Riddle 005: What is Love? (Joker Will Hurt Me)

[questionauthority]

[Edward Nigma awoke one night and quickly realized that something was amiss. Being in Mayfield, he would have been accustomed to waking up in a strange place with strange clothes that did not belong to him. But waking up in a gaudy hotel room with the girlfriend of one of the most feared psychopaths in Gotham lying next to you? Yeah, this definitely wasn't right.

Trying, but failing, to keep his composure, he tossed the bouquet of roses that he had been holding aside and nudged Harley's arm to rouse her awake. Gently first. Then a bit urgently.]

Harley. Harley!

...I wonder just how many of the others in town are going through this right now. Hopefully, they didn't see fit to fling Pamela in here.

[For both Pamela's sake, and the sake of the man stuck with her.]

.....

[Just this look]

...What if they stuck her with Mr. J?

[He lets out a bark of laughter.]

Wouldn't that be something?

[Is still horrified. Who is she supposed to hope for?]

-they wouldn't be that stupid....

The chances of them ending up together would be pretty slim, I'd say. But even if they did end up in the same room, I'm sure they'd be fine. Pam's always been able to take care of herself and Joker... Well, he's escaped death before.

....Right.

[Just going to take another drink]

Yeah, they probably stuck everyone in places like this. Just like last year.

I'd imagine they've taken the children elsewhere. This is hardly the right kind of environment for them.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

They'd better have.

Maybe they got stuck in a daycare again.

[Edward nods, taking another sip of wine. He chuckles.]

It's almost funny. When I'd heard the call about this place the other day, I almost immediately knew it would be a trap. And I had no intention of coming here. But a part of me almost wanted to end up here. Just to see one of these strange happenings from the inside out.

Eh, I'm just glad there aren't any people in grey suits tryin' ta' kill us here.
