SO THIS IS... a really long post of a bigass ask meme, all the answers, about a fallout oc!!! ummm for warnings. #violence #alcohol #alcoholism #drug abuse ?

IM LIKE INFINITELY SORRY if this is just long, and the whole dash, on like, mobile or anything, i got carried away and had a lot of fun with it um,,,,

OK SO TO START OUT a quick summary of this character: marion tremblay, 26 years old, they/them pronouns, a courier six (but i might write them into a non-six role idk) with Sight Gone Wrong. imagine savestates, but the character only experiences the "canonical" ie last save. so they go from neutral to knowing exactly how to process a situation, but it causes a LOT of stress on them, including an incredibly distinctive negative feeling when a "save" occurs and nightmares depicting all the plays gone wrong. in addition, the successful path isnt always harmless, and often leads to heavy injury - just not death. not to mention the fact that the successful path doesnt always help people theyre trying to help, just them.

http://www.hairfinder.com/hairstyles6/hairstyle-carpy12.htm

marion is incredibly stressed and doesnt get it, runs into danger and knows exactly what to do, doesnt know why, doesnt understand how it all adds together, and doesnt understand to maybe take it a little slower. then again, when they try to chill out and live normally the nightmares just get worse and worse. so basically they self medicate to dull the dreams a bit and it just makes everything even more stressful.

theyre a courier/jack of all trades/mercenary type that uses a recharger pistol, and has no self of self preservation. is struggling, indulges often, and is impossibly easy to charm. does things for the fuck of it, anxious, hesitantly affectionate, eventually very protective and supportive, childish and constantly tired lol.

anyway heres the questions!!!

Which Fallout game are they from? new vegas :Y

Which faction(s) did they join and which did they destroy? Why? they end up joining the ncr - they have plans and intentions to go for a free vegas, but realize eventually that the ncr is probably a lot closer to a safe vegas than they were before. kind of insists that the people get a say in things.

DOES have enough time to basically fuss with all the families on the strip and various societies - basically destroys the omertas, takes a long time and a lot of trauma to fix the situation of the white glove society, keeps house alive but out of power which basically really fucks marion up for a long long time, they then spend a million years slowly working their way into the brotherhood of steel to try to get them to kind of... not be involved anymore, same with the khans

they dooooo clear out vault 3 entirely though

What is their S.P.E.C.I.A.L.? str 4; per 8; end 5; cha 4; int 7; agi 3; luk 9. peep that luck bro

Give us a summary of their backstory. OK SO... marion was part of a pretty biggish family closer up north, just kind of, they did business and were vaguely well off. they were always pretty pretentious and loved reading books n shit, tinkering with tech, so their parents were v happy with it. then around the age of thirteen their sight started kicking in, which manifested itself at first as just like a really heavy uneasy feeling whenever something was about to happen, and later kind of... worked itself into what it is now. anyway, they didnt cope very well with it and ended up fucking up a lot of relationships and things when they booked it at about seventeen.

at which point they kind of became a jack of all trades, constantly travelling, settling generally in the mojave. courier mostly at first, then eventually also a mercenary when the business started booming. they constantly had like, at least a couple dozen things going on, so occasionally they would forget a job or two. but considering their sight, they more or less had the ability to go into places that literally no one else could and come out bruised and bloodied but alive. so generally? business was good.

they did a lot of putzing around the strip, helped the followers a bit, etc. just generally has a little bit of history in most parts of the mojave.

after they got shot they forgot some... importantish things, but anyway they eventually fucked off, got ed-e, wandered around, rescued raul+visited him until they eventually just invited him along.

What’s their full name and does it have a meaning? Do they have any nicknames and how did they get em? marion tremblay - a quebecois name basically, uh pretty much their family line came from canada pre annex and were bitter about it.

