[Joker enters with a flourish, his jumpsuit replaced with his usual purple suit. He waves his fedora in the air, ignoring nearby guards who are watching him with uncertainty]

CONGRATULATIONS, SLAPPYSWORTH! A FINE VICTORY!

[He nudges the nearest partygoer]

And it is, innit? Be a chap and fetch Daddy some bubbly.

[Why. Why did they have to let him in... Re-l scowls and immediately excuses herself from whatever conversation she's having, determined to get over to him before Bruce disappears.]

You are really pushing your luck with me this week.

[He shifts his grip on his cane and just smiles.]

Hey, what's a party with no clown!?

I didn't know that you did parties.

[So deadpan. She folds her arms across her chest and eyes his cane.]

You kidding? I used to perform for Satan.

The one that's here? Lucifer Morningstar?

[She doubts it.]

[He laughs. It's a small, jovial laugh.]

That's the one!

[She looks surprised.]

...The one that's here? I've never seen you at his club.

I stopped performing when it shut down.

Let me guess: you don't like "Purgatory".

It's okay. I mean, you know. It's not great but it's okay.

But it's not a club run by the Devil, is it.

Purgatory's a club run by a dullard.

[Across the room, a certain hopeful weed ducks behind a broader-chested partygoer, cringing as soon as he hears that familiar crowing hoot.

Oh god, who let The Joker in?

(Come on, you're all thinking it too.)

Daedalus is fine being catty with madmen from across the network, but stick them in the same party room, without medical attendants and proper bed restraints?

He's trying to make himself very, very small.]

[Unfortunately, discomfort is like blood in the water to the Joker, and he meets Daedalus's gaze across the room.]

That you, Doc?

[Why why why why-

Ignore it. Just ignore it.

He quickly averts his gaze, and sliiides between a few other guests to edge himself closer to the watercooler crowd.]
