STEAL MY HEART

[criminaljustice]

There are a number of cells in a circle around the walls with a set of heavy metal doors interrupting them for one interval. These doors currently cannot be passed. Not all of the cells are full, either. Some are empty and dark--missing something? Or perhaps something else is needed to see what's inside--or perhaps just approaching the cells will do the trick. There are loud speakers hanging down from above. From them, there are chains attached and pulled downwards where they meet up and join forces with links of chains from the ground and walls to keep a battered and bloodied Arsene locked in place. Or more accurately, restricted in movement--only enough slack in the links to allow him to get as far as the cells' doorways.

Next to him is the unbound Joker--or it looks like Joker, anyway. Save for the golden eyes. He also seems unbothered by the three blue guillotines standing tall nearby. In fact, he seems to be puzzling over something while staring at them, but then as you move, he turns toward you… and smiles, looking happy to see you.

Oh.

Were you trying to seduce me?

[criminaljustice]

I was trying to be gentle about it.

[foolishjourney]

You'll at least have to take me out to dinner first.

[criminaljustice]

[LONG SUFFERING SIGH.]

Can't I at least get a farewell kiss while you dig around in other places?

[foolishjourney]

[hesitates... he'd kissed Joker once before, and it was very nice -- theoretically, he wouldn't mind kissing him again. BUT, he was kiss friends with Mars, and while it was supposed to be no strings attached, just kissing, no complications, he still felt like it'd be wrong of him to kiss someone else, even if it was in some sort of weird dream-heart-place-thing. also, given the memory he just witnessed...

he shakes his head.]

Sorry.

[criminaljustice]

[clearly... a conflicted expression, but then it just smooths into neutral territory as he pulls back and shrugs.]

It's fine.

[foolishjourney]

[hmmmmm don't like that divided look on his face followed by the way he turns so flat. it kind of makes him feel like he hurt his feelings, and he doesn't want to do that, but he also can't change his mind right now.

so, he reaches out to gently pat Joker's head.]

I'm sure there's plenty of people that would be available to kiss you.

[criminaljustice]

[catches Lily's hand to prevent that, actually.]

Maybe. You should try a different room if you're not interested, though.

[foolishjourney]

Okay.

I'll be back if I find that key, though.

[gives him a peace sign as he heads to leave]

[criminaljustice]

[NOSY!

but letting him go.]

[foolishjourney]

[look. this is a game. and he has no idea what the fuck is going on. so he's just going for the first available objective, which probably has something important to steal.

ok [ariana grande voice] thank you next]
