Niso wasn't sure how he'd gotten into this little competition through the villain chat, but it certainly fit his need to put himself in new and unusual, chaotic situations. They two, Niso and Recoil...or was it impact now? Whatever. The two of them had determined they would meet in one of the alleyways of Nakano, and wait to spot one of the pro heroes. Apparently they'd all be called by the police for backup as they were trying to retake the unruly streets of Nakano, and that made this place the easiest way to spot one who MAAAY have better things to do than catch a bunch of ruffians who'd just yelled random gibberish in their face...
Still. As far as this contest went...Niso felt he had it in the bag. He didn't have the theatrics perhaps. No cloak, no cape, no truly well made mask, but Niso had the drive behind a good monologue, or so he believed. He had a true desire to cause and seek chaos like no one he had ever experienced beyond himself, and as the mediating force in their villain chat conversation had pointed out, that itself was what one needed for a solid monologue. Now of course, forcing it may have been a seperate beast entirely, but Niso was sure in his capacity to improvise. It was basically all he did...and he felt he could turn on the cheesy charm like Recoil if he so needed to. Or Impact. Or whatever.
Peering about a corner, Niso had been tailing one of the heroes patrolling the streets for a while now. A rather new hero with the appearance of a beefy minotaur. Now sure, was Niso eager to be on the recieving end of this guy charging him? No. BUT. If this guy hadn't even made it into the big news yet like Red Horn Niso was going to save his fear until he saw the guy in action, and if push came to shove, he was pretty sure he could outrun recoil...
Glancing to the otherside, he spotted Recoil himself, grinning wide, almost wider than his lips should allow, throwing his arms open to greet him. While Recoil may have a real costume, Niso was simply wearing a black shirt with a print out of a photo of the Painter's latest 'art piece' though it was blurry enough you couldn't tell there was a corpse in the middle of it all. He also simply wore some faded out jeans, seeming very casual for a villain about to deliver a big speech.
"RECOIL! IMPACT! WHOEVER!" He chimed without much subtlety, relying on the general hustle and bustle of Nakano's chaotic streets to drown him out. "Okay! I found us a hero. I'm happy to let you go first, but some ground rules. No speaking over eachother's monologues, no fighting the villain before we're done, and finally, of course, if the hero DOES attack us first, work together to get away! Afterall neither of us wants to go to prison over some silly game no?"

Recoil rubbed his hands in a rather villainous manner. "Hehehhehe." He stood over perhaps his most well made monologue yet, it was absolutely devious~! He gave himself a mental pat on the back, knowing full well this would be what secure's his spot in the competition.
Feeling safe in his monologue he left his apartment, giddy with excitement for what the day had in store for him. See, this was the first time ever he had been in a monologue off with another villain, and the first time he had teamed up with another villain. This made today a very critical one in his development as the "honorable" villain Recoil. This is where he'd really have to show his "stuff" so to speak. Now mind you of course, he wasn't all that happy with who would be his first partner as it was none other than the organ apprentice and to add to that he was still healing from his engagement with the mugger so his right arm wasn't exactly up to snuff, but that never stopped him before and it surely wouldn't stop him now. And so, with a hoodie, a mask, a pair of jeans, and a tattered cape that he wanted to find an excuse to make use of again, he set off on his quest.
Upon nearing the location Niso had texted him about, while walking on the side walk seemingly unsure where to go, he was caught off guard by Niso's outburst. "HM WHERE WH- OH!" He quickly made his way toward Niso, believing himself stealthy even through he looked very out of place.
He was a bit disappointed with Niso's get up, rather casual attire, I mean not too dissimilar to what he wore when he found him in the alleyway but he always assumed that was just because he didn't need to look good for that, but no, instead he seemed to always be casual which was saddening but he understood why, logistics and all that.
"Ground rules? I like this already! I had planned for some as well but let's see what yours are." Recoil nodded as each of the rules he felt a little saddened as... Those were the same rules he was going to propose... Uh. "Excellent! I like them."
Recoil scratched his chin trying to think of another rule so he lived up to his promise of adding his own rules that he arbitrarily bound himself to. "We should also make sure to only refer to each other with our villain names... Even through you don't actually know my name now that I think about it." The last part he mumbled under his breath before dramatically pointing to the sky and loudly saying. " BUT BESIDES THAT! Who have you chosen for us to test our skills?" He actually almost forgot about it.

