i am beautiful and i will kill all of you

[queryxecho]

"From you? Pfft, course not." Echo laughed. "Kiss and tell was a bit of a tease. With all respect, beautiful, you may be carved like a statue but I'm pretty sure we're not your type-" take it from the professional ex-dominatrixes, they could usually clock the vibe, "and information trickles down to the undergrounds the bloody hands of your don't grace." Social hierarchies and all that. Why bother trying to cozy up to the heads of states so to speak when the city's workers and lackeys had such loose lips? "Besides, you're too smart for that to work, luv. We wouldn't insult you like that."

Query shrugged, eyeing him a bit intrigued. Being threatened isn't new, their own boss knew that most of all. "What keeps you from ending Cobblepot, Dent or everyone else? It's not like you'd be incapable of it. We all know that. The city is full of annoyances. But once all the pieces are dead, who's left to play with?" That was Joker's problem. All blood and no thought. Who wanted to be king of an empty sandbox?

"All we came here for is the heads up," Echo digressed. "It's better to avoid being on someone's shitlist while we play than have them accidentally play an unintended role for us. Makes Eddie all upset anyway. Having to clean up and reset shit is a pain. Scraping people off metal is tedious." Though sometimes useful. Some things were easier to test than others.

"Should only be about three days," Query assured. "Unless it all goes to shit." She put her hands up in a 'who knows' shrug. "It's Gotham. For all I know, halfway through a genie pops out or something." And it wouldn't even be the most outlandish thing to happen.

· 𓂃 ࣪˖🔪 ˖ ࣪𓂂 . Them opposing the Joker for being temperamental and crazy is almost laughable considering Roman fell under those categories as well. Especially the temperamental part -- which usually triggered the crazy to come out.

"So you're here to get information on me to use against me? Not really smart to just outright say that. What's stopping me from just offing you two now and getting you out of my business? And more importantly to just get rid of the neuroscience of you two." Existing he means of course. Oh he just loves running that mouth of his. He's smile to suggest it's all in jest, but it hardly is.

A brow raises though when they mention dropping something off and he just stares before taking what's offered to him. And he looks over marked areas. "Appreciated." That much is genuine. "And if I may inquire: how long are these things gonna to be up for?" He wont ask what they're for because he doesn't really care to know, as long as it didn't effect him.

"It's just not something that happens often, love. I didn't even think you could swear." Until about five seconds ago anyway. She won't say it just yet in present company, but she suspects that's not a real body. Too much experience seeing them actually smoosh. Walking over curiously, her mouth quirked up in a smile at the confirmation.

"If I had to guess, someone is conducting g-force crash tests. He's a dummy. Albeit with blood pouches that break at certain g-force limits. Though, whoever dropped him should have taped off the sidewalk. If that hit you, you'd be the new dummy."

"This isn't the most effective way of disposing of evidence," Echo lamented. "But it is the most visually satisfying."

"I think this is your trap equivalent, Deb. This isn't emotionally cathartic like designing traps are, but I could see how it might be for you."

"You're gonna get caught. No matter how good you think you are!

I know you're smart enough to know that!"

"It can help a little," Dee admitted, "Depends. For how bad I think you'll be, you'll need more than that."

"It seemed a gentler no than straight water," Nina laughed, coming over to join the two with a glass of her own. "Of which you should have if you're gonna keep sippin'. It'll ease the hangover. But the bottle's mine in the back of the fridge. I used to have cravings for it when I was..." she trailed off but shrugged, quickly repulling her face back into a smile. "When I was a teen I loved the stuff. It's nice to have once in awhile."

"So how did you end up here?" Dee raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Celebratory drinking or misery?"

@queryxecho [X]

Edward took a sip of the sparkling beverage and replied “Maybe I will…maybe I won’t. Doesn’t coffee fix hangovers? I’ll just drink more of that in the morning…I do that already.”

He then looked at Nina and asked her, “Sparklin’ cider? Really Nina? Actually…this doesn’t taste too bad.” Edward then took another sip and looked at his glass.

