Joke Twenty Six: And Suddenly Everything is Wonderful

[crazyclownwoman]

 [Anyone who knows her well, probably noticed Harley hasn't been at her best these last few days. However this morning she finds two boxes outside her house. Mayfield have a very loud sequel of excitement.

A. if you walk by 1249 Williams Road you will see a woman hugging two large animals. Hyena's to be exact. She seems ecstatic. ]

My babies! Come

[Who would imagine that someone else is rollerskating around in winter? Well, not this monster boy. Slugger comes tearing down the street on his inline skates, crossing the paths of several oncoming vehicles before he rounds the street corner.

This is when he spots two massive things romping side-by-side in his direction. He tries to stop but it's not soon enough and manages to swerve off the sidewalk into a snowbank instead.]

[crazyclownwoman]

[Looks over as she stops. Hyena's laughing.]

Hey, you alright kid?

[strike_you_out]

[Slugger is already sitting up in the snow and beginning to dig his way out, pulling his bat behind him, when he recognizes that voice. He's never met Harley and he's likely never seen her, but he's heard that voice in the house before speaking to Eddie.

But for the moment, he's very interested in the hyenas and is eying them curiously.]

[crazyclownwoman]

[Harley's not nearly observant enough to know who Slugger is. But she see's him looking at Bud and Lou]

Oh! Meet Bud and Lou! The town gave em' back to me!

[strike_you_out]

Are those... dogs?

[He doesn't think so but they look vaguely similar? He's never seen a hyena in real life.]

[crazyclownwoman]

They're Hyena's!

[The dogs start to laugh..]

[strike_you_out]

[He sort of wants to get closer but he doesn't. Instead he dusts the snow off his clothes and steps back onto the sidewalk, balanced on his skates.]

Do you sick them on people?

[crazyclownwoman]

[Have a grin.]

Only if they're tryn' ta make trouble for me.

[strike_you_out]

[Awesome.]

...You're Edward's friend?

[crazyclownwoman]

Yeah! Kinda! I know him from Arkham!

Oh wait, are you his kid!?

[strike_you_out]

["Arkham". Slugger will file this word into his memory for later.]

The town assigned him as my father.

[crazyclownwoman]

[This woman would tell you anything about it.]

Oh wow.

What's he like?

[strike_you_out]

Weird... [Especially his choice of clothes.]

Shouldn't you know?

[crazyclownwoman]

Oh. I meant as a dad.

And yeah. He's a little strange sometimes.

[strike_you_out]

[He bets you're a little strange sometimes, too, lady-walking-hyenas. He also bets that Edward told you his "son" is the Devil.]

You've been at the house before. Who are you?

[crazyclownwoman]

[Nah, she's a lot strange, all the time.

He did mention Crane would like him.]

I'm Harley Quinn!
