[angorwhosebabyisthis]

having thoughts about nine, and i think one of the biggest things i would personally do to fix him and his role in the story (without making him a flat out villain) is to change the core theme of his character from 'missing stair will not and should not ever be held accountable for their actions,' to:

cruelty and defiance are not the same thing. existing out of spite is not an evil thing; refusing to lay down your weapons under the guise of being small and soft and palatable is not evil; defending yourself and others from being wiped out or made less than you are is not evil. it is not cruel. making good on 'fuck around and find out' can be one of the most important things you will ever do.

and because it's not cruel, it does not excuse cruelty. 'kind does not mean nice' doesn't mean 'cruelty is acceptable as long as it's for a Good Cause'; it also doesn't mean that cruelty in some instances and kindness in others balance each other out. if anything, the latter just ends up becoming part of the former with a different face. it doesn't matter how soft or palatable or loud and rough-edged you are: either your worldview is built on kindness or it isn't, and that will show in how you act on it no matter how hard you try to quarantine one philosophy from the other.

there are lots of other things i'd change; a major one being to pull the fuck up on said cruelty by a LOT, holy shit. as well, don't make him abusive, whether as a) a tactical abuser who pretends his trauma took out the filter he absolutely still has, or b) someone whose trauma has taken out their filter, and left them a disoriented, barely functioning wreck with no idea what the hell is going on inside or outside their own head; whose confused flailing manifests as lashing out in abusive ways, and who wants to do better, and would actually improve with both help and accountability for their actions. that last one has worth as a narrative, but it requires pulling on the sensitivity gloves so far up your arms that it's just a whole spandex suit, and these writers have well and truly proven they are just not fucking capable of that lmao

but in the end, one of the things that does absolutely have to change is that his character has to have a point other than getting away with being a missing stair. there might be other ways to write him as a static character and still a good one; they do have their place! but given that the conventions of the genre would generally involve a growth arc for a character like him, i feel like this interpretation is one that probably falls closest to what they were actually going for.

(or at least, what they wanted to trick the audience into thinking they were going for. lol)

anyway yeah, i have a piggy bank full of cents about this and that is two of them. tl;dr justice for nine, we could have had it all

winter prompt fill 29, indruck, sfw?

29. i should’ve done my shopping a month ago but now i’m running around last minute and when i enter your store, i’m absolutely frazzled. help me.

(Pinecone is borrowed from harrisonator’s fic “Monster Mash”)

Working at Kepler Petco isn’t the worst thing, even during the holiday shopping hellscape months. It’s not like anyone is getting in fistfights over cases of Fancy Feast. Which is why, on the 22nd of December, Duck is unprepared for the sudden sound of hands on hitting the countertop. 

“I need help.” The guy’s about his age, silver hair going patchy black near the top, pink and white striped sweater around his neck and a massive sweater hanging off his lanky frame. His red glasses barely conceal brown, anxious eyes. 

“Sure, what’re lookin for?”

“Rat treats, the kind that won’t make them ill.”

“Can handle that, right this way.” Duck leaves the counter and leads the guy back to the small mammal section. As they go the man spins a ring on his index finger, flushing under the merciless heating vents. 

“I’m sorry for the dramatic entrance. I have a mountain of things to do today and your store closes first.”

Duck glances at the AKC branded clock on the wall, which shows 12:30 p.m, “We close at five.”

“Yes, I know, but I really cannot overstate how behind I am on my Christmas shopping. Or, well, holiday is more accurate, since Joseph celebrates Hanukkah, which means I’m already late on that.” He sighs, runs a finger with chipped black nails through his hair.

“Big family?” Duck points to the row of snacks, grabs the man a basket from the end of the aisle when he starts piling them into his arms. 

“Lots of friends. We’re having a party tomorrow and I completely forgot about it until today. I know it’s ridiculous to forget about a holiday where you can’t turn around without being slapped with a reminder of it, but my brain doesn’t always work in the way I’d like it to.”

“No judgement here. Once forgot my sisters birthday until the minute my mom asked if I could get some candles for the cake after school.”

“Oh dear.” The man smiles, the expression shifting from odd to shy when Duck meets his eyes, “thank you for your help.”

Five minutes later the guy heads towards the register, then stops, backtracking to the display of rats, mice, and hamsters. Duck joins him in case he has questions, and to steal another look at his singular features. They’re not handsome on the surface, but something about them draws his eye back over and over. He’s just in time to hear the man cooing to a pair of brown rats.

