Harvey is once again sitting in a corner. And once again, he doesn't turn his head when he speaks.

"It seems like I'm going to be living here, and I'll need a job.

"So, does the Nexus need lawyers? I was a prosecuter, but I'm flexible about that. And I'm open-minded--even the weirdest crimes and clients don't bother me."

You might have some trouble with that.

*The advice comes from a tall woman (over six foot, easily) who carries a tumbler of something blue and luminous in one hand. The other appears to be splinted.*

There aren't many laws here, and people who try to impose them... don't last long. You might do well as a legal consultant, although you'd need to brush up on the laws outside your Facet. And welcome to the Nexus, by the by.

"Sounds like a plan." He chuckles. "And thanks."

[onemorebounty]

You're welcome.

*She looks him over--the scars are taken in as calmly as the rest. There is a distinctly measuring quality to her gaze, though, as if she were sizing him up for something.*

Out of curiosity, where are you from?

[goodheadbadhead]

"Gotham City. Why?"

[goodheadbadhead]

"Not long, but long enough. I was thinking of helping people who need lawyers outside the Nexus itself."

[goodheadbadhead]

"True, but at least I have experience. If only in my world, and my country."

He smiles upon hearing his name. "You from Gotham?"

"I don't need anyone, but I appreciate the offer."

The small artist in the baggy clothes was lounging on a couch, sewing a little fabric bird. Pea soup green with black spots on the wings, two shiny black button eyes. She pulled the thread tightly, each stitch small and precise.

[goodheadbadhead]

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, then."

The visible half of his face smiles.

[victormakesart]

She grinned back at him. "Anytime. If it makes you feel any better, I'm not good at accepting help at all. But I really don't get in much trouble. With the law." That last bit needed to be clarified, because Victor did get in an awful lot of trouble otherwise.

[goodheadbadhead]

"That's good."

Coin flip time. "My name's Harvey, by the way. Harvey Dent. It's a pleasure."

[goodheadbadhead]

"I'd rather not."

His other option is serial killer, right at the moment. And anyway, the coin came up good heads--being a lawyer is a good guy thing to do, right?

[goodheadbadhead]

"The coin came up good. I'm staying a lawyer."

He always obeys the coin, now. It's only fair.
