[Bakiri Retsu]

Much like she was used to Retsu walked right into a commotion. She shouldn’t have been surprised. Villains rarely played nice with each other, not with an amount like this all in one place. Too many egos. As the old adage went 'the town wasn’t big enough for both of them' and this was no town nor were there but two. Wait did he say tickets?

"Do ah look lakh an idiot?" Retsu scoffed while keeping her hand close to a deterrent in case Nickelodeon replied unpredictably to her response. With the long black coat she was wearing trailing behind her Retsu stepped to the side, sticking close to the wall and making sure she had a straight route to the exit and an eye on all other ways in and out. So too did she refrain from leaning against said wall, preferring to be ready to act immediately.

Besides. If anyone knew that a wall was just another door waiting to happen it was her. Retsu wouldn’t risk being caught off guard like that.

Scanning the room Retsu offered a brief nod to Mummy, Yingshe and Djinn, the only three people of importance that she knew while keeping her guard up. She wondered where that masked asshole was going with this. Retsu was fairly sure she’d been present for most of what he was talking about and maybe even caused some of it. She wasn’t going to bumble into the conversation and volunteer that info for no reason though. No, Retsu was more than happy to let Djinn take the spotlight. She’d wait for her chance. With this many villains gathered Retsu doubted it would take long before an opportunity to act showed itself.

[attr="class","TsukikoTemplaterare4"]TO ERADICATE MY PAST

[attr="class","TsukikoTemplaterare5"]

Satsu's eyes flickered over the man in a fancy suit; she was certain if anyone had called them here, it likely would have been the best dressed of the bunch but there he was, denying his inclusion. Instead, no, some Friday the 13th looking motherfucker popped up and insulted each of them to their faces. Punks; If her eyes could glow with anger, they certainly would have from behind that opaque black mask. If anything showed her rage it was the sudden disintigration of her cigarette in a single breath; of which no ashes were left behind. Inside her head thoughts of what the man would look when split in two blinked before focus was regained.
[break][break]
There was one thing that this man said that piqued her interest, however. An opportunity for all of them to talk openly. He was right, the heroes were off
gallavanting around; in fact she could have used this opportunity to collect a few victims but instead, chose to be here. In fact, her underlings nearly begged her to show up to trade what they knew, for a bit more information. Originally thinking it would be about ways to avoid the heroes, but no, they chose to talk about him. The Elementalist. He was troublesome, to say the least; but very few of his actions had affected herself, or her livelihood. No, instead, they simply affected those she cared for; her own family. Thankfully, it seemed it was all over.
[break][break]
Or so she thought. With it being brought up once more, she may as well glean what the others knew of the incident; after all, she had only recently rejoined the world of those who can change it. Glancing back over to Date, she narrowed her eyes; That was an acknowledgement she didn't exactly want but there was nothing she could do about it now. Interrogation would not go well, especially with the public knowledge that Orion made hero gear, and that he never sold to evil. "Took it from a dead man. It is... useful." A lie of omission. There were many crucial details that she left out; like that it belonged to the creator
himself, or that she was literally his maid at the time. Information best left unshared.
[break][break]
Returning to the topic at hand, the fancy man in a suit began speaking again. Most of what he said confirmed what Satsu was aware of. As he spoke, she would follow his gaze to the others around; That man earlier... why would he gaze at him once more? He seemed to be interacting with the other expected members of Legion... perhaps he was one of us as well? Couldn't be; he looks too friendly. Disregarding the man, she returned her focus to Fancypants McGee. Once he was done however, she figured she might as well join the conversation.
[break][break]
"So the tower was a one-shot blunder and the good people of the city are distracted." She'd pull out a new cigarette, unlit, before palming it into the hot ashes she held in her hand; revealing at last where the last cigarette had gone. "It's made life easier for me, that's for certain." Her lips curled into a sickening smirk. "Certainly made obtaining my new position quite simple." Moving the cigarette to her lips, her smile moved back to one of disdain. "But it did
put a delay on my income." Her tone shifted to annoyed as she moved her eyes back to Elias, and then back to the hockey mask man.
[break][break]
"So, The Mighty Duck; what kind of information is your boss even looking for?" Based on where her eyes were looking, she was clearly referencing the Coaltender. It was an off the cuff reference to how the man appeared to be taking a stance of altruism in a villainous world, while being a member of a heroic hockey team. She didn't expect anyone to get the reference; it was an older cartoon that she only knew about from one of her ex's being a fan. "Or is he perhaps trying to get enough people to storm that tower to scavenge it for tech before it's inevitable destruction?"