“...so lovely, aren’t you just charming? If I could I’d take you home but space is limited. Oh” he blushes when he sees Duck, “I’m, ah, ready to pay now.”

“One of your friends got rats?” He indicates the pile of treats the man is buying.

“Hmm? Oh, no, these are for Luna and Emperor, my rats. I wanted to get them presents too.”

Duck can’t decide if the fact the guy prioritized spoiling his pets on the day he had to buy a bunch of gifts is adorable or worrying.

“As I said, I came here because you close first. And I, ah, I like spoiling them. It’s nice to know exactly how to cheer another living thing up.”

“I get that. Pinecone, that’s my, uh, my cat, gets more treats a month than I do.”

“Someone ought to buy you a few, then.”  The man murmurs, handing over his debit card. 

Duck, caught up in the mechanics of fighting with the card reader, doesn’t realize he’s being flirted with until the man is no more than a silver head merging into the throng outside. 

He’s lowkey annoyed with himself the rest of the day; he’s been in the market for a cute guy, and while his mystery shopper may not be Ryan Gosling, but Duck wouldn’t mind getting his number. 

Since he opened today, he gets off at three, decides to swing by Crate and Barrel in case the apron he thinks Barclay might like. There’s small hallways dotted through the mall, leading to exits or to backrooms.  As he passes one, he gets a glimpse of silver hair and a vibrant scarf. That’s the only good part of what he sees; the man from earlier is pressed close to the shiny wall, trying and failing to get his breathing order.

“Hey, man, you okay?”

He jolts, registers who’s speaking, and looks at the ground, “N-not really. I, part of the reason put this off so long is I can get incredibly overwhelmed in crowds sometimes, and yes I know that makes coming here three days before Christmas even worse an idea but I thought maybe I could handle it, but I’ve only managed to buy two of the gifts I need because I cannot focus with everything going on and, and I’m sorry, here I wanted to charming around you and now you’ve seen this and-”

“What would help?”

“I, I’d like to go somewhere quiet, but there’s nowhere, even the bathrooms are packed.”

“Do you, uh, want to come sit in my car for a bit? I can run the heater so we don’t freeze.”

“That’s really alright?” The question is so small and vulnerable he wants to tuck it into a shoebox to keep it safe.

“Yeah. C’mon, I’m parked on this end.” 

It’s snowing on and off as they walk to his car, and as he gets it running and turns on the heat his passenger finally pulls his clenched hands from his pockets; one holds a fidget cube, the other a very small, plush moth.

“I tried so hard to prepare for every possible future.” Is what he gets as explanation. The man sets both items in his lap and shuts his eyes, breathing slowly in and out. Duck says nothing, opens his phone and plays two rounds of Plants vs. Zombies before he hears anything at all from beside him. 

“Would you mind turning the radio on, at a low volume?”

“Any requests?” Duck hits the power button.

“No talk radio.”

“Can manage that.” He fiddles around and finds the alternative station. Even it has Christmas songs interspersed with the usual mix. 

“Is your name really Duck?”

He wonders if the guy is omnipotent until he remembers his nametag.

“It’s a nickname.”

“I’m Indrid.” He opens his eyes, “thank you for letting me come here to calm down. I may actually manage to succeed in my quest now. It’s so hard, I actually enjoy being out around the lights, the feeling of so many people being happy or trying to do kind things for each other. But it’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially when I’m alone.”

“Would it help if you weren’t?”

“Possibly, but I couldn’t ask you to spend even more time in that mall given you work there.” 

“Got some last minute shoppin to do myself. Besides, if you get stuck on a gift, I’m pretty damn good at comin up with ideas.”

“Thank you.” Indrid smiles, excited, and that settles it: Duck is asking for his number after this.

They brave the crowds and the holiday cheer blaring across the speakers once more. The first stop is a store selling housewares, including a pair of small succulents that Indrid deems worthy of giving a friend as he listens to Duck talk about his part time job at the National Forest, laughing when Duck mentions last weeks run-in with a pissed-off migratory bird. 

The next few stores are no help, and they opt to take advantage of the lull between when people are done with school and when people are done with work to hit up the coffeeshop, Indrid ordering a white chocolate peppermint mocha and promptly getting whipped cream on his nose. Duck is tempted to kiss it off, settles for handing his new friend a napkin while he talks about his recent return to Kepler after traveling around the country in a Winnebago, selling his art at shows. As luck would have it, the store has a shelf devoted to artisan or local coffees, and they’re each able to find one for someone on their list. 

