It's important to... punctuate that good still triumphs over evil." Right?

Moving toward Lex to view the open book in her hand, Max leaned toward her to view the page. "The Joker is... the enemy to Batman," he stated, just in case others hadn't known that yet. "His real name is unknown, it says... highly intelligent, powerful in hand-to-hand combat, skilled chemist..." He skimmed the page with his finger. "Erm... his sanity seems to be quite non-existent. That could be a weakness, couldn't it? And... it doesn't look like he has any real super-powers or anything of the sort. He's just gotta go by his gadgets and 'criminally deranged mind.'" Or whatever their quiz had said.

Fact. Max had them, so Vivi would focus on the more creative aspects. She'd studied up on heroes, so her villain knowledge was still relatively limited. She pulled out parchment and began to make their list.

Enemy to Batman
Unknown alter ego
Highly intelligent
Good at hand-to-hand combat
Chemist/inventor
Crazy-faced wacko

Wait, WHAAAT?!

She wanted the bad guy to lose??? But...but in the muggle movies they usually won and if they lost it was because of some stupid reason or another. The villain losing?? The child was all choked up by this.

No. Correction. Hearing Max say they needed to remain morally correct had her all choked up. Sweet Merlin. This was a VILLAIN class; all forms of moral should have been dropped at the door on the way in!!! Despite her strong disbelief in what the two were saying she kept quiet because they knew what they were doing and she was pretty clueless; what else was new?

She thought it was her turn to speak when Vivi asked what they already knew but then Max crawled into her personal bubble and peaked inside the book. Hmph! She thought that was her job. She peered a bit further down on the page. "It also says he killed a lot of people but got away with it 'cause they said he was insane--" She looked up at the two with wide eyes. "Can you really get away with stuff if people think you've gone mad??"

Murderer
Put into an asylum instead of prison

"No," Vivi glanced up from her list and made faces at Lex. No NO, they weren't going to consider insanity pleas in order to get away with doing wrong. Lex was just mad enough to try something like that. "You still get locked up, either way. And I'll vouch for you that you aren't crazy... just overly curious."

"I think acting out some part of the story we want to impart makes sense... although it would be good to give as much information as possible in the meantime." She didn't actually know the answer to Em's questions and hoped that Max or Lex would offer some insight.

Now she was loyal, outgoing and friendly. Then Max started talking about his strenghts and it made her question if she had any.

"I..I'm not that good a speaker, but I'm friendly and I'm a good singer and I'm alright at acting," she told the group with a nod. Might as well get that out there. If there was one thing she wanted to do, it was sing. Bliss listened to the other ideas the group had. Lex wanted to do a little skit of some sort and she imagined Lex would be good at that. She carried on listening.

They all made lots of good points about the Joker's strengths and weaknesses, but Bliss strangely liked the skit idea. "Um. I think the skit idea is good, we could incorporate a lot of things in it," Bliss explained her view before lowering her eyes but still smiled.

GIGGLE. This would be fun.

Another vote for a skit, and another one who didn't seem to know much about their villain. That was fair... they weren't all Muggles who cared deeply about ancient books, were they? "How are you at writing songs, though? Could you write us something in the next ten minutes? It has to rhyme, and you'll want to take the lead." Because Vivi didn't choose to sing today. Nope.

Nod. Nod. Nod.

trying to absorb what they had all been saying, Nessie just nodded her head. Insane. Right was a weakness and a strength in her opinion. Weakness because it meant you did crazy things, but strength because it was a good excuse not to be arressted. Not too hard this stuff then. "Also it say's that he jokes around a lot, maybe that could be seen as a weakness because he might get distracted from that?" Or maybe he didn't get distracted, but Ness knew she would have.

"As for the presentation, I can sort of act, I can't sing and my drawing isn't too good either. I'm more of a dancer." Not that she thought it would help much. She didn't mind helping out with speaking though, that she was used to all the time on the pitch. "I can talk though, if need be?" Yeah she would go with whatever the others wanted, she didn't mind. "Oh..um..and I can screech very loud, if you maybe want to use that for insanity?" She looked at her shoes not sure if that was the right thing to say.

Screeching? Hmm. Vivi considered writing that skill down, just because it was so interesting. "Does he joke around like... a prankster? Or does he use pseudo-jokes and the clown motif to help further the image that he's crazy and thus frightening?" She honestly didn't know.

This was where Mr. Bossman was supposed to put in his two more cents--no one said being boss was cheap. Vivi too because she was the Boss Lady. Duh.

The others could say stuff too though. In fact they really should have instead of allowing an 11 year old to. Not that she couldn't give good suggestions but she was most likely to go overboard and they didn't need that right now so she'd go quiet again until someone else spoke up.

"So that's our list so far." Vivi pushed it to the middle of the table and set down her quill so others could add things. "It sounds like we're in favor of the skit. I'm willing to take ideas, but what if we... have Lex dress as the Joker, and others dress as those who are considered his foes: Batman, Robin, Batgirl..." Others? She was willing to take suggestions so everyone had a role. "And while we 'fight' Lex, we build up these walls around her with the information we have written on the bricks, and the walls end up being the walls of her asylum... her prison. Sort of like the Joker's background and personality as the real walls imprisoning him."

Too metaphorical?
