fandomtownies | An abandoned warehouse, Friday after classes

With the few visual cues and hints the Joker left during the lecture, as well as his obvious flair for the big and dramatic, rounding out with the very fact that the town had an abandoned warehouse district, the abandoned warehouse district seemed like the right place to look for where the crazed clown might be keeping the Caped Crusader.

After narrowing down the most likely candidate, several Advanced Survivalism students entered….

Sia	"This doesn't look foreboding at all," Sia said, taking the place in. Really, anyplace in the abandoned warehouse district totally looked really foreboding right now.
Victor	"The guy's not messing around with this villain stuff," Victor agreed. "I'd feel better if we could see what we were in for." He knew they wouldn't be much good as a secret deadly lair if the threat was immediately visible, of course. It'd still be comforting to have something to punch.
Sia	"I know we should definitely be on guard, but that probably goes without saying," she said, sort of wishing her danger sense would be slightly more precise in cases like this.
Emily	Why was Emily there, again? Oh right, the teacher needed their help. Not Emily's help in particular, but she figured there would be a chance for her to see some action. "Is anybody else considering this might be a terrible idea?"
Korra	"Well, yeah," Korra said. "But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it." Sometimes the terrible idea was the only right option.
Emily	"You hero types are just crazy to jump into trouble, around you?" Emily said flatly as she looked at the warehouse. She then sighed, shoulders dropping down. "Well then, let's get on with this."
Alex	This was the kind of thing Alex was going to be doing in the future, right? Why not start with saving her teacher? "This should be fun," she said, the sarcasm in her tone mixed with nervousness.
The Joker	As soon as anyone who was coming in was in, security doors dropped down and bars slammed down over the windows. All in all, it seemed likely that this was probably the Joker's place in town. "Sorry, kids!" Joker's voice called out over a speaker. "But your Bat-princess is in another castle. Kids today will still get that reference, right? I probably won't get a good answer since you'll all be dead by the next time I see you in person, so I'll just assume it's the terror that's keeping you from laughing." "But since you were all so kind to come out and be good sam- and samantharians, I'll make sure you go out with a little flair. That warehouse you're trapped in has more than enough death traps for all of you! Just try not to bleed too much. That's coming right out of my deposit. Ta ta!" After a few seconds, the PA system squawked back to life. "Wait, I just remembered that I didn't pay for this warehouse. Bleed all you want!"

[OOC: There are some preplayed threads in the comments, but the main threads are open for live play as well! Feel free to jump in if you play someone in Batman's class or would be dragged along by someone in it.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

In case anyone else made their way in who hasn't been noted already.

As soon as the Joker was done making announcements, three strangely familiar muscle-bound stooges rushed in. Mo, Lar, and Cur were big, they were tough, and they were ready to make your skulls numb with punches and lead pipes.

[OOC: After the fight with Victor, Mo is injured but still able to fight. Feel free to mod him in a fight OR wait for me to NPC him. Either way!]

While Mo, Lar, and Cur were making their entrance, two thick plexiglass cages rose up from the floor, trapping up to three people in each one. The first cage started filling with a poison gas that would make them progressively weaker. This was the boring chamber where only death awaited you unless you could break out or block the gas somehow. Of course, even if you blocked it off, you would still suffocate.

[OOC: Sia broke it, for the better! No more playing in the poison gas.]

This plexiglass cage was quickly filling with a much less boring gas: Joker Venom! It was a weak batch since, well, Joker was busy getting the rest of this together, but as long as you were in here you would quickly develop a debilitating case of the giggles! Well, less giggles and more uncontrollable, hysterical laughter that would eventually kill you with a smile on your face.

This acted faster than the regular gas, so you better start moving! Getting out of the gas and getting oxygen will slowly bring you back to normal.

[OOC: Up to three people can ping in here. Super-strength or energy blasts should be able to break the plexi with a few tries. Regular strength will take some work, but you better act quickly! Go ahead and shatter the plexi when you're done.]

Well, the good thing about being an airbender was Korra could keep a bubble of clean air around them...while they still had clean air.

"Anyone want to get to breaking the glass?" she asked, with a nervous laugh. Hopefully it was just nerves.

As if there wasn't enough going on, another group of thugs entered the warehouse. These guys wore read because they were Marxists. Say the secret word and win a prize: a cap in your ass. *horn honk*

[OOC: Completely moldable. Take on a big, burly Marx Brother look-alike!]

At this point, the Joker has apparently gotten bored, so he was just going to let machine guns pop up from everywhere and start firing at random. Have fun dodging, kids!

[OOC: Moddable! There are a handful of turrets, feel free to destroy them.]

"Huh. None of you died?!" Joker asked incredulously over the loudspeaker. "Well, at least today won't be a total waste. I still have my ultimate prize to claim: the death of Ba--"

"Nuts. Well, I guess I'll be going much faster than intended. See you all next time!"

The students were apparently out of danger. The doors and windows were still locked, though. Oops. Just knock down a wall and wonder what happened to Batman.

[OOC: Please note that since there were only a couple pings here in the prepay, I didn't copy those over. So consider this to be completely live-played!]

Thank you again for indulging this. The story of Batman and the Joker while all of this is happening will go up after work!

Meanwhile, please let me know if you have any questions or need any NPCs!
