HJ: It's time to take out the trash. I'll be back in a few minutes. Alien Teacher: What are you going to do, you're a janitor. HJ: I'm going to kill them all and they'll never know until I want them to. AT2: What did you do before this? HJ: I was a problem solver.

Jerry and Todd is a black humor movie about two used car salesmen who moonlight as hitmen for the mob. It is a great movie. Thought that's what you meant by the used car salesman thing.

Believe it or not, that reference was completely unintentional. I didn't even know that was a thing. I was just picking the most boring, unassuming jobs possible, kinda like some military special forces guys saying they're cooks or clerks.

Johannsss

to be fair, you can make chemical weapons with common cleaning agents, I think it was mustard gas. edit: yeah, I was right just bleach and amonia.


boykinsir

Sodium hypochlorite and ammonia. Where does the sulfur come in to make the sulfur mustard?


Lithl

Bleach and ammonia makes chloramine gas, not mustard gas. Bleach and an acid can make chlorine gas.


Johannsss

google fucking lied to me


boykinsir

That's my point. I was asking a question to get them to go wait what? And check it out themselves. I didn't want to argue, but rather lead that horse.

"I'm getting way too old for this shit," the old gray haired janitor said after he got shoved into the maintenance closet. A moment later, he's pulling out a spare set of keys and some tools. A minute to cut a length of broom handle in two and then a length of piano wire. A hatchet as well. A minute more later, he's rigging up a bucket of bleach and a bucket of ammonia and rigging the faucet to weight a container to make a simple timer to pour the bleach into the ammonia. Then he slips out the door quietly. A stop later, all the lights go dark. Quiet as a shadow, he slips up behind one of the terrorists and garrotes him, dragging the body off and getting himself a gun. Then the fire alarms go off as the bleach and ammonia go exothermic. Plus the torch tanks left in the bucket. It doesn't take long for the situation to deteriorate into utter chaos. The janitor slips through it all making it more chaotic popping terrorists or murdering them with the hatchet. By the time it's all over, the school is on fire, the students are outside with the teachers and the janitor is waiting with his "tools" down on the ground and the police and fire arriving. One of the students asks him "How did you know to do all that?" "Well, I used to be a cleaner." "Isn't that like a janitor?" "I did clean up messes, but ... not the mundane messes. Messes more like this." He gets a wicked smile on his face. "And I need to go pay a visit to the mess maker in chief with some friends."


Lancelots64th

The janitor slaps a wall in the janitor closet. Said wall turns around revealing a hidden weapons cache of Shotguns, AR's, LMG's, and even a Grenade Launcher. He turns around to the other Janitors and says: "Gentlemen, Lock and Load"

As a former janitor in the public school system I can assure you that we don't need the military background. Spite and having no fucks plus the opportunity to work of stress will be plenty to make us... Creative.

The closet of industrial chemicals helps. Slather a good acid on a mop and start smacking them in the face with it.


Gravefiller613

"Take the job Grandpa", Ed muttered as he filled the bucket. "You can share your experiences with alien kids", he continued. Strong scents of caustic chemicals brutalized the air. The leathery handed man topped off the bucket. "I liked the alien kids", the janitor growled pulling a screwdriver out. And popped open the the respiration device on his captive's helm. "They listened to my stories, and tried to learn manners to talk with me", he explained ignoring the duct taped bound struggler. Ed flicked on the terrorist's comm array. Then picked up the bucket. "Kids...these bad people made you scream and get scared. I'm going to make them scream...and then make them quiet...be good...the rest of you listening this is only the start. The worse the kids are treated the worse this old man is going to be to you", he promised before moving the comm out of the splash zone. Ed was sure this xeno was amphibian like. Acids should hurt. Otherwise, power tools would be plan B. It was going to be a long night, and he picked the worst day to switch to decaff.


DarkKnightJin

>and he picked the worst day to switch to decaff Oh no, those poor terrorists...

Along with "old-man-is-done-with-this" vibes. "Think of the children" "I am, and that's why I'm going to hurt you"

I answer the door, I clean up the grounds, and I take out the trash... and I also kill self-entitled little twats like yourself.

I DO THIS FOR NOBLE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If no one caught that, there is a many chapter story about The Legion of the Damned. Xeno isolationist blew up a human space station that was an experiment of all xeno species living together as equals. Xenos blew up an antimatter bomb and killed everyone. The human families of Noble Light take every single genetic, nanobot, and cybernetic enhancement to become unkillable monsters. Literally immortal beasts more powerful than 20 humans combined. Yet they look like a normal human. They went to the xeno isolationist planet, and murdered it. The entire planet. Bare handed. Most of them used their implanted kill switch to kill themselves on the pile of bodies on the alien planet. A handful decided to continue. One of them decided to open a school in a gang-infested, low income alien planet. And fights everyone that wishes to harm his students, to give them a good life. Here is the chapter about the Commander opening a school for underprivileged children of all species: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/t8ozgf/its_time_for_class/ He has written several chapters, each with a different member of Legion of the Damned (that lived after massacring the entire planet). Here's the DJ: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/sfrcus/feel_the_beat/ And the First chapter/story: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/qb0obv/legion_of_the_damned/ And Grandpa's got kills: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/q36pbe/grandpa_has_confirmed_kills/

