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.

Thomas is trying desperately not to stare in the face of an almost certain death, looking at the ceiling rather hopelessly. Away from Unidentifiable Sludge No. 28.

"You know," he yells over the bubbling. "I am really goddamn tired of being victimized in this place!"

Floyd is right next to him, doing his part to maintain an icy demeanor. He's been dead once here already, after all, so there's not much to that.

The clench of his jaw, though, would seem to reveal that it's the nasty pain of dying by acid that he's not looking forward to.

"Victim or victimizer. You're either one or the other in this life. Get used to it."

Flint says nothing, on account of him being a little busy at the moment.

It was hard enough to gather his thoughts in this state, so keeping himself together was his main goal. He puts all his concentration on reforming himself, which was difficult enough in the water. Grain by grain, he slowly draws himself back together.

Floyd looks around as best he can from this precarious dangling position, that facade of apathy cracking a little bit the closer he gets to the acid.

"If you're gonna do something, do it now!" he calls out to the ether. Perhaps referencing a co-conspirator who has a particular affinity with the ether.

Or anybody who can keep them from being boiled alive here.
