@悪 : ten chittaphon @悪 : park jisung @悪 : park jamie @悪 : lee chaeryeong @悪 : kim jongin @悪 : jennie kim @悪 : huang renjun @悪 : felix lee now that introductions have been made we can continue with the meeting ! our topic for today's meeting is this: "what would you be doing now if you weren't a villain?" this is to get you all thinking about how your evil ways have affected your life, whether positively or negatively. it's an exercise in the imagination, but please be realistic. that being said, if you don't like this topic and wish for a different one to discuss, please let it be known !

[ ooc: you may talk amongst yourselves over this topic. you can go around the circle again, or speak individually. however you feel most comfortable. you may also completely ignore this topic or delve into other ones, but the point of this is to interact with your fellow villains. if you have any questions feel free to tag the meeting head ! ]

Being in a room full of strangers makes Renjun feel like he's back at his first day in the academy, only this time he's not afraid to talk to anyone, he just doesn't want to. He's sequestered himself to a chair edged just a bit out of the circle, hidden within his dark brown robes, the hood pulled up to obscure his face except for his mouth. He'd much rather be back in his tower right now, reading through his latest heavy tome that he'd finally managed to steal from the Midnight Dragon. Yes, he would much rather be alone in his tall, dark, ominous tower by himself. Definitely. It's not like he's lonely or anything.

Renjun is still thinking about his newfound book when he realizes the room has gone quiet again, and looks up to find a few members of the group looking at him expectantly. "Ah," he clears his throat, hoping the shadows of his cloak hide the tell-tale flush of embarrassment high on his cheek bones. "I'm Renjun, although where I'm from everyone else calls me The Warlock of Senzien Tower. I'm here because I've been having some...trouble with my main adversary, and I guess to figure out if I'm actively evil or not. Sometimes I can't tell, but that's probably what happens when you use dark magic, and half your spirit is fused with a demon. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

The girl managed to listen to those around her, finding it interesting how they all had unique backgrounds and had different things they were going through currently as a villain. She watched as the last person, Ten, took a seat and asked who the next person was. She took a deep breath and pulled one hand out from her pocket and raised her hand. "I guess I'll go." She gave them a sheepish grin and put her hand back in her hoodie's pocket, deciding to play with her fingers as she tried to muster up more courage to speak. "I'm Icecapade but you can call me Chaeryeong. I'm not as interesting as all of you. Just an average girl forced to follow the footsteps of my 'supervillain'-" She put in air bunnies then put both hands back in her hoodie as she continued to speak. "-parents. I guess I'm here because I need more training in that aspect? You can say i'm not fit for the job but like any other interns, I gotta do what I gotta do. I hope we can all get along." She let out a sigh as she gave a sheepish grin.

It was a lot to process, the sudden appearances of new people and all the information that came with them. That, coupled with the fact that he hadn't been paying attention prior to everyone showing up, just made everything a lot more confusing for him, but this was the consequence he earned. And for better or worse, he was going to live with that as he took to his feet to stand, bow to everyone even. 'You'll have to forgive my lack of actual words. My vocal chords have never been functional in that way,' he mentally shares with the room, lips of his shaping into a gentle grin as his eyes pan the room to visually assess everyone before landing on Marcho beside him, whose attention only seemed to be waning at this point. With one small step forward, he fully presents himself to the group in hopes it gathers more of their attention, also hoping on the side that they find his unassuming human form pleasing as he'd spent time trying to make it the way it was, but quickly brushing that aside to begin introducing himself.

'I am simply known as Ten, and it is a pleasure to meet you all. I've come here today to get to know other people pressumably like me, but I do eventually want to discover why I am a villain, as I do not believe I am. Delusional, it may sound, but I've lived a long while and naturally done things I felt were necessary to survive like any other being, so I fail to see how my existence makes me evil, but I digress. I look forward to learning more about you all, and I hope we can all get along with one another at the very least.'

With that, he takes a step back and finds himself in his seat once more, eyeing the table of... snacks (he thinks), then pointing that gaze of his toward the fidgety Jisung in front of it. He looks him over, distracted at first by his nervousness, but silently cooing at this curious being before setting his attention on the group again. 'Who is going next? And when can we eat? I'm starving.'

All set to be half-attentive for the rest of the introduction, Jamie was half a second from restarting her music when her name was said. She looked to the source and listened. She then simpered, briefly lifting a shoulder in a shrug that confirmed the answer as yes without it accounting for any records, real or hypothetical, and mouthed an acute "But you didn't hear that from me." For an ancient, most-knowing being, she had next to no attention span and, as planned, checked out during the lengthy monologue. As things went on, she tried to pay a little more attention. The handsome-boy-with-no-worries opening from one caused a near inaudible snort to escape her, and those words occupied her mind for the rest of the rather short rant. She briefly gestured between Jennie and Felix, "I hear people say teamwork makes the dreamwork a lot, maybe that applies here? I'd take her up on that offer." The last to speak—thus far—was the most interesting; perhaps because he was the most relatable. She, too, had been going on a °˖✧ New Things Made by Stupid Beings ✧˖° tour and definitely planned on trading notes on what was worth a try later on.

