[The Joker only just got here...and after a few days and realizing this isn't a dream...he began to form plans.

And then, the whole place went up in a nuclear holocaust. OH GOD WHAT FUN!!!

He'd spent his time prancing about in the streets, not really caring about the nuclear fallout...but admiring the bodies strewn about. What a great day for a frolic! He found the complete destruction to be...somewhat repugnant, but the joke behind it that only he could see had him in stitches.

As one of the few buildings left in tact, the Joker had wandered inside to find the note.

Upon reading it...he could only laugh...hysterically. He squats over the body of the dead Mayor, poking at his bleeding head.]

This place had a Mayor, and the stress even got to be too much for him? Oh, how droll, Mayor-poo. Shooting yourself in the head ( ... )

[City Hall. One of the only buildings in town that's actually managed to maintain its integrity, for the most part. And for once, the Riddler is able to make his way inside. There's plenty he needs to do right now, of course, but when has he ever had an opportunity like this before?

Once he's made his way towards the Mayor's office, though, he stops dead in his tracks at the familiar sound of chilling laughter. Taking a tentative peek inside the room, he gets his first look at the cackling clown. Well, no. He doesn't look much like a clown, not now. But it is him. In the flesh.]

Joker.

[The Joker turns to look, and a wide smile spreads across his face.]

If it ain't my old pal! [He tosses the pistol over his shoulder as he speaks, seemingly thinking twice about taking the dreadful thing and he begins to saunter toward Edward.]

Come to have fun in the ashes too? I wonder what kinds of tricks you've got up your sleeve! Hehe!

[It really is him. The Riddler swallows, standing his ground.]

What the hell happened here?

[It's right about now that he realizes that they aren't the only two in the room---the Mayor of Mayfield himself appears to be hunched over his desk, a bullet wound in the forehead. That, along with the fact that the Joker had just been holding the gun... It's enough to make the Riddler's face fall, to morph his complexion into a pallor as green as his suit.]

Oh don't give me that serious look, buddy! I didn't off the poor guy. Found him like this with the gun in his hand...looks like he took the easy street out!

Honestly, to think you would assume I did something as...un-funny as this is just insulting! It almost hurts my feel-bads.

Until I get the feeling you're shocked by this for a different reason.

[Edward strides past the Joker, over the Mayor's body and to the handwritten note on his desk. True to his word, the Clown Prince wasn't responsible. The Mayor did this himself. This whole town's gone to hell, and for what?]

Bastard. [He tosses the note back onto the desk.] All because we didn't show gratitude for what they've done?

[ooc: Whoops, I am dumb and somehow didn't realize where all this was taking place and where the body was. Ignore my stupidity.]

[OOC: Didn't seem like any mistakes were made on my end xD. Initial reactions to weird situations and all that.]

Oh don't get so emotional, and think about it for a minute.

[The Joker kind of, dances about the room as he speaks, his arms wide open, as if it's just so very grand.]

I don't know much about this place, but it looks like they take us here out of some delusion that they've provided a nice place to live. But, the people here didn't show much gratitude for being kidnapped, no Stockholm Syndrome that they really want out of us.

They do put roofs over our heads, give us jobs, and even nice happy families to play with in a wonderland of 1950's sitcoms!

[He stops dancing, giving Edward a big smile and pointing in his direction.]

It's downright HILARIOUS! A HUGE joke! A really well played one, too!

I just can't help but laugh! HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[The Joker's actually defending this place, isn't he? You'd have to be insane to do that. But then, he's the Joker. Insane is what he does best.

In part, though, it's true. After at least a year of captivity, this place has offered the Riddler a family, support, something close to stability... Plenty of things he'd never had back in Gotham. But Mayfield's brought about just as much chaos as Gotham. Just as many questions that remain unanswered, if not more. This place is the furthest thing from stable, and he knows it.]

Shut up. You honestly think all this is worth a good laugh?!

laff_a_lympics November 28 2011, 09:06:44 UTC

Riddler, my boy, why wouldn't it be?

Ohhh, and now it's all been leveled in nuclear fallout! But, I can't really take over a town like this.

It's too easy! Everyone's just going to go primal!

It's like a mix of every post-apocalypse movie ever made. Pretty droll, if I do say so myself.

I guess if new leadership rises up I'm going to have to help it out...just so I can mess with it later! Hehe!
