Joke Thirty Three: Totally the best plan

[crazy_clownwoman]

Ugh, well I don’t think I’m ever drinking milk again after that. Man this place sucks. 

[Action: Harley has the best plan ever. It cannot fail.

A. Does Harley know you? AT ALL? Any form of contact from a hello to long conversations to a, why the hell are you dressed like a clown? She is knocking on your door. ESPECIALLY YOU EDWARD! Though not dressed like a clown this time. Feel free to have no cr with her and answer the door. She get's lost a lot still. 

B. At her house, looking through some papers for something.

C . Red! Harley is hanging out with you. Which is not odd itself. But she’s been looking at you a lot lately.

Hi!

[And she is not phased by that at all.]

Can I ask you a question?

[ooeeooahah]

Sure, want to come in for some iced tea?

[ She points to the kitchen with the chef's knife. ]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[Will come inside with a smile.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Putting the knife beside the sink and pouring tea for them both, ]

How are things going for you this week?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Pretty good.

Well better now I don't have to drink that milk all the time. I was gettin' tired of getting sick.

....and dying. That wasn't fun either.

[ooeeooahah]

Twice was too many for me... but until we get out, it could happen again.

[ She shakes her head and changes the subject. ]

So, what brings you out today?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh it probably will.

I'm askin' people some questions. Well the same question really.

How can you tell if someone likes you?

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa blinks, thinking about it. ]

Which kind of like? You mean as a friend, sibling or lover? Agape, Philia or Éros?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Um, "like" like.

[And here Isla learns Harley is mentally 12 sometimes]

Love I guess.

[ooeeooahah]

Hmm.

[ Ilsa sips her tea, giving it appropriate consideration. ]

The difficult part is that there's as many ways to demonstrate affection as there are people. Sometimes you never know until you ask. You have to take great risks for great rewards.

[ She smiles into her tea, thinking. ]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[She sighs and has a drink of the tea.]

...

I should probably just ask.

[ooeeooahah]

Someone you care about, but didn't think of them that way, maybe?

[ Ilsa watches without watching directly. Psychiatrists need to keep an eye on watch other. ]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I mean she's my best friend too....

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa smiles ] Sometimes that's a great foundation.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

....You think?

[ooeeooahah]

I know.

[ The smile is a little bittersweet, remembering. ]

It's nice when it doesn't work out that you can stay friends after, too.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

You think it won't work out?

[ooeeooahah]

Just talking about my experience. I was able to stay friends with my boyfriend in high school after we figured out we weren't meant to be. [ Then she grins, ] I catered the fifth anniversary reception for him and his husband.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh....

Okay. So it might.

Eh, this is too complicated.

[ooeeooahah]

It's life, hon - it's complicated most of the time. The idea is to make the most of every day you're breathing.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Tried that one already.

[ooeeooahah]

Keep trying. Could be the one you were meant to be with has been right beside you all this time.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[She was thinking more along the lines of "make the most of everyday". The Joker used similar idea's into twisting her into what she is now.]

I guess.

[ooeeooahah]

Will it change your friendship beyond recognition if you do become lovers? You and she are the only ones that can answer that, and it likely isn't a simple answer.