Macy's proves more treacherous, and once five o’ clock hits even Duck is feeling cramped. Indrid is tensing, his replies getting short or far off, and just as Duck is about to offer to dip out again, chilly fingers link with his own.

“Is this alright?”

“Better than alright.” He grins and Indrid holds tighter, breathing in through his nose and out his mouth as Duck guides them into a less crowded corner. The do eventually find some high quality hiking socks that Indrid buys, only letting go of Duck in order to pay. 

They reward themselves with dinner at Johnny Rocket, Duck hopping over to Indrid’s side of the booth to see pictures of Emperor and Luna, and show off the photos he has of Pinecone hiding under his ranger jacket. 

“One more stop, thank goodness.” It’s going on seven and Duck has to say he agrees; he loves being around Indrid, but his feet are killing him and he’s had “Jingle Bells” stuck in his head for an hour. 

Indrid’s last item is at Crate and Barrel, and Duck laughs when the other man goes straight to the aprons. 

“You got good taste, I’m gettin’ one of these too. Barclay said he needed a new one.”

A fine-boned hand freezes mid-reach, “Did you say Barclay?”

“Yeah?”

“I am also buying this for a Barclay. Is your Barclay, by chance, dating someone named Joseph and hosting a party tomorrow?”

“Yep.”

They stare at each other, frozen long enough that another shopper passes between them. Then they double over in sync, Duck wheezing out a laugh while Indrid cackles. 

“Holy shit, we’ve been shoppin for the same folks!”

“Barclay mentioned there’d be new people at the party but I never thought one of them would be such a catch.”

Duck gets his breathing in order, steps across the faux-hardwood and takes Indrid’s hand.

“Hey, Indrid? You wanna be my date to the party tomorrow?”

“Absolutely.”

“....wait, fuck, which one of us is gonna give him the apron?”

“You can, I have another idea for him. Consider it an early present from me.” Indrid tease. 

“Sugar,” Duck slips his hands into Indrid’s back pockets, smiling up at him, “you might just be all the present I need.”

2019 Mega Drive Explorations [2]

A continuation of part 1. Click the link below the first entry to read more.

Alisia Dragoon (1992)

If there’s one strong commonality between my experiences of playing nearly all of these games, it’s that I really could do without most of the bosses (and fuck boss rushes). Less than two weeks since, I still have a bad taste in my mouth from how meanly Alisia Dragoon ratchets up its difficulty in its later levels, with enemy placement that, on an initial playthrough, half the time expects a supernatural level of anticipation, and a squad of bosses who just go on and on, requiring an absurd level of precision. I hate it! It’s a shame, because Alisia Dragoon has so much to (hesitantly) recommend it, maybe most of all its graphical splendors -- even the bejeweled HUD is fun to look at -- and topographically exciting level designs; the penultimate stage is alone memorable for being slanted at forty-five degree angles. Alisia herself is accompanied by four familiars who can be leveled up and have separate uses. It’s cute. Everybody wants to hang out with a dog-sized dragon. A minor detail I loved was venturing into seemingly empty nooks and crannies and finding that items did indeed reside there, waiting to manifest. I’d say that this is a Mega Drive title which anyone looking to explore the console’s library should give some time to, but I also understand if the same people give up on it. There’s no good reason to endure the last stage’s nightmares.

Cadash (1992)

Although it’s missing some stuff that’s present in the earlier arcade and TurboGrafx-16 releases -- notably the the priest and ninja classes -- Cadash on the Genesis remains the delightful, finely sized dungeon crawler it ever was. The game has a predictable structure of progression where you move from village to dungeon, find a key, access the next village, and so on. The most recognizable point of comparison might be The Adventure of Link. There are enough twists and bits of humor to make the game pop where it needs to, whether it’s shrinking in size to access the interiors of dwarf village, speaking to a dog who is lamenting their dead owner, or a bestiary that includes potbelly dragons and waddling heads made of rock. Happily, the music is no exception to Taito’s trend of having strange soundtracks for its 80s and 90s releases (Toshiko Tasaki is listed as the composer, but that’s in the capacity as an arranger for the Genesis version; the original composer remains uncredited), and it plays a big part in making the atmosphere feel a little more off-kilter than screenshots may suggest. Unlike the arcade version, the Genesis release has no timer -- an exclusion I don’t mind when it’s the sort of game where I just wanna bop around and level up. My dream is that this is re-released on the TurboGrafx-16 mini with online co-op functionality.

