[008]Barbara Gordon[Video]

[gingerbatgirl]

[When the video starts Barbara is standing in the closet, sliding a bundle onto the top shelf and then putting a folded blanket on top of it. She steps back and looks at the hiding spot, making sure the bundle isn't visible. There's a needle and some thread visible on her desk when the device is, like she had been sewing something before the feed

Our killer clown? Yeah. I've been watching. He's throwing out his line and fishing for information - we'll all have to be more careful. The Batman thing set him off, didn't it? [He can be heard cursing quietly under his breath.] Not to speak ill of the dead, but what the hell was that kid doing running around F1 in costume? And that girl calling him out... They might have just doubled our problems.

So far he's contacted three different people trying find things out about us. He's also been in contact with Milla, I think. And yes, I'm pretty sure it did. This may not be the version of Joker I'm used to but the obsession with Batman is still there. I'm fairly sure he's the one who sent that threatening text to Emilia too. [She sighs] He was a cocky, stupid kid. Very few people around here have any common sense, it seems. And now Dick is out on top of everything else.

And thanks to Emilia, he now knows my name and the exact nature of my relationship to Dick.

[bucky_cap]

Has he been? I'll talk to Milla. Maybe we can get her to dip into Joker's head sometime... [It's more a musing than a solid idea or a plan, though.] Threatening text? Shit. I'll keep an eye on Emilia too. She's a sweet woman, but she's in way over her head with things like this. [And Steve would want him to look after her.]

If we can draw some of his attention away from Dick, you guys might be safer. Maybe we can spread some false information over the network for him to pick up on, direct him toward another general pain in Facility's ass. I'd love to see the bastard end up on Jack Noir's bad side or something.

We have to be very careful with Milla. He had a psychologist back home who he spent several months messing with. The woman ended up completely losing her mind and becoming obsessively attached to him.

Maybe. It's an idea but it has it's own risks too. From what I've seen of Jack Noir, he and Joker might actually end up getting along. We just have to make sure he doesn't learn any more. He knows too much already.

[ippotsuko]

And who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do?

[Video][Private]

[gingerbatgirl]

If you don't want to be told what to do, don't listen. I don't particularly care, to be honest.

[Video][Private]

[ippotsuko]

I'm just saying, here you are acting like you have authority for some reason.

So what's this "show" you're talking about? I was a bit preoccupied at the time.

[Coming back to life covered in acid burns and all.]

[Video][Private]

[gingerbatgirl]

I'm not claiming to have any authority. I'm just giving advice as someone who's dealt with this man before. Take it or leave it, like I said I really don't care.

He murdered someone on the network right after reset.

[onefideliter]

Can I meet you in person? Its possible to get through some of these locks and I'd rather trust you than the device.

private.

[gingerbatgirl]

Of course. 8C. The door is open.

private. > action.

[onefideliter]

On my way then.

[And then there is a lapse in time, then sometime later, there is a knock against the doorway. Siri is standing there, and she can pick up on the unease on the situation.] Barbara?

action.

[gingerbatgirl]

[Barbara is going through her 'berry but she looks up when Siri shows up] Come in. Close the door behind you if you don't mind.

[azhee_maii]

Nah, haven't seen him. His stuff is still in the room, though.

[At least they know he's not terminated.]

What're you making?

[Private]

[gingerbatgirl]

Good. He's probably comatose then. If...[Nope. Not even gonna finish that thought. She doesn't need that bouncing around her brain]

I was fixing my suit. The cape was kind of damaged during our last trip.

[Private]

[azhee_maii]

Or he's having a Batsulk. [Always a possibility.]

Ah, should've guessed. That's the only reason any of us ever take the time to learn to sew.

[Private]

[gingerbatgirl]

Could be. If that's the case he could at least have the courtesy to sulk in the suite so we know he didn't run off and get himself killed. [Which. Is also a possibility. God Dick, stop dying]

I've known how to sew since I was a kid. It's a pretty useful skill actually. I wouldn't have a suit to begin with if I didn't know how to sew.

Private

[empyreanistic]

Mr. Joker or whatever, right? Yeah, I've been watching. We gotta be really careful about what we let out on the network]

Private

[gingerbatgirl]

Joker, yes. I probably don't need to tell you this but any reference made to the capes on the network from now on needs to be locked so he can't see it.

Private

[empyreanistic]

How about just locking everything? I don't trust that guy as far as I can throw him. [Which is actually really far, but Alfred tends to forget that] You have any personal experience with him?

Private

[gingerbatgirl]

That would be the logical way to do things. But at the same time, we can't really expect everyone to just lock everything they put on the network. A lot of them don't even know how to do so. [A pause] Unless we just went ahead and made a filter against him and gave the code out.

I do, yeah. He shot a couple in front of their son and then took both me and the kid to an abandoned amusement park. I got the kid out but then I had to deal with Joker. There's no way of knowing if this is the same Joker but...so far everything about him seems the same. Maybe a tiny bit crazier than the one I'm used to.
