 Ah, very good mundane. I see you've decided to place your allegiances to the side more appreciative of your voice. It's an amusing devise that you've accomplished here, one I hope will shine light on the darker corners our dear Gotham is so intent on hiding.

There is always power to be found in the citizens' hands, after all.

haha well more power to you then!

[occupygotham]

Most students do fail to emulate their teachers, my good man.

I have heard whispers, but did not wish to make presumptions as we have not been formerly introduced.

[gallowshumorist]

At least Plato was better than Aristotle. Aristotle was an idiot.

I'm the Joker. Here's my card.

[occupygotham]

And here I thought you'd be a man appreciative of spontaneity.

[ he stares at it, a brow raises ]

You are a possessor of droll humor, I see.

[gallowshumorist]

Aristotle was too focused on the mundane. Physical stuff isn't important once you know how to make it go boom.

What can I say, I've got the big joke. You know, life?

[occupygotham]

Though focused on the realms of metaphysics as well. There is a sophistication in having one foot on either side of such arguments.

And the punchline?

[gallowshumorist]

That it's cruel and pointless and badly designed. That insanity is the only sane response to it. That the world was created by some lunatic, if it was created at all.

And, and that the more we try to tame and civilize it the worse it gets. Because civilized people are the worst kind of bastards!

[ a dead beat of silence ]

A nihilist at heart, are you?

[gallowshumorist]

I'm an agent of Chaos.

[occupygotham]

I do not find the terms to be mutually exclusive, my good man.

But now I find myself wondering why Chaos requires an Agent.

[gallowshumorist]

It doesn't, but I need to be one.

[occupygotham]

[dryly: ]

Or else you don't fulfill the purpose of having no purpose? My dear man, I am beginning to suspect you operate in a state of constant contradiction.

[gallowshumorist]

It's not about some grand purpose, I'm no egomaniac. I just like to shake things up, try to get people to think. It's, ah, important, but it doesn't define me.

Nothing does. After all I'm, ah, the Joker in the deck.

[occupygotham]

Shaking things up would qualify as a purpose, would it not? Surely there is a direction by which you would like the citizens of Gotham to contemplate.

[gallowshumorist]

A direction? That wouldn't be chaotic. Anywhere but where they are now is bound to be an improvement.

Or at least something less boring.

[occupygotham]

[ an amused hum ]

They do say idle hands are the devil's playground.
