Talking Is A Free Action - 21/7 - Thursday

There was something written on the board when students arrived for class today.

villainous monologues

"Now, some of you all might have experience with this subject," Deadpool said. "Either giving or receiving. Possibly dirty."

He didn't judge your kinky ways! Much.

"You know how it is, their nefarious plan is mere seconds from completion and they have the plucky hero right where they want him. And they just wanna lord over 'em. It's slightly less expensive than therapy or comic book collecting. Which, as we all know, is only one step down from crack."

He held up a comic book. "Deadpool volume 2, issue 41 is available August 10th!"

Helpful.

"Enough shameless self promotion! Partner off," he demanded. "One of you will be the babbling villain and the other the helpless hero. And of you really want to get into character, try shouting a lot. It's the super cool thing to do! Just ask Doctor Doom. Though, with him, it could be an unfortunate speech impediment..."

Wesley thought about the villains he'd heard monologue in the past.

"Oh!" He leaned forward conspiratorily. "Ah, is it generally custom for a villain to threaten one's kneecaps?"

Hank nodded affirmatively. "Sometimes, sometimes. That's mostly for your mafioso-themed villains, but it's a pretty standard threat. It's a pretty bad sign, too -- a villain that threatens your kneecaps probably isn't going to lock you up in a slow-moving death trap and leave the room."

"So I learned," Wesley said dryly. "It tends to be rather fast-moving after the, ah, threatening of bodily harm."

Unfortunately.

Hank nodded. "Unless they're just threatening and leaving, and planning to come back later to do the actual harm. Amateur stuff, but some villains do that."

...Huh.

"I see," Wesley said slowly. "You've encountered a lot of villains in your day, then?"

Re: Pair Up

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Hank nodded vigorously. "Oh, yeah. HUNDREDS of them. Maybe even DOZENS!!!"

...That was just bad, bad math.

"Er," said Wesly flatly. "Right. Well, then!"

He wanted an out so, so badly.