Mystic Defender (1989)

The truth is that all videogame development is “troubled.” Sometimes it’s just more obvious within the product itself, and I think that may be the case with Mystic Defender, which comes across as a game that was half-finished and suddenly needed to be stretched out to meet a quota for playtime and avoid going over budget. The first two stages, a forest and shrine with slight Japanese influences, look fine and excellent (respectively); the third goes the Giger-esque route, and while the tiles don’t quite fit together, and it’s a curious progression after stage one and two had a sort of continuity, the trope always has some gross-out appeal. Everything after this is either asset recycling or so vaguely themed that it’s impossible to care about what you’re seeing or know where you are. Any of ‘em could be the finale. The actual final stage gave me flashbacks of Tiertex’s Strider II, whose last stages have you walking around big boring mazes of flat long paths and hoping that the direction you’re going is the right one. Overall, promising and disappointing. Everyone reading this should, at minimum, check out the epilogue for the most hilariously formal congratulatory text I’ve ever seen in a videogame.

Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter (1993)

Geez. If any Mega Drive title exemplifies boss-related bullshit, it’s Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter. Adding onto the frustration is that there is a potentially stand-out beat ‘em up here. I think what will first strike most people is how good this game looks. There’s a fluidity to sprites’ animations that has to be seen to believed, palettes are used expertly for ambient effect, and the backgrounds usually make an effort to catch your attention, subtly or dramatically. Your person (or... suit of armor?), Mazinger Z, has a handful of attacks that are satisfying to use, like a flurry of sword strikes if you mash a button, or an aerial attack that’s done in tandem with horizontal jumps; and if the total type of opponents is limited, they’re at least behaviorally distinguished. What singlehandedly makes Mazin Sager miserable are its bosses, whether you’re preemptively contending with them as a human-sized figure (sometimes in sections where a single screw-up can cost you a life) or taking them head-on as a giant version of yourself. The latter are presented as a fighting game, and, early on, are easy and formally ambitious enough for you to forgive their clumsiness and mechanical simplicity; after all, not many beat ‘em ups switch their genre for bosses. Around stage three is likely where you will start to see the A.I. input-read and generally fuck you up. As a giant, you have a couple of moves that do damage greater than the other four or so, but the windup and spacing they require (not to mention complicity on the A.I.’s part) make them impractical, meaning that you are basically forced to do as much damage per hit as you can see in the second screenshot. Meanwhile, bosses deal way more damage, can do nonsense like interrupt your aerial attacks with lows, execute screen-wide dashes that have no frame disadvantage, and culminate in a boss rush which ends with a devil who gave me significant trouble even with the help of save states. Never again.

Two Crude Dudes (1992)

I was glad to have my baseless assumption about this being a one-note Meme Game be, well, baseless. Turns out, Two Crude Dudes is one of the better beat ‘em ups I’ve played. There are very few cheap shots, stages are brief and don’t wear out their welcome, you’re given a pretty fair amount of time to respond to oncoming opponents, and only a couple of bosses left me scratching my head about how to avoid taking damage. Also you can throw like EVERYTHING and it’s so fun. There was a stage two encounter where I was like, what the heck, when does this end, and then I realized that you could, and needed to, throw an aircraft that kept reappearing, and it was then that I knew that this was a good game. A similar epiphany happened much later on when I discovered that tanks are throwable if you mash the button. The soundtrack is kind of forgettable percussive- and bass-heavy funk-rock, but energizing in-game, and sometimes has a strong instrumental resemblance to the Genesis games that utilized Hitoshi Sakimoto’s Terpsichorean driver. A general criticism is that this is a pretty plain looking beat ‘em up, and the post-apocalyptic setting seems to have restrained rather than facilitated creativity.

Munday askes. How do you pick a faceclaim? Why did you pick the fc you did for all your ladies?

