Dark Knight Rises virals. No spoilers. Yep.

[gothamscop]

I'd just like to point out that just because you did this for District Attorney Dent doesn't mean that you need to attempt this for me. That actually had a point, and my story well doesn't. I'm not even in the comic books. You have nothing.

I'm disappointed. TV [he draws quotation marks in the air with his fingers before leaning back, putting his hands back in his pockets.] "spots", and a few apparently not private details from my jacket do not make you capable of understanding me at all. [How did that get out. How did all of you read it. Seriously.].

I mean, you were in a police academy you of all people should know that any thing I say could very well be termed libel. Or even slander. you really can't wait ten days?

[His writer attempts to explain. Words are used. Words like "San Diego Comic Con" and "Stuff always happens." Also "I do what I want" and "Yolo." he can only hold up a hand and wait for her to stop babbling.]

I'm going to stop you right there. If you use Yolo and I do what I want as an excuse then we can just part ways now. I refuse to offer you any sort of...of handholding when the inevitable name dropping and chastising by anonymous occurs.

You're okay with that? Really? And you'll wait ten days instead of attempting anything? Good

And no. Attending a comic book convention does not count as a religious observance, holiday, or reason for anything strange and unusual. [How did he get into this. Seriously. :/ these writers.]

[John is snickering at your pain.]

[gothamscop]

[Have a very dark look] ...It's illegal.

[searchingforher]

Lots of things are illegal. They still happen every day.

[gothamscop]

It's in poor taste.

[his eyes narrow] and yes, I know that happens every day too.

[searchingforher]

[Grin.] You're starting to catch on.

[gothamscop]

I'm a fast learner.

[searchingforher]

Patrol cop, then? [Offering a hand to shake.] John Amsterdam. Homicide. Detective.

[gothamscop]

John Blake. You GPD? [He extends his hand all serious.]

[searchingforher]

For the sake of simplicity, let's say yes. [Gotham is basically New York, after all.]

[laughingalltheway]

Hah. You'll scream all the same; that's the fun of it.

[gothamscop]

[He doesn't have any words for that. His gun's just out of it's holster and pointing. all gothamites kind of have a knee-jerk reaction to you man. Sorry.]

I'm not really much of a screamer my first time. Sorry.

[laughingalltheway]

[ It's a good reaction, really; considering that it's the common reaction, he's not at all surprised. ]

Oh, see, no need to apologize, oh no. But how do you know, hmmm? How can you be so sure when you haven't sat down to savor the ride? I have a few, ah, parlor tricks you'd wake the neighbors with. Hee hee hee.

[gothamscop]

[there's a distinct click. safety's off.] Yeah I caught your earlier act. I think I'll pass.

...Enjoying yourself here? [Good god you should be locked up. You should. WHY AREN'T YOU. D: you have to be right right.]

[laughingalltheway]

Oh now now, no need to take that so seriously. You mean to tell me you didn't have fun? You're not having fun now?

[ He feigns a frown, distorting the red smile upon his face. He's not in jail because, well, he doesn't like jail. Why would he ever be there? He just got done wiring up some explosives, he's been a busy man. ]

There's so much humor all around, you see.

[gothamscop]

[What is this madness. :/ Augh. He remembers when gotham was...well it was always kind of awful but batman and the fear gas attacks and everything. Made it worse. Made it crazy. But also better. John's thought processes might show on his face as he takes a step back.]

...I guess I don't have much of a sense of it. [Awkward. His jacket mentioned how he has trouble getting along with others.] I'm not a particularly social guy.

[laughingalltheway]

[ The Joker grins wide, stepping forward to match the step that John took away from him. There's something perfect about this meeting. ]

Oh, oh, that's fine, see. You'll love what you're about to see, I have no doubts. Just look around, look around.

[ He motions to the nearest building with one hand as he pulls out a detonator with his other. ]

I have another blast of a joke for Gotham.

[gothamscop]

[And that fast he's all cop.] Drop it! Drop it now or I'll shoot!

[laughingalltheway]

[ As usual, such a predictable response. Much like all the other cops in Gotham, he had a very specific set of reactions; especially to the Joker. The fun of it was the clown-faced goon sneaking up behind John. ]

Oh? Drop this? That'd end our fun so very fast; oh no, tsk, I can't do that.

[gothamscop]

[John is so oblivious. He'll sense him a fraction of a second before he strikes. Long enough to be held securely. The difference is that if he doesn't drop it he'll raise the gun and fire a warning shot-into the air.

He's brash enough to try it.]

Drop it!

[laughingalltheway]

[ Thankfully, the goon's a bright one and he goes in for a physical hold. He's not out to kill you, John, just to hold you steady for the show. That gun, by the way? That's an issue, you'll be aiming that towards the sky, now.

Oh, and, the detonator? He's pressing that button right about... now. ]

Bang, bang.

[ ...and just like that, the windows explode out from the nearest building. Screams of pain and terror quickly replace the sounds of the explosions, all while the Joker laughs... and laughs... What a perfect show. ]

[gothamscop]

[Good luck trying to hold him goon. The moment that detonator goes off he'll be giving his all to fight you.]

No!

[All the failure. He deflates] No!

[laughingalltheway]

[ That goon's easily disposed of, he wasn't really "combat ready" when he joined up with the Joker and he's certainly not an enemy with more than 1 HP. John'll find that he crumples to the ground easily enough. ]

What a show, what a show...!

[ The Joker, wasting no time, is rushing at John. That gun is in the way, and there's no way he's about to allow the weapon to stay in play. The only one with the power in this situation was going to be him and him alone. But the fun was only just beginning. ]

It's all so funny!

[maskedbreathing]

Anyone who uses "yolo" as an excuse ought to throw themselves out a window.

[gothamscop]

Writer or no writer, I have to agree.

[maskedbreathing]

Actually, anyone using yolo at all should.

[gothamscop]

[A hapless shrug]

...she works with kids.

[maskedbreathing]

This is getting worse and worse. Next you're gonna say she deals drugs at homeless shelters or loves babies.

[rattlethecages]

This sounds familiar.

[Nolan OCs unite]

[gothamscop]

[Nolan OCs unite indeed.] Do all of them like jumping the gun like this?

[rattlethecages]

I've seen a few cases. I don't know what it is about these muns. A lot of them don't seem to do well with patience.

[gothamscop]

...Ends up with information that they shouldn't have, drags people through pain and suffering...

[rattlethecages]

Quite the sadists. I catch myself wondering at times what kind of people are dealing with us here.

[gothamscop]

My writer says they had "a huge thing" for the joker.

[That in and of itself is enough to convince him all of this is a bad idea.]

1/2

[rattlethecages]

[Just this face. Give her a minute.]

2/2

[rattlethecages]

A thing<\i>...?

[inmateincharge]

You weren't in the comics? Well, this begs to differ! Bahahahahaha!!

[gothamscop]

[He just stares. and stares.]

there's eight John Blakes in Gotham.

[He's lying through his teeth.]

[inmateincharge]

Well, I've never bothered to keep count. Still, it's a funny coinky-dink, don't ya think?
