job description: (600/600)Koko flipped the sign on the glass door that separated the entomology wing from the rest of the natural history museum over so that it now read 'Open'. The admittedly rather small, circular room was still and quiet in the morning air, the sunlight wafting over the dozens of display cases harboring different genus of insect. Soon the peace would be disturbed by the schools of little children and their chaperones, screeching and dashing about between the exhibits. The girls would 'eww' and the boys would beg to go back to see the dinosaur bones and her wing would go largely unvisited. Which was fine by Koko because it gave her more of a chance to rest. And boy did she need the rest.
Being the entomology director at the museum wasn't a particularly taxing job, it mostly involved her organizing new exhibits and reviewing the pamphlets and special events that were designed to try and draw a crowd for the least visited wing. 'Breakfast among the butterflies' tended not to fly very well when the butterflies in question were pinned to cases on the wall and staring at you with dead eyespots. Of course less visitors meant cutbacks which meant Koko was less director and more facilitator/cleaning crew/tour guide all in one. But even that wasn't enough to tire out this endlessly exuberant kalon. No, what really wore her out were the long nights.
While the museum might be locked up tight come moonrise and all the employees sent home for the night it was only when her day job finished that Koko truly began work. She liked to start her night of right; with a monologue of self-affirmation in front of the bathroom mirror.
"You are gorgeous Ladybird, just gorgeous. And all those twinkling little jewels and the like would do so much better under your care. Yes, only you truly appreciate the glory of the insect form in whatever medium it might be. Ah the splendor of the monarchs! The grace of the inchworm! The wisdom of the spiders. And oh yes, you cannot forget the ladybird. Such a beautiful creature. Just like you of course. Now come, let's show a little kitty-cat who's boss. Rah rah ladybird! Red and black! Black and red! Come on, let's knock 'em dead!"
And with that speech and her ego bursting at the seams Koko, or rather Ladybird, would swing out of her penthouse window and set out on an insect-hunting quest. Sure insects were a bit of an odd specialization for an aspiring super villain and thief extraordinaire but we all have our eccentricities! And all villains worth their weight in golden tortoise beetles had their little quirks and calling cards. And of course, they all had their rivals.
If you asked Ladybird what she enjoyed more, a clean getaway or a round of fisticuffs with Catman, the answer would always be the latter. For what was a villain without a hero? What was Lex Luthor without Superman? What was the Joker without Batman? What was the Flash without...uh...Captain Cold? the point was Ladybird essentially lived for her battles with Catman. He added an extra layer of challenge to the whole thing, an extra layer of fun. Just having him on the hunt had increased her notoriety levels by 50%! And face it, she wasn't a villain for the cash, she was a villain for the thrills. And the oh-so-edgy kitty just kept dishing that out. Besides, sometimes after fights they'd go out for pizza or something, loser pays. She hadn't paid in a month.
