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.

Leaning back with a few bottles of red wine before her at one of the luxuriant side tables is none other than...a shadowy ninja figure. Still distinctly female, and somehow managing to sip her wine despite the lower half of her face being clearly covered along with her hair and the rest of her head above her eyes, the dark figure watches the room rather than actively engaging it it. The clean glasses at each of the seats near her, however, hit that company may not be turned away, depending on how the table is approached.

[Any place that promised a free bar was a place Bender wanted to be. Politely, he glugs down a bottle of hard spirits before stifling a belch. After all, he couldn't be rude.]

[He's dressed in a traditional tuxedo that he probably stole from somewhere, but he's on the lookout for anyone with money or power. His ol' Bender charm will come in handy this time, as always.]

Roxanne was well dressed--as befit the occasion and the major's inclination--and going over dossiers while the hotel hummed with activity. A pair of chairs were set up, and she was-- less then enthused about the whole thing.

But honestly, it was better then being strapped to one of the death traps -- and who knows, maybe one of the villains would betray something useful to her, to make surviving this mess worth it.

It's a long shot, though.

[Remember Roxanne's perm post here.]

[ Despite the bright lights, there appeared to be a weird patch of darkness with glowing eyes in a corner, where the Monster was a little bit scared and confused, not entirely sure why he was brought here or what he was supposed to do.

Still, he enjoyed the appetizers.

[Someone is here to see the Major.

His skin is stretched. His cheeks flattened. When he looks at himself in a mirror (oh how he hates looking at himself in a mirror) he can't recognize himself. His voice is lower. Crisper. He wears a suit he bought with the money Red funneled into his account and a pair of dark, dark sunglasses. He stands with taller posture.

He extends a cold hand for the Major to shake.

How kind of you to host this party. Dear stranger.

Julian's expression was mostly blank, with a bit of a frown. He ate delicately, eating little and picking what he ate very particularly. Something about the way he sat was rather stiff. He seemed oblivious to most of the more questionable activity going on during the meal.

"Major. While your invitation was flattering, I am trying to work on a project at the moment. It is December after all, one of my busier months."

His tone was polite, but the implication - that he was rather displeased to be there - was obvious.

Boyd pulled up in a chauffeured Rolls Royce Phantom because even though he was meeting some unsavory characters, as the invitation had led him to believe, he was damned if he wasn't going to make an impression. The intended impression of course being one of wealth and power. Getting out he paused to stretch and then carefully walked toward the door. It had been a while since he'd used a new body and he was still adjusting. Tripping now would ruin the effect he had put so much effort into.

Seeing who waited him at the door Boyd frowned. He should have known better. Who else would be insane enough to invite so many of the city's underbelly. For that matter who else would know about Boyd's illegal activities. Stepping forward he smirked at the Major and prepared to play the gracious guest. As much as he hated the little Nazi this was a chance to gather intelligence and he wasn't going to pass it up. "I wouldn't have thought I was on the invitation list after our last meeting."

From the other end of the dining hall and just around the corner of a doorway, Deadshot's scope eye has pinpointed The Major and his small group of cronies, heat-sensing through the door and wall.

Murmuring into his comm device.

"All right, kids. This is the shot. Ghost, you're up. Sandman, wait for Ghost's signal, and then get in there. Catman and I take out the other chumps and cover your 6. Copy?"

[ Calendar Man was being pointedly anti-social, although he moved around the room. He might as well observe, while he was here. He took note of those who were here. Those that seemed comfortable, and those that seemed lost. He'd stare, regardless of the comfort of the target. ]

Well... isn't this interesting. The pug Nazi Deadshot has been hired to take out has invited him to his house. This might turn out to be the easiest two mil he's ever made.

The flunkies are funky, though... the heat sensor in his eye scope isn't picking up much of anything.

Of course, there's no way they can do it NOW, though. Too many unknowns at the moment. Wait, suss out the sitch, make the move when the time is right.

Until then, play the part of the good bad guy.

"Huh. You got a name besides 'Major,' pal?"

After taking a quick look around the room Boyd noticed the shadowy figure at the side table. He might have dismissed her presence, but he took note of the fact she was watching the room, and quite carefully from what he could observe. Something he himself intended to do. Walking up he smiled softly and indicated the seat next to her, not saying a word. He wanted to give her the option of starting the conversation. Even if she didn't, how she did respond would at least tell him something about her and if he had to sit there quietly, well at least he would be able to observe the room without standing out quite so much.

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.

[She's in roughly the same place she was last time this happened, almost two years ago, studying the same bloody paintings in a rather different dress. There's a glass of wine on the nearest end table that's barely been touched, and she looks, frankly, a little bored with the proceedings--although, of course, she's far from it. Faking animation has its place, but not with this set, especially not after the events of last week.]
