Detention, Saturday, February 24

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

As the students entered the Danger Shop, they noticed that they were on a rooftop with The Tick standing at the edge of the roof overlooking the cityscape. He held a clipboard in one hand.

Katara
Sokka
Samantha Carter
Melaka Fray
Charles Kawalsky
Ray Kowalski
Alex Krycek
Jaye Tyler
Will Vandom
Turtle Wexler
Layla Williams

When everyone had shown up, he turned around and smiled. "Good morning, detentioned students! I am The Tick and I shall be your detention instructor today! Today I'll be showing you the ins and outs of Wrong. You see this city? It's based on The City, my Home Away From Fandom! The City is known for many things. Good diners. Science that is both mad and beneficial. And the never-ending struggle between good and evil, all dressed up in tights! Since you're here, it's assumed that you may be branching out to the evil side of that struggle, so I'm going to show you first-hand that crime doesn't pay!"

"You'll be undergoing a series of simulations as the villain. When you try to do your dastardly deeds, a random hero of The City will come out to thwart you! Don't take these thwartings personally, though. It's our job. The superhero is the Telemarketer of Justice and villains are sitting at home, not expecting to be bothered, but bothered they are because their home is a robot that's destroying a bank and then a call comes asking if you'd like to order some law! And the villain says no, but after some stuggle he's convinced to do so! The only difference here is that instead of better rates on their phone bill or weekdays AND Sundays for newspaper delivery, they just purchased a stay in prison."

"There are some costumes in a box there if you really want to get into the whole theme, but they're optional and completely school appropriate."

[OOC: Sorry for getting it up a little later than intended. Writer's block followed by icon making = slight delay. I'll be around all day. Playing 17 NPCs. *sighs at self*

Information on the heroes can be found here and a videoclip with some of them is here!

For the record, I know there are people who will be signing in late in the day. I am totally cool with that. I never want to stop playing this detention until my brain explodes, so I'm good to play it out however long it takes. :D]

Activity 1: The Bank Robbery

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick led his villains down to the street by leaping off the roof. "Don't worry, the shop is set to not kill you if you jump! There's a very large trampoline down here!"

After that, he led them across the street from a building labeled as "THE BANK."

"That is a bank. You get to try to rob it. Remember, you're a supervillain, so go in, be flashy about it! If you want, team up and decide who's in charge and who's a henchman! See if you can get out of being thwarted, which you won't, because Justice is like oil when mixed with water: it always comes out on top!"

[OOC: Most of the heroes in The City are completely incompetent. Don't fear a thwarting too much.]

Turtle spent a little more time on the trampolines. She really liked how her cape and her braid jumped and flopped together. She eventually hopped off and looked up at THE BANK. Hm. Rob it. Be flashy about it...

If anything, she knew she could at least be cliche about it. Turtle charged in with little pomp or circumstance and demanded, "Everyone down! This is an unlawful attempt to redistribute the flow of the circulation of currency through the economy! Cooperate, and your stock options may still be safe!"

She suddenly realized she had no weapons. Except her kicking, braid rage, and the power of mighty capitalism. And, hey, that did work on the samurai fishmen...

...

...when the heck did all this become normal to her?

A man dressed like a Cuban dictator walked into the bank. He was also unarmed. "Oh, that's a good job. Everyone's cowering in fear at that one. Oh, by the way, I'm Sarcastro. These are my boots. Notice how I'm shaking in them."

"As you should be!" Turtle Braided Kicking Tortoise declared. "Have you seen these interest rates? That is the true crime here. Now move aside and I'll just take this capital and everyone will have a nice, comfortable day thanks to all the socialist institutions they can go crying to do reimburse them for this trauma."

Ray didn't think being flashy would help him rob the bank. He stomped into the bank, looked around, and said, "This is a robbery! On the ground and no one gets hurt!"

It was what they'd seen on television, after all.

A bulky man in goggles, a tight shirt, and red underwear burst into the bank with a series of backflips. "IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE!" he yelled.

He continued backflipping until he hit the teller counter. He got up after that and looked like his face might explode from hyperness. "WOOOOOO!"

