THE LITTLE BAD

[finchmods]

THE LITTLE BAD

Irene knows that many of the students are itching to take down The Big Bad, but, really kids? You're not strong enough for that just yet. Still, it's the giving time of year, so instead she organizes for an adventure a little more on their level... The Little Bad. While obviously not as scary as her precious pet, this Shadow is nothing to sneeze at.

This voluntary session takes place in The Velvet Room, and is being held in the maze that students may recall from when they first met The Big Bad, though this time it's just a simple spiral inwards. Regular squads will go in first (if all of their members are participating and want to run the course), but afterwards Irene will let student-organized squads try their luck. They'll make their way in, fight a few smaller warm up, Shadows, and then they'll face off with The Little Bad in the center.

HOW THIS WORKS:

• This is voluntary training, so Irene isn't going to try to bully anyone into it. Your characters either need to want to be here, or have some friends/squadmates who have heckled them into it.
  
• It's assumed that each character went with their regular squad if they're all present, and you can have each of your characters roll with a student-built squad once. If you don't have enough numbers for a full squad, it's easy enough to pad with NPCs, so don't worry about that ♥
  
• Please only post an attempt with your character-made squad; we're not rolling for normal squads
  
• Student-made squads are five fighters and one Support (an actual Support character). They also require that one character be named as the leader (though they don't normally need to be a leader).
  
• Based on how a squad rolls as a whole, characters will receive small XP bonus on top of their monthly rolls
  
• Please respond by Tuesday, November 27th 10PM CST to be included in your team's roll

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other squad members:</b> Just list 'em all. <b>Is this character the squad's leader?:</b> Y/N <b>Effort:</b> How hard are they trying? Number 1-5 <b>Anything else?:</b>

» DURING TRAINING: Post in attempts with your character-made squads, or spectate! Everyone is asked to behave when it's not their turn, or Irene'll be really annoyed and maybe throw you out.

» AFTER TRAINING: How did that go? Hopefully you're not dreaming of having a different squad now...

DURING TRAINING

[finchmods]

ATTEMPTS

[finchmods]

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other squad members:</b> Just list 'em all. <b>Is this character the squad's leader?:</b> Y/N <b>Effort:</b> How hard are they trying? Number 1-5 <b>Anything else?:</b>

[adamho]

Character Name: Adam Ho
Other squad members: Suzy Choi, Scout Thoroughgood, Flint Chambers, Atticus Starling, & Eli Gardner
Is this character the squad's leader?: Nope.
Effort: 5!
Anything else?: This isn't as good as taking down the Big Bad, but he's still determined to wreck this thing~

ATTEMPTS: Sullivan

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

Character Name: Sullivan Sinclair
Other squad members: Kodi, Lee, Pearl, Russy, Sabrina
Is this character the squad's leader?: N

ATTEMPTS: Neal

[heliocentrist]

Character Name: Neal Valentine
Other squad members: Neal, Venus, Noah, Marty, CC and ?Tawny?
Is this character the squad's leader?: N
Effort: 4. If Neal stops trying his hardest he'll probably die, but he's very enamoured by his teammates, and can't resist fawning over them. The excitement of teaming up with his friends has split his focus.
Anything else?: Team Cyclone!!!!

Eli before training. (open++)

[pleaseloveme]

Eli's pencil moves rapidly across his notebook, with the sloppy handwriting that he uses when he's sure no one's going to see what he's writing. Names, elements, abilities, balance. With so much air and thunder it's going to be hard. Hopefully the "little bad" isn't resistant to either of those elements. Except it probably is. Which means Flint will be important. Hmm...

This thought process continues, and meanwhile Eli is oblivious to the action around him. Almost unthinking, he draws his legs up onto his chair to get out of the way of a passerby. All the while he remains focused on his incomprehensible notes.

AFTER TRAINING

Melodramatic Pool Boy Goes For A Swim (Open)

[unironickylorenfan]

Even when it's just an exercise, even when it's with friends, regardless of performance, playing leader makes Liam feel like his skin is crawling with ants. Bugs creeping up his spine, tiny feet burning, reminding him of every perceived error. It takes a lot to keep a confident face once it's all done. He's generous with compliments for his squad mates, but can't get out of there fast enough.

A jog to the gym and a quick shower later, he's dressed in shorts, shoving a set of waterproof buds into his ears. A swim will help. Get rid of that excess energy. The bugs. He cranks up the volume as loud as he can stand, Queen blaring in his ears, and jumps into the water. Before he starts his laps, he lets himself sink to the bottom, pressing his hands flat against the cold pool floor. Then opens his mouth and yells, watching all the bubbles through squinting eyes.

scrambles to find a lab partner

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[weewilywilkie]

I love this :(
I can post the jr coins bbs and then I have to go shopping but from the other post I gleaned that sully pearl lee kodi and potato could feasibly team!?
And if anyone needs an extra Slade is still alive and dumb! Promise!

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[mudskipper]

Yay!! 💕

Nora still needs a team if anyone would like to adopt her, please!

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[unironickylorenfan]

WOOP. NEAT. Okay sooooo:

Liam is leading(?) the Jr Coins Squad with Kyra, Richie, Selby and Hads as Support. Do we just want to say Eva is our NPC 6th or does anyone want to squish in on this?

Sully is, I'M PRETTY SURE, running support for the squad that Pearl, Lee, Kodi and Sabrina are on. We have one open slot there??

Hamsi is on Team Bad Cops with Tal, Merry and Rose and we still have bad cop spots open there!!

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[heliocentrist]

YAY CUTE

Neal, Venus, CC, Noah and Marty need a Support to complete this disaster team-up!!!

And then Zinnia has Luke, Shiloh, Gregory and maybe Marina and Marzio??? Her goal is just to be the leader and push soft boys around, so.

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[ballhoot]

I'm heeeere, though I might pass out again I want to die. I know Marzio is with Marina and Sabrina is with Lee and Kodi, but Emma could still go on a team!!

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[highercalling]

rose is on team bad cop, but dustin and petra are free to a good home if you need padding for any of your squads

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[dallaslevy]

Adam and Selby are spoken for, but Dallas is around if anyone wants to adopt a stray~

No one stress!!!

[finchmods]

You can post for your kid and we'll assign them to either an NPC team or a pair the spares team if they don't have squad members, so everyone can get in on this ♥ And you can post with an incomplete team too; we'll add in NPCs later if no one fills it out!

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[star_boy]

Jackie is at a movie BUT I believe Francesca and Quincey are free!! (Sorry Jackie I'm just selling your children for you)

Re: OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

[dallaslevy]

I promise I will post someone with an effort that is not 5.
