"Hmmm tough crowd." Dark muttered as silence pervaded the entire room, not a single laughter from his punchline. But despite the poor response he didn't take it to heart, it just meant his comedy had room to improve.
"Ok we'll put a pin in that for now and move on." Dark quickly brought back his grandiose demeanour. "Today marks your first birthday and the day that your training wheels will be removed. As you see standing behind me are your guardians the ones who have taught you and protected you from harm during this past year. Though some of you have never had to rely on the lifeline that they provided each and every one of you have benefited from their teachings thus all of you owe them a debt of gratitude."
