Slade with a side of Ham (Personality Skew Plot) [Action]

[Any street in Venture City, middle of the day]
After exposure to the Gem of Pandora, there's a new Slade in town today - a more boisterous Slade. Instead of skulking in the shadows, he is out in middle of the street in broad daylight. Singing.
Behind him, he has two of his robot commandos with him, blasting what sounds like Flash by Queen (without the lyrics) and apparently acting as backup singers and dancers.

*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum*
Slade: "SLADE!"
Commandos: "AHHHahhhah!"
Slade: "The hero who's fabulous!"

*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum*
Slade: "SLADE!"
Commandos: "AHHHahhh!"
Slade: "Saves the day without a fuss!"

*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum*
*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum*
Slade: "SLADE!"
Commandos: "AHHHahhh!"
Slade: "Does the impossible!"

*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum*
Slade: "SLADE!"
Commandos: "AHHHahhh!"
Slade: "Stops the villains most volatile!"

*Jammin' electric guitar*
Slade and commandos in chorus: "He's for every one of us, stand for every one of us, He saves with a mighty hand every man, every woman, every child, with his mighty staff!"

((Feel free to join in, try to stop him, or just stare in disbelief.))

...Did Mom spike the oatmeal this morning or something?

[Ben's out of costume on his bike, a backpack on his back with a brown paper bag peeking out of it. Seriously, a fast grocery run for his mom shouldn't end in seeing stuff like this.]

Slade continues to rock out as he dances down the street. His commandos show off strobe lights and harmless but pretty pyrotechnics.

As Ben gets close, Slade gets to the slower part of the song, and reaches one hand out toward Ben while putting the other over his heart.

Ben recoiled at that, leaning a bit away. "Okay, I feel like I need an adult now."

Stranger danger!

[he smacks his head with his metal arm]

Bloody... What kind of barmy scheme are you coming up with?

[Slade ends his performance before replying. Though Slade still has the same voice, his tone has gone from sinister to something more akin to Adam West.]

Scheme? Good sir, you speak as if I am some sort of dastardly villain!

But Slade. You are a dastardly villain, one of the finest bilgerats of the city, even!

[This is simultaneously the most hilarious, and the most embarrassing thing he had ever seen in his life, and that's even account for the time the Pirate King ran around the city in drag]

Ha HA! Surely you jest, my friend! HA! A good sense of humor, I admire that in a man!

[And the Pirate King starts laughing, arms wrapped around his chest]

Good one.. Good one -

[then slowly the laughter died]

Wait. You're serious, aren't you?

[Slade laughs along with him. It is a ridiculous, hammy laugh, that stops when PK's does. He looks a bit perplexed at the question.]

If I'm serious about you joking does that make me still serious?

[Lucky Girl is sitting on a nearby rooftop with one leg dangling down watching this insanity. Should she put a stop to it? She's actually not sure since apparently people are starting to crowd the sides of the streets and watch. It's like a creepy sort of impromptu parade.]

Do you have a permit for all this?

[She's wondering if she should have packed a mini bullhorn in her utility belt this morning. Seriously, they better not start throwing out candy or something.]

Slade finishes his song by the time his "parade" gets to Lucky. Though his voice is the same, his usually sinister tone has been replaced by something more akin to Adam West's Batman.

"Hello there, Lucky Girl, my friend! Of course I have permits for this! One must ALWAYS abide by the law, lest chaos rule the day! Ha Ha!"

To say that Lucky Girl is taken back by his behavior is an understatement. It actually takes her a solid minute to answer.

"You're serious?" There's no weird mind control scheme here or some other weird and evil plan?

[Slowly raising her cellphone, Saft just stares in what could only be described as "what in the name of-" and takes a short video of the weirdness.]

This is totally going on Rumblr.

Slade finishes his little performance and sees Saft recording. He does three flips and lands in front of her. His usual sinister tone his replaced by Adam West levels of ham.

"Good afternoon, young lady! I can see you are a fan! Would you care for an autograph to go along with your photos?"

Edited 2014-08-11 18:11 (UTC)

"Uh no." Saft rushes to hide her phone, She's pretty sure Slade was supposed to be one of the bad guys, so him approaching her like this is making her feel super uncomfortable. Probably best to put the phone away now too, just in case.

"That's alright, feel free to carry on with your whole new...uh parading thing!"

[ Robin is not amused right now. ]

I don't know what you're trying to get out of this, but it's not funny.

Slade continues to rock out as he dances down the street. His commandos show off strobe lights and harmless but pretty pyrotechnics.

As Robin gets close, Slade gets to the slower part of the song, and reaches one hand out toward the Boy Wonder (as if expecting him to take it) while putting the other hand over his heart.

What was going on?

He watched as Slade offered him a hand, putting one over his heart. He honestly had...no idea what to think. Robin didn't want to think of the last time he saw Slade; it was still something burning inside and it made him sick. Was this mocking him? Was he taunting everything the superheroes worked for?

Or, maybe...had Slade been affected, too?

Robin looked up to him. "What are you thinking?"

[Okay, see cat stare. See cat tilt his head in confusion.

Is he trying to ruin Broadway for everyone? That fiend!]

Well THAT'S one for the scrap.

[Click! Slade's dancing is immortalized by Parley's phone.]

Slade finishes his little performance and sees Parley recording. He does three flips and lands in front of her. His usual sinister tone his replaced by Adam West levels of ham.

"Good afternoon, young lady! I can see you are a fan! Would you care for an autograph to go along with your photos?"

Edited 2014-08-11 18:12 (UTC)

"Wh..."

An autograph from Slade. One of the most infamous people in all of Venture City.

"...Yes. Yes I would."

How could she not? She dug around in her purse and found a little pad of paper and a pen. A pink glitter pen.

Edited 2014-08-11 18:22 (UTC)

Slade retrieves a silver sharpie and a stack of photos of himself from his utility belt.

"Who should I make it out to?"

So much for a pink, glittery autograph from a major supervillain.

"Parley."

"LOVELY name!"

Slade scribbles something on the photo, and hands it to Parley.

"There you go! You have a good day now, Parley! FOR JUSTICE!"

Parley stood there dumbly for a minute as he danced off.

"...The HECK just happened?"
