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...

And then there is chaos. The water crashes and breaks, both parties inhale water. Are you attacked? Are you drowning? There's laughter, shrill and delighted, right in Liam's ear. Zinnia wraps her arms around him like she's a siren ready to pull a man down to his death, but this is Liam. So instead she presses a cheek to his shoulder, all harmless giggles.

A choking cough escapes him, panicked until he recognizes that laugh and the red hair draped over his shoulder. Then he's laughing, too, a bright snort of sound as he kicks to keep them above water. At any rate, that creepy-crawly anxious feeling is gone, shunted out from the shock of it. Replaced now with the sharp electric tingle of human contact. Liam tenses in that practiced and careful way he does - that Liam, don't be so weird about it way.

"Oh my God, Zinnia. You gave me a heart attack." Beneath the grousing, the relief in his voice is palpable, like - what? He thought he was being attacked by a Shadow? Ridiculous. "Unless that was your goal. Assassin."

He dunks the both of them for good measure, then surfaces, again.

Zinnia shrieks, but when she surfaces again she's laughing, with a grin splitting her face. "Jerk!" She uses all her power to send a wave of water at Liam's face in retaliation, as though she hadn't just tackled him.

But Liam's attacker composes herself, brushing locks of wet hair out of her face. She bobs in the water, hopping on her tip-toes. She's a delighted mermaid, ready to drown this sailor at the slightest provocation. "I have a sixth sense for when you're sulking. I was trying to save you from yourself."

Shielding his face with his arm, he sputters and laughs as he's splashed.

"And free me from my suffering? Literally drown my sorrows." He returns with a suspicious smile that twitches at the corners, dipping his chin down low as if to glower at her over the glasses he isn't presently wearing. After a beat, he tilts his chin back up, watchful. "Am I really that easy to read?" Yes, Liam. Yes you are.
