[It's dark, the only hint of light being pale light seeping through a crack or a distant window. The area seems to be a place in the poorer districts where power has yet to be restored. Or, perhaps, it's a place that never had power.

The hunched shape in the darkness shifts and lifts its head towards the light, showing the outline of Joker's features. It's all very dramatic. And, yes, he's staged it this way.

In the darkness, he smiles, his teeth glimmering in the light.]

Well that was a fine few days, I think. Blizzard, burglary, robots going nutso in the mall.

[He lifts a hand, jostling a scarf around his neck.]

Tragic, that, but look at the bright side! Maybe next time it will take out the pretzel booth. Those things are empty calories, folks, think of your arteries!

[He pauses and turns his head back towards the shadows thoughtfully.]

Thankee kindly to Uzushio for sheltering a poor, homeless old clown. I do apologize for that smattering of gore but the fellow was being very rude, not wanting me in there. And you know what they say, any port in a storm.

Of course none of that woulda been necessary if some inconsiderate buffoon hadn't gone and shredded my tires, stranding me in the middle of FREAKING NOWHERE.

[He shouts]

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

You're a doctor, Doc Dee. The human body shouldn't repulse you.

Re: [voice]

[gaveherwings]

It doesn't, generally.

[ace_of_knaves]

But the thought of mine does? Ouch! And here I wanted you to be my physician.

Re: [voice]

[gaveherwings]

You can find a doctor that you haven't drugged in an alleyway and buried alive, perhaps, if there are any left in the city.

Oh, please, I don't go around tormenting doctors, I have better things to do.

I wanted you because you seem like an upstanding chap. The other guys wouldn't hesitate to do me in while I was under the knife.

Like automobile chases through a blizzard.

I'm touched. I'm also not liscenced for surgery, here.

I was just trying to get across town. You know. To shelter. So I killed a few people. Not my fault. The roads were dangerous.

Re: [voice]

[gaveherwings]

I don't find that comical. Not even the part where you were run aground.

[voice]

[ace_of_knaves]

You really have no sense of humor. I worry about that.

Re: [voice]

[gaveherwings]

There's no need. I just don't care for clowns.

Racist little weed.