I want to say I answered this question ages ago... But I can’t find it anywhere... So, I can’t take the easy way out.So, in my head are probably anywhere from 15 to 25 faceless character ideas rolling around in my head. Most of them are just snippets of things, I’ve thought of while reading, watching movies or listening to music. Sometimes it is stuff I drag out of poetry, which I am a huge fan of for those who don’t know. (ha found a quote to an answer Ouro asked me a long way back now: “God, that’s hard. Um.Lots of things inspire me. Music, Art often - perhaps a painting or a photograph that holds a story. I suspect a lot of writers take inspiration from people they meet, stories they’re told.I think a ton comes from mythology. I am a huge fan of myths, folktales, folklore. I don’t know if it is the Celt in me or what, but, I am fascinated with it.I like all of it too, Celtic (which really is a huge umbrella for a bunch of different stuff), Norse, Ukrainian, Japanese, Chinese, (and I am the first to admit that none of these “terms” or labels is a one size fits all, because myths are largely local - to place or a time.) Greek mythology is good too, I find it fruitful particularly for delving into the darker side of human behavior. Its probably no surprise to most that I am a big fan of Jung and Joseph Campbell. Anyway, those are often the roots of characters and their stories, the seed if you will of a thing. The rest? The progress, whatever comes from them, their narrative. I just try to be as faithful a recorder as I can.“After all that, it is all about pouring over google for just the right face claim or likeness. The voice often betrays the appearance. Though, sometimes that’s also a surprise, miss matched things are often amusing to me. Anyway, as for the Faceclaims!I tend to look first to things that are not what “everyone else” is doing. I have a few actors as face claims - and those were largely chosen because of their range of facial expression. Raerys initially was Christina Hendricks because her face is amazingly expressive and she has a sort of snarky air about her that I love. But, after watching Magnificent Century and having a chance to enjoy Meryem Uzerli portrayal of  Hurrem Sultan I was sold. Kaereah, is sort of a hybrid of a couple characters I’ve had over the years, and to be absolutely honest, Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke. Symmaril gave me the face claim actually. He found a picture of Miss Deadly Red and said, she’d make a great face claim. He was right.

Greneda came right after Kareah. She needed a friend and I’ve always thought Dita was amazing. 

Leanri’s face claim was initially that of my warlock/dk Tzilli. And Leah is sort of a mash of Puck-like\Fae tropes rolled through hard luck and low education. I wanted her to be cute as a button, but full of trouble. It was hard to get any better than that with Miss Mosh.Aemberlie’s face claim needed the right touch of sweet and innocent. I’ve changed her fc a bit since I started role playing her seriously, making adjustments much like Raerys based on feeling.Kordelaine’s face claim needed to be both innocent and hard. She’s a little bit of both considering what she’s been through. Teya Salat was perfect for that. I wanted someone with some pretty stand out tats and piercings but still had the ability to appear vulnerable. Nolah is ... a mess. A work in progress or maybe a failed work all together. I’d like to make her character work but she’s tough to get around people, tougher to fit her into any sort of group outside of her family (who my friends - that were that, quit playing wow.) She’s got Andelynna but, the two of them together are a bit more than most folks can chew. They’re a lot like Abra, but not half as nice. I can’t lock down a face claim for her since her initial one went off the rails personally. I don’t want to use her.Bryonny was inspired totally by the character Nancy Birch masterfully played by Kate Fleetwood in Hulu’s Harlots and Lizzy Caplan as she appears in The Last Rites of Ransom Pride. She’s a hard boiled, nasty piece of work. She’s also a difficult character, and considering how many muses I have, she gets the short end of the stick.

Thank you for asking @laceandhalos

The Heaven Agency

Today was going to be great, not for any particular reason, only because I said so.

I pulled up to this small white building with windows surrounding every side. 

I parked my car in the normal employee parking and got out. 

Today was going to be a good day I could feel it. Were more of a protection agency than anything, but there it was The Heaven Agency written in golden cursive letters above the sliding automatic door.

I sighed deeply breathing deeply, smiling at the sun, “ today is going to be a great day, I feel it in my bones.”

Coffee in hand, and briefcase full of certainty, I began walking towards the door. As  I walked through the concierge greeted me, her name was Ann, I loved Ann, she was always so cheery.

“ Goodmorning Ann !” 

“ Goodmorning Jennifer ! “ She replied with an award winning smile. “ Did you get your wings brightened they look great.”

I fluttered them a bit, and laughed “ Yes I have ! Thank you for noticing, you’re so great, have a good day babe !”

 Ann smiled brightly, “ You too love ! Stay Gold !”

