There was something charming about New York that the Joker found familiar. It was like a little Gotham away from Gotham. Not that he needed it - it was just nice to know that Tommy's home city wasn't so different from his own.
The biggest similarity between the two, though, was that he really could go anywhere without a second glance. Queens wasn't so bad. And Tommy's little apartment building! It was so quaint, reminiscent of Gotham with it's... shoddy protection.
It only took a few moments before he had picked the lock - but, of course, it wouldn't be that easy. A deadbolt? Really? He didn't feel like breaking the door down, here!
"Fine," he grunted, banging on the door with the back of his fist. Better not to say exactly who it was - he lifted his hand over the peephole, too, just in case.

She stood on the opposite side of the counter and placed down the package, pushing it away from her. Well, it wasn't ticking.
"Oh, yeah. I forget your so popular." she replied in a dead pan voice, rolling her eyes.

She looked up at him, biting her lip. She closed her eyes gently and shook her head.
"No." she replied softly, trilling a finger nail on the counter.

Date: 2009-05-26 09:07 am (UTC)"That - that has to be one of the stupidest and most annoying things you have said thus far." she replied to him, rubbing her temples and shaking her head.
"And considering how much I hate the sound of your voice - that really does say something." she added, shrugging with her hands and lacing her fingers together and resting her chin on her hands.

She didn't want to open for fear something might fly out of her. Or worse, be freaking out over and empty box.

Date: 2009-05-27 08:45 pm (UTC)"Fuck, I really don't wanna open it now." she commented through her hands, again rubbing her face and sighing.

Date: 2009-05-27 08:51 pm (UTC)He gave her an analyzing stare. "Don't you have a brush? You look kind of like you have a rat's nest growing in there." Not nearly that extreme, but hey, he was offended.

Date: 2009-05-27 09:12 pm (UTC)"Your version of "honest hospitality", I hope to never see." she snarled pointing at him and making air quotes, then blinked. She took a hold of a lock of hair, then looked back at him.
"Your hair is green for Christs, sake. If your gonna give me shit, look in a mirror yourself. Alright?" she hissed, pointing at him then waving a hand at him.

Date: 2009-05-27 09:20 pm (UTC)"I was saying, there's a brush in there. You need it." He pointed at Tommy almost like a scolding parent would to a guilty child, "Just because you aren't usually a woman doesn't mean you can slack off."

Date: 2009-05-27 11:10 pm (UTC)Tom glared at him, trilling her fingers for a moment. She didn't believe him, she didn't want to believe. But still she moved towards the package giving a heavy sigh.
"If I see anything else, I'm chucking this at you - and you know I will." she snapped at him.
