Hrm...

You want to send me into outer space, in a confined space with a bunch of other people because you happened to come across a persuasive "god" of chaos?

OK, the chaos thing I like, but everything else is questionable. I mean, I won't even have my favorite knife on me - there's a line that should never be crossed and you're toeing it. My ability to improvise can only be relied on so much.







Nah, scratch all of that. This is going to be a hoot and a half if only because I'll get to be creative.

Eight months later, it's still flying somehow.

There's a theory the ship repairs itself. [ There isn't ]

We should test that.

[like_a_leper]

Theories are meant to be tested after all, aren't they? [EVEN BETTER.]

You clearly aren't trying hard enough if it's still running.

[snaketrap]

Tut. All things in time.
Do enjoy my details.

[unfiltrating]

[ hahahahahaha oh fuck oh fuck oh fuCK ]

I don't know, this place is kinda small. You'd probably hate it.

Better not.

[like_a_leper]

[Oh HO, what have we here? >:3]

Don't be ridiculous, small spaces are great. Like graves and mausoleums... and elevators!

Don't tell me that I'm unwelcome.

[laughingalltheway]

Now... I'm all for jokes, but I'm not seeing the punchline. Another me? They certainly made you, ah, convincing.

[ He pauses, staring long and hard for a few moments. ]

So you'll want a sendoff, hmm? A grand sort of celebration? Gotham's got no room for two, see, so have a blast in that space ship of yours. Let's just hope it doesn't explode on the way up, hah.

A+

You should know that not all jokes are funny, bub.

[Well, the staring is mutual because even by his standards, this is strange. Not wholly unsurprising, but strange none the less.]

A gala would be nice, wouldn't it? A masquerade ball full of surprises and special guests - perhaps even a few fireworks. You won't be invited, though. I'm not overly fond of imitations, however good looking.

Late, but I didn't want to miss out!

[hesmypuddin]

[Harley is frowning a touch, looking just a teeeeeeeensy bit confused as she studies the man before her.]

Well, ya could have yer favorite knife, bubs... all depends on when yer handler brings ya from, ya know? We all get lockers full'a our stuff... I'll have my mallet an' a pop gun... rubber chicken too, I think. Everythin' a gal could hope for... [She smiles winningly.]

I can steal anythin' else I need an' figure it ain't gonna be too hard ta find a knife, right? Big ole space ship like that's gotta have some weapons stored on it with a lot more firepower, too... an' let's not forget household chemicals. Ain't as good as Joker Gas, but, eh... [She shrugs.] What can ya do?

Not late at all!

[like_a_leper]

You see, I know I'll be taken straight from Arkham, where they undoubtedly will have confiscated all of my weapons. Not that I got my potato peeler back from the GCPD. [He frowns as best as his scars allow him to, because he loved that peeler. He loses a lot of knives, it seems.]

But you're right - there has to be things aboard the ship to utilize as weapons. Never the less potential explosives or, well, space lasers? Are space ships armed? I should have payed more attention to NASA announcements.

[This woman is intriguing and he feels as if he should know her, but. He can't even remember his own (given) name on a daily basis, so he lets it go.]

Tell me more about this Joker gas.

[heltersskelter]

Hey you might get your knife.

[like_a_leper]

Unlikely. [Each syllable is dragged out almost morosely.] The piggies at the GCPD still have most of my knives, and Arkham took the rest.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

A girl thinks the ship is creative on its own.

He's just going to be amused by the third person.

[like_a_leper]

Hrm, well, does this girl think that the ship is vindictive?

[entrapments]

If your makeup shows up in the locker I'm gonna feel totally cheated.

[like_a_leper]

I could live without it, but people tend to, ah, react better when I have my face on.

late but s c r e a m hello please stay always

[notmydiagnosis]

You should join in, Mr. Joker. Since we've yet to meet properly. [ Because he's heard--oh yes, he's heard, and seen through the news reports in Arkham Asylum. ]

AJSDFNSJDFNSEF AHHH. Ahh. OK. I will. <3

[like_a_leper]

Mister? No, I'm not my father. [Well, what do we have here? He heard about the whole fiasco with the water and drug situation a couple years back - it was partially what drew him to Gotham, beside the Bat. But this guy? He didn't know his name.] You're at an unfair advantage, aren't you? You know who I am and I am just... left in the dust.

Totally late, but WHO CARES, NICELY DRESSED INSANITY-BROS~!

[mad_for_hats]

I'm sure a fellow as artistically inclined as yourself will have no difficulties expressing your unique brand of creativity, with or without your pocket-blade.

[Is Jervis being facetious, or sincere? The world may never know.]

NEVER LATE. Oh my goodness <3

[like_a_leper]

[Either way, Joker was going to take it as a compliment.]

Oh, I'll find something to sate my needs with, for sure, but there's always a favorite toy, isn't there?

/dusts off muse

[kingofrooks]

Don't come back.

/flails

[like_a_leper]

You don't mean that - you know you want me around.

[justthedriver]

Go find kitchen. Plenty of knives.

[like_a_leper]

I'm a bit of a sentimental bastard - knives are knives are knives, but I want mine.

[peektuttut]

Maybe they'll find an escape pod to jettison you in.

[like_a_leper]

Oh. Another birdy. [BORED. Beware, clowns when bored may become vicious.] With another smart mouth - what does he do to you little boys?