I gave her a wink with a smile and said, “Stay Gold”

I made my way over to my desk, greeting all my fellow work associates.

I sat down in my chair and sighed. Today is going to be a great day.

Oh, I’m sorry you’re probably wondering what we do here, well we protect things. Hahah- let me be more specific, we protect you, but most importantly.  We protect them, this is our balance.

Them is , a little boy , he looks about seven to nine years old, but God knows he’s older than all of us. Then there’s his two dogs,  a big German Shepard named Raziya and Abigor, he’s a tiny black dog, he’s so adorable but we can’t call him adorable, he get’s offended. 

Now,  what  do we do for you ? Well, that one is pretty easy compared to The Balance. You pray to us, and we get this cute little emails, I love them so much. We used to get scrolls but sometimes they wouldn’t get filed right, and all of us guardian angels have different jobs, sigh, it was chaos. 

Anyways, we get this emails, you’ll hear a pings all day long. Once we get those emails, we send basically blessings to you. They sit in this clear jar right next to our desk, there are about a million in that tiny jar, and sometimes you’ll receive a blessing and sometimes you won’t. It really depends on how hard you work for it, or how hard God wants to work for it, meaning you have to learn all your lessons first. Don’t worry everyone gets resent them same lessons thousands of times, and how we can see if you didn’t learn your lesson is by what you pray for. Yes, we do take into consideration everything you’ve been through in life ,but some people need to learn their lesson more than twice. All we do is send the word lesson through the email, then the email gets forwarded to God, who sends you the right lesson for you situation. 

After an onslaught of pings all morning, it’s three o’clock and it’s time for lunch.

I pick up my suitcase, and head for the cafeteria. Which is huge by the way, about the size of a football field  because we hold our group meetings there too. Its a white room with small stage for when God gives their meetings complete with a microphone and ten foot tall speakers on either side, even though the walls were about thirteen feet. As soon as you walk through the door their are windows on the other side, the view is breathtaking, the clouds are wispy and light and the always setting or rising sun, creating beautiful hues of color. In moments of darkness stars decorated the galaxy. No matter what, always beautiful, always gold.

I sit down and open my suitcase and find my lunch inside. We only bring lunch in our bags, but I thought the human invention of the suitcase was so cute, plus it makes me feel like my lunch is important business.

Mashed potatoes, smothered in homemade butter, roasted figs, an orange, and apple juice. My mouth watered, and I dug in.

Suddenly, John sat down across from me with his lunch bag, he’s from accounting.

Well, we call it accounting but he keeps records of all the little humans who have learned their lesson, in case of errors. He accounts for them. I chuckled to myself. I’m using that at parties.

“ Hey Jen , have you heard about the meeting ?”

I gave him a puzzled look, “ what meeting ? I didn’t get an email.”

“ They sent it right before we went to lunch.”

I must’ve been in such a rush to eat I hadn’t bother to acknowledge anymore pings.

“ Well what did it say ?”

“ It says that we have a meeting today during lunch.”

“That’s weird, that’s never happened before.”

“ I know, its weird right ? No one knows what’s going on or what its about.”

“ Oh geez, that makes two surprises,let’s hope it’s good news.”

“ Surprises like this ? Who knows.” John glances down at my lunch and smiles, “ roasted figs again?”

“Uhm, who are you to judge ? Roasted figs are a family tradition, and I can’t help that they don’t find into your mainstream idea of yummy.”

John laughed and shook his head, “ mainstream ?”

“ Yeah, what do you have their anyways, a taco salad, really John ? You’re going to judge me ? At least I’m healthy .”

He laughs, “ All that butter and, you call that healthy ? “

“ More than you.” I gave him a sassy smile , and shoved a heaping forkful of smothered mashed potatoes in my mouth.

DING DING DING, rang over the intercom, a woman’s voice said,

Meeting will begin in 30 seconds.

Everyone rushed to their seats and sat down. As the intercom predicted God, walked out, today they were a middle aged man, they looked like a college professor, wearing glasses with a button down collar.

God isn’t just a man or woman by the way, he’s both, so we get different versions of this entity, personified. Yesterday they were a woman with a beard, I think he’s trying to get more creative with his looks. Which is fine, we could all use a change every once in awhile.

“ Good morning, my cosmic children”

“ Good morning ” we all repeated in unison.

