Quote: Quote: VV is a confident career criminal but she's not averse to talking with someone who approaches her in a decent manner. She's less likely to try her "wiles" on a female superhero than a male one (e.g. Jarvis, CSFB! DBS, Danny Lyle)Quote: That would also be counter to what Lara is trying to do. She wants VV to feel comfortable around her. And yes, she's aware that it's a tall order, since VV likely hasn't trusted anyone since she can remember, and/or was stabbed in the back for it previously.That would require some background development for Vicki, something I've singularly failed to do since 1999. Quote: One of Lara's best friends back home is a former gangster - one who was never caught or arrested. Part of why she has an affinity for the Psychic Samurai. This friend was the first person to teach her to fight without her powers. It was the friendship with Lara that made that friend leave behind her old dangerous life - but without Lara ever asking her to.VV seems to love being a supervillainess. She knows she's good at it. Quote: Quote: One of the reason VV prefers working for the Hood is that he tends not to issue orders that she finds distasteful.Quote: And she might find it *really* distasteful if she finally has someone to talk to who doesn't judge her, and someone asks her to kill that friend.She'd do it if her contract required it, but it doesn't mean she'd like it. During the Saving the Future events she tried to kill former teammate Mary Prankstar, for example. Quote: That makes it sound a bit like Lara is trying to befriend VV to save herself, but ironically, that wasn't part of the plan at all. She genuinely feels like VV is alone in the world and unhappy, and that everyone deserves a friend.Quote: Quote: I doubt Hatty would much disagree with that, but might add that real friendship would include helping VV reform.Quote: She might use some of Chiaki's wisdom to answer that one; You can't truly reform anyone, they have to choose it for themselves to fully embrace it.Hatman thinks you can reform someone. It might even be a duty. His work at the Zero Street Mission ball team and with the GMY Care Centre are his ways of trying. Quote: Quote: That might be an underestimation given the levels of resource VV has available to her. Quote: I didn't say there was zero chance; Lara is taking *some* risk. But she's betting that she's right, that VV can use someone to talk to more than she can use yet another dead or captured hero in her wake.One might argue that without taking the risk, Lara's overtures have no credibility. Quote: She's also aware that there are others who might not want Lara anywhere near VV, and might try to harm her for it. It's a delicate balance.The objections might not come from Lara's friends but from VV's colleagues. Quote: And as I mentioned, she'd believe the risk is minimal, because if it all goes wrong or Lara is falling into a trap...it's would be the first time. If it goes right though, *that* is a big first.Noted. Quote: Lara doesn't quite trust Cathode yet, because she sees Cath as being too eager to please her boss. She can spot someone who will bow and break under pressure. Part of why she's reaching out to VV is she sees that VV is someone fiercely independent that doesn't really need the people who hire her.Quote: But, if Cath reaches out to her as a mentor, she's not one to turn her down.Silicone Sally will weigh in here when it becomes clear that Beth has created a new henchwoman for herself. Create is the proper term, because as with Sally, the Baroness seems to have included some mental alterations to her test subject, altering Cath's personality somewhat. Sally Rezilyant found herself much more compliant and much less bothered by conscience after she received her powers. Sally is suspicious that Cathode's friendly cheerfulness is another manifestation of similar programming. Quote: Quote: It is unlikely that VV would trust enough for a visit the the Lair Mansion. Maybe the Bean and Donut.Quote: It would indeed be really difficult for Lara to convince VV that it's safe.Everyone knows the Bean and Donut is neutral ground. Otherwise the waitress stares at you. And not only do lots of superheroes eat there, it is where the Hooded Hood goes for coffee. It is the most stupid place to rob in the entire Parodyverse. And it's owner lost an arm fighting the Parody Master one-on-one. Quote: Quote: They'd keep arguing between themselves. G-Eyed and Nats have a long history of not really getting on with each other. It's possibly the greatest rift between two members of the Lair Legion.Quote: Eventually Yuki would stumble upon them...or hear them from several floors away...and tell them both to shut up.Rinse and repeat. Quote: Quote: He would request her not to utter indiscreet trivialities in an attempt to buoy her chosen projected persona in his presence; it is unworthy of her.Quote: That would only prompt her to say, "Yep. Definitely compensating." She likes to irritate him, it's funny.It's all funny until someone loses a brain-body interface. | |||||||
