[What's this? A Harley post? Yeah I know. But here she is, standing outside one of the outdoor bathing areas. She figures this is a good place to corner- I mean talk to people. She's in costume, except with the added bonus of a ringmaster's top hat settled on her head, the handles of her usual hat drooped down and tucked back like braids. She cracks a whip and stands tall.

Her love ring is positively glowing as she grins widely and bows.]

Hurry, hurry, step right up and don't be shy! [She waves the whip.] Welcome to a special presentation of A Harlequin Romance! Don'tcha just wish ya could meet your sweetiepie? Someone to call your main squeeze? Can't ya just see'em in your dreams? Well, now thanks to my special super duper secret method, ya can do more than just see'em! Just a few seconds of your time will give you an eternity of love.

If you'll all just step right over here, I'll find the perfect gal or guy to keep ya warm for the rest of your lives, however short that might be. [She giggles.]

((ooc: Basic idea is thus! Harley is a biiiit overpowered by her love ring at the moment and has decided she wants to play super matchmaker deluxe. It's up to you guys what actually happens. Just illusions, of course, but the person is up to you. It could be their actual ~one true love~ or completely wrong! Not like she's controlling it well right now. And she's going to be trying to...forcefully convert you to the side of love through zapping, so just a warning on that, too. Have fun!))

[Purple rings united!]

Matchmaking, what a noble endeavor!

[purple rings up in the house, yo.]

Ain't just beautiful? There ain't nothing as crazy and as wonderful as fallin' in love.

Oh yes! Love is....

[slightly starry eyed, thanks to his ring and his pre-existing imagination]

[finally snaps out of it and is aware again]

Ah, where was I? Oh yes, love really is truly wonderful as is the spreading of love. The joy of seeing two lovers united and knowing you assisted in helping them discover true love's call is truly remarkable.

Almost as remarkable as your smile. You must be lots of fun, your smile tells me so.

Awww, gee, ya flatter me. You're welcome to keep it up! Ya sound like a regular Casanova.

You make it very easy to compliment you! Your smile, your laughter, your whimsical nature. It is like a burst of sunshine that illuminates the darkest days. I'm not surprised you are an agent of true love, even Aphrodite herself would be envious of your beauty and charms, princess.

Ooooh, I like ya, kiddo. That's some class you've got there, so I'll give ya some special marks. But how about a name first?

Ah of course, my apologies.

[bows]

Suou Tamaki, but you can just call me Tamaki if you wish.

Tamaki, huh? Ya definitely ain't from Gotham.

[She tips her hat and bows a little.] Harley Quinn. My friends call me Harley. Enchante.

[RETURN OF THE MOM ATTACK]

And I'm Ootori Kyouya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Harley. I hope my friend hasn't caused you any trouble so far.

Tamaki, you didn't tell us you were intending on visiting the baths. [shining glasses to go with the razor-sharp smile] Don't you think you should have brought Haruhi with you?

[that 'enchante' gets a big smile]

[laughs]

Your name suits you. Is that the name you were given at birth, princess?

[and aaaah, Mom. He is startled and jumps, and after he settles again he looks sheepish]

I didn't know where she was...I thought she might be alone with Kaoru so I wanted to find her. [his ring is glowing a little, but not nearly as brightly as Harley's is glowing so he doesn't even really notice] She spends a lot of time alone with him, doesn't she?

[Juni and Sorin currently loathe me; so of course that means that Juni is now standing there and looking slightly puzzled]

...How is that possible?

Anything's possible if ya got a lil' love in your heart. So what's in your heart, sweetcheeks?

...Um, probably just a bit of blood to be perfectly honest.

Well, nothin' better to colour a Valentine with than the blood in your veins. Or his, whatever. Straight from the heart.

I... I suppose that makes sense actually; no closer bond and all that!

...Oh, go on them- it can't do any harm.

...Harleen.

