*She smiles an evil wide smile*
"I have arranged a demonstration today, we will show the class how not to infiltrate an organization. Before I do the big reveal, anyone want to fess up and be let go with a slap on the wrist."
*No one says a word*
Of course I don't say anything. I'm prepared to kill someone for attacking Cass, though.
*She smiles*
"The first rule in leadership is not to bluff, she points to a man and a woman."
*Trying to radio every night to let GCPD in on where we are, what we are doing, really? I would have thought better of law enforcement.*
*she pulls out a large pistol and fires it and puts his brainpan across the room.*
*The woman is shaking*
"Her, put her in the male lockup area dressed as she is."
*screams of noooo, echo as two guards grab her by the arms and drag her off to her new home*
"The second rule of leadership is once you have established you don't bluff, you are free in the future to bluff or not."
I am leering derisively at her, the look on my face plainly saying that I feel she's going to get what she deserves and enjoy it... copper pig.
*Baroness smiles*
"You can't make an omelet without cracking some eggs, after that little object lesson, your training here will be mostly self taught. I am here to offer guidance, answer questions, and pose challenges to you. The first question, is after that demonstration, am I more attractive or less attractive to you, discuss."
I don't speak for myself in that regard; what I mean is, I'm spoken for.
*Most of the guys say yes, some say no differences, the girls, it's either yes, or if I was into girls yes, or the same, Cass however*
"While you are physically attractive, the killing of a human being, does not enhance your beauty, in fact it does the exact opposite, it shows the beauty to be a shell, and as you age, and wither, the beauty on the outside will match your inner evil. It is quite tragic how that happens."
*Mouths drop open, Baroness looks pissed at first, looks at the gun and then back to her and stands up and walks right up to Cass, Cass stands up to meet her*
*Baroness*
"So you talk a good game, can your body back it up?*
*Cass*
"My body is in perfect shape, is yours?*
((GE roll 24, Willpower for Baroness: 29 fail, oh it's on like Donkey Kong))
haha. Catfi... Oh, wait, that's my woman. I rise to the occasion. "I would have to agree with her. When you kill a person, you sacrifice a part of yourself in so doing, and causing enough death will pull the humanity from anyone. It isn't to say that you can't find someone who will find you more attractive; indeed, some men *like* having sex with goats."
Yeah, I went there.
*Cass pushes you back into your chair*
"I got this."
*They tussle, and I mean tussle, trading blows back and forth, Cass gets hurt early, but recovers, and the Baroness is using a defensive style, and Cass Mitsu Frenzy, the forth round, something goes wrong with the Baroness's muscle blocking and it completely fails, and Cass whoops the crap out of her that round, Baroness is alive, but you heard three solid cracks and a lot of pops and cracks*
"Enjoy the body cast b*tch."
I do find it amusing, and check Cass to see how bad she's doing. If she's ok, I tell her she can come sit in my lap. O=)
She is about six down and she sits in your lap the rest are just stunned speechless.
alakaBump!
I guess we'll wait, and I'll whisper sweet nothings in her ear while we do about how attractive she is.
((Going to do an all or nothing GE roll, to see the reaction of the class after the fact 18))
*They are hostile, but not riled up enough to do anything, the medic comes in with a stretcher and takes The Baroness to her full body cast, you two are of course jailed while they figure out what to do with you. If you want you can choose to fight the dozen or so guards and verse, or let it ride through, with a 18 GE roll it's your decision on the matter*
It depends. If they try to seperate Cass and me they've got a fight coming (and I'm probably on my way sooner than I'd like)
((That calls for a separate GE roll then: 19))
*They think about separating you two, and at the last moment think better of it, and confine you to quarters to see what course of action they take.*
*After a week (you can do whatever you want in your room during that week, meals are brought to you), you are called into the board of trustees, it was discussed, that the charge assaulting a superior officer might be warranted, but the testimony of the class said she came up to you and started the provocation, so a month of kitchen duty both of you, and wait for the next class, dismissed*
*Kitchen duty sucks, but you do get skills in cooking 1@5 if you didn't already have it, if you did +3 to it if it is below 2@, feel free to put in anything you want to work on during that 5 weeks or so*
Martial arts particularly; attribute training for strength, will power, stamina, flexibility, through yoga (and tantra ;) )

*I will give you five weeks credit for those*
*Cass does that thing with her tail, and that's all the rest of us need to know*
*Ok same classroom, new classmates, new teacher, Dressed in White and Grey Ninja Garb, he walks in and stares at you (meaning the class) till lunch*
I like this guy.
*Lunch is brought in, he keeps staring and the recruits are freaked, watching him as they are eating, not a word is said at all*
*He waits for all you to finish and produces a vial and puts it on the floor by the front of the classroom, still not saying a word*
I'm hoping for some sort of word here. Is my seat near where he has placed the vial down? My immediate thought is that lunch was poisoned, but I'd rather not jump to conclusions.