What’s their sexual, romantic, and gender orientation? Do they feel comfortable telling other people? theyre nonbinary, just kind of, everythings a mess. nothing is definite. they have bigger stuff going on lol. just accepts whatever theyre labelled, but will explain if pressed

Do they have any mental illnesses? How do they cope? uhhh technically they have... some sort of flashbacks, from their sight, that gives them really horrible nightmares. they definitely self medicate its pretty bad. of course they dont really associate their habit of running into danger with their anxiety and attacks and shit, so they basically end up dissociating and confused most of the time, and figure thats just the way it is. and drink. gestures

Do they have any medical conditions? Is medicine/ treatment available for them? nah marions got nothing. theyre surprisingly physically healthy considering the fact that theyre basically useless physically

How much do they care about their outer appearance? What’s their “beauty routine”? How often do they shower/ bathe? they care just as little about bathing as most people in the mojave, but appreciate the ability to wash their hair - comb it pretty regularily. it gets really bad and knotted if they dont

What do they fear the most? their shitty vision failing to manage to do anything for people they love. its done it before

They’re biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw? their total lack of self-preservation and knowledge of self. like theyll do unhealthy stuff and get totally confused why they feel like shit, dont understand that running into things carelessly is what is making them constantly anxious and depressed, and they think that their inability to talk to people is what is fucking things up

What are they most insecure about? they pretty much lack any insecurity. they know theyre pretty bad at talking to people, but theyre not so much nervous about it as just dont really like doing it

What Wasteland threat do they fear the most? (ex. Deathclaws, super mutants, raiders) most bugs actually. since their sight kind of just keeps them from dying, it usually keeps them from dealing with deathclaws at all - but hanging around cazadores and getting poisoned just kind of means downing so many bottles of water and antivenoms, and it fucking Hurts. plus they just find the way they move really really disgusting lol

What’s their zodiac sign or which one do you think they relate to the most? What are their placements (if you know them)? (ex. Aries sun, Taurus moon, Aquarius Venus) mnmnnmn pisces sun. taurus moon.

What’s their Myers–Briggs Type? (ex. ENTP, ISFJ) infp lol

What Harry Potter house would they be in? (ex. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw) gonna say hufflepuff because theyre a big softie when it comes to people they actually do like

Which Pokemon Go team would they choose? (ex. Instinct, Valor, Mystic) uh probably instinct? i think thats the yellow one right?

Out of the nine forms of intelligence (rhythmic, spatial, linguistic, mathematical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential) which one(s) are they really good at and which one(s) is(are) their weakest? theyre really good with math and rhythm - not quite as good with interpersonal stuff, or intra for that matter. they dont know shit about themself lol. theyre really good at science stuff in general, though - comes from fiddling with that sort of shit

What natural alignment are they? (ex. Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil)

im not too good at pinning down characters, but honestly somewhere between chaotic good and true neutral. will help people, sure, for a price - or if they seem really really desperate. dislikes copious rules but wont go out of way to topple rules so long as they seem more or less fair

Do they have any hobbies? What are they?

they play harmonica! they like to think up songs, make harmonies to the songs on the radio. when they were little they liked to fuss with math puzzles and science shit but lost a lot of the focus as their sight got stronger, stopped being able to sit still long enough to really work on stuff. they like to fuss with ed-e sometimes lol. upgrades n stuff. polishin him

Do they have a favorite holiday? How do they celebrate it? when marion was more into consistent courier-ing, they liked pretty much any holiday that people sent gifts to each other. good for business, it was nice to see people so happy, PLUS people always tipped really well and gave them free food n stuff out of thankfulness.

What’s their favorite season? autumn, mostly - most fair weather. loves the winter when theres no storms or anything - nice to wear lots of layers of clothing and have it be appropriate.

Do they have a temper or are they level headed? pretty level headed, but when they lose their temper they sound kind of ridiculous because their voice gets really high and they??? talk like???? this?????? and theres a lot of gesturing.

they dont really so much lose their temper when they go into combat situations simply because they tend to go from zero to everyones dead, pew pew pew. it does happen sometimes in really tough, long situations, but as it turns out being angry doesnt really make your laser pistol shoot any better or harder Do they express their emotions freely or hide their true feelings? theyre so un-in-tune with their own feelings that they tend to not understand why or what theyre feeling. so its not so much hiding as like ????!??!!?!?!?!?

