What d'you know. I've got myself a baby brother

I'm hardly a "baby". Try "younger", if you must.

[with_liiiiiight]

You're still a teenager. Come ON.

[dei_irati]

And this teenager can fight you to a standstill.

[with_liiiiiight]

I was going easy on you.

[knowsacrifice]

...Taken out? As in killed?

[with_liiiiiight]

You've got a better idea, princess?

[knowsacrifice]

Well... Can't you... Capture him? Put him in jail? Something like that?

[with_liiiiiight]

[rolls eyes expressively]

I could, but that's not as much fun.

[devilbrought]

What, taking it on as a job?

[with_liiiiiight]

In case you hadn't noticed, that's what I do.

[devilbrought]

And here I was doing it for free.

[with_liiiiiight]

Hey, hey, that's no way to play the game. You charge for services, kid. Mercenary work's gotta have its perks somehow. This Joker guy's gonna be a breeze, so it's not like just killing him's payment in itself.

[twisted_lilac]

Ah, joker? Who is that?

[with_liiiiiight]

Ugly guy, bad makeup?

You new here, little lady? Can't see how you would've missed his little "announcement", otherwise.

[twisted_lilac]

... I am afraid so. I have not seen any announcements here, nor have I met anyone fitting that description...

... Though... I did hear something about somebody killing others... Is that related to this?...

[with_liiiiiight]

Lucky. His face would make his own momma cry. If I have to see his ugly mug again, it'll be too soon.

Yeah. Small-time hoodlum, but it's got all these damn humans up in arms. You'd think they'd never seen a kid killed before.

[hopeful_hero]

You could always do it for free, as a citizen concerned for the safety of others.

[with_liiiiiight]

[aaaand Dante bursts out laughing]

[hopeful_hero]

I didn't think so.

You really think someone will actually pay you to do it when there's so many people willing to do it for free?

[with_liiiiiight]

My work is top-notch. Not sure about the rest of you gung-ho "heroes".
