    She's semi-retired and we RUINED her life.

    Sure she would have ruined it on her own, with how it was going, but we just accelerated it.

    Well to be fair.

    She did break the Hideout Code that all villains use.

    More specifically Rule 12 "No Hideouts Locations shall be revealed for one Year"

    She put it on a map. She violated the Code and got ruined...as any proper villain should enforce the Hideout code and its consequences for no following them.

    I mean she got off easy compared to some of the more insane ways people enforced it.

    Oh god.:lol::rofl::lol::rofl:

    So she decided to flex on the poor idiot that decided to muscle onto HER territory. Only for us to off her political career by highlighting her affairs.
    And now, she smashed into the concrete bunker in rage at our actions...

    yeah, we really walked blindly into this.

    "You did this to me!!!!"

    "Did what?"

    Villian Conference '06
  • Threadmarks
    • Villian Conference '06

    Villain Conferences were the best and worse thing about the job, it was one half get-together, one half tech swap and another part social gathering to see how things could be made more and more efficient.

    Of course getting in was a problem.

    "I'm sorry Professor, but your not on the list of B Rank Villains, I'm gonna have to ask you to try one of the other entrances." A aide working the kiosk said as you groaned.

    "This is what I get for thinking twenty years will get me a good standing." You complained. "Come on Sunshine lets see if we have luck with the C Rank Entrances…I'm gonna get rumors that I'm weird now."

    Sunshine shrugged. "How so?"

    "C-Ranks have always been weird…they always think they're going to be the next big Villain and have the silliest gimmicks." You said.

    "They can't all be bad…besides the menu is good. I'm gonna grab one." Sunshine said.

    Zheng smiled "They'll let us in the C Rank Entrance."

    Damnit all…you'd have hoped that you'd avoid them for as long as possible.

    Finally they accepted you into the C-Rank Villain Pass entrance.

    At least you have access to the better food trucks at least.

    "SUNSHINE Stop trying to get into the A Rank orderves, I know they are good, but you'll have to manage with the food of lesser villains." You chastised.

    "But its Caviar, they are serving Caviar." She said holding the menu.

    "I know, but we have to earn our way into it." You said. "I miss working with Blanc sometimes."

    "How so?" Sunshine said as Zheng walked off to get food.

    "He always let me and the rest of his Council walk in the A-Rank entrance." You said. "Even spent extra money on the Family Passes."

    "Ohh, sounds pricy…welcome to how the other half lives Darwin," Sunshine said. "It's not all cracked up, but it's worth it."

    "At least I can set my own hours and have good friends." You mused and took some of what she said to heart.

    Oh you are going to finally start to meander over to the Raman cart, they might still have meat left over if your quick enough.

    "As I Live and Breath, THE PROFESSOR himself wandering among the masses of Villainy." A faux-Southern accent shouted from across the hall as a large man with a gaudy tuxedo and a small entourage of similarly well-dressed men and women with food and little knick nacks.

    "To what do we owe this grand anointed pleasure." He finished.

    "Shut up King, I am here for the free food and the better company you are not a part of." You said sneering at him. "Don't you have a cake to ruin and fill with laxatives?"

    Wedding King, the gaudy self-important wedding planner who somehow was one of the nation's most highly rated C Ranked villains. Most of the people that worked for him were married by him or at least got their start, but he took it to the point where it was interesting, but also unseemly.

    Didn't matter how happy you helped make them King? They're still employees and have to be treated as such.

    He treated them like projects… which was worse in many villains' opinions.

    "Oh and here I think this man, Mr "I'm too professional for your lot," is still acting better than us despite holding a torch for a wife who left him, and he only married her because he felt bad for her." He said.

    "It was an arrangement that we couldn't maintain, nothing more then that." You said, feeling anger slowly bubble to the surface between your cool facade.

    "Still all business even when talking about something like your ex-wife." He said. "Can't even admit it on a personal level."

    Hold it together: D100 => 73+40=113 (Sucess)

    "King, if you kindly don't shut up about my personal life, I will make sure you lack the parts to enjoy yours…and we both know, even with your guards you are a complete wimp." You said before walking to the raman stand as Wedding King slumped a bit and everyone else, sans Sunshine started laughing at him.

    --------------------------------

    (Sunshine POV)

    "What was that about?" You said as the mockery winded down and looked at Wedding King with a small pitiful look.

    "I'm a wimp, I'm clever, not strong." He said, his accent gone and replaced by a french one. "If you'd like to have your romantic future read I'll need a minute."

    You shrugged before motioning to your boss. "Sounds fun, but what was that about?"

    "Oh his wife left him because of all the Villainy related crap finally getting to her, and well you know what they say about Supervillain marriages." He said. "They're either granite or sand."

    You knew the feeling, that was why you wanted to hold off for as long as possible.

    Well, that and one other reason…

    You smiled. "Well I'd like to see if what I've read about your whole relationship thing is real…the guys online say you're really good at it."

    He smiled. "Well, I have a gift for it, lets read your future, Miss "Freebird." You almost smiled.

    "Is it really that obvious I sleep around?" You said.

    "You make it too obvious at times." He said.

    Sunshine's Future Romance (Wedding King Roll)
    Rolled: d100 + 23 => 115 +15(Machmaker)=130

    He widened his eyes. "You've got a hell of a love story ahead of you. Even if it won't last long."

    "How so?" You said feeling curious.

    "Let's just say…he's the right person to help you with all your problems when it comes to commitment and is understanding to your faults and strengths. The man you love,is, exactly who you always wanted to love. Yet as all things it will be brief, but real." He said before sitting on a chair.

    "You okay?" You asked.

    "I honestly thought your sort of romance only existed in books, but life surprises me even now." He said. "Be good to yourself, and to him."

    Well that was something?

    -------------------------------

    (Professor POV)

    "So its a good idea?" You asked.

    "I mean come on, everyone likes a trail blazer for Eco-Tech." A Green Tech villain said.

    "I can see the appeal, the problem is viability." You said.

    "You can get it in bulk." He said.

    You shrugged and finished the last of your meal, "I must depart."

    "At least give us your hideout address!" He said.

    Sunshine looked on cloud nine, she must have gotten the best news from that wiseass matchmaker.

    "How was your fortune cookie?" You said.

    "I'm gonna be good and wait properly, it'll happen, I've got so much to look forward to." She said. "You?"

    You held a small blueprint up your sleeve. "Stole some Eco Tech, don't let them know, and don't look too surprised."

    She smiled. "That normal?"

    "Expected if you're not paranoid or in a higher rank." You said. "Let's get Zheng and go, he's got a load of nicknacks for his family.

    Reward: C Rank Villain Met: Wedding King: A Supervillain gentleman thief and organizer who commits crime based on weddings…also a wedding planner in his day job.

    Stole Research: Low Grade Eco-Genorator

    Sunshine learns a bit about her future Soul mate…because sometimes people can just tell your gonna have a hell of a love story in the future.

    AN: Not Much, but its a conference.