Are they a leader or a follower?

a leader out of necessity.

How do they come off to others? What first impression do they usually make? creepy. first impression is generally that theyre very businesslike, probably too frail to complete a job. “whys this person being so nice when they look like they want to eat me”

Do they prefer to travel alone or with company? Who have they traveled with if any? Current companion if any? they basically never travelled with a companion until recently. started traveling with ed-e, basically just because he makes sounds when things are happening, eventually found raul and after a good couple times of going back to him to get their laser pistol fixed just kind of invited him to come along. didnt realize he wouldnt be able to fix their pistol on the way lol

Would you describe them as selfless or selfish? Does it depend on the situation? they have the ability to be pretty selfless for the most part since theyre pretty well off from all the work they did before getting shot in the head. on the other hand, theyre not really used to hanging out with other people so theyre kind of selfish when it comes to food n stuff, at least until they got sassed enough for it

What do they find most attractive in others? Name at least one psychological and physical trait. (doesn’t have to be romantic attraction) they usually like people with silver tongues and wide shoulders

Do they flirt often? How easily do they fall in love? they basically do not flirt. they dont register flirting, either. its pretty easy to charm them, but marion is not... a charming person

What’s their love life like? Are they interested in anyone or in a relationship? listen i made the with the almost exclusive purpose of dating raul so. interested lol

Do they prefer to solve things diplomatically or using violence? diplomatically. they generally dislike having to actually, be in danger, but theyre really not charismatic so it usually ends up resorting to either violence, or very well-backed up threats

What is their combat style? What range do they prefer? Do they sneak? they are TOTAL SHIT at sneaking, for like no reason. theyre just... really not athletically inclined. their strategy is usually run and gun, dont stop moving, ABS - always be shooting. turns out when you have a rechargeable gun and the luck of the devil, it doesnt matter how many bullets you take as long as you win lol

What weapon(s) do they always carry with them? recharger pistol!!! they also carry a tiny bowie knife just in case. mostly used to cut plants off stems and cut meat off things. its a whole experience

Their most prized possession? pretty much everything they own is replaceable. the harmonica is nice, cause it pretty much still works entirely, but its definitely not super special or anything. theyd still sell it for a nice meal though

Their thoughts on power armor? a nice idea, but full heavy armor makes it kind of difficult to travel large distances, especially over mountains n shit

Favorite armor/ outfit? gecko-backed leather armor, plus a shitty hood they slapped on top of it. they think it looks so cool, plus its plain enough that its comfortable. they really want a tux lol

How’s their aim? Do their hands shake while pointing a gun? a gun? yes. a laser pistol? no. the second things have like, physical bullets in it, they get super stressed. using lasers instead of pistols or bullets allows a certain level of, like, disconnection from the situation.

What are their thoughts on having to kill on a daily bases in order to survive? Does it take a toll on them? Or do they shake it off rather easily? they really hate it. but honestly they get worse nightmares if they dont keep doing things, like constantly. they prefer to not really have to kill people, so tend to like... threaten and bluster their way through things pretty often. they wont chase down a fleeing enemy unless theyre really super in the zone

Thoughts on death if any? (ex. Fear it, accept it) definitely fear. they pretty much cant die, so theyre pretty confident about it, but its mostly because they manage to disconnect so much from situations that it basically just gives them night terrors. like i said before, complete disconnection from their own emotions. basically a whole lot of marions problems could be fixed by accepting that maybe running into danger is a bad idea, even if they basically cant die.

tl;dr, they think they accept it, but 100% fear

Do they move around a lot or prefer to have a place to call home? they move around SO much. marions pretty much been on the move since they turned 17, constantly doing just about anything they could get their hands on. a million jobs all at once