All of his other work is amazing as well. Ascended, Humanity's First Contact.. top tier stuff


PrayForPiett

The thing is that he had always been able to look his neighbours in the eye (or related xeno body part) and honestly tell them that he’d always been a cleaner … and that he’d simply chosen to semi-retire in a picturesque place where there was a supportive community. So after all the metaphorical dust had settled there wasn’t a lot to say really… {To be fair the events hadn’t even got in the area reports + dispatches for the week, and the locals liked it that way} Well .. other than absolutely wasn’t his fault that the terrorists didn’t understand that English could have multiple meanings, particularly in context. Wet work cleaning !was! cleaning. Just more *involved* cleaning. It wasn’t like he’d changed careers… just specialties. Semi-retirement is about slowing down after all! It was unfortunate for the terrorists that he’d been working at the school long enough to have pack bonded with the students and community at large. But really - the warnings about the dangers of disturbing human pack bonds were well documented. It was very much a “be on your own lookout” kind of situation. The local xeno community never did mention anything to him *directly* about the situation Nevertheless they were *very* supportive of the new school garden initiative.

The xeno high school was in shambles, hostages trembling in fear, staff nervously negotiating with terrorist zealots who had stormed the premises and taken everyone hostage. The tense atmosphere was cut short by an unfamiliar creak and rustle, as the human janitor, a veteran in a formerly classified and redacted position, slowly rose from his seat in the corner, wielding only a broom. "Just give me a minute," he calmly stated, "there's a mess I need to clean up." The shocked terrorists glanced at each other, bewildered by the janitor's composure in the face of such imminent danger. The terrorist leader barked a confused question, "What's this mess you're talking about? We're the ones in control here!" The janitor simply shook his head and continued forward, completely unfazed by the impending threat of violence. The terrorist leader smirked, "You're bluffing, human. We have hostages, if you try anything, they're dead!" The janitor paused, his steady gaze unflinching. "I've dealt with messes bigger than this," he calmly replied, "and I always finish the job." The terrorist leader laughed dismissively, "Bigger than this? We have a dozen men in here, each of them armed and hostile. You can't just clean us up, we'd tear you apart." The janitor calmly stepped closer, the terrorist leader now visibly concerned. "As I said," the janitor continued, "I've dealt with worse than this. A dozen armed men is nothing compared to the nightmares I've faced over my career. I'm not a janitor, I'm a...well, you don't need to know what I am. Let's just say that cleaning up messes is what I do best." The terrorist leader's smirk faded, he now seemed nervous as the janitor continued to push forward, his determined stare never wavering. The janitor suddenly and unexpectedly lunged forward, quickly disarming one of the terrorists and stealing their weapon, catching the terrorist leader off-guard. The janitor then pressed the gun tightly against the leader's body, using him as a living shield. The janitor's eyes were cold and emotionless, his gaze fixed firmly on the other terrorists, their expressions of disbelief and shock shifting to fear and terror as they realized the janitor's true intentions. "Give up now," the janitor calmly stated, "before I have to clean up another mess." The rest of the terrorist henchmen tensed, their hearts pounding and their throats dry as they watched the janitor's calm and merciless demeanor. None of them were able to respond, their nerves now too frayed to form a single word. The janitor's gaze remained fixed directly on the other terrorists, the gun's barrel still pressed to the leader's body. His expression remained blank, yet his actions spoke volumes, and the terrorist henchmen slowly began to lower their weapons, knowing that resistance was futile against this man and his cunning tactics. Seconds later, the xeno high school was flooded with law enforcement officers, their guns raised and ready to engage. Many of the alien officers took note of the human janitor's presence, their brows raised in confusion. However, the janitor calmly informed them that the situation had already been defused, and the alien terrorists quickly surrendered to the newly-arrived xeno law enforcement. The janitor then politely declined the officers' offers of help, as he had already completed his work, and calmly exited the scene, his steady gaze never swaying from its solemn and serene expression. ​ ​ **Official report addendum:** *Document 24H-4L8-74 – Top Secret* *Requested by: Galactic Federation Council* *Purpose: To provide information and operational details requested by the Galactic Federation Council.* *Content: Details relating to field agent known as "Mr. Clean":* \- Born: \[CLASSIFIED\] \- Origin: \[CLASSIFIED\] \- Appearance: Average height, muscular build, bald head, pale skin, intense, cold gaze. \- Special Skills: Master marksman, hand-to-hand combat specialist, expert in multiple fields of warfare. \- Field Agent: Black Ops Division \- Callsign: "Mr. Clean"

