Joke Thirty: A gift for a friend

[crazy_clownwoman]

 [A. Early Monday Morning: Action for istheatmosphere : Oh guess what! You're waking up now, on the ground in the middle of the park! Harley's in her clown costume and poking your shoulder. Man knocking people out and dragging their unconscious forms to a park is hard work.]

Hey, hey singing lady! 

[B. Action for poisonivyforyou : Red, Red! Somehow Harley managed to get you to wear a blindfold and is now dragging you towards a strange location. What are you getting yourself into?]

Come on Red!

[C. OPEN: Remember the park? How bland and boring it was? Well with the help of a magical singing lady, the park is now OVERGROWN with plants, everywhere. Harley is standing there in her clown costume looking pleased. Ivy may be around somewhere. Come up and ask where the jungle came from?]

[ooc: The park will be returned to normal by Tuesday of course.]

[It stops abruptly.]

...

[A giant leaf is pushed aside like a curtain revealing the shadowy face of a familiar boy. Edward's "son" to be exact. A grin plays across his face as he spots Harley in costume. He's seen her in it once before but it still amuses him.]

Red, who?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh jeeze. I thought you were my pal Ivy.

[But she smiles and waves.]

Hey there kiddo! How's Eddie been lately?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't know. He's still missing.

[This would be a perfect place for him to hide---everything's green.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Really? Like missing-missing?

Why ...Oh! Is he hiding from Batman? Or his girlfriend?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Shaking his head]

He left after the "game". I think he's afraid to come home.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh really? Why? Did he blow something up?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Nah. But he almost killed Susan.

[He might as well have blown up the whole house.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Really? Isn't that the person you guys live with?

Why'd he try and kill her?

[She's good friends with the other person in her house.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

She was his target...

[Slugger pauses to look down, then stoops as if to brush something off his pant leg. It's hard to see exactly what it might be with all the plants around.]

Then he went mad. Started laughing like crazy.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh for that thing. That's stupid. You shouldn't kill someone if you like them. It's just mean.

[Harley=logic.]

Nah, he's crazy already. He was laughin' a lot though?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Terrified laughs.

[Sound familiar?]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Huh...

[Kinda....]

Was his smile gettin' all big? Like this?

[Traces a large smile on her face with her fingers.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Watching, he nods. Does she know?]

You've seen it before?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That's Mr. J's gas! I've got some at home now.

Makes you laugh and laugh and you get a really big smile...just like my Puddin!

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

You never gave any to Edward?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Nope. Lost all my stuff that week anyway.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[After pondering this for a moment, he looks up at Harley's painted face.]

...

If you see him, tell him I'm looking for him?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Sure thing!

[Mock salute.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Grin.]

Thanks.

[Slugger lets the giant leaf fall back into place, but not before holding out his hand to release a jumping cricket in Harley's direction.]
