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.))

... 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.

[arlecchinorotto]

Pep?

[She laughs.]

Oh Eddie, you're so funny.

[unriddle]

I've never considered myself much of a joker.

[ PUN FULLY INTENDED ]

But this is certainly one of the most fascinating aspects of this roleplaying business - alternates, and whatnot.

[arlecchinorotto]

[Oh. She knows.]

It's not every day you get to talk to yourself.

Actually no, I take that back. I used to have patients who talked to themselves all the time.

[unriddle]

True, but I doubt it was anything quite like this.

[arlecchinorotto]

Maybe. Who knows what's going on in their heads.

[unriddle]

That was your job to figure out, wasn't it?

[arlecchinorotto]

Damn good at it, too.

Not that my colleagues would have ever said so.

[She spits the word out like it's filthy.]

[unriddle]

Sounds like some trouble in paradise. Care to indulge?

[arlecchinorotto]

Oh no, that was back at Arkham. All over now.

[unriddle]

Probably for the best, anyway. Has anyone ever actually been rehabilitated from their efforts?

[arlecchinorotto]

Silly Eddie. Arkham's not for rehabilitation. Arkham's where they send you when they want to study you. You should know that.

[unriddle]

I suppose I may be out of the loop. I haven't been there in a while, you see.

[arlecchinorotto]

Good for you.

[She doesn't mean it.]

They say they mean well but it's all just a game.

[unriddle]

[ He's wounded, really ]

Something in Gotham City that can't be taken at face value? Now that's just absurd.

[arlecchinorotto]

Isn't it just.