[and his shield of fear is ALREADY up, so don't even try it]

[She frolics up to him and leans close.] Well heyas, Professor, how about a lil' lesson in love?

[giving his best grin of psychopathy as he uses his ring to slip into his Scarecrow clothes] You know I much prefer terror on my curricula. Why don't you let the professor do the teaching, Ms Quinzel?

[She grins right back and holds up her hand as if offering it for a kiss, except the ring glows brighter then. She cracks the whip.] Ladies first! [And have a nice love beam - VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!]

[no thank you, a burst of crow feathers will be dispelling THAT.]

Age before beauty, Harleen.

[FEAR THE REAPER! Awesome scythe-shaped beams of FEAAAAAAAAR]

[Harley, being her agile self, backflips through them and lands on her hands, legs spread in the air.]

Aw, c'mon, Professor. Don't tell me you're gettin' cold feet on our special day?

[side-slash scythe of terror!!!!!! Wish that could've been alliterated.]

If you're looking for love and cold feet, you should talk to Victor.

[A cut across her arm appears but she just grins.]

Nah, he may freeze up at the alter but he melts at a tug on his heartstrings.

[She puts on a burst of speed as she leaps into the air, hovering for a moment as she launches more love bombs.]

Harleen, I never knew you played. [darting up through the air while dodging to try to snatch her hat]

[Satoshi is walking casually by, ignoring the woman in a---]

[NO SORRY WHAT ARE YOU WEARING???]

[Yeah, he's a bit surprised, rooted to the spot and staring]

[She grins at him.]

Now there's someone in need of a love fortune if I ever saw one! [She waves her hand, beckoning, whip still held tight and ring glowing bright.] Why dontcha sit down a spell and let me work my magic?

[stepping back from the crazy Harley because he does indeed remember that she is batshit insane]

The rings cost the users.

[She waves her hand.]

I do it for free. But you're welcome to pucker up and pay.

[He is saying 'no' with his face]

Using the rings costs physical energy.

[Have a Harley bounding around, twirling and twisting through the air quickly and gracefully, bouncing off on only her toes and with quick movements of her fingers. After spinning around a bit she lands perfectly in front of him on one foot.]

What was that, shorty?

I guess it couldn't hurt you.

[...yeah, he's suggesting that it's no big thing if Harley dies early]

Ne, really? How will you do that?

It's pretty easy! Don't ask me how it works, though, 'cause that ruins the fun! A good performance is one that leaves ya speechless, ya know?

Oh, I suppose...Well, can I try, then? I'm curious now~

[Harley leaps into the air and lands in a roll before hopping back up.

No there was no point to that. She's just excited.]

Then we must gaze into my crystal ball. But since I ain't got one, we'll improvise.

[She holds out her ring and creates a mirror like surface, though it is hazy and glowing purple.] Look deep but don't get sleepy, ya beauty! Just focus and see what ya dream of.

{This whole 'creating things with magic rings' still surprises Diva, so she brings a hand to her mouth in surprise at first before peering into the not!mirror}

Love's meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

[bitter!Sam is bitter]

What?! Now just phone the phone and call right back on that one, 'cause I know ya didn't just say love's meaningless! Love is the meaning.

[bitter!Sam is quickly becoming irritated!Sam, courtesy of his red ring] There's nothing that'll kill a man faster than love. And I know.

[She folds her arms but grins anyway.] Crimes of passion are pretty romantic if ya ask me. Ain't no better way to say 'I love you' than showin' ya can't live without'em. And they ain't allowed to live without ya, neither.

[snorts a laugh] Yeah, that's romantic. But it isn't realistic, Slim. In the end, love isn't as important as doing the right thing by yourself or whatever morals you got.

[rolls up a cigarette] Know what I mean?

[Kate stares at her, amused and bemused] Not...really interested in that kind of thing.

Course ya are! Everybody's got someone they want, even if they haven't found'em yet.