“ So our schedule was really packed today, so this meeting has to take place during lunch. So as we venture forth into this coming ascension, as you know, darkness lurks upon us. On ascension day, where we celebrate the love we have for each other and the ancestors that came before you, the threat of the darkness grows nearer, summoning us for battle, yet again. “

God pauses to take a deep breathe,

“ but what you were not aware of, is that this is the last battle, that decides whether or not, we are at peace or we go to war. “

Levity: Part One

Summary: A Joker love story, based after “The Dark Knight”.

Characters, OC (Eleanor) Jack Napier/The Joker, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth

Warning: Hints of abusive relationship

Word Count: 1800ish

A/N: This is pretty intense at points. Flashbacks will be in italics. The story will be a fairly even mash of past and present

Rachel Dawes had died a year ago. Harvey Dent had perished those two days later, taking Batman with him.

Taking Batman but leaving a crumbled Bruce, shattering his soul and body. Sometimes I feared even his mind.

I shook that familiar thought away, pushing my hair out of my face and smiling at the security guard, thanking him as he held open the door for me. “Have a nice day Miss.” I plastered on a small smile, “Thanks, you too.” I knew the pleasantry didn’t reach my eyes but once the slick doors closed I didn’t care and my lips fell back into their now usual frown.

It went far deeper but I stopped my jaw from jutting, fiddling with the hem of my skirt again in some weak attempt at distraction and pressed the button to the penthouse, the vibrations of the moving metal ricocheting through me. It was still early, and the fluorescent light was a little uncomfortable on my eyes, but I would have taken anything over the news I was travelling to deliver.

Not that my feelings about it all mattered.

They shouldn't matter.

The lift stopped with a click and the doors swiftly opened. I heard the soft padding of feet before I saw the older man but my face had stopped him half way through his question.

“Your're early, is everything al-?”

“Is he here?” Alfred nodded slowly, tightening his dressing gown and stiffly moving to his employers grand room at the other end of the floor. I didn’t follow, only Alfred could ruse him enough to leave the confines of his bed, and other than the occasional stressed word over the phone I hadn’t seen him in weeks. It was a couple of minutes before they returned, Alfred rubbing his hand through his hair, Bruce through his beard.

“What is it Eleanor?” He limped over a little too close, so his breath danced over me, reeking of stale alcohol.

“Put the news on.”

Alfred did as I said wordlessly and as the sun broke over the maze of skyscrapers outside the sound flooded the large lounge area. “Master Wayne...” Bruce stopped his closest companion with a flick of the wrist, limping heavily to the pristine couch and lowering himself, letting me follow slowly after, although my stomach was twisting too much to sit.

“When?”

“Last night.” I swallowed hard, finding my mouth suddenly dry, “One of the doctors must have helped them escape, and they were all at Blackgate...even though....”

They had said one of the three was deep in the confines of the closed down Asylum, the only patient Arkham would ever have again.

That had been a lie, all of it had been lies.

Bruce carefully studied the news anchor for a few moments, rubbing a lined hand over his equally tired face. “You need to go into protective custody, out of Gotham...”

“No...” I stuttered over the word, “No I can’t. He’s not doing it for me. You know exactly who his target will be Bruce, who all of them will target...” Why was my voice lifting so high? I cleared my throat in a weak attempt to sound a little calmer.

“Maybe they’ll have sense enough to leave Gotham.” Alfred interjected, although he didn’t even seem to be convincing himself of it, “They’ll go elsewhere, lay low.” His hand rested over his mouth. We all knew he was wrong and there were a few moments of silence after I next spoke.

“All of them will target Batman.”

Bruce’s fingers curled, resting on his damaged knee. The rays of light were breaking through the wide panels of windows and I watched them illuminate the carved lines close to his eyes.

“There is no Batman anymore.”

“Bruce...”

“No.” He shoved himself up, shaking away Alfred once again. “There is no Batman to target. I will not hurt anybody else...”

“That won’t stop them doing the same.” The butler was curt.

“The authorities can handle it.”

“The authorities are based on a lie. The police still believe you killed Harvey, all those other people...” He brushed aside the argument that sprang from me.

“Jim Gordon doesn’t and he is the commissioner.”

I rolled my eyes, eyelashes still spiked together from yesterdays mascara, “And how long until they kill him? You need to stop it now.” His mouth opened, “I know they’ll try and stop you, but you can get them before they do too much damage Bruce. He’ll...The Joker especially will want to tempt you back out, and he’ll do anything to get that reaction.” His eyes fluttered towards the picture of Rachel on the coffee table.

