Big Things in the works for the_devils_see

[ichoosefight]

You know, it really worries me when you get that glint in your eye. Even more so when it happens in this place. You know I can't do anything about it, why won't you give me at least a little hint?

...How about a hint that doesn't involve talking to a time-traveling, pyromaniac, mythical bird?

Yes I know phoenixes aren't pyromaniacs but seriously, the whole freaking lighthouse was on fire I'm not just going to let that go.



I'm really not going to like how this ends, am I.

You might not like ending the set, but you can at least go out with your biggest laugh.

Just go for it and do whatever you think you should do.

[mother_nature]

Glad I'm not you right now! I detest fire!

[ichoosefight]

...

That is actually not bad advice.

And yet, coming from a clown, I inherently distrust it.

[ichoosefight]

Be glad you're not me every day. The fire was just for a day, but the man-eating monsters live here.

[jokester_not_joker]

[He sighs, he's been getting this a lot.]

This joke is getting old. My name is Jokester. I'm not Joker and I'm not even from your version of Earth.

Where I'm from the sides are swapped and people's histories are very different.

[mother_nature]

Oh, well, that's not so bad.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, no, I totally get that! [ Really, alternate universe stuff, after being on that damned island as long as she has it's all old hat. ] It's just sort of ingrained in my system.

Nice to, uh, meet you, Jokester.

[ichoosefight]

You only say that because you think you wouldn't get ripped to pieces. Trust me, heard it before. Powers don't work much on the island, and when they do they're rarely much help.

[mother_nature]

It's got nothing to do with powers. I'm no longer human. Human blood doesn't flow through my veins anymore. If they're man-eating monsters, they'd have no interest in me.

[ichoosefight]

Well they went after Superman, so I'm pretty sure homo sapiens isn't in the diet requirements. Not to mention the horses. And there was that one Swamp man thingie...

[mother_nature]

OK, OK, never mind then! I have no desire to go there at all now.

[ichoosefight]

Also I'm pretty sure the way this ends is with all of dead. So there's that.

[jokester_not_joker]

Fair enough. I guess it's the same way I start thinking of really horrible joke every time I see one of those Robin kids. He reminds me way too much of Talon when it comes to looks. He really should update his wardrobe.

Nice to meet you too. I'm guessing from the reactions that you're one of the many allies of not-Owlman?

[mother_nature]

Thanks, you've completely disuaded me.

[ichoosefight]

I'm going to just pretend I got that, make a joke about scaley underoos and hope it translates.

I'm not-Owlgirl.

[ichoosefight]

It's a very bad day when someone hopes to come to the Devil's Sea.

[jokester_not_joker]

Owlgirl? Huh he never really brought any girls to the fold I don't think. I guess that is due in part to the fact I only killed once while Joker doesn't have that limitation.

[ichoosefight]

We don't talk about killing the Joker. Ethical arguments aside. [ She refuses to take a side. Family feuds, you know? And she knows the arguments, and she knows what it's like to want someone dead. To really, really want it.

Luckily someone else did that one for her. ]

Batgirl, actually. The third. We're kind of known for doing our own thing.

[jokester_not_joker]

I was more talking about the Joker offing Robins and Batmans. I only killed Owlman once. Didn't really solve anything since little boy Talon took the title.

[He hums at that.]

Well I guess the next Talon has that in common with you. He ran off and I never saw him or my little girl again. I'm assuming they ran away from our world.

[ichoosefight]

He only killed the one. Not for lack of trying, but it was only one. [ It's a little thing, but she thinks it's important. ]

I'm sorry about your daughter. I haven't checked the files lately, but I don't think either of them came through my world.

[jokester_not_joker]

Her name is Duela Dent. I have no clue if Talon would of gone by the same name or the same outfit, but he's a lot like your Robin in appearance.

[ichoosefight]

Wait-- Duela? Duela Dent is your daughter?

I don't know anything about Talon, but Duela was a Teen Titan.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Time travel?

[jokester_not_joker]

Yes she's my and Evelyn Dent's daughter. Evelyn being our world's Twoface or in this case Threeface.

[He paused, looking like a particularly sad clown.]

Was she happy when you saw her last?

[ichoosefight]

Since there's no record of the thing or its big distinctively-not-asian-looking lighthouse after 700 years ago, I can only assume.