Kai had shown up just before the meeting head decided to begin the introductions. Whilst listening to the admittedly somewhat confusing stories of horror and grief, he at some point lost himself in the process of updating his own mental knowledge. The initially cold metal chair he’d placed himself upon beside Felix had grown warm at this point with his body heat and it seemed, naturally, that it was his turn. So Kai cleared his throat, cast a cool glance around the room and stood up to his full 190cm, pocketing a hand in his designer jacket. “Hello fellow villains. I’m not sure if I quite classify as one of you yet as I haven’t committed any heinous crimes or actions while upon this... rather disturbing planet. However, my intent upon arrival was indeed the wiping of the entire existence. My name is Kade'ija Hasilwa'yai, or in earth terms I go by Kim Jongin. The easiest way to communicate to me is by calling me Kai.” He held an interesting accent, one that could only be described as a mix of french and russian, curling his tongue around the language softly. His name was a mess of foreign sounds, and the nickname definitely would suffice for the minds of the lesser intellect.

“It seems though, that despite your disregard for your own safety, inability to do... well anything as a species, and the overall embarrassment that is your technological advancement— you humans are quite the intriguing bunch. I have decided the wiping of the earthly plain isn’t necessary immediately, and have enjoyed my time recently trying new foods and romancing the idea of “korean dramas”.” The alien breaks out a teethy smile, rubbing his chin with a free finger. “Oh, also if you happen to understand the human concept of love, please take the time to explain. It seems like a petty waste of time investment for how short your pitiful lifespans are..” His expression had morphed to one of bother, shaking his head lightly before sitting down in his chair once again. He made the regular sized seat look dwarfed under his large figure.

@悪 : MEETING HEAD // 1! Sorry for being a bit late, work is disgusting lately

"heroes are despicable now arent they? i've had a few on my end. what bothers me most is that they think they are high and mighty in comparison to us. not like i care. i dont meddle with heroes as much. they're a waste of time. im here in annihilate anyone who gets in my way." the girl laughed at her own words. "next time you have something up your sleeve, invite me. i want to get dirty too."

@悪 : MEETING HEAD 1

// yes bub you tag the meeting head with, 1 to participate!

@悪 : MEETING HEAD oops did I need to tag?//

Hello, I am Felix Lee
I may look like I'm just a handsome boy with no worries, but I am sick and tired of hero showing me no respect! Once, I kidnapped psychotherapist, I just wanted to share my stories with someone but before I even went to the good part... Hero kicked the door open and blew up the machine I was working on. It was supposed to be my cleaning robot! It wasn't even a weapon but how would he know! HE NEVER SAT TROUGH MY MASTER EVIL PLANS AND ALWAYS ESCAPED THE HALF WAY.

jennie was tardy to the group discussion but arrived at proximately all the consequential components. there were not much people here, thankfully. being a villain for awhile now gained an abundance of apprehensiveness in her time. the heels of her ebony boots clicked onto the floor making loud sounds as she made her way into the circle and sat down next to the mute female who looked rather inculpable, in terms of looks though no one should judge a book by its cover so she sighed softly in her seat and leaned back against the chair. her eyes never left the female who talked about her issues.

a light chuckle eluded her lips upon her dilemma which only made the whole discussion a lot more regaling. since no one else was standing up, jennie decided to. despite only entering just a few minutes ago, she decided to wing it.

"marchosias, right? you telling me you kinda sorta got away from murder? bad . i dig it," she paused before playing with her locks and tossing her moiety white locks over her shoulder while ascertaining the other jet black side that laid nicely on her right shoulder. she cared so much about looks, for a villain, she was probably the most fashionable one. who wouldn't optate to look good while ravaging cities and potentially ending lives? "hey fellow troublemakers. the name is jennie and that's the birth name i go by. however, the world knows me as anhedonia. does anyone know the meaning of it?"

without giving a second for others to answer, she went ahead to answer her own question as she twirled around for the eyes that were upon her; a smile composing her tinted red lips. "to make it short, the lost of enjoyment. not being able to find pleasure in the things you once loved." she chuckled. "i know. what a weird name for a villain, right? but there's a backstory to it."

those words sunked in like a knife perforating through her heart. the miscreant life was fascinating. how she was able to feel such emotions even after all these years. her legs sanctioned her to pace back and forth in the center of the circle. as if her mind was recollecting the memories of her childhood up to the present.

