only if you're any good. Are you any good?"

"I'm the best at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice," Deadpool replied seriously. "Snikt snikt."

"Gosh I hope I don't get sued for copyright infringement or anything," He said quietly.

"You know, Wolverine. 'Snikt snikt'!" Deadpool said, holding up his fists. "Small and insanely hairy. Is on every team known to man. Ringing any bells?"

"...Never heard of him. Should I be impressed by the comparison?"

"Never heard of Wolverine. Weird," Deadpool muttered, shaking his head.

"Since you don't know who he is, then no. But I can assure you, I'm very good at what I do. I'd show you, but..." Deadpool said, pouting, "They took my weapons. What kind of school doesn't allow weaponry?!"

"Preaching to the choir, man. Weapon of choice?"

"Sword, but if I'm in a hurry guns work just as well," Deadpool replied. "You?"

(Ah, shop talk. Always fun.)

"Guns, mostly. Knives for close combat. The one eye makes sword fighting really tough. Although my personal undying favorite is explosives."

"Yeah, getting blown up took the shine off using explosives for me. But way to be handicap-able with your killing."