What’s their favorite location? the strip. they pretty much used to spend most of their spare time down there - loved the food at the ultra luxe, the booze n drugs at gomorrah, and the music company and games at the tops. a couple days of throwing caps down the drain, followed by doing a bunch of odd jobs in the area is a good way of spending a whole week. then, once they had enough messages and packages and people to kill/find, theyd take off again

Their opinions on ghouls, feral and not feral? marion kind of sees themself in feral ghouls. impossible to kill, but at what cost, etc etc. very angsty. thinks ghoul voices are actually kind of pretty

Do they scavenge for their supplies or simply buy them? combination. scavenges what they can, buys the rest. when youre as lucky as they are when finding bullets and bits, you definitely have enough caps for everything else. since theyre shit at repairing, they always get their equipment repaired while out

Are they the type to get distracted and go off to an unknown nearby location or do they stay on track? they definitely amble. long term plans are definite, but when you have maybe five jobs happening at once it doesnt hurt to step aside and grab a new one on the way

How do they sleep? Are they picky about where and how or can they sleep basically anywhere? they tend to get themself pretty blitzed to be able to sleep with few dreams. as a result they can pretty much sleep anywhere, but theyre pretty fitful about it

What’s their favorite radio station and song? (post-apocalypse) they used to like butcher pete but got pretty tired of it after a good, long amount of time. now they think aint that a kick in the head is super funny. since they got shot in the head.

theyre okay with literally every radio station, but likes black mountain radio a lot even though its a lot weirder than it was before. theyre really not sure if the people on the radio are uh ok but uh. makes it a point to eventually check that out.

What’s their favorite post-apocalyptic food? Are they a picky eater? Do they know how to cook? they fucking LOVE fresh fruit - trail mix is a huge fave, nd theyll pay pretty much any amount of money for it, especially since it keeps pretty well. theyre also a fan of like, gourmet shit, since they have the money to spend on it. good steaks are nice. theyre pretty picky, but they usually have a pretty good supply of long-keeping foods to eat on the road. they cant really cook that well though

What’s their favorite beverage? Do they drink alcohol? vodka is a fave. gets them real drunk real fast. a long time ago they managed to trade for some nuka-cherry and its basically their favourite thing in the whole world??????? has a weird distaste for sunset sarsaparilla and gives it all to raul

Do they have any tag skills? energy weapons, science, medicine. really good with e.weapons, more than decent with science, pretty good with medicine. mostly out of patching self up.

Anything they like to collect? (ex. Unique weapons, Bobbleheads) Caps Lol. nah but really they pick up anything that seems interesting to sell. they do have a big intention to buy the unique recharger pistol but its never in stock whenever they go to the kiosk

Are they good at disarming traps or do they constantly miss them? theyre pretty shitty at getting traps, but their luck is amazing with it. they can pretty much walk through a minefield just fine. like running through is safer than trying to disarm, because when you run through a minefield you either die or you dont - when you try really delicately you might blow some important bits up, but you wont die lol

The Troubles & Blessings of a Pet

(Jared Leto)Joker x reader

This was my very first fan-fiction I wrote. Just not the first one I posted so it will be, whats the word I’m looking for, lacking?

Preview: You’re a 21 year old college student that just recently moved to Gotham City for the University and a change of pace. It’s Friday night and your day has been horrible. To make things even worse your silly little feline friend has disappeared right before a storm. Will you find your kitty? Or will he accidentally lead you to doom? *wiggles eyebrows*

Warning: There will be blood/killing, torture, slight cursing and use of ‘daddy’ (not a lot?) in later parts, and my lame writing :P

(Part 1)

I walk up the stairs to my apartment door, shoving the keys in as I reach it. Opening the door I toss my backpack somewhere to the right of me not really caring where it lands. Today had been a long day. Pulling an all-nighter to finish a 10 page paper just to have the due date changed wasn’t exactly the highlight of my day.