"my parents were killed in battle when i was kid. that triggered my powers more greater than it did before. i was born into two powerful elements. mom was an incredible ice user while my father controlled fire. i had no siblings and it only made sense for the child to carry one element, right? well for some reason, i was blessed to carry both. that made me very important to the family and i was pressured to train at such a puerile age. for some reason my ancestors never liked the human race. they despised everyone who looked down on them. you see, my parents always had a motive. they weren't killing for fun. they were hurting those who deserved it. criminals, sinners, etc. but the world looked down on them. they called it iniquity and perished my family at townsquare."

the recollection overflowed her head where she replayed the death of her parents over and over again. she was only 8 years old when it took place. the cheers and cachinnation of the citizens who raised their fists in the air for the death of her heroes that they called 'perfidious demons'. "with the avail of my parents friends, i was kept hidden from the public. no one knew about my subsistence but that scene sparked something in me. i used to enjoy every little thing a normal child does. playing with my dolls, video games. i was raised quite normal. i suppose that's what my parents wanted me to live by but of course with the exception of special rules considering my bloodline." with her left hand she made little icicles in her palms while her right hand sparked a light of fire on the tip of her fingers. "i lost control and i demolished the entire city by the time i was 16. i came out of my hiding to avenge my parents. i killed everyone there with no remorse. that city no longer exists today. which i believe they deserve it. the only quandary now is - i hold a record of most deaths. im also on the run. those pesky police men are on my . not to mention, i've completely lost all emotions. pain? don't know what that is anymore."

before her emotions could get the best of her, jennie withdrew her ice and fire after a deep breath in and her heels. a smile composing her face once again. like a switch, she turned back to a genial puerile lady that she was and skipped back to her seat as if nothing happened. "thanks for listening." she inhaled once again but this time it was rather hard and exhaled heavily as she awaited for the next.

Despite her looks and what people see her as, Chaeryeong was a huge softie. She easily empathize with people, often letting go of her hostages to which they respond by comforting her, AND, she’s a klutz. How can she be a great villain like her dad if she’s this soft and clumsy. She let out a soft sigh, accidentally freezing the chair she was sitting on when she laid back against the backrest, making her groan softly before unfreezing her chair. Her eyes wandered around the room, looking at the different people who gathered. She was pretty surprised someone stood up first, ‘what a brave soul’ she thought to herself as she listened to her words. As soon as she girl finished, she gave her a tiny and quiet clap from inside the pocket of her hoodie then looked around, wondering who was next.

pursing his lips, fidgeting with his fingers as his eyes darted around the room. Jisung never felt so out of place, this was like middle school all over again. Tilting his head toward the side, rubbing his hands onto his nape awkwardly. was he supposed to day something? what was he supposed to do? oh geez, this was really nerve-wrecking, he just wanted to make some friends.

Lamenting the lack of armed chairs to comfortably toss her legs over, the primordial demon instead sat slumped in her chair with an ankle resting on the opposite knee. Music played through her earbuds, loud enough that those on either side of her could probably hear every other beat, but low enough that she heard the meeting head's drawn-out introduction. She facetiously snapped her long matte black nails like a foiled villain when the peace-keeping rules were laid out and, when another voice pinged in her mind oh so helpfully thought "Dos, don'ts, introductions."

She briefly scanned the room to see if anyone was going to step up and be the brave pioneer and introduce themselves first and, when no one would, she briefly raised a hand to get the head's attention, a silent 'I'll go.' She then stood up to her full (read: lacking) height (aided by the thickest platformed boots she could find), practically peeling herself from the uneven metal chair and sticking a hand in her hoodie pocket to quiet the grating vocals of Scarlxrd.

"Hey, what's up?" she greets, raising the other hand in a static wave. "I'm Marchosias, most people these days know me as Jamie, but it's Marchosias. Call me Marcho or don't talk to me at all. Uhm..what's trouble me? Well, I made one tiny, miniscule, unimportant comment about our boy prince Satan that he just /didn't/ like. So, I'm stuck on the Earth plane indefinitely. And that's just lead to this -ton of inconveniences. Like WASP moms? The. Worst." Her face scrunched up at the mere thought of them. "Then there's this detective that thinks I don't know he's a detective constantly on my case because of something I may or may not have done that might or might not be murder—" she pauses, giving way for a breath. "So, yeah. That's my baggage. Nice meeting you guys."

With that, she gives a double thumbs up and a tight smile, before sinking back into her seat, miffed by the decision to get up because her initial comfortable position was now impossible to recreate.

Spacey. He looks absolutely out of it, staring off into the middle of nowhere with his eyes not only void of any indicator that he was present, but also void of any indicator that he had anything going on in that head of his. It isn't until after the meeting head pipes up and explains everything and the silence of the room starts filling his ears that he tunes back into reality. Of course, he's utterly confused, but at times like this he was grateful that he couldn't actually speak. The amount of panic, stupidity, and uncertainty in his mind surely would have slipped out. He gradually settles down, though, and turns his attention to the nearest person, somehow mentally whispering his most pressing question: 'So... what all did the leader guy say just now?'
