[ Batman ]
What's your first memory of the Joker?

[When an enemy happens to be the best source of information one might have, life sucks. But she's been wondering about this for a while now and every other question she came up with was too revealing. Here's to hoping he helps.

While she waits, she'll just take a trip up to the roof. Four Quinbits chatter happily as they follow her. The fifth is clutched tightly to her chest and, while it complains once, it doesn't try to escape her grip.]




[OOC: Open to anyone else who might meet her in the halls or likes visiting the roof.]

Eh? Then who did you love? I thought it was the clown. So the clown was just an enemy? Then who was the guy you loved?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

My guy? He died years ago. [There's a pause as if she's wondering whether to say anything else] One of our professors killed him.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Why the fuck would he do that?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Human experimentation. Decided to test out a theory of mine on Guy. Laced his drink with a drug and then stood back.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Tch. Fuckin' humans. They'll do anything for notoriety.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Fucking humans.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

...That wasn't a jibe at you, really. Lemme' rephrase, I KNOW a lotta' humans who'd do anything for notoriety.

[He tightens his belt to make up for his newly reduced waist-line, then slips his clothing back on.]

Don't really know what to tell you. I don't know anything about relationships, but I do know about makin' dangerous enemies.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

You've never been in love?

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Why is that surprising? I'm a pissy bastard, an arrogant prick, I turn into a monster, and I barely trust anyone beyond a superficial level.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

So? Love finds a way. Sounds to me like you're just making up excuses.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

No good ever came to anyone, from tryin' to get close to me. People hurt, maimed, they even die. Bad luck follows me.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

[There's the only slightest inching away and then stubbornness just radiates off her.]

I'll take you up on that.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

I bet I can be your friend and not suffer horribly.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'm still hopin' that it doesn't follow me, here. All my bad luck, for the most part, was on account of humans. They just react to something in me. Like some kinda' primal instinct, I guess.

This place is chock full of non-humans, so it probably won't be as bad.

So were you a normal outlaw, or did you have cool powers of some kind?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Apart from my natural charm and skill, nope. Didn't need 'em.

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Are you tough?

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Why don't you give it a shot? Wallop me.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Right now?

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Right now. Give me the hardest hit you've got.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

This isn't one of those tricks where you're secretly made of steel or something and I'm going to break my hand hitting you, is it?

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

Not if I roll with the punch. My bones are very dense, but it only hurts if I brace myself.

[madandbad.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[Here's to hoping Red's chemicals let her punch a werewolf and live to tell.]

Ow!

[worldweary-wolf.livejournal.com]

If I say my bones are dense, punching me in the head isn't exactly the best course of action. Considering all the bones are right there, at the surface. Should've done a body hit. I can move with the momentum, but it's still gonna' be hard to negate impact when you do that.

[Excuse him while he fixes his broken nose and cleans his bloody face.]

God-DAMN, you hit hard. I've never seen a man punch me like that. I actually felt it. I'm glad I can still heal.