[Arsenal]

She noted the pink eyes on Rem, but was completely dumbfounded when her arm turned from a sword back into an arm. How odd. She hadn't been using her quirk for that long and she definitely hadn't switched it off herself. Not consciously at least. ''That's what we're doing, right? Just a friendly talk!'' She smiled at Rem, but then turned her attention back to her arm and shook it gently, as if it was a broken remote and she was trying to fix it. When Elias started speaking up Arsenal looked at him, before turning back to Olivia.

''Senpai, I'm gonna go listen to that guy, he sounds really smart.''

Still, it was weird that her quirk switched off. Could it be that she had been overdoing it lately? Staying up too late to complete her homework or assassinate targets, maybe this was her quirk subconsciously telling her to get more sleep. ''I wasn't going to kill you.'' She leaned in and whispered to Rem, feeling a little bad that she had threatened him even if she thought it was necessary.

Looking around for some snacks she finally joined back up with the rest of the party holding a bowl of chips. Oh! They were talking about Dream World! She was there, she had the greatest nap of her life. Walking back to Olivia she handed her the bowl. ''Snacks? They're not poisoned or I'd probably be dead.'' She said with a carefree smile.

[yangcong]

A bundle of footsteps could be heard, not one or two, but ten of them all were walking in unison. Whatever meeting this was.... Dr Yangcong was already a step ahead of the game. Walking with his lab coat on, his hands in his pocket, and his nine other npc scientist that came walking behind him. Two of them carrying a large size crate, while the other seven was pushing a transparent vat that was on wheels right behind him. The massive size vat contained not a liquid, but a bio humanoid person inside of it. After months of working on it, this plant creature inside was 7'0ft, 200lbs and in a deep sleep. 

While Yangcong made his way to the center of the meeting, he spoke up to everyone as his left hand firmly placed his glasses in the center of his face. 

"I don't know what this meeting is about. But I would like to introduce to you all. Alcanium X."

The two scientist behind him, setting the crate down and opening it, showing a stack of bomb looking vials that has green toxic liquid inside of it with the symbols 'AX' on the vials engraved. One of those scientist lifting up one of the vials for all to see.

Yangcong continued to speak as the scientist was presenting the vial.

"This chemical weapon can burn through concrete, metal, and flesh. If used correctly, one could even force the heroes to surrender if hostages are taken. Now behind me in that vat you see before you. Is the first generation of the 'AX' project Alpha. He is currently inactive right now but given a few weeks. I can mass produce them into aiding us in whatever needs to get done. So what's the plan and who is running this meeting? Hm.....?"

Yangcong fixing his glasses in place with his left hand again.

wow. so many people here… it was a bit overwhelming. normally is group settings i was chased off with a broom or they threw some raw meat on the sidewalk to get me to leave. i knew better than to come back because the first time i ever returned for more food was the first time i had ever been shot. fortunately they missed anything fatal! i thought about going back to help them with their aim but you know… that’s prolly not for the best considering the target. and the fact they wouldn’t even reward me with meat anymore.

“okay…” i whispered back to arsenal. just talking to tough to make their other friend feel better… i just hope she wasn’t lying to me. but i’d trust her. because unlike the other times i turn quirks off she didn’t get scared and run or attack me. “i’m sorry i overreacted.”

i blink.

but that’s my cue i think, actually.

“i don’t know who the elementalist is but if they needed help nullifying his powers they should’ve asked me!” i don’t realize the hole i’ve dug for myself. especially in this room of all rooms. “but they prolly don’t know who i am… just like i don’t know who any of you are—”

a man walks in with a giant monster and easy, simple introduction.

“i think this guy has the right idea! we should also introduce ourselves so we can help each other when we need it yeah? i’ll go next.” i clear my throat. ahem. “hello! i’m rem. when my friend old man yams died, i plucked his eyes and took over shinjuku. all i had to do was kill that tsukishima guy! but it’s okay i think cos he was kind of a mean person anyway.” there that should sort everything out! “okay, who’s next?”

[Bakiri Retsu]

This was pathetic. A sour taste was left in Retsu's mouth. What the hells had she been waiting for? Just standing in the corner like some two-bit emo wasn't her style at all. It made her look afraid. Look weak. Two things she absolutely despised. Hearing Rem's last remark she stepped forward, ready once more to assert her will upon the world or die trying.

