Joker Aftermath ((MiniMini-Narrative, Open to Anyone Who Would Logically Check In On Him))

[thomas_small]

He's grateful just to have made it home, in the state he's in. He's patched up his shoulder as best he can with the way he's shaking.

Still wounded and twitching, no longer covered in insects or their blood but still shaking, he curls up in the space on the wall next to the bed and whimpers.

((:D Is it open to people who aren't very logical, but are still prone to checking in on him?))

[thomas_small]

(( Indeed it is. But he won't be picking up the phone. You're always welcome to drop by, though, especially if he doesn't answer phone calls. ))

[twitchnosewitch]

((Cool. Jules is about though so I'll leave him to her for now. ;) 'Sides, Rose is out and about and probably will be for a while if the Doctor's player remembers to reply...))

[thomas_small]

(( I could phoneslap Em for you if she's not replying. ))

She figured she'd just stop by, for no particular reason other than she wanted to see him. She grew curious when she knocked on the door and it swung gently open, letting herself in and wandering hesitantly.

"Tom?" She spots him, folded in on himself between bed and wall and he looks terrible. She approaches slowly, hands held out slightly as if in supplication, or as though to placate a frightened animal. "Darling, what happened?" she asks him, voice soothing. If she can keep him talking, maybe she can help with the shock.

He's covered in blood and weeping. The opening door startles him. "Stay back. Don't touch me." His voice comes out a thin whine, scared and trembling. He can't tell if the blood on him is his or someone else's.

"It's all right," she says softly, kneeling to put herself at his eye level. "There's no one here but me."

[thomas_small]

"And me." He buries his face in his arms. "Oh, God, Jules, I killed them. There was so much blood..."

(WHAT HAPPENED? OMG give me an hour to get groceries and I'll be in here! WTF! *goes off to read* WHOA.)

[thomas_small]

(( He got badly fear-gassed and thinks he killed Terry and Cain. Well, and the Joker completely kicked his ass.

I'm logging off soon, but I'll be back in the morning. This by no means means i want to discontinue the RP we have in your journal, which I'm already loving, by the way.))

[waxwontbeenough]

((NO WAY are we dropping that RP. Terry is going to murder the Joker, you realize this, right? Cue up a Dr. Martynec-style sonic kicking of ass.))

[thomas_small]

(( Oh, I realize. I just wonder if the poor Joker does.

Meanwhile, when Tom comes around, he's going to find out whomever gave the fear gas to the Joker and murder them.

This family just got very bloody, didn't it? ))