“How much more can they do?”

I couldn’t stop the side of my mouth lifting, “You have no idea." I swallowed hard again, "Crane has proved he has no limits, no morals, what if he still has connections with this League of Shadows...”

“There is no League of Shadows, they’re gone.” He finally turned to meet me properly with a scoff, although any tiny hint of humour vanished, “Crane needs a team, discipline, a plan.” I could see the cogs behind his eyes turning, “He needs control. The Joker...” I was glad he stopped himself, and his mouth tightened into a near invisible line, “You’ll stay here. Protected.”

The shake of my head was instinct, and my fingers were claws in my hair, “He’s broken in here before!”

“And whose fault was that?!” I stopped myself from quivering at the lift of his voice, the hoarseness flooding the words. Alfred wouldn’t meet my eyes.

“That wasn’t me.” I said lowly, although I could easy add to my list of lies. “And... I’m fine, don't worry about me. I... I just thought you should know. You’ve spent far too much time locked up in here hiding from everything! You’re Batman!” He watched me walk away, my feet stomping hard against the expensive wood flooring.

“I was Batman.”

And now the Joker was free, I was as good as dead.

Jack would see to that.

I hid the rest of the day, slinking back to my apartment and burying myself in my bed cover. I didn’t sleep, I couldn’t, not knowing they were free. The Riddler meant nothing to me. Edward Nigma was an intelligent man who strived for a sort of psychopathic power he couldn’t manage or hold.

But I couldn’t pretend one of them didn’t terrify them. I couldn’t pretend that the very moment that changed everything was down to him. Down to me.

If Bruce refused to come back, if Batman remained hidden, at least the police would have a chance. Gordon was smart, intuitive. But he would never understand the Joker, at points in my life I thought I had but I had been wrong, so wrong.

If I left it too long the Joker would find me here. He’d storm in, with either a group of thugs and imbeciles he’d had waiting, warped minds he’d have no trouble controlling, or he’d sneak in alone and I’d find his knife deep in my roommates throat.

Luckily Liam was out. He had left for the very reason I had originally clung to him. Liam was a cop, a good man. He'd been in danger plenty of time, throughout everything that had happened with Crane's fear serum, through the Jokers' reign of terror those long months ago. If I waited here the Joker would find me and kill one of the only people I really cared about.

Maybe I deserved that, but Liam didn't. I couldn't allow it to happen.

Irony bit at me. The only reason I had ever come to be close to Liam was as a way to benefit myself. I used him for protection, and any night I spent fucking him was one I didn't have to spend in the Narrows. It was one I didn't have to spend with Jack. Some nights that was a blessing, others a curse. He knew a little, about the man my life revolved around, but not as much as Bruce. That was purposeful, I'd managed to keep him away from Jack before, made up poor excuses for bruises.

The best way to keep Liam safe was to never see him again. To pray he didn't try and look for me.

I forced myself out of bed and into the shower, turning the water up as hot as it went. I had been living in Liam's apartment for just over a year. The most settled I had ever been. It had been foolish to believe that once the Joker had been locked away that I was free. Once the mob had become involved I had taken my escape, still amazed that it had worked, that the Joker seemed to have set me somewhat free. As ever I had been wrong, but throughout his reign of terror I had only seen Jack a few times, never at the apartment but never by my choice.

He knew where I lived, I had no doubt about that. So why was I stalling? After my shower I spent too long slathering on make-up and perfecting my hair. Was it worth packing and making a run for it? Leaving Gotham? I had nowhere to go, I had no-one else.

My only option was to find him before he found me. To beg for my friends life and accept whatever repercussions came my way.

If I met him, made the move, showed him that I wasn’t hiding, I wasn’t scared. He could have me, and nobody else. If he killed me, that may be enough, he’d finally have that bit of revenge he’d longed for for years. A part of me wanted him too. To end the twisted game that had dictated the last thirteen years of my life, the absolute best and worst moments of my memory.

The worst parts belonged to everyone who had witnessed them. But the good parts were mine. In some twisted way he would always be mine. Even if that beauty was just a distant memory marred by everything since. Marred by decisions I had made, things that had come into play and broken us both.

If he was mine. Then I was entirely his.

That could never be in question.

I was as sick in the head as any of his little goons.
