Acronym Asylum: A Srs House of Srs Business

[billtodamax]

There's a whip snap, as a question-marked cane tries to find its way to the Catwoman's shoulder and hold her back, wielded by a newly bemasked Riddler. Seems he found the Personal Effects room as well....
"Excuse me, would you mind not killing the Sphenisciform? I have business with him."

Thanks. Says the penguin, righting himself. He picks his hat up off the floor, dusts it off, and places it with some ceremony back on his head. So, what do you want?

[Beans]

While this is happening, the guards remain surprisingly unphased, although several of them look like they're about to lose their lunches. They continue firing, the second guard with a taser... pretty much stuck until Dark Mask gets on, I suppouse.
((Who we should probably wait for before we keep going.))

Black Mask is tazed with a shuddering scream; she falls against a wall and crumples.
Twitch.
Twitch.

[Je dit Viola]

Cape, in her guard outfit, is still tazed. Unless the guard she burned up let go of the tazer and it shut off.

The fire snake slithers to the next target, the other one with the tazer of Black Mask.

[Falgorn]

Guards at the Asylum where so untrained. They should've expected something like this happening. Too bad ol' Batsy has to ruin the fun.
"Guard. How come everyone else is loose, but I'm still stuck in my cell?"

"Because you actually have competent guards here!" the guard exclaimed.

"Well, looks like an inmate's coming your way. You might wanna get in here and take cover."
The extremely foolish guard comes in the cell, seeing a few inmates that are armed.

"Hey, thanks for that." Suddenly, purple-text guard's head in slammed into the wall. Repeatedly.

"No, thank you." Deadshot says, looting a gun from the corpse. "I honestly thought he would shoot me. Oh well."
He quickly retrieves his mask, after opening his cell. "I'm back, Batman."

[Mr. Moon]

This time, the guards are prepared for Bane's rock-hurling assault - the boulder arcs towards the third of the four remaining guards, but he manages to jump back. However, he doesn't clear the boulder compleatly, and it lands on his left leg with a sickening crunch. The guard falls, screaming in agony and trying to lift the boulder off his crushed leg.

I imagine the sprinklers would have, at this point, reduced the size of the fire snake, although it's still a string of freaking fire, so it's rather effective against the guard, lighting him aflame in cloud of smoke, steam, and agonized screams. Both of the taser guards have let go of their weapons, but... the tazers have now caught fire, and the little coil thingies that connect the gun to the pads? They've caught fire too, and it's running down the coils right towards the two girls.

The remaning guards continue firing at Bane, sheer terror in their eyes.

[UncleWolf]

Bane quickly reaches out and grabs the two girls, dragging them to safety, even though he leaves the chords in. "Put away your weapons and those of you remaining will not be hurt. All I want are my items."

[Je dit Viola]

Oh! Cape gets dragged to safety.

The flame snake, as said, fizzles, hisses, and dissolves into steam, disappearing. No more flaming snake.

I think its safe to say that the shock is no longer running. So Cape tears the hook/wires off of her (ouch) and sears the wound shut with fire. Goody! Scars.

She then tries to cut Mask's wire to stop her from burning up. Although, the sprinklers might put out the fire. Are you okay?

[Beans]

I've learned to accept pain.
She tears the prongs out of her shoulder.
((And GONE again.))

[Mr. Moon]

Well.
Considering that the only surviving guards have either been severly burnt, had their leg crushed, or had to watch as his team was destroyed, Bane's offer is a rather convincing one.

The final standing guard stops firing, looking at the two other guards - the one on the left, let's name him Moe, has rolled the boulder off his leg and is looking down in horror at the strange angle his leg has taken on. The one on his right, he'll be named Sam, is badly burnt - his hair is scoarched, his skin is black in some places, and bright red in others, and he's on the floor, moaning in agony.
The standing guard drops his pistol and slowly raises his hands, eyes wide in fear - he's shaking vissibly. "I... I surrender..." He whimpers, not trusting the trio of super-villians, but not seeing another option to get out of this alive.

By now, the floor has a thick layer of water on it, and the clothes of the guards are soaked. Although, for convinience's sake, the sprinklers are only active in this floor, in this hallway.

[Je dit Viola]

I say we let them go, because he's cute. pipes Cape. And, besides, she can't burn anything in this flood of water.

She glances at the water. Then back at the cute guards. I'll see you later.

[UncleWolf]

Bane wanders out and bends down, straightening the guard's bent leg, ignoring the screaming. He turns to the standing guard. "Open the effects room, then get out of here. If anyone gives you trouble, tell them Bane will... take care of them."

[Mr. Moon]

Shaking from head to toe, the guard opens his mouth to speak, and has to try several times to get the words to come out. "I, I, I can't, Mister Bane." He says, finally, as water soaks his hair and runs down his face. He has to squint as the water is getting in his eyes, and he's too busy keeping his hands above his head to wipe it away. "I... don't have the, um, well... key. The, um... Warden is the only one allowed a copy..." He takes a step back as he delivers this news, and flinches if Bane moves at all, fearing that his life was about to end in a very squishy manner.

[Beans]

I say we let them go, because he's cute.

... What is it with you and the apparently "cute" guys?

Masky looks at the hapless guard who just spoke.
Alright then. How 'bout you tell us where the Warden is?

[Je dit Viola]

Hello...I'm a teenage girl... she says, rolling her eyes.

If it wasn't for the water, she'd use fire to intimidate the guards to tell stuff quicker. Instead, she just listens to how the guards answer. And splash a bit in the water.

