People you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley

[Archer he/him]

"You've been warned..."

"Goodnight!" A voice suddenly appears in the alley. "I have a message for the DA! I'd thought crippling your organization would be enough to stop your recruitment. Apparently I was wrong. This is your final warning to you denizens of dread. Cease and desist, or face the wrath of TUBA!" The voice fades away, leaving the confused members of the DA to wonder what had just happened. 

"Crippling what?" a husky, grizzled voice asks, before clearing it's throat and continuing in a more normal tone. "That one department that was newly formed specifically to flush out infiltrators? Which it did perfectly and then disolved itself, granting no information to any of said infiltrators? No that wouldn't usually stop our recruitment."
Pulling a spike from a nearby wall, Voidus throws it towards the area the voice came from, reopening the tear in space so that it can flow through to the speaker.
"Also you may want to use that unless you want to live the rest of your life growing new heads that plot to murder you every 15 minutes. Anti-dimensional travel wards in the Alleys don't usually leave a pleasant experience for any interlopers."

Voidus throws another spike after the fleeing figure.

"I just mentioned the wardings. Why would you do that to yourself?"

Good thing the way out was by Gravitation, not Transportation, eh?

*waves from high in the sky before soaring away*

[Voidus]

It's the way in that's the problem, people can leave if they want to. Well unless they're in one of the research labs, the denizens in R&D mess with some weird stuff.

[Leyrann]

Ah, my bad, misunderstood that.

In that case I flew in and Elsecalled out (hmm, they need a different term for that, it's not just Elsecallers who can do that...).

[Voidus]

In that case, yes flushing out TUBA did pretty much achieve its purpose. And hey if they want to distribute 'spike free' cookies they are welcome to do so.
*evil emperor laugh*

[Leyrann]

Oh, we're going to do much more than that. We will stand against the evils of the Alleyverse and bring along a better world.

*flies away* (literally)

[Voidus]

Evils? I am profoundly offended. We're at worst a chaotic neutral organization. Assuming someone is evil just because their soul is full of other stapled together souls is spikist!
I mean the last cookie I gave out granted a newcomer the ability to magnetize lamps! How is that anything but a benevolent act?

You are truly a philanthropist spreading only joy to the forum with every cookie you give out.

I usually don't take a position as an official leader for the Alleys or enforce any hard rules, but I will put my foot down on this. No. Clown. Makeup.
Tearing the soul from an unwilling participant is one thing but clowns are an abomination against nature.

That is very true. My last spike was loyalty to the DA. That is one of the best.

The problem with that would be the fact that you'd have to use a spike on someone loyal to the DA to create it.

We think it heals. The person was locked in a closet until they liked us again, and we have enough loyalty in some of us to make spikes, and have some left over.

I never did say you were the evil of the Alleyverse we will stand up against, but if you feel like I was addressing you, there is probably a reason for that.

A trivial problem before the might of our science.
Step one: Adopt a small animal.
Step two: Forcibly accelerate that animals feelings of loyalty to you using emotional allomancy and other techniques.
Step three: Clone said animal and repeat step 2 a lot of times
Step four: Spike loyalty out

That thus far the entire purpose of TUBA has been to try to undermine the DA? Several of its members explicitly claiming we're evil? I think that reason is relatively compelling. Although that doesn't mean I find the idea any less foolhardy.

So you are just making assumptions.

What? Did you think the entire TUBA consisted of clones of one another? We're not controlled by an outside force you know, we are seperate people with seperate ideas.

That's an inference not an assumption. I am completely certain that the purpose thus far has been to undermine the DA, I infer what that means about their future goals.
Individuals who form an organization. And it is the organizations views that I spoke of, an individual may disagree with the views of their organization though it does make me wonder why you'd insist on maintaining membership if you don't agree.

You're just too focused on your own organisation to see that TUBA has been created for more than just undermining the DA. We strive to be an alternative, and to be a trustworthy organisation where we can share all we want to.

Yes, we had to undermine the DA before we could reveal ourselves, but that was before the DA simply dominated the Alleyverse. That is why we have come out in the open now that the playground is even, and we will no longer deal in the shadows.

Let it be clear, our goal is not to undermine or destroy the DA. Our goal is to make the DA redundant by being a better alternative.

I'm not the one who created the first post for it that explicitly calls out defeating the DA as one of its goals.
Even? Sure if you want to think so. It will make it much easier in the end.

Why not switch step two and step three around?