Niso grinned wide as his ground rules were accepted. While not typically one to impose rules of any kind, the fact this situation was so chaotic to begin with made him feel it was worth the exception just to ensure they did this right. They were going to monologue off afterall, it had to be imposing, show their motives and all that cliché stuff…with Recoil’s desire to just be a cool, honourable villain, he had to wonder how much of his monologue would be truthful and how much would be imposing and made up gibberish just so he sounded cool. Niso meanwhile planned to improvise from the heart…but he’d let Recoil go first so he knew what he was aiming for.
“Right rigjht, villain names only. Let me just-“ Niso lifted a hand over his face, a sickly sound radiating from his skin as he developed a second layer of flesh over the original one. It was pitch black with an almost drawn on smile and eerily blank eyes painted on to the flesh in white. The sickly sound having been from his skin cells rapidly generating this flesh mask now over his face, though somehow his voice didn’t seem at all muffled as he spoke through it. “There we go!~ Now! As for who we have…!”
Niso did a little dance with his arms, spinning them in a circle before pointing onto the main street. He would point to the bull hero he’d been tracking for a while, the fake smile on his flesh mask widening further. “This guy! Big and scary but I’m told he’s actually kind of a softie so he should totally let us do the monologue thing if we pretend to just be normal people wanting his opinion on some role play crap. Now I’m not really one for lying, being Pinocchio and all, but a little bit of acting never hurt anyone.~”
Once Recoil made any signs he was on board with this, Niso’s mask’s smile would soften a little and he’d move swiftly behind the other person, rgasping the back of their cape before giving them a hard shove out into the main street and into the path of the bull themed hero, chipperly jumping in after him with a bright smile across his flesh mask and widening his arms wide. “HO HERO! Me and my friend have a request of you!” He boldly declaimed, with zero sense of self preservation.

Patrolling Nakano was a completely different experience to Wagyu’s usual route. Not that the rest of Tokyo was a crimeless paradise, but God, Nakano was something else. When he wasn’t being called for more widespread crime, he would be spotting pickpockets or shoplifters out of the corner of his eye almost every hour, and when THAT wasn’t the case, he was hearing someone or another yelling Quirkist abuse over the crowd.
This all to say, he wasn’t exactly in a good mood. He’d lived long enough that random assholes on the street didn’t get to him, but it was tiring all the same. He was so tired, he didn’t even bat an eye at the rather conspicuous bystander in a mask and cape, instead just sighing and carrying on. No point in starting trouble with whoever was probably a wannabe vigilante when actual crimes were happening just down the road.
Unfortunately, the world didn’t seem to care what Wagyu thought that day, as the caped man was practically thrown back into his path, followed by a man who’s appearance would certainly be startling to any other person, but to Wagyu just appeared to be an unfortunate mutation.
Wagyu wasn’t one to judge a book by its cover, but its words were more open to that, and what little he’d heard from the mutant was already irritating. Something about his attitude was just rubbing the bull all the wrong ways.
“If you know I’m a hero, you should know I’m very busy here. Go ahead and make your request, but be quick.” He grunted, taking a single step toward the obnoxious pair. He narrowed his eyes and tilted his head back, rising to his full height. “Unless you’re trying to pick a fight with me?”

