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.

Deadshot, for his part, looks completely at ease, despite the gathering of strangers, weirdos and jerks. Casually smoking in the corner - if there's one thing a gathering of bad guys shouldn't heed, it's smoking laws.

The lower half of his mask is rolled up so the cigarette can dangle out of it, as he leans against a door frame, holding a drink but not entirely trusting it not to be laced with something.

Now this was a guy he knew. Sandman comes over, lifting a hand in greeting.

"Hey, if it isn't Deadshot. Been a while since Hallowe'en."

He gives Sandman a nod in return.

"And here we are, havin' holiday dinner at Nazi Claus's house. Go figure."

"Never a dull day in this town, huh."

He sniffs and looks around the room, before saying in a softer gruff voice: "We going to make a move any time soon?

Deadshot nods, responding in an even quieter voice, handing him a tiny earpiece so he can get on the communications.

"After he makes his pitch, whatever it's gonna be. People will be more dispersed, better chance of isolation. Relax for now. Mingle."

Sandman takes it. He doesn't even even move to put it in his ear, just letting his sand get it there.

"Sounds good. So how you holding up?"

"Decent enough," comes the even, apathetic response.

"You?"

"Bit on the slow side, job-wise. Aside from - y'know. Figured I'd poke around this place, see who's giving out work."