*He sits there staring, some of the people aren't looking to hot and begin to get up and walk toward the vial, it's more of a large beaker, probably 10 doses*
I'm going to try to get to it first; I don't know who was poisoned, whether it was all of us or not, or what; but I do know for a fact that people want it, and if I have it, that means power.
((GE Roll 19, there are about 5 to 6 of you in a scrum for the vial))
*You are fighting, kicking scratching, and then the whole room starts brawling, the Ninja just sits there, after 10 minutes, everyone is knocked out or hurt, and the ninja, walks over takes the vial and puts it back in his pack, sits till class is over and walks out.*
ok... so... now what?
*Slight indigestion, probably caster oil in something, dinner seems fine, you come in the next day and he introduces himself*
"Hello class, I am Stormshadow, yesterday was both interesting, amusing and informative all at the same time, can anyone tell me the lesson with all that?"
"Don't trust Stormshadow."
*He looks at you*
"Trust, did I say anything, did I lead you to believe anything? No I think your imaginations ran away with you. It was quite fun having you fight over a beaker full of Soda, it was quite refreshing with my dinner. The lesson was never assume. You took a course of action with very little information, when all anyone in the room had to do was ask what was going on."
"Anyway, I'm not really the teaching type, so read and do the exercises in Chapter 1 of your Officer's Training textbook, while I nap, and quiz you on it in an hour."
*True to form, he lays his head down and goes to sleep*
"My assumption was that others wanted the vial you had set down; therefore, to have it would mean power. It's interesting that for someone whose first lesson is never assume, you do so so readily."
*He remarks*
"An assumption is done with little to no data, or no way of knowing if it was right. I observed you all for 4 hours, your mannerisms and demeanor gave me insight to who you all were as people. I had a hypothesis, which is an informed assumption, and in order to test the hypothesis, to make it a theory, I put you all through an experiment. My theory is that paranoia after eating, when someone produces a vial of liquid, will induce people to fight for the unknown liquid, over unknown variables."
*he pauses*
"At any rate, read your chapter, and I will assume you will pass the quiz."
I feel the teacher doesn't really know what he's talking about; such was the case for most of my schooling career, though, and reading comprehension comes easy to me.
*Your feel on the teacher is right and wrong, it's more of a case of not wanting to be here, but he did cause all of you to brawl without saying a word, that takes a tremendous about of persuasive skill.*
*You pass the quiz fine, as does most of the class, it's a rather boring day, as he is not a teacher, he would be more at home mercing people in absolute silence, but he isn't here for his own ego, so the next six weeks go uneventfully, you do get a 1@10 Leadership P0@1 at the end of the course, so there is that. You are all taken to the control room of the facility, and you do see a map of the facility on a fire escape plan posted on the wall.*
*A figure clad in Blue, with a red viper on his chest, with a helmet with a silver face shield address you with a snake lisp*
"Greetings graduates, you are about to embark to a rewarding career in Viper. I am Viper Commander, leader of Viper."
*a familiar person barges in, a certain doctor*
"Serpentor would have to take um bridge with that."
I'm paying attention, taking in all the information and especially the exit route in my head; no doubt in my mind it's booby trapped, though, so I'm trying to commit the entire map to memory without seeming suspicious and while paying attention to the goings on.
*Viper Commander*
"Well if it isn't a visit from the good Doctor."
*Mindbender*
"I wanted to see my new officers myself before they were assigned."
*Viper Commander*
"Well here they are, fresh from basic, and leadership training."
*Mindbender*
"This plan of yours to train the of like mind better work."
*Viper Commander*
"Well, you must admit, it's effective."
*You commit the map to memory, and you are handed your orders in a dossier along with Cass*
*She smiles*
"Looks like I outrank you."
*shrugs* "Doesn't bother me. I'm progressive." I check my dossier.
*Your says run the research facility on Gotham, seduce and manipulate Cass, hers say the same thing about you.*
*Cass grins*
"Well at least they are nothing but predictable"
*you are issued the uniforms you are wearing, MP5 Prototypes with 5 magazines each, knife, and suicide pills, and are taken to your facility, you are free to stay or leave at this point, you passed their "tests", it's up to you want to do.*
Awesome. I'm going to leave, saying, "I'm taking my woman out on a date." Hmm, how best to do this... we're going to go to a retail store and ask for a couple bags. Then to a clothing store and stealthily steal some street clothes for us both. Then to a YMCA, or some such place, sneak in and use their showers and change our clothes into something not provided by Viper. Then we're going to see Bruce.
*The good Doctor nods, and lets you get ready, as your getting ready to leave, you see him flanked with 4 guards with MP5's, leveled at you, he has some sort of pistol*
"Something doesn't click right with you two, so I think you need to go."
*23 GE roll*
"I don't know what you're talking about. We were already leaving." I'm talking to him irritatedly.
