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.

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.

And an A+ to you as well.

See, there's the punchline. The little glint of humor, the turn after the pledge. Gotham's not ready for a taste of this magic trick's prestige, you know. Two of me?

[ He's still staring, though. Even the clothes are perfect. He was impressed, though he'd never admit it. ]

The opportunities for surprises are pleasing enough, but you should know how I feel about dancing, hmm?

Gotham is always ready, can't you see it in the way the citizens flinch at the very mention of Otto Griebling or other used-to-be revered clowns? They're ready for more.

[He leans forward, expecting the other to do the same, almost wanting him to play the mirror game. Hoping it, at least.]

Oh, I never said we'd dance, no. Got two very left feet and all, but there is something just darling about watching a bunch of people without rhythm attempt to sway about without looking like dogs in the back of a van.

[laughingalltheway]

[ Oh, he'll play that game. He's leaning forward just the same. ]

My my, and if we want them to look like dogs in the back of a van? There are a few, ah, tricks we could use.

[Oh, goodie! He licks at his lip, just a flicker of motion as he raises a hand to point emphatically at himself.]

We could make it a veritable fun-house full of shifting floors and fake walls. Yes, I do like the way you think.

[laughingalltheway]

[ This mirror game is all sorts of entertaining, and he matches himself just fine, right down to the finger pointing. ]

Oh, how spectacular, how stupendous that would be, you know. Oh, see, just imagine, just think of how those, ah, do-gooders and justice-seekers would do, hmm? Rolling around, losing eachother, shooting eachother, screaming, shouting, fearing. Hah!