Oh, but that was just the start of my horrible day. If you add tripping over a trash can in front of a cute guy, spilling juice on my new shirt, getting called out on by a teacher, spilling ink all over myself after breaking my pen, getting chased by a stray dog, and finally obliviously walking in-between a fist fight. That’s right! I’m now sporting a nice pretty purple bruise under my left eye. It had been quite the day.

The only bright side would be the walk home. The sky was dark and about ready to start storming. I don’t know why but I’ve always loved rain. There was something always calming yet exciting about it. At least the walk home helped calm my fried nerves.

Now all that’s left to do is just settle down with supper and watch TV with Jasper waiting for the lovely storm. Jasper is my soft black cat with stunningly bright green eyes. He’s extremely precious to me and I talk to him all the time. Besides my dad, he is the only other male I talk to frequently. I’m not much of a party goer and I’m pretty shy at times. My life is boring but I’m fine with that. I mean it would be nice to spice up my life a little bit but I can’t complain. I have just one good friend that I do everything with. Now I would have normally invited her to join Jasper and I but she was gone visiting her family.

(Friends name) and I moved to Gotham City about 1 month ago to attend the University here. We wanted a change of pace instead of the small quiet town we came from. It was a small town in the country where everyone left their doors unlocked. So moving to Gotham was definitely a change, almost too much of one. Especially since Gotham has a very high crime rate. I guess you could say it has an underworld type deal happening here. Almost like a whole different world. Something we did not have back home. It’s taking some time to adjust.

So like I was saying tonight would just be Jasper and I. Walking into the small white kitchen I pull out a bowl for cereal. I grab a box of (favorite cereal) and make myself a bowl. I bring the bowl into the living room and place it on the small black table while turning the TV on. I nonchalantly throw the remote on the couch when the current headline catches my attention.

“Crime is never at rest, especially with the Joker on the loose!” I eyeball the news reporter as she gives a brief description of the events that happened today. I half listen as she prattles on about some bank robbery, a stabbing, a shooting, yadda yadda and then the Joker.

I’ll never get use to crime being this common, especially when its happening so close by.

A picture flashes up on the TV and I have to admire his flashy green hair. It makes me want to run my fingers through it. “Make sure to stay inside this weekend. Rumors have it the prince of crime has been seen around these parts of the city. Stay safe and let’s hope Batman or the authorities get him.” I roll my eyes since I never really leave my house anyways. I won’t be one of those poor fools. “Now let’s take a look at this week’s celebrity…” I completely zone out by this time.

Shrugging, I start skipping down the short hallway to my bedroom to put on some comfy clothes. That being a pair of black leggings and a chocolate brown sweater dress that ends mid-thigh. I let my (H/C) (H/L) hair fall naturally down my back. Now all I needed was Jasper.

Speaking of the devil. Where was he? He normally greeted me by now.

“Jasper! Come here kitty kitty!”

I go around and search his favorite sleeping places. I end up empty handed leaving me dumbfounded. That is until I see the window open.

That little shit!

I totally forgot about his late night rendezvous! He’s recently been sneaking outside late at night and returning some point in the morning usually when I’m sleeping. This all started about two weeks ago. Since we’d only been in Gotham for like two weeks at that time, I didn’t feel comfortable letting him outside just yet. Well, I guess Jasper had his own plans as he escaped through the window that night. I won’t forget that night anytime soon. I ended up getting help from a stranger and it took us all night to find the little rascal. Anyways, I probably should just shut the window but I don’t want to take that joy of being outside away from him. Rolling my eyes I quickly decide to go look for him. Tonight was going to be our night and no way was he bailing!

I creep up to the open window and yell his name a few times in case he’s just outside the window. After a few failed attempts I head to the bathroom to put some makeup on. I just put a simple layer of makeup on, mostly to hide the bruise. I grab my black combat boots that are cute but comfortable and head to the door. I grab my necklace with my apartment key on it and put my phone in the waistband of my leggings. I locked the door and headed out.

