Ah, Halloween! A night where people dress up in garish costumes, wander aimlessly around town, and take things from total strangers! ...Actually, that pretty much sums up every day of my life! Oohoohoohoo...

I could give the people of this fine community a reason to be scared, of course, but between the knife-wielding lunatics, the supernatural horrors, and Calendar Man, going on a killing spree tonight would be a tad uninspired. Don't even know why you'd think I'd do that, munsy.  I'll just sit back and watch - should be fun!

Oh, and I do hope you haven't forgotten about that game you were planning on sending me to. Sure, Batsy isn't there yet, but it gives me an otherwise rare opportunity to see if I really can kill two birds with one stone!  Don't disappoint me like you did last time, munster.  I gave you a second chance because you've got such good taste, but you won't get a third.

Did someone just say "knife-wielding lunatic"? Because now there's one standing right behind you...

[inmateincharge]

[Thankfully, he's sort of got a sixth sense for this type of thing - comes with the territory of dealing with Batman for so long. He turns around and sees...]

Mikey! Gotta say, love your work. Stabbing someone with a shotgun? Hilarious!

[big_blue_boyscout]

I think it's time to go back to the Asylum, Joker.

[inmateincharge]

No, not yet - I haven't even started to have fun!

[big_blue_boyscout]

I can't just let you go free. You're dangerous, Joker. You hurt people, and I can't let you do that. So let's do this the easy way. Just come back peacefully.

[theshape]

Well this is new. Someone besides himself who thinks his killings are funny? And that someone is a clown that reminds him of the costume he wore when he stab his sister to death all those years ago? Micheal simply looks at you as if you were a mirror.

[inmateincharge]

...You don't know me all that well, do you? [A quick squeeze of the rubber bulb under his jacket, and his squirting flower sprays a cloud of Joker Toxin. ...Not that it will do much, but this Joker's only heard rumours about Superman and figures they're wildly exaggerated.] Bahahahahaha!!

[inmateincharge]

...Right, you don't talk. Oh well - wouldn't be the first time I've tried to make conversation with someone giving me the silent treatment. So, found that sister of your's?

[big_blue_boyscout]

Heh. Cute. I've got a party trick or two of my own.

[Little heat vision, and the corsage is now ash!]

See?

[lord_of_terror]

The one day that all mortals pay homage to me.

Threadjack? >.>

[lord_of_terror]

[Hey Supes. You're kinda threatening someone who looks like Diablo's Mona Lisa. He doesn't like that.]

Leave this one, mortal. Tonight, he is under my protection.

[inmateincharge]

Gah! [He quickly pats the area around where the corsage was, to make sure that his suit doesn't catch on fire. It won't, of course, but he's got no way of knowing that.] What did you do? These things don't normally burst into flame - that just isn't funny!

[inmateincharge]

...Well, I'm certainly seeing you a lot sooner than I expected. [He's got no illusions about where he's headed.] So, how's life in hell?

[lord_of_terror]

[Considering the day, the Lord of Terror is in a good mood.]

Cramped. Soon, though, there will be plenty of room for all creation.

I have enjoyed watching you spread terror through the mortal realm. Your contributions will not go unnoticed.

[Why yes, Joker. He's offering you a management place in his very own terror themed Hell.]

Hahaha

[big_blue_boyscout]

[So it's going to be one of those nights ...]

I don't want to fight you, but that's not an option.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Heat Vision. Feel like coming in peacefully now?

[plains_hunter]

I kinda' doubt that. This place negates violence pretty easily, from what I've seen. Trust me, I've tried.

:D

[lord_of_terror]

[He just laughs his horrible laugh.]

You can fight all you wish, but it will not avail you. Not even the whole of the Heavenly Host could stop me. What hope does a single mortal have against Terror incarnate.

This is something I never though I'd see ... and it's glorious!

[big_blue_boyscout]

Because I'm not afraid of you. And I've fought bigger.

:3 I aim to please.

[lord_of_terror]

Even in the halls of Heaven, angels feel fear. You are no different. Everything fears something, simply because I exist. Because all things fear, I will be eternal.

[Diablo's shape stretches and distorts until dissolving into a thick fog.]

I am your fear. [And through the fog, there are several screams and an illusory Lois runs out, horror very much clear on her face before shadowy tendrils drag her back into the fog.]

Well you're doing it

[big_blue_boyscout]

[It's just an illusion ... just an illusion.]

I'm not running.

[soyoudonthaveto]

...You're just dropping me here to fuck with me, aren't you?
[Yep. Happy Halloween, Critic!]

<3

[lord_of_terror]

[Is it? ...Well, it is, but it sure looks real.]

It would do you no good. I am everywhere, and nothing is beyond my reach.

[The fog thins in a couple places depicting what looks like a wall with people inside, desperately trying to claw their way out. And lookie there, your parents are in there. House of Jorel and Kents, side by side in a futile attempt to escape whatever is horrifying them.]

[There is a reason he's called 'The Artist of Terror.']

[inmateincharge]

...You can really do that? [At the very least, it didn't seem like he did anything special - he just stared at the flower until it exploded. After seeing Clayface and Ivy, he's not one to deny the existence of superpowers, but that's not enough to discourage him.]

As much as I'd enjoy a vacation at Arkham, I'll have to pass. I hope you're not disappointed.

[inmateincharge]

Why, thank you! It's so wonderful to have such adoring fans! [Though, to be perfectly honest, he wouldn't have any problems with being tortured for eternity either - it would only serve to give him ideas.] So what sort of reward did you have in mind?