"Name's Bakuretsu," Retsu while running her eye over the crowd. "But ah rekken y'all already knew that." Perhaps it was her ego talking but compared to where she was a year ago Retsu had made waves. Perhaps not yet a tsunami but certainly big enough waves to drown most of her enemies. Her jaw clenched. Well, most of the enemies she knew about. "Ah killed one a' the Elementalist's fooked up experiments when they popped up. Naht too 'ard but fooked up an entire street 'fore ah put it down," she lied. Retsu had nearly died that day and the kill was far from just hers. "Who fookin' knows what else that prick's made bah now. Dere's lahk two other people in dis room ah rekken stand a chance against the thing ah killed so unless y'all wanna bow to a new fookin' god he needs ta be put down." Moreso the only reasons she included Elias in her estimations was his weird quirk and the sheer amount of people he could get to assist him. Other than that man, well, Retsu had learned the hard way to never bet against Rui, no matter how bad the odds seemed.

She didn't feel like reiterating any of the other points that had been said. The consequences of one of the Elementalist's other experiments getting free rein for a bit longer showed with the tower and the absolute clusterfuck it'd caused. No one here could claim to have indiscriminately affected millions like that. Anger smoldered beneath the surface. That was another thing she'd need to get payback for. "Y'all wanna go storm the tower? Be mah guest. Ah'll trade gear fer info." By now her bombs packed more than enough of a punch to make that an enticing prospect. "Same fer all the fooky shit in the ocean," Retsu added with an acknowledging nod towards Elias. She had no idea what the hells a Quirk Singularity was but it sounded like an absolute pain to deal with. If it inspired any more crazies to pick up human experimentation Retsu wanted it shut down before it got a chance to get started. She scowled at the thought. Quirkers were bad enough without fooky science thrown into the mix. One more thing had caught her attention however. Well, several of the things Rem said, but one in particular. Taking off her eyepatch she ignored the pangs of pain even the light in here caused to her left eye as she turned to him.

"Nullify his powers, ey? Sounds lahk bull. Show me."

Her not using a quirk was common knowledge but not having one? That wasn't exactly something anyone could say for sure. Her hand clenched into a fist. Hells, even she wasn't sure anymore.

Roasting Duck

Nick was all to happy to deal with anyone that managed to play along with him. There were lovely suckers like Arsenal who chipped in some spare change for the all-too-important-but-nonexistent tickets to the imaginary land of "Saint Louie" while other mooks like Olivia seemed to believe they were too high and mighty to pay the toll. Ooo, she's gonna pay alright... Unfortunately for the voices in Nick's head, Arsenal set him up for a zinger with a simple question.

"Three stalls down from Saint Paul with his Peter in the John." Nick grouchoed out with an inky black cigar that seemed to form from his mouth as he took Arsenal's coins. He didn't count it, he just tossed whatever she gave into his cap.

Before anything could be questioned further, he zipped away like a horse fly towards another mark as she entered the establishment. As Nick asked for her ticket, Retsu made a comment that was just too easy, asking if she looked like an idiot."If I said no, I'd either being lying or blind."

Nick laughed zanily and rushed before the woman could retaliate as it seemed the pièce de résistance of dopes walked in to pull focus. As if he was the most important person there, just because some of the slack-jawwed wannabes here were listening to the NPC in a hacky hockey mask. It wasn't in his best interest nor did it play with his current persona to troll these rubes for some cash, but this bum was just asking to get roasted. Nick zipped over towards the Coaltender, dropping his conductor accent, popping up over a shoulder and began antagonizing the schmuck. "Eh, Canadian Manian, Jason wants his intellectual property back, not that you look like a guy with any intellect to spare." With a laugh, he snapped over to the other side like a quick cut. "'Course, I'd want to put a mask on too if I was kicked out of the NHL for being so pucking ugly."

Nick laughed mockingly again and was about to scurry away, when suddenly he wasn't the only one razing on the masked meat-head. Another voice called out to the Coaltender, calling him The Mighty Duck. It wasn't a great jab as it was mainly to ask for clarification on whatever the hockey masked moron was going on about. Still it was a decently obscure taunt at guy and Nick couldn't help but pile on. "As much as I love roast duck, where's your boss, Wildwing? Is Emilio Estevez in the back or is Disney not schelping up for the cameo? The goons are gettin' goonie!"

Freak shows in giant vials, madmen riding unicycles, string up some lights and swirl the cotton candy. Elias was part of the circus now. And the madhouse did nothing to stir their masked host. Just who was it that hid behind the mask, and more importantly, who were his masters? Discounting an acknowledging nod in Retsu’s direction and an ear lent to Rem as the boy spoke confirmed a few suspicions, Elias solely pondered these questions.

Still as a stone and entirely unyielding. This fellow let nothing bother him or budge him from place. So, finally, Elias tilted his mask back for another searing sip of his drink, then set it aside.

“He’s speaking the truth, my dear,” he said to Retsu. “The details our fine friend here so freely shared line up quite well with some few whispers I’ve heard." 