I started by searching near the apartment. Going through the alley way softly calling his name. Shortly after, I realize he isn’t nearby so I set off down the street. It’s dark out so there’s not many people out besides the sketchy people, night owls, party people and occasional late night workers. I continually let soft calls of Jasper’s name roll off my tongue as I stroll down the street. After almost an hour of looking I start to feel a gut twisting feeling. Dang it, where could he be!? I slowly feel panic setting in. How far could he have gone? Maybe it isn’t a good idea to let my cat wander the streets of Gotham. It most certainly isn’t the same as home.

Just then a drop of rain hits my nose. I look up to the sky and see the dark clouds ahead. Not just night time clouds but I mean the stormy kind of clouds. I totally forgot about the storm! To make things worse I didn’t bring my rain coat or umbrella. Great.

I start to fast walk while calling Jasper’s name louder as a light shower starts sprinkling down. I pick my pace up when I feel the rain coming down harder and before I know it I’m running through pelting rain. Each step I take sends cold shards of pain up my legs. The rain isn’t exactly the nice type that lulls you to sleep. It’s down pouring and I’m soaked in seconds. I urge my soaked body to keep going ignoring the rain as I scream Jasper’s name even louder.

Gosh. How could I be so stupid? I should have looked at the weather and kept the damn window shut!

I trip and hit the ground hard gaining some nasty scrapes. I start crying in the numbing rain. It’s hard to see or hear anything.

Poor Jasper! What if he’s hurt somewhere and I’m just being useless dead weight?! What if he’s lost and scared?! What if he’s, dare I say, dead?! My breathing is coming out ragged and it’s hard to breathe. It feels like ages before I actually calm down.

(Y/N). Stop. You need to think rationally. Jasper isn’t a stranger to being outside. He’s probably taken shelter somewhere and is waiting the storm out. Something I should be doing. Realizing I wouldn’t be much help to him or myself sick, I quickly scan my surroundings. Fear sets in as I realize I don’t recognize anything. I’m still very new to Gotham so I really only know my route to school and back plus the occasional places I need to go to.

All I notice is an abandoned looking building off in the distance. Well that’s better than sitting in the rain. I sluggishly lift myself off the ground to make my way over there. My body feels so tired and sore. The closer I get the creepier it feels. Reaching the side of the building, I reach for a door handle. After opening the door, I hesitantly walk inside to get away from the unrelenting rain. I ring out my hair and the bottom of my dress so I’m not as drenched.

Pulling my body into myself to reserve some body heat, I scan the inside of the building. It’s huge but pretty empty. There are some box like crates stacked on the sides of the warehouse. There are lights on but very dim so I can just make out some steep narrow stairs leading to an upstairs area. It kind of reminds me of a murder mystery movie.

Why the hell are there lights on in an abandoned building? Its probably some warehouse and the workers just forgot to turn the lights off.

Quickly shrugging off the creeping suspicion, I pull my phone out from my waistband. It has water damage and won’t turn on. Just wonderful! No amount of rice is going to save this phone. Oh well, I needed a new one anyways. I put my phone in my boot cuff since my clothes were sticking to me like a second skin.

Since I don’t know what time it is and the rain isn’t letting off anytime soon I think I’ll explore a little. My inner child must be showing but I love adventures so this could be kind of fun. (Friends name) and I use to always go out exploring in the country at night back home. We even had our own fun secret base in the woods we would camp out in. If we ever just wanted to disappear from the world, that was our place.

I mean what am I going to find in the warehouse? A few rats, a zombie, the infamous Joker? I chuckle to myself as I start walking along the side of the wall near the boxes. As I go farther in I hear voices coming from up ahead. I stop and debate about going any further.

I mean how many other idiots are outside in this weather looking for a lost cat? I’m pretty sure its just me.

