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.]

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

"yeah I get that." Billy said. "Are you more a hitman or assasin than a mercenary though?"

"Well, assassin or hitman would imply that I only kill people. Which I don't. Sometimes I get paid to steal stuff. Or sabotage stuff. I'm very flexible, if you know what I mean."

Billy nodded. "yeah that does make sense. You get all your expenses paid as well or does that come from your own pocket?"

"Depends on the job. If it's something cheap then I'll pay for it. But I do enjoy charging people so I can fly around the country and annoy the stewardesses."
