[He appears on the screen, holding a squirmy mongoose. That terrible jester marionette of his? Still sitting on the back of his couch. He's hesitant because he knows what's been going on, and there's some potentially terrible things that he could be admitting about himself right now. So he's going to try really hard not to!] Harper! This is actually your pet. I'm duty bound to return it to you... I have no idea what it's name is.

[And a pause. Okay! Let's go with-] I know how to play the spoons!

[Really?

That's it?

He sighs in relief.] I was worried for a moment that I was going to say something considerably worse! [He ignores the mongoose considering a voyage down his pullover.] Such as the fact I know I'm the most problematic, repugnant, and unpleasant of the lot of me and I'd been better off not even having gone through this regeneration.

[Wait.] Ignore that bit. [He makes a pissy huff and cuts the feed.]

[ He looks very, very uncomfortable about this. All sharp edges trying desperately to hide themselves. ]

He- died. Then he was revived and-

[ Very, very quietly: ]

It was my fault.

I refuse to adhere to the idea that something is anyone's fault unless the intent to do harm was there. I sincerely doubt, even from what little I know, that this was the case.

But Jason... probably wouldn't agree with these sentiments, would he?

No. [ Neither will I. ]

It'll be best if Tim keeps away from him as much as possible. [ Pause. ] Jason carries a grudge.

Understandable. He had an incident with the Joker, after the Joker attacked his paramour. That was one matter, but I'm well aware Tim's capable of losing his temper.

[ ... Well that's new to him. ]

What happened?

He attacked him in his cell, broke his arm. I had to choose his punishment. The Joker vanished off the Barge even before Tim was through with his time in Zero. It was an altogether miserable situation.

... Hh. They both got off easy. [ For their standards, anyway. ]

Do inmates come back often after they've vanished?

They do occasionally. Not often. The Joker had been here once before, but the one I knew might have been from a different timeline as he didn't ever recall the previous events.

I suppose there's no way to stop it from happening.
championoftime: 7.2 - mulling[personal profile] championoftime on March 13th, 2011 08:54 am (UTC)
[Private]
No. But if he did, at least the one that remembered me, I'd request to take responsibility for him again.

He was reasonably frightened of me. At least I kept him from too many major incidents.

... Impressive. How did you manage that?

He knew that I was very powerfully psychic.
[identity profile] fivestepsahead.livejournal.com on March 13th, 2011 09:15 am (UTC)
[Private]
I see. [ And he understands immediately why. Psychics mess with the Joker's madness, after all. ]

If he returns, that will be the best. He has- hurt many people.

I would also endeavour to keep him from Tim and the rest of your family. ...I know all to well what it is to have family members at risk. My own elder brother is here as an inmate. ...I'm still not certain why. He tends to speak in veiled language.

[ ... You just agreed to something he doesn't know how to vocalize, and make it such that he doesn't owe you. He likes you quite a bit more now. ]

I... appreciate that.

What is his name? [ Only fair to return the favour. ]
championoftime: 7.2 - do tell?[personal profile] championoftime on March 13th, 2011 09:33 am (UTC)

Irving Braxiatel.

...Don't let his appearance fool you. He's the elder one.