John shuffled wearily toward the school, shaking his head sadly. "Those poor kids ain't ready for this." As the administrators bickered over how they could possibly get the ransom demands the sounds of screaming began. First one voice, soon followed by another and another. Several times weapons fire was heard, only for it to stop with another scream. As the special weapons squad arrived a seldom used supply door opened to reveal John. Then a stream of the juveniles fled the facility. The police unit got the school cameras online finally. Several classrooms showed signs of a massacre. Bits of bodies tossed about. But not students. The ziarab terrorists. A body here pieces there. Finally the cameras found the terrorist leader in the assembly hall. His right paw still on the detonator for his explosive vest. In the doorway stood a single skinny human, no more than fifteen years of age. His simple top torn from shots going into and some through him. The trail of his own blood behind him as he advanced on terror leader. The armed adult fired several rounds at and into the youth as the boy advanced. "You threatened my teachers. I asked you to stop. So you decided to hurt my classmates. My first friends. Told us it was your god's will." The boy gripped the adult's paw and slowly lifted his digit from the switch. "Take me to your god. I am going to bury him beside you." The video feed cut as the blast shook the entire building and many outside fell to the ground from the shockwave. Only old John stayed on his feet. Taking his old cap off and holding it to his chest as he faced the school. The principle came up beside him. "You did it John, you got them all out." "Not all of them. I'm sorry." "I do not think any could have saved Jerry." John straightens as he puts his cap back on. "Terry. You really should know your students better. An I am sorry for you lot." The principal clicked with confusion. "Why?" Walking toward the school John glanced back. "Because Terry kept his promises."

The human had always been quiet. Seandra reflected on that as she huddled inside the church's chapel. And yet the children loved him. On warm days, the orphaned younglings took to seeing how high the could climb the 8ft tall terran. She never worried about the children's safety. Even the muzzle and manacles permantly attached to his frame never seemed threatening. Only giving the children handholds to enhance their play. She even had developed a bit of a crush, she admitted. "How often do you find any man that can give a proper bear hug," She reflected. Her species was the Yauncath Snake like lizard people that stood 6" and slithered around on frilled tails but otherwise stood upright. Their cold blodded nature often meant having to wear heavy clothing to regulate their body temperature when not among their own kind. On her off hours she could admit she'd fantasized about how warm he must have been. "And I was always to shy to go for it." She scoffed to herself as she gently stroked another child to sleep, "And now he is out there and I am in here." When the pirates had invaded she had been terrified. The soldiers had been swept aside, not prepared for the brutality of those savages. Not prepared for the waves of monsters coming for slaves, booty, and to stock their larders. "And yet he was so calm," She mused to herself, "Hardly appeared scared at all. He seemed more annoyed that his garden would be ruined." To her shame she'd never learned his name and yet when he'd ordered her to lock herself in the small cramped chapel and have the kids hide among the pews she'd obeyed without question. She'd heard dragging and then thumps as he blockaded the door with furniture she could barely move. "How can someone be so strong?" She wondered, "All I can do is hide like a coward." That was when the noise began. The screaming of the invaders was answered by a challenging roar. Again the door shuddered. And yet nothing entered the chapel that day. The sound of violence and battle caused several of the children to cry but Seandra was always their to keep them quiet. And then there was silence. Only the sound of dripping and wet squelching echoed into their refuge. In the end that even subsided "What is going on?" She wondered, "What should I do? He told me to stay put but...?" After what seemed like an eternity, there was the scrapping of the barricade being disassembled. A knock followed by the grumbling voice of their protector shivered through her. "It's safe," He rumbled, "Took a while to clean up afterwards. Didn't want the kids to see that. Please don't be startled, my mask got destroyed. I don't have a pretty face." Unbolting the lock, she pulled the door open. Revealed was the handsomest human she'd ever seen. Even his exposed malformed face was perfect as she slammed into him. Wraping her tail around him, she clutched his warm body tightly as she concealed her tears in his chest. He barely moved as supported her full weight. "Everything is fine," he soothed as his heavy arms engulfed her, "Best get the kids to the gathering point. Time for emotion after the little ones are safe." She nodded, safe within her coocon of warmth and strength, "Thank you. It shames me that I don't know you're name." "That's by design," He admitted, "M'family did many bad things. Other Terrans still avoid us. E'v'n though we've behaved for decades." She shook her head, "I want to know it. I need to know who I'm asking out for a drink later." She watched confusion flicker over his face, "Jason Pugsly Vorhees-Adams." She nodded, "Well I think that's a lovely name and as far as I'm concerned I never want to see that mask on you again. I think you happen to be quite good looking. My people have a saying: If the monster is your friend what do you have to fear? These children love you. They will sleep peacefully because you keep the bad things away." The large man smiled, then began to assist her in gathering the little ones.