[UncleWolf]

Bane looks at the guard and nods. "Go." He strides to the locked door to the effects room and kicks it off it's hinges before going in.

[Beans]

... Or, yeah, Bane could do that.

She looks over at Cape.
Hey, when I was your age I wasn't totally obsessed with guys and their looks.
Mostly because I despised everybody.

[Mr. Moon]

"Well... he's usually in, in his, um..." The guard trails off as Bane interupts him, and flinches as the hulking wall of a man walks past him, and breaks down the door. The guard winces, not even wanting to think of what tools, weapons and gear would be open to whoever wanted them...

He knows he should probably leave now, but something had to be taken care of... "Um... Mister.... Mister Bane...?" he stammers, and looks neviously down at his friends laying screaming or dead at his feet. "What's... what's going to happen to...?"

[UncleWolf]

Bane looks out at the injured guards. "I'll carry them out if you lead the way. The layout has changed since I was last here." He finds his box and smiles to himself. "Ahh...Venom. How much I missed you."

[Saurous]

A figure abruptly drops down from the rafters above, a soft rustling sound being the only warning of his arrival. Which probably isn't even audible over the fire alarm. He aims for the guard, attempting to land on or near the poor guy.

[Darkcomet]

DC-the-player is poked one too many times and says 'screw it' to the waiting.

Batman manages to avoid Poison Ivy's entanglement due to the smoke grenade and tackling the Joker and such. Why wouldn't said Joker just pass out already after getting minon-faced and tackled?

Regardless, there is a punch aimed at the monster clown's gut now, trying to knock her out already.

[Mr. Moon]

The guard nods to himself, still keeping his hands up in the air - they were starting to fall asleep. "Right. Lead the way. Yeah, I can do that." He stands in place, waiting for for Bane to finish up in the PE room.
Or...
That was the plan.

Instead, the guard has someone land on him. The already freaked out guard shrieks, falling down. Adrenaline surges through his body, and he attempts to grab the figure and roll him over to pin him.

****

Back at the entrance, Joker's high pitched laughter suddenly stops as the clown takes a hit to the gut. Her eyes go wide and she gasps for breath a little while, before grinning up at Batman. But that doesn't seem to do it, because she starts talking again.
"Oh, that's right, Beautiful, you know I just love it when you treat me rough!" Her voice is a hoarse whisper - she was just punched in the gut, I'd imagine that'd make it rather hard to talk. "But we can't play now, not when I haven't taught you the rules."

[Je dit Viola]

Cape shrieks when the man comes down on the guard. Oh, no! It's Bats! Or...not. The woman in the guard outfit with a cape glares at the newcomer, trying to see if she knows him from somewhere.

If it wasn't for all this water, she'd burn the newcomer. Instead...just *ssssss* steam where the fire goes.

[UncleWolf]

Seeing the figure fall onto the guard, Bane momentarily forgets about the Venom and aims a bone-crushing blow at the newcomer on instinct.

[Beans]

Crap! Black Mask hisses in surprise, drawing the stolen truncheon.

[Saurous]

Sadly, it isn't going to be that easy for the guard. The figure, which Cape should see is a rather wiry and thin man dressed in a ragged brown cloak and tunic, raises a small canister filled with a golden liquid. How he managed to hold onto that after falling several feet onto another person, I don't know. He presses down on a valve at the top of the can, spraying the stinging mist in the guard's face. I would assume that this would be very distracting.

However, how this affects the guard's ability to throw his attacker off is not tested, as the man is knocked away by Bane's punch. He skids across the floor, coming to a halt by a wall on the other side of the hallway.

((...and straight into deadtime, it seems. Bane and his silly super punches.))

[KerfuffleMach2]

Arnold watches this whole scene with a slight look of fear.

Skrall, on the other hand, laughs. Oh, this is gonna ge great!

[Darkcomet]

The Dark Knight rolls his eyes under the cowl, standing and trying to lift the Joker into the air (by the neck) in Harley's direction. Oh dear. "Talk." It's unclear whether this is directed at Joker or Harley. Perhaps both? Either way, it sounds almost like a threat. Probably is, considering Joker could very well be about to get choked.

[Mr. Moon]

The guard cries out as the golden mist is sprayed into his face, and, when the figure has been punched off of him by Bane, his hands immediately fly up, trying to rub the stinging liquid out of his eyes. Which will probably just rub it in further and make it worse.
After a moment, presumably when the stinging sensation fades off, the guard pulls his hands from his face and sits up.
Take it away, Saur.

****

Oh, my, Joker's held up by the throat and suspended in the air a second time in ten minutes. She's having quite the day today, isn't she?
As she hangs there, the Joker maintains eye contact with Batman, smirking even though she's having a pretty hard time breathing. Fortunately, this also means she can't talk, which means that Batman doesn't have to listen to her rambles... but also means that she can't talk.
She does, however, try to kick Batman in the shin.
Whether this is to get him to let him go or just get him angry is up for debate.

[Moofin Bard]

Catwoman watches the interaction between Batman and Joker from the air duct she's currently in. She's working on silently pulling the grate off.

[UncleWolf]

Since the guard looks fine after a moment, Bane returns to attaching his Venom dispenser to himself. After shoving the tubes into their sockets to his brain, he slides a vial into the wrist control. The green fluid fills the tubes and when the Venom reaches his brain, he takes a sharp breath of air into his lungs. Bane chortles as his muscles swell and his fur, claws and fangs grow back. "I am BANE!" He releases a bloodcurdling howl, celebrating his returned strength.
