"You all did very well on your interviews last week," 24 said, giving them the class a broad smile as they met, once again, in the Danger Shop. They were in a similar waiting room as last week, only now there were several doors leading away. "I have to admit we didn't think most of you had it in you, but you proved us wrong. We're very proud."

In fact, 21 was standing slightly behind 24, wiping away what looked to be a tear and giving them all a big thumb's up. He had to swallow a few times before he could take up his thread of the lecture.

"Now, most of you decided that you wanted to be supervillains and that's just fine. But today, we're going to share some of our duties as henchmen. This way, those of you who prefer to hench will have an idea of what's in store for you, and those of you who wish to be supervillains will have an idea of just why having proper and efficient henchm...people is vital for your plans!"

24 began writing down their duties on the whiteboard. "As members of The Fluttering Horde, 21 and I have performed various duties in service to The Monarch. We are skilled and extremely versatile, and we can act as anything from errand boys to assassins." On the board he listed:

Sending apology letters.
Unleashing herpes-smeared sexbots on traitorous members of The Guild.
Killing the Venture brothers.
Strong arm tactics.
Kidnapping (aka recruitment).
Using exotic animals to assassinate high profile targets.
Hand-to-hand combat against impossible odds. [BROCK SAMSON]
Surveillance and other intelligence gathering.
Housekeeping.
Writing and publishing propaganda

"Today, you're going to learn to do some of these things yourself," 21 continued, still beaming. "Each door will lead to to a task. Go in, perform your duty, and move on, knowing that with each step you take, you'll be that much closer to being a full-fledged hench...person."

Take notes, puzzle over the duties, think your teachers are insane...

Alex couldn't stop wondering about the herpes duty. That...sounded painful and really, really evil.

After the lecture ends, feel free to choose one of the doors. All the rooms are connected, so you can do a full circuit no matter where you begin.

There's a simple desk here, along with a set of butterfly-themed stationary and a pen. In front of the desk is a list of things to apologize for. Choose one and write an appropriate letter. The details are completely up to you:

*Turning the receiver into a giant sea slug
*Crashing the receiver's fancy dress party in costume
*Getting completely drunk and trashing said fancy party
*Assassinating the receiver's pet
*Writing a detailed, tell-all book about the receiver, who is your superior
*A routine kidnapping
*Betraying the receiver

Alex wasn't great at apologizing. Like, he sucked at it so his letter was probably...not good.

I'm sorry I killed your pet. If it hadn't gotten in the way, it probably wouldn't have happened but maybe I need to aim better. Anyway, the pet's probably in a better place, banging other pets like it and having the time of its life.

You can always get another pet, right? I mean, at least I did assassinate you, right? Could have been worse. So yeah, sorry.

And that was the best he could do.

This room has been set up to look like a fancy dress party. The sexbot has already been prepared for you. The target is the host of the party (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/06/theventurebros099.jpg). All you need to do is infiltrate the party and get the sexbot close to the target.

This room is set up to look like a busy street in a major city. Looks like recruitment has fallen off and numbers are dwindling. No time for talks about benefits and pros and cons. There's an easier way to boost the ranks.

Kidnap a pedestrian and bring them back to the Coccoon.

This room was going to be where you fought Brock Samson. Except the holographic version tore apart the holographic henchmen in such a brutal and grisly way, your teachers couldn't bear to put you through that.

So just tiptoe through was appears to be a bloody garage filled with tools and try not to catch Brock's attention, okay?

This room is filthy. Dishes are piled high in the sink, dirty uniforms are stacked in the corners, and trash lies everywhere. It's up to you to pitch in and clean up a bit.

The Monarch hates a dirty horde!

After completing the circuit, you end back in the waiting room again. Feel free to talk about your experiences, complain, or just leave.

They're flirting with the Leslie-bot.

Ha! And you thought the horror would begin AFTER you fell into the voids.
