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.]

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

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

Joxer gaped.

"How do you know my name?!"

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

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

Re: Speaker 4: Xena

"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

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.
