Not pleased.

[halfassed]

I don't do well close up. You know that. There's no range in a place like that.

The rest of it doesn't bother me.

[laughingalltheway]

Oh, you never know, you should consider help from all walks of life shouldn't you?

[halfassed]

And what's your walk? Hanging with the insane asylum crowd?

[Striking out. He's too scared to talk about Loki.]

[laughingalltheway]

I'm a jack of all trades; an entrepreneur sort, you see. I watch things happen from afar, or I sit up close where my hands can get dirty.

Oh, and, you'd find that the insane asylum folks aren't so bad.

[halfassed]

In my experience, they're pretty bad.

[laughingalltheway]

A shame you've met the ones that give the others a bad name, then. A shame, truly.

[halfassed]

Where'd you get the scars?

[laughingalltheway]

These scars, see, from a former boss of mine; he killed aliens, see; and I killed him. What a horrid twist of fate, hm?

End of story.

[halfassed]

[ Roll of his eyes. ]

At least everything I said was true.

[ Not the whole truth, but they both know that, don't they? ]

Somehow this got buried; up to you if you'd like to continue tagging.

[laughingalltheway]

[ And a shrug from the Joker. ]

Oh, you know, it's so much more fun when I can just snip a little something more fun in, don't you think? Tales are meant to be fun, to be entertaining.
