AU Harley Quinn has been homeless for a very long time.

[arlecchinorotto]

Mun.

Mun, Mun, Munny-Mun-Mun Mun.

Branching out with me now? Taking the big jump from occasional threads on memes with your friends into the big wide world of... all this.

It's okay.

It's okay to be scared.

Nowhere's safe. Not even inside your own head.

That's the least safe place of all.

So.

What now?


((OOC: so yeah this is an AU Harley Quinn, 98% inspired by the Nolan movies. Same basic story: smart young psychiatrist working at Arkham gets assigned to the Joker and things go downhill from there. She's not as bubbly, though.))

Have another AU Harley

[byebye_mistah_j]

Well this is certain bizarre. Meeting my un-costumed self for once.

Why hello :)

[arlecchinorotto]

I've seen what the others run around in.

Just looks uncomfortable.

[byebye_mistah_j]

It was more comfortable than it looked actually. I've given up the suit for quite a while.

Mind if I ask what the state of your universe is before I go on? Especially the state of Joker.

[arlecchinorotto]

[Her tone is light, nonchalant.]

Why, what do you want to hear?

[byebye_mistah_j]

[She smiled coyly at that.]

I want to hear that your universe is the same as mine, though I highly doubt it.

[unriddle]

... well isn't this peculiar.

[arlecchinorotto]

Hi Eddie.

[unriddle]

Harley. You seem... well perhaps tame isn't quite accurate, but relatively speaking.

[arlecchinorotto]

You must've caught me in a good mood.

[unriddle]

Have I? Your pep is lacking.

DID SOMEONE SAY FEAR

[prettyscary]

Are you scared, Miss Quinzel? [BLOOD IN THE WATER...]

AHAHAHHAHAHA oh god

[arlecchinorotto]

[She smiles but there is nothing nice about it.]

Did I say I was, Mr. Crane?

[prettyscary]

It was only a question. No need to get so defensive.

[arlecchinorotto]

Oh excuse me. I apologize. I get a mite touchy around people I hate.

[prettyscary]

Hate? You wound me, Harleen. [look how sad he looks

these are totally real emotions]

i can html

[bodilesswarrior]

[quietly] The world's as safe as you make it, Harleen.

secretly we all know html is for losers

[arlecchinorotto]

And who might you be?

it is indeed

[bodilesswarrior]

[she tilts her head slightly] You don't know. That's interesting.

My name is Barbara. Barbara Gordon.

[arlecchinorotto]

Gordon?

Oh that's adorable.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara beams up at her] Isn't it just?

[her smile doesn't waver] One of these days, I'm going to shoot the Joker in the face.

The things I do for you.

[madlikegravity]

Y'know, I had a home, once. In this---this game. Two games, actually. It's all kind of a blur. Buuuuut bein' homeless ain't so bad, kiddo. In fact...

[A smack of his lips.]

I think I like it better that way.

:)

[arlecchinorotto]

[She shrugs.]

I didn't say it was bad. She's just scared.

[madlikegravity]

Scared? Of you?

[A cluck of laughter. That's funny.]

[arlecchinorotto]

Of throwing me out in to the big wide world where anybody can talk to me.

[madlikegravity]

Boo. Hoo. [He traces the trail of a tear down his cheek, smearing his makeup in the process with a long, black smudge.]

She's got a point, y'know. [He clicks his tongue.] It's a big, scary world out there, isn't it? Full of strangers and creeps and---and lunatics. Know what I say to all that?

[Oh hey, that's a switchblade in his hand.]

Make 'em laugh.
