First Floor Lobby, Evening

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

If anyone is actually in the dorms tonight and not at Logan-who-used-to-be-a-bunny's party, they might find The Tick in the first floor lobby, surrounded by notepads with writing all over them. He looks physically rested, but still a bit restless.

Little Wooden Boy is sitting in the chair opposite him.

Anyone who wanted to interrupt either one of them could do so rather easily.

"Oh, sorry, I'm not really up on my, um, insect terminology," she apologizes with a grimace, hoping she isn't offending.

"I think I'm doing next week's article on demons, but I'll get with you sometime in the near future."

"That's okay, plenty of people get it all mixed up." Tick's smile remained. He hadn't been in a newspaper since he was back in The City rescuing people every day. This was going to be keen!

Veronica grins.

"It's nice to have willing volunteers," she tells him. "I understand that some of the non-human students and faculty are afraid to be featured that way."

"Well, most people don't believe that I'm an arachnid," he said, still not showing any additional limbs. It's easy to see how people would make such a mistake. "So it would be nice to let people know the real The Tick, you know?"

"I would have never guessed if you hadn't told me," she admits.

"It's an easy mistake to make, really. I mean, not most of the time. You wouldn't mistake a regular little tick for a person or anything. That would just be silly! No, I'm a special case."

Veronica grins.

"That you are. I'm guessing not a whole lot of arachnids are super heroes either. Except Spiderman maybe. But then again, I don't think he would count."


[ooc: sorry for delay - finally crashed hard!]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, Spiderman? I'm just starting to hear about superheroes from other places. He sounds keen!"

[OOC: No worries. I know how that goes. :)]

Veronica chuckles. "Well, in my dimension, he's fictional, but I have a feeling that doesn't mean much here."

She pauses, trying to remember her Spiderman lore."He's this regular guy that's a scientist and he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and develops super powers," she explains.


[ooc: and now? I think this game needs a Peter Parker!]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Huh." Tick picks up one of his notepads and jots down a note saying that he should seek out his fellow arachnid hero if he gets the chance. "That sounds like a pretty keen origin. Does that kind of thing actually work, getting bitten by radioactive animals?"

[OOC: Mods willing, I want to apply to be him next semester. But there's that "Only new players can apply to be students" rule for the next enrollment. It couldn't hurt to beg plead bribe ask when we get closer.]

"It does in the movies," she says. "I can't say for sure about real life. But if zombies, vampires, witches and demons are all real, then why not?"


[ooc: that would be SO AWESOME. do you play any students now?]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"That's a very good point, Veronica! Who's to say what's impossible around here?"

[OOC: No, I don't. That's the only reason I think I even have a slim chance at getting them to adjust the rules. That and my rampant enthusiasm for wanting to play Peter. I wanted to sign up as Peter instead of Tick, actually, but I figured Tick would give me more flexibility as I was figuring this whole game out.]

"Well, Professor, I think it's time for me to get to bed. I'll be in touch about the article. Good night!"


[ooc: i think that makes sense... *hopes you get approval*]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Have a good afternoon night, Veronica!"

[OOC: Thank you!]
