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.

[Or he could actually not land, as Maki levitates all three of them out of the range of lashing limbs.]

[foolmetwice]

[this also works, and he gives Maki a somewhat bewildered and grateful look. also: still trying to charm the Shadow]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Fuck off, bad-at-giving-out-info!Boss.

Intensity is going to shove him at the mirror!Joker!monster]

Oh come now.

Don't you want to play, too?

[criminaljustice]

[except he's definitely going to be catching hold of Intensity's coat]

No, no, no. By all means. You guys have all the fun.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Guess that means you're levitating with me.

Sucker.]

Ah, I see.

You're the part of Joker that's all talk, no action.

How dreadful.

[criminaljustice]

Wrong.

I'm the Joker you've always been nervous about me being.

[and now he's going to punch you because fuck you for trying to feed him to a snake???]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Welp.

At least you punched him instead of doing it by proxy.

THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT.

Laughing, as he holds his bruised face.]

I'm not afraid of you becoming anything, Boss. This is the Joker you're afraid of becoming. Not me.

[criminaljustice]

Did I say anything about fear? Idiot.

[anyway, bye.

he's gonna try for letting go and dropping down to the ground to get the fuck out of the way of this shit.

if only he has a shank... he might not have tried for running.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Semantics.

[And nope nope nope.

You get front row seats to this shit show. Since someHOW this is your fault. It has to be.

So when Shadow!Joker tries to run, Intensity tackles him.

As best as he can in zero gravity anyway]

[criminaljustice]

[gdit, you asshole! is this Joker's opinion in the matter as he gets tackled.

he's immediately going to shove a hand into Intensity's face, though.]

Don't you already have enough on your hands?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughs as he tightens his grip, his words probably coming out muffled:]

Oh I always have enough time for you, Boss.

That never changes.

[criminaljustice]

Gosh, I'm blushing.

[twisting around to see if he can't shove a foot somewhere unpleasant]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He probably can.

Asshole.

Which is going to give Shadow!Joker enough leverage to break free of Intensity's grasp]

[criminaljustice]

[cool!

he's going to be kicking once more for good measure, though, before making a run for it.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oi! Fucking coward!

Don't want to play with your pet demon if he's not in chains?

Typical!

[criminaljustice]

[flips him off!]

Shows how much you know about the dynamic between us!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't know and don't care.

[But I guess the rest of team Fix-It (or maybe Wreck-It is more appropriate) is using the guillotines, so bye-bye Shadow!Joker.

As long as you're not fucking interfering]
