Today we all steal, animals we are

WHO: Bad guys. And some good guys.
WHERE: The Major’s old mansion lair, temporarily back in business.
WHEN: Evening of Tuesday the 6th
WARNINGS: Violence, language, evil
SUMMARY: VillainCon! Back in the public eye, the Major has arranged a summit of wickedness for all the City’s evildoers, along with a few less nefarious unwanted or unwilling guests.
FORMAT: Paragraph to start, whatever you please afterward.

What a whirlwind it had been! Getting himself back to the City, arranging for his troops to slip into the country in their boxes, re-entering his old mansion with all its fond memories, with but a week to renovate and refurbish it back to a state suitable for this grand event.

It would be grand, too. It would have to be. The Major had taken stock of how things had gone since his ‘death,’ and passed his judgement. The old Coalition was gone, and so were its leaders. Native criminals were pathetic and weak. The prospect of a great alliance was out of the question- the Major knew that his peers were too fractious, too diverse, too ambitious and temperamental to ever be welded into a unified force.

No, the goal here was complexity and discord. By bringing as many of his ‘colleagues’ together as possible, he would create a fertile field where might grow contacts, networks, small teams, and at the same time: new enemies, new hatreds, new divisions and rivalries. Above all, he desired new conflict, either between them and the heroes or internal ones inside their little community. This evening would collect fuel for the fires that would burn in the New Year.

How fortunate that no one had wanted to purchase the ‘Nazi House’ since he abandoned it last year! Now, after frenzied labours by his undead minions, the mansion was once again clean and bright and beautifully decorated, as befitting the egos of his guests. Dinner and entertainments for the social parts of the evening had been arranged, every bit as carefully as the discreet meeting rooms and iron-fisted security that would serve the purposes of business. At the center of it all, the Major waited and beamed like the proud host he was.

I'm an experienced medical professional, you see! It would be unbecoming to play favorites with my patients!

But you could be! For a very reasonable fee, even!

Uh, I'm not really who cares about alignments that much. I mean, back home I'm on Team Evil, but to be honest I feel more True Neutral, I guess.

[Ah yes, I recall that business.]

Don't worry about it. I'm not one of those info-broker, Machiavellian types. I'm just a gun for hire.

[A beat, as he tries to get a bead on what kinda damaged this woman is.]

Yeah, Blake gets himself into plenty of fixes. What kinda price are you plannin' to make him pay? Money? Blood? Car wash?

I haven't decided yet. Though I'll try to make it as painless for him as possible. [Maybe.]

Sherlock's eyes are once more locked on her, and without looking at what he's doing, he pulls a small (empty) notebook from his pocket and a pen, and tears out the first page.

"Don't use the network." He jots down a cell phone number - the one he picked up during his first few days in the city and has only used very rarely, and slides it across the table.

I've always wanted to get involved in politics! But being a campaign advisor is enough for me.

So, you find yourself at this gathering because it's one you're accustomed to already?

Sure? That could be a reason. Maybe.

"A referral would be much appreciated. There is only so much one can do by hand."

He relaxes only slightly, having half-expected a more amused reaction to the necessity of a costume.

"Something like that," he answered, before he turned to face her decently. He was wearing a much more interested expression -- smirking, one eyebrow raised in pleasure. He watched her shift her stance and make herself comfortable; something that only helped to intrigue him further.

"Have you been here long?"

Joker did not dodge, but took the hit. It landed squarely against his jaw and he snickered. This one had guts!

"HA! You got moxy, kid! I like that."

"Yeah," she said, voice quavering a bit before she got it steady. She straightened her dress, smoothing her hands over it-- but her eyes were on him. "Just like the old high school cheer; Roxy, Roxy, she's got moxy."

She hated that cheer. Hated that nickname, too.

"Have you made you point, then, or are you finished?" She took a step back to her chair.

How interesting. I must ask what it is about war and battle you find so charming.
pilfered: (planning.)

[personal profile] pilfered 2011-12-15 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly right.

[ and noted. eames' eyes flick over roman's face, sizing him up. ]

I assume you're acquainted with our dear host?
pilfered: (Default)

[personal profile] pilfered 2011-12-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd prefer not to say.

[ such careful neutrality in his voice, with its american accent that still grates on eames' ears. ]
pilfered: (spectators.)

[personal profile] pilfered 2011-12-15 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that the kind of associate you prefer?
pilfered: (attention to details.)

[personal profile] pilfered 2011-12-15 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, any kind. I'm hardly picky.

[ eames is actually very picky, but there's no real reason for him to admit that. ]

[identity profile] boughtitall.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not believe that.

maskurbates: (fleshy: (pb) look at my forehead skin)

[personal profile] maskurbates 2011-12-15 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
In a manner of speaking.

[He takes a sip of his drink.]

I'm not a Nazi, if that's what you're askin'.
