[Harley is laying on a couch, flat on her stomach, feet kicking in the air. She uses one armrest to prop up the newspaper she's reading, labelled 'Gotham Gazette' for the curious. The story she seems to be focused on involves recent convictions to Arkham Asylum and also the recent escapes. They go hand in hand. Arkham is a revolving door for psychos, okay?

She eats cereal out of a carefully perched bowl as she reads.]

Aw, Professor Crane's back in again. Guess that heist of his went sour. [A scowl as she shovels in more fruity delicious cereal.] Figures that Bats can't even give the poor guy a week out.

[oooh, cereal. he could go for cereal. he should go to the kitchen to see if there is cereal. cereal is good. he should stop and at least say hello on his way, though. that and she seems like a good type for a distraction]

What was he stealing?

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[Harley looks up mid-bite of cereal. She finishes it before speaking.]

Eh, just some cash from the bank. He's always runnin' out of funds for his projects, so he probably needed some more before layin' low.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Projects? [takes at the edge of the sofa] Really? Anything interesting?

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[Harley sits up so he can see the paper if he wants.] Probably more of his fear studies. Professor Crane's real interested in that. And he's good at chemicals and things that make the fears come out. [She laughs.] When it comes to what scares the pants offa people, he's one smart cookie.

[leans over and looks at the paper]

Fear studies? That doesn't sound very pleasant. What would he want to do that for?

[Felix has been wandering. And now he is just lost. He pauses near her, not really paying attention.]

I thought it was somewhere around here.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[Harley glances at him.] Hey kiddo, lose your marbles or do ya always look like that?

[mindtheboulder.livejournal.com]

Last I checked, my appearance hadn't changed.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

Jeez, I meant you look lost. Don't be so literal! What's got your face like that?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[She's eating ice cream and still scowling about her Dad BANISHING HER BOYFRIEND fffff. It's the 'heist' bit that gets her attention.] Maybe he should've waited more than a week to try stealing something.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[Harley doesn't notice who it is, really, and just rolls on her back with a sigh.] Professor Crane's a tough cookie but he gets so impatient to get started again.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No one likes a tough cookie. Usually they're burnt. [She licks the spoon, wandering closer to get a look at the paper.]

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[She sits up with a laugh.] You ain't never seen him in his Scarecrow getup. [She tilts her head.] Hey, kiddo, do I know you?

[didorothy]

That does tend to happen when you run around killing and stealing.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

[Harley looks up and waves the article at Sam.] He didn't kill nobody, so leave the high horse for later, all right? And there ain't nothin' wrong with a little money borrowin'.

[didorothy]

This time, and yes, yes there is. Because you don't give it back, and innocent, normal people take the fall.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

What if it was a mob run bank?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Have a curious Brigitta... Who is brushing building dust off of her arms but otherwise looks perfectly normal!] ...Bats?

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

Yeah! You know, Batman. Gee, lots of people here ain't never even heard of Gotham, I guess...

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Faint smile] I'm afraid not, I'm not all that good at modern geography... Is it in America?

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

Yeah but it's all right. You ain't the first person to never hear of it and believe me, if you had a Gotham, you'd know it.

[toxicodendrons.livejournal.com]

Well, really, he should have went into hiding a bit longer. It's his fault.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, I know. He probably got bored without any cash. I can't blame him for wantin' a little money.

[toxicodendrons.livejournal.com]

Still, there's nothing wrong with living modestly for a little while. At least until Batman has his eyes on someone else.

[harlequinades.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess that's right. Especially when Bats is gettin' bored. [Speaking of modesty-] Hey Red, think we could get some new sheets soon? I don't know about you but they ain't keepin' me warm enough.