Recoil rolled his eyes before rubbing the bridge of his nose in a pinching motion through his mask. "Did you forget your costume! That's basic villain- oh god what the fuck." As Matthew looked up to Niso he visibly winced in disgust and a little bit of terror, he had forgotten Niso's... Thing...
Well... It was too late to back out now, and he refused to be one upped! After all he was the legendary Recoil! He quickly recollected himself and followed Niso's lead behind him as he pointed out the hero they'd monologue to... Was... IT WAS THE BULL! He had a monologue just for this! Recoil grinned beneath his mask. "Child's play." He thought.
Recoil nodded, although he had no intentions of lying to the the legendary bull Wagyu. Soon enough Niso shoved him out onto the main street catching the number one villain off guard for a moment, nearly falling over! After catching himself he took his lead and began to walk over to the pro hero as Niso beckoned for his attention. He was large as one would expect for a giant bull, he was as impressive as befit a pro hero Recoil thought, a rare thing these days. After a brief second of silence of the two sides taking some note of each other and Niso explaining that they'd have request the bull responded.
“If you know I’m a hero, you should know I’m very busy here. Go ahead and make your request, but be quick. Unless you're trying to pick a fight with me?"
Recoil laughed and started to shake his head before bowing. "Normally I, the legendary Recoil, would enjoy a brawl but today we have something different in mind! You see me and my companion here are villains and we'd like to both show off our best monologues to you. With you, my good hero, acting as our respectable and knowledgeable judge to decide who has the better monologue and finally putting and end to our little rivalry. How does that sounds? Because after all who'd be a better judge then a mighty pro hero! None other than WAGYU! The... Uh... Bull? Whatever, What do you say?" Matthew had a momentary panic as he forgot Wagyu's nickname but he managed to save himself from near collapse.
This was going to go great.

Niso grinned as he ever did, even through the flesh mask that he was wearing. The white smile that looked like it was almost painted onto his flesh briefly separating like melting skin whenever he wished to speak through it before snapping shut again. It was a wonder on some levels he could even breathe, but with full control over all of his cells it was more than easy enough to make the flesh mask have some careful places spaces in the edges to allow it to be breathable.
As they stepped out infront of the bull man, Niso slowly started to take in just how big this fellow was. Now, as someone who immensely feared death, this guy posed no threat to him whatsoever. Be it in jail or in the open, Niso didn’t care how he lived so long as he lived, so any pro hero didn’t scare him in the slightest…but he had to admit this guy could probably hurt him a lot if it came down to it, a soft whistle flowing from behind his mask, muffled as he forgot to open the mouth section to allow it to flow. His eyes shifted across to Recoil as he seemed to be starting the monologues early, though ever the ‘dissapointment;’ to the ‘villain’s villain’ recoil, Niso simply backed up what he was saying by pointing a thumb in recoil’s direction and stating. “What he said.”
There was a beat of silence before he leaned over however and added. “Actually I think he’s a minotaur, not a bull…” A small nitpick perhaps, but he wasn’t aware ‘the bull’ was this guys official title, like how Red Horn might call themselves an Oni, but on some level Niso was just trying to get under recoil’s skin by correcting him.

As soon as the caped fellow started to speak, Wagyu’s hand was already at his nose, rubbing the bridge in irritation. He’d all but given up the idea that these two were real villains at this point, considering how this speech was going. After all, no real villain would deliberately seek out a hero for something so petty as a monologue competition. Those that Wagyu had fought before had cared not for monologuing at all, and if they did, they had a reason besides monologuing for its own sake. Some actual cause they were attempting to push, or an attempt to deconstruct Wagyu’s reasons to fight.
But, unfortunately, he’d already engaged these two lunatics in their weird performative villainy, and thus it was too late for him to just turn and walk away. Glancing back over at the other villain, the mutant, Wagyu caught a strange feeling of malice from him. The caped idiot, Recoil he called himself, just seemed like a manchild playing pretend, but there was something about his partner that struck Wagyu as dangerous. Perhaps it was how he’d instantly dropped any pretense of performance the moment the focus was on Recoil, but was still behaving casually, far too much for someone openly advertising themselves as a villain in front of a Hero.
Certainly, this would be someone worth keeping one eye on, whatever his name was. He hadn’t offered it, unlike Recoil. But for now, he had to at least respond to the manchild who… perhaps hadn’t realized the contest hadn’t started yet.
“You’re far too old to be behaving like this. You know there are real villains out there, actually hurting people, right? Calling yourself a villain on its own isn’t a crime, but it’ll certainly not get you in society’s good graces.” He sighed. There’d been so many cases of Quirkers being pushed into the role of villain by society, the idea of someone choosing to become one purely for fun just disappointed him, more than anything. “But, sure, sure, I’ll judge your monologues or whatever.”
At the very least, he’d have the other guy where he could see him if he entertained their request. Plus, it’d give him a good idea of what Recoil thought villainy actually was - whether he would be a problem down the road or not.
“Also, it’s King Taurus. That’s my hero name. Surely, if you’ve singled me out for your contest, you could’ve put a moment’s research in.”