“An interesting ability to be certain,” he continued, considering the similarities between Rem’s quirk and the weapons his benefactors had recently whipped together. Retsu would have a heyday when those hit the market. “But I do believe it’s time we draw back a bit and take a look at that bigger picture people are always raving about. We know the Elementalist is out there, we know he must be working to followup on his act one. So the question is, what will we do about it?”

It wasn’t their responsibility to stop him. Let the heroes deplete their ranks and undertake the effort, but only an individual blind, deaf, and dumb wouldn’t understand the potential here. The Elementalist created creatures capable of leveling city streets. Someone possessing that sort of ingenuity… and firepower merited the dark carnival’s collective attention. Elias knew what Ouroboros wanted, but what would his current company do to seize this opportunity? And it was exactly that—an opportunity.

[Date Oshiro]

Anything of note, Date? A voice would say in her head. The security operative was getting impatient. Based on the information she was hearing, there wasn't anything that was of interest to Hojo in the slightest. Some maniac that wants to take over Japan? What else is new. Another villain of the month as one of her supervisors put it. She doesn't get it. Those type of people never seem to think past step 2 of taking over a place. By some extension, these guys usually end up being fascists and don't understand the next thing about running anything efficiently. Only can rule with fear for so much time.

What did Date learn so far? Villains concerned about another villain? How boring. That's not something interesting or desirable. All these people think in minutes. Hojo thinks in decades. A company like them doesn't survive for 300+ years and many changes in the world by thinking in the short term. Based on that, this entire meeting was a waste of time for her. She did meet someone interesting though. Maybe she could be a future asset to her. Sometimes she liked diversifying people who would do jobs for Hojo. Hits, info gathering, and spying on the competition was always welcomed by her supervisors.

Holding out a small data chard, she waited for the Tsukiko to accept it. "Crack it, it calls me. If you need a job. Hojo can offer one. These avenues seems to be a waste of time." Date smiled before turning towards the rest of the room. This was a colossal waste of her time. She gave no shits about some maniac who thinks he can rule the world.

Not saying anything, she communicated to her detail that she was leaving. Without any word, Date simply ignored the rest and left the premises. If anyone tried to stop her, she would open up her mantis blades and very much acquainted the walls with their innards. She doubt any of these people be that stupid. Stepping back into the street, she simply would get into the car she came with and return to the office. This was going to be a short report. So short, she had written it before she got to the office.

Criminal meeting. Discussing the Elemental appears to be main topic. Elemental noted as not a concern to Hojo's success strategies by company memo 3.2-5C. Contact information given to potential future asset. Low level importance. Hours marked in data sheet.

What a waste.

[OOC: Date has left the thread]

[Rui Matsui]

She had to admit, compared to the last big gathering of villains she attended, this one was far less gloomy and far more entertaining. When the new guy introduced himself as Rem she just nodded her head and sipped on her drink. She couldn't help but wonder if it was an acronym, and what it might stand for. Maybe she should ask him later. She didn't have an acronym bestie after all. When it was Retsu's turn she waved at her Bomb Bestie like she was a parent waving back at their kid at the school talent show.

''My turn! I also want to introduce myself!!'' Rui jumped on the nearest table and held her arms over her head, swaying a bit from the alcohol she had been drinking. ''I'm Mummy, I love killing people!!'' She exclaimed, putting a hand on her hip as she confidently twirled her hair with her index finger. ''I actually killed one of the Elementalist guy's creations too, singlehandedly because I'm kind of strong and amazing.'' It was an obvious lie, but she felt like she could get away with it because surely none of the people here would know. ''Nullifying powers sounds fun! How does it work?? Also..'' She couldn't help but hold back a giggle before pointing at Nick. ''Who invited this very funny bestie? He's a riot!'' The giggle turned into a belly laugh. ''Roast duck! It's funny because animals are weak and they die!''

She looked over to Elias as he asked his question. ''Aren't we gonna kill him? He doesn't want to play ball with us and what, we're just gonna let him do his thing?'' She was caressing her bottle like she was one of those fancy villains from TV shows that always had a pet in their lap. ''I say we do the funniest thing possible. ~'' She swayed in her seat and held up an index finger. ''Kill the guy before anyone else can, wouldn't it be hilarious to watch the heroes scramble when we kill someone they couldn't stop?'' She was grinning from ear to ear, until someone who was already leaving quietly spoiled the mood for her. ''Byee grandma!'' Rui called out, waving at Date. ''You won't be missed!''