Re: Activity 1: The Bank Robbery

[the-right-ray.livejournal.com]

Ray blinked. "You! Down on the ground!"

Sam spent a while considering how to best rob the bank. Normally, she'd be a fan of going in under the cover of darkness and just circumventing the alarm system, but that didn't seem to fit in with the scenario.

Instead, she folded her mask and put it in her pocket, then went to go stand in line for the teller.

A young man wearing nothing but a loincloth walked over on all fours and took his place in line behind Sam. This was Feral Boy.

He scratched his head with his foot.

Jaye sighs, and walks into the bank. "This is a stickup, gimme all your money," she sighs.

And belatedly thinks to point her finger like a gun.

"This looks like a job for CAPTAIN LEMMING!" came a yell from a roof across the street. His voice boomed well. So did his back when he hit the ground after jumping off the roof and landing on the ground in a heap.

"Spine!" he gasped. "There's evil to fight! Get back in the game!"

It didn't. He stayed there until the ambulance came five minutes later.

Layla did not feel good about this at all. But she also didn't want to get in trouble, so she donned her mask and stormed into the bank like every supervillain she knew. "This is a stick-up! Everybody on the ground!"

Suddenly a woman clad in a red, white, and blue maid outfit bursted into the bank. She held up a shoe and was ready to throw it. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked.

Mel rolled her eyes at the tick. That's not how you rob a bank.

Mel jumped off the roof and then when around the back of the bank and started to work on disabling the security alarm system.

Re: Activity 1: The Bank Robbery

A manhole cover lifted behind Mel and a man in a strange outfit stepped out of it. "Oh, hi. What're you doing?" he asked.

Katara frowned at the scenario and wondered what Captain Liberty would say about using tactics from Superheroing class to rob a bank. She also worried about what happened last time she tried to steal something.

She walked into the bank. "Give me your money or I'll turn you into ice sculptures!"

The Tick kicked the door open and yelled, "GO, SPEAK! GO!"

A large, South American rodent was pushed into the bank on a skateboard. It was wearing a cape. Speak rolled to a stop after several feet.

He - if the creature was a he - didn't move beyond a bizarre twitching. He certainly didn't speak. He just stared. And twitched bizarrely.

Most the the villains that Will had met in the past tended to make over the top dramatic speeches, so she figured she might as well give it a shot. Will marched up the stairs in her evil stompy boots, slammed the twin doors open, and poised dramatically to point at the bank tellers.

"Pathetic humans!" she yelled. "Hand over all your money to me, or I shall be forced to destroy you all my with incredible energy powers! Mwahahahaha!"

Hey, evil laughing actually felt kind of good. Maybe that's why so many evil people did it.

A baby doll flew into the bank, made an arc around Will, and returned to a man standing by the door. "It's okay to play with dolls!" he yelled, catching the doll.

The man was wearing an orangutan suit minus a mask. He had baby dolls strapped to him.

Sokka slammed the doors open and strode into THE BANK.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" he yelled. "You have been Sokkalated! All your money is now mine! Gimme!"

Two men carrying a kiddie pool with a boy wearing water wings charged into the bank and set the pool down. The boy stood up. "Stop. You face Fishboy, Prince of Atlantis."

Krycek pulled on a pair of sunglasses, adjusted his tie, and strode into the bank, raising his voice authoritatively as he flashed his wallet like he still had his badge. "This is the FBI, I'm going to have to ask everyone to step outside of the bank," he said loudly.

Die Fledermaus wandered into the bank with a deposit slip. "Hey, buddy. Have a pen?"

Re: Activity 1: The Bank Robbery

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky walked in. "Folks, listen up," he called to get everyone's attention. "I'm a supervillain and this is a bank robbery. You all know how it goes, so if you don't give me the money I want, I'm destroying the building in the usual melodramatic way with lots of fire and death and explosions. If you'd like to leave, now would be the time. Except the manager. You're opening the vault and getting the money out."

Honesty was the best policy.

A nervous woman walked into the bank. "Excuse me?" she said. "I... I like squirrels."
