[RL - Picking up Samara :)]

[tntandgasoline]

Some of the things the Joker could do really amazed him - not that he was a vain guy. (He was, but that's irrelevant right now.) Finding world-hops when you're on the Most Wanted list should never be as easy as it was for him, but then again, there were all sorts of folks on the community.

It was interesting how, by taking off his makeup and putting on his Saints cap, he could pretty much walk anywhere. People just didn't look too closely. He'd contemplated going in as a patient but he had this sinking sensation that his current playmate was a little too tidily tucked away for just any crazy person to spot her, so instead he took special measures with a blunt object to the back of an orderly's head as they got out of their car. The uniform was baggy enough that he could hide all sorts of things in it, which he did. The checklist at the sign-in counter was especially helpful, too. So many violent characteristics! Everyone was so angry, here. That was good.

With a little luck and a lot of properly timed whispers to easily-riled inmates, there was enough chaos going on that he could slip around with barely a word of caution from any of the other employees. Now, to find his little dumpling. Unconsciously, he started humming in his usual lilting sort of accent, looking down the long corridors with irritation. "...I started a joke, which started the whole world crying..." Where, oh where, had his little dog gone?

He didn't even realize that he was talking about stuff she wouldn't understand. When they reached the doors to the recc room, he gave her a look. "You just tell me which one of these fine, struggling men is the one who gave you the most trouble here, and I'll take care of it, all right?"

After all, nobody who could let a little girl - creepy or not - live in such a terrible place was obviously not worth the air.

Samara considered. None of them had really given her trouble. They'd been nice enough until she'd shown them her pictures, and then they'd just been scared.

She pointed at random. She wanted to see what he would do.

Maybe the Joker was putting his own mental instabilities on Samara; mostly he just assumed that every doctor was a threat. He couldn't see anything particularly foreboding about the man she pointed out, but then again, it didn't matter to him. With a few quick moves around a man screaming about fireants or something - who cared? - he grabbed the orderly by the back of the neck and dragged him 'round to face him.

"What did the lobster say to the chef?" He didn't give the man a second to even contemplate the joke, which had a pretty obvious punchline, really, just yanked a knife out of a pocket and flipped it open, stabbing it through the man's cheek.

When he started howling, the Joker giggled. "So, you know the joke, then?"

Samara stood, still completely blank. A drop of blood hit her finger; she held it up curiously and looked at it.

"Are we going?"

[tntandgasoline]

He turned and let the shrieking man drop to the floor in agony, beaming. "Of course, pumpkin."

Someone looked towards them, like they were going to stop him from taking the girl out of this terrible place, but he just wagged a finger at them and started for the exit.

She followed, glancing back at the other doctors. They seemed even more afraid of the Joker than they were of her, which meant that they were fairly reluctant to do much to stop him.

[tntandgasoline]

The reluctance probably wasn't helped by the fact that, only a few moments after leading Samara out into the real world, the dynamite he'd planted went off, blowing her room and most likely several rooms around it to pieces. "Well, now," he said, ignoring the thundering of the explosives, "I think it's time to go back to Gotham."

[weliveandwecry.livejournal.com]

She didn't even start at the sound of the blast. "Where's that?"

i don't know... how he got the hop :X i think eris was offered at one point for all his hops but idk

[tntandgasoline]

"East coast," he replied flippantly, "And only a hop away." He paused, then frowned. "Did you tell me your name?"

yeah, that makes sense XD

[weliveandwecry.livejournal.com]

She blinked up at him. "Samara."

we'll just go with that then or something idk joker's magic

[tntandgasoline]

"Samara." The Joker always had to taste names before committing them. It was a bad habit. He grinned at her, "Well, Samara, you can stay with me for as long as you want." She wasn't even remotely affected by him and it was... interesting, to say the least. He wanted to pick her apart.

awesome 8]

She gave the tiniest frown. "What about Daddy?" If he had put her in the hospital once, he might try to do it again.

[tntandgasoline]

"What about him?" The Joker made a face. "You want him back?"

[weliveandwecry.livejournal.com]

"No." There was a hint of disdain in her voice. "He wanted to leave me there. He'll want to put me back."

[tntandgasoline]

"He won't." The Joker's tone was vehement. "He won't even find you. Not ever again."

He beamed. "So, smile a little, sweetheart! The world is officially your oyster."

[weliveandwecry.livejournal.com]

That sounded lie a good enough plan to her-- but she didn't smile. She never smiled, really.

"And when Mommy gets better?"

[tntandgasoline]

"Sam, sweetie." The Joker smiled wide, "From now on, we'll do what you want to do. So, when she gets better, if you want to go home with her, we'll do it. The world is your oyster." Until he got bored of her, of course.