''Three stalls down?'' She blinked her eyes at Nick, completely clueless as she paid the toll anyway. ''Senpai, I think this man is speaking in riddles and that might be his quirk.'' She whispered to Olivia as she pointed towards Nick. His quirk was pretty striking, even though she had seen her fair share of mutation users she wasn't used to anyone being so... Animated.

''Wait, is that what happened?'' She asked Rem as he brought up his power and referenced using it on her. ''I thought I was just tired and out of steam. So it wasn't because my quirk ran out...'' She muttered to herself looking at her hands, before balling them into fists and looking back up with determination. ''That means I'm still tough.'' She joined the discussion at large, but she didn't really feel the need to chime in. ''I don't want to think.'' She finally said when the room fell silent. ''I have to ace my history test and get a high grade. I don't have room to think about this Elementalist, but I'll go where I need to. I'm a weapon, all you need to do is point me somewhere and pull the trigger.''

Burn it all down

It took Retsu a moment to fully hear Nick's reply, her instincts for danger not having reacted despite the sheer audacity of such words coming out of a mouth other than her own. Her eye twitched. "Ah ken arrang-" He was gone before she managed to finish her own retort. She let out a scoff while stepping away. Whatever. The coward could run, she had bigger fish to fry. Retsu wasn't salty about not getting the final word in at all. She'd get even eventually anyway, and then some.

Letting out a sardonic snort at Rem's rambling Retsu put her eyepatch back on. "Guess ya called mah bluff, huh." She replied, not sure what else to say. Perhaps it was for the best that he hadn't gone for it. Already a throbbing pain haunted her left eye, had her suspicions been proven correct she might not have been able to hide her reaction. Showing weakness like that would have been a mistake. Her teeth grit in anger. Now wasn't the time for that, no, that was a great way to get killed.

”That so?” She responded to Elias, not doubting his sources but being far less certain about his motivations. Retsu was no schemer and she wasn't gonna start trying to figure out what kinds of labyrinthine plans their kind could possibly have. Distrust served her well to face all of them. Still, she hadn't know Elias to lie so far. On the contrary the man seemed to weaponize the truth. She'd believe him until evidence of the contrary presented itself.

Same for Rui's words. She hadn't heard anything about her killing one of the Elementalist's experiments until now but it wouldn't surprise her. Hells, if the little demon walked into this meeting with the guy's head her first thought would be 'There goes my chance to loot his shit.'

When Date left the room Retsu's paranoia skyrocketed. Was she just here to verify their presence before springing a trap? Retsu's hands moved closer to her weapons. She wasn't going to act on her suspicions just yet but she was ready to go at any moment. For all she knew the white-haired 'better-than-thou' acting fooker worked for the Elementalist. Getting everyone into one place to discuss how to deal with them and then blowing the joint sounded like exactly the kind of thing Retsu herself would do. She wasn't going to fall for that. No, her guard stayed up even as the next person began to speak.

Her temper flared hearing Arsenal's words. Pathetic. She was no different from any of the Elementalist's toys. Retsu's gaze briefly went to Olivia. Didn't those two look close? She'd have to rethink her opinion on the mercenary. "Ah say we kill ‘em all." The words slipped out before she gave them any thought. With the floor being hers again she continued, ramping up momentum as she went. "The Elementalist, his cronies, anyone that has anything ta do with the fooker. Burn his shit, grab anythin’ we ken use and salt the fookin’ earth. Those things durin’ his trial damaged wards and that fookin’ tower a’ his nearly fooked over all a’ Tokyo." Pain shot through her eye at the memory. She wasn't about to forgive anything he did, he messed with her, he was going down. "Who fookin’ knows ‘ow he'll escalate next. Stroike first ah say. Givin’ the fooker tahm to prepare moite just make it too late ‘nd ah dunno ‘bout yall but ah dun’ think the law's gonna get off their arses ‘till we're all done fer. Fookers ain't exactly competent."

She had more to say but that could wait until the others here had played their cards. Momentum was one thing but she wasn't gonna show her hand before she knew what everyone else wanted out of this.

“you guys sure are interesting.” there were a lot of fun and kooky figures here who were prolly as deep as a 10 ft foot deep pool which isn’t very deep for a pool but it is for a soul, i think. “but…”

maybe i’m the odd one out. that’s usually the case. people tend to not want me around for that reason. and it’s not like i’m not used to it or anything so it won’t be a big deal but… it does feel odd considering people usually assume i’m a violent freak and i’m finally around some and yknow i don’t feel like i quite fit in but maybe it’s cos idk them yet.

“have we considered talkin to them first?” maybe it was crazy of me. i could be outta my mind who knows!! but i feel like that’s an obvious question that i uh think we should perhaps explore a bit… to at least get all of us on the same page. “maybe they’re just lonely and want friends.”
