shut up bruce. i do what i want

[whatidodefines]

Well, look who remembered I exist? I was beginning to wonder.

And while your attention is flattering, I don't think I need it nearly as much as you think. Really, Gotham is where I belong and where I'm needed.

What would Alfred do without me?

That's... one way to put it. Technically there are some parties, but... the attendees don't tend to be the sort I'd normally socialize with.

[His whole situation is basically a prolonged study in him losing his mind. There's so much and he can do so little.]

[whatidodefines]

[:|yup. Definitely glad he isn't going to a game. fuuuck that shit.]

At least you have some help. Even if it isn't Alfred. [....] Not that I think Alfred being there would help matters much.

[He'd be the most overbearing bodyguard ever.]

[battroll]

Don't even mention Alfred being here. Alfred's capable of taking care of himself, but he's one of the last people I'd want to have to, somewhere like this.

[whatidodefines]

We'll just have to hope he remembers to dust the cave before we get back.

[Stop it bruce. Alfred will murder you.]

At the very least, I've heard that none of Gotham's less savory citizens are there. One less thing to worry about.

[Bruce actually raises an eyebrow at him...self...? at Bruce because really Bruce.]

Well, there's Harley. Luckily her boyfriend hasn't shown up to join the party.

[whatidodefines]

[.....]

Harley?

[He hasn't met one yet.....]

And who would her boyfriend be?

[oh bruce....]

[battroll]

[WELL this must be an early him. Or one from an odd universe. But Bruce explains with no further fuss because Bruce.]

Doctor Harleen Quinzel. She was the Joker's psychiatrist before he twisted her. She's his accomplice now - she's tried to break free a few times, but every time something ends up stopping her.

Great. I knew he had a few... "followers", but nothing to that extent. [He'll have to make a note to keep track of anyone who decides to put in an application to Arkham.] I take it she's not as bad as the clown?

[Granted it's hard to beat Joker.]

[battroll]

She follows his lead - away from that lead, she's not usually too much trouble. If she's left alone with Poison Ivy, the two of them can get up to mischief, but it's usually not on the same scale. Ivy's usually more into ecoterrorism. It's bad enough in its own way, but I think I'd take her over Joker. She, at least, has motives reasoning that can be followed, even if it's not always logical.

Glad to know that they decide to upgrade from psychological terrorism to biological. [The last thing he wants to worry about in Gotham tbh.] But I'll take your word that she's better than the Joker. He's not an easy act to follow.

[The most horrifying thought being that some had and will try.]

[battroll]

What makes Joker hardest is that he's unpredictable. Sometimes his motives can be reasoned out, but not always. At least most of the others have a clear goal.

[There's an entire city-wide gang that eventually ends up modelling themselves after the Joker in his world, but that doesn't happen for a while.]

[A soft sigh, but then a smallest of grins.]

As a wise man once said, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

[CAN U GUESS WHO THAT WAS BRUCE.]