Getting down low, I crawl behind some of the boxes on the side. I keep crawling on my hands and knees until the voices start getting louder. My gut twists giving off the feeling I probably should have stayed outside or at least by the door. Curiosity killed the cat. Ironic really. Finding a little peephole between the crates I take a peek.

I can’t tell if the shiver that just went down my spine was due to the fact that I look and feel like a drowned rat or to the sight before me. There in all his glory was the clown prince of crime, the Joker.

Well at least it wasn’t a zombie.

I remember the news lady talking about him. Crap. I should have paid extra attention to what she was saying instead of his dang hair! He was wearing a golden looking jacket with a black shirt underneath that was unbuttoned most of the way revealing all his tattoos underneath. He was actually pretty handsome with his chiseled chest and amazingly sculpted face. His pale white face and prominent red lips. They looked so full and kissable.

Wait! What am I saying? He’s a killer. He would kill me if he knew I was here!

He was straddling some man in a chair sliding a knife gently down his cheek bone. The man looked terrified and about ready to pass out. The Joker had a good handful of goons against the wall dressed up in fancy black suits with weird masks on. One had a fake batman mask, another an eyeball and it just gets weirder from there. I mean that’s something I wouldn’t wear if I was watching someone get tortured but yet again I’m not a goon. Leave it to me to walk into the wrong situation! I can feel the blood pumping in my ears.

I should contact the police! But how can I with a broken phone?!

“Blah, Blah, Blah. I didn’t ask for your excuses Mr. Jones. I want to know why you thought you could lie to me!” The Joker growled out. He took his knife and slowly but leisurely dragged the knife down the guys cheek leaving a long deep cut. The guy, err I mean Jones, starting screaming as blood oozed out. It was an agonizing scream that gave me goosebumps. As if on que the Joker laughed at his screams of agony. Now this laugh wasn’t just any laugh. I can see why they call him the king of laughter. He had a very obnoxious and loud laugh that sent tingles going through me. He abruptly stops his cackling. Sitting up straight the Jokers eyes lazily traveled across the room, lingering extra-long on the boxes I was hiding behind, until they landed on his goons.

Did he just look at me?!

“See this here boys! I think Mr. Jones is uncomfortable.” The Joker smiles while he breaks Jones personal bubble to run his hands along his face letting small Ha Ha’s escape his mouth. ��Why don’t I fix that? I don’t want you getting bored now do I?” His face has this mock serious look.

I had the strange feeling there was a different meaning behind his words. Like he really didn’t care for Mr. Jones well-being.

“I know! Let’s play a game!” The Joker purrs out leaning even closer to Jones face. “Every time you irritate me or lie, I leave a cut…” The Joker took his finger and stroked the guys cut before slowly digging his finger into it “Like this one here!” Jones struggled and whimpered under the Jokers touch.

“I don’t know anything, I swear! Mister J you got to believe me! I would never betray you!” This Jones guy was desperate.

I have to admit to myself Jones was kind of lucky to have the Jokers face so close. To feel his breathe on his face. There was something about the Joker that drew me to him. I really wanted to see his handsome features up close.

Shit! Am I seriously that guy deprived?

A long agonized scream brings me out of my thoughts. I look back and see that Jones already has a decent cut on his arm, thigh, chest and now one going from his ear to his lip. I feel bile rise in the back of my throat. One thing I’m not used to is seeing a lot of human blood. Before I could tear my gaze away, the Joker was happily sawing away at Jones lower right ear lobe with his small gold knife. This earned him even more screaming. This must be music to his ears judging by the way he happily wiggled his body while he continued his work.

I really shouldn’t be here! I need to get out of here before I’m next. I’m pretty sure he isn’t a fan of eavesdroppers let alone witnesses.

I cast one last look at the Joker before I turn around to start crawling back. That is until I hear a very familiar sound reach my ears freezing me in my tracks. The unmistakable sound of Jasper’s meow was coming from Joker’s direction.

A/N: Just so people know I posted this on my quotev account first so if you have read this before... I never stole it because that’s still me :)
