The flailing and shrieking were rather attention-grabbing, really. Simone's footsteps slowed, then stopped. She peered at the oddly-dressed woman with a mix of bemusement and concern for several seconds before approaching. Not, it must be noted, quite to within arm's reach. She could learn her lesson eventually. "Are you all right?" she asked. It seemed more polite than asking the other woman if she was entirely sane.

Harley glanced up, not standing just yet. "Humph, do I look ok?" She asked bitterly, shifting to sit indian style, elbow on her knee, chin in hand.

"I'm stuck in another world, without my Puddin', and I can't start any trouble without this cuff thing shockin' me!" She complained, half-sulking, half-glaring at the girl- as if, somehow, this was her fault.

Simone's eyebrows rose slightly as she peered down at the other woman. "Considering my usual benchmark for 'okay'?" she replied dryly. "You looked upset. There isn't really a way to say that to a stranger that doesn't sound asinine."

She did at least have the grace to avoid remarking that everyone there had been taken from their world, and in many cases their loved ones as well. True as it might have been, it was also utterly irrelevant. Instead, she just frowned slightly and asked, "Why would you want to start trouble anyway?"

Harley sighed. Somewhere in the back of her mind, the psychiatrist part of her brain was listing off how she was in denial and being selfish; Because she wasn't the only one who'd lost people.

But really, who listened to the sane part of their minds anymore?

"Why would I wanna start trouble?" Harley echoed, as if she'd never heard of such a question.
There was long pause, becuase Harley had to really think about this- she hadn't really thought of why... Well, aside form the obvious answer of the Joker.

"Because it's fun! it's one big joke!" She declared at last, grinning. "Everyone needs some laughter in their lives, and that's what me an' Puddin' do!" She waved her hand, like she was trying to wave off some kind of annoying bug. "Sure, some people get hurt, but that's funny right? Ya know~ 'Its always funny until someone gets hurt- then it's hilarious!'"

The corners of Simone's mouth twitched faintly upward, though her expression remained more baffled than amused. "I think I've seen too many people injured to consider it very funny, myself," she remarked. "And I doubt the people who get hurt are quite so happy. But if it's humor you're shooting for, there have to be some forms of it that won't get you shocked." She eyed the cuff on her own wrist, eyebrows drawing up in an expression of mock-wariness. "I don't think having fun's strictly against the rules for its own sake, anyway."