“I didn’t think we even had this…where did ya even get this from? Unless I had a bottle of that in the fridge but don’t remember…”

[queryxecho]

Edward lifts up his glass, smiling and showing obvious signs of being intoxicated. "NINAAAAAA....DEEEE....Eddie wants another drink!" @question-marked (I had this in my mind and I needed to share it with you haha)

@question-marked just made me snort choke on my tea

You know, it's almost endearing. If not a little more than funny. Though through pursed lips, Dee was doing her best to not let the laughter out.

"Okay, boss." Nina chuckled, taking his glass and moving to fill it with something sparkling, and non-alcoholic. No more good stuff for you tonight, boss.

Dee settled herself comfortably next to the tipsy Eddie, leaning her head over affectionately while Nina served up his next 'round.' "You're gonna hate this in the morning..."

"Party pooper," Query pouted. "Joker's not fun, he's temperamental and crazy. There's a difference." Despite what the gallery may have you believe.

"Everything's our business eventually," Echo shrugged. "Information is the other half of the currency world in Gotham. Not all of us have mobster money." Though wouldn't that be nice. Still, information dealings had their own kind of wealth and power. That kind of habit had transferred over from their previous job.

Query got up and pulled a folded up map from her jacket pocket.

"Well if you don't wanna kiss and tell, we're supposed to drop this off to you." She offered out the colorful thing. Not that the city was hard to recognize. There's just a few areas outlined in red sharpie, with barely legible blue cursive labeling vague trap names. No more detailed than that. "A courtesy heads up to maybe stay out of the red. Nothing's in your territory anyway, but just so you or your boys don't have any... accidents next week. Unless of course there's someone you'd like to fire and maim. Then feel free to send them to any of the red outlined areas! I love a pre-test."

"I know, Eddie." Nina's voice coming like a reassurance as she leaned her head over on his shoulder. It's been a day. Challenges was putting it lightly. "You've got this. We just need a break today. You need to eat something. I think Dee's ordering pizza. Come help me clear some spots for us, kay? It'll help your brain."

Diedre is unusually quiet. Even in the presence of her favorite older blonde. The usually bubbly apartment has a weird air. Too quiet, too calm. Nothing like them. She just shakes her head and pulls her GCPD cap lower over her face. Much to Nina's clear irritation.

Not one to be rude anytime Mary showed up, bad moods or otherwise, Nina moved to get Mary some of the coffee she had made, coming back with a lowered voice along with the mug.

"Bolton. We had a rough go this time." Not that lockup stints were ever pleasant. Nina, added in a whisper, "She won't lemme look under her clothes. I dunno what else is busted."

"New to the city, love?" Query laughed, nearly inaudible in the midst of the noise. Sirens clashing over general yelling and occasional gunfire. Typical saturday night really, though they'd rather had been at the Iceberg than caught in the middle of a territory war.

"You don't look like a Gothamite," Echo stated. Not an accusation, just factual. "Almost, whole broody angsty teen is a good start. But your general stance of bewilderment suggests this isn't normal to you." Which wasn't Gothamite at all. Echo gently pulled their new teen over behind a car, patting his shoulder to gesture that he should crouch. "Hold still, sugar. Moving in times like this is how you become the new casualty on the news."

Q/E singing // Still Accepting! @dementedspeedster

Leave Luanne - 35 MM

This is clearly what happens when they let beloved speedsters bring by alcohol and treats. Bad ideas and little to no walls up. One of these days maybe they'll admit how scary that is. Being seen. Next thing you know, Nina's dragged her guitar from under her bed and Thad's daring her to play something. Dee mutters something about Luanne, and props herself up to be in half a state to sing with her partner.

No, you won't Leave, Luanne or he'll give you what for. You got heart where you shoulda had brains. And so loyal Luanne remains. Someone's howling, screams like sighing with battered breath. Grating, growling, never dying. In a fate worse than death.

She's always liked how that gets turned on its head. The bridge about screaming but never dying applies to Luanne at first, only for it to come back with vengeance on the husband that murdered her.

Luanne, she cries her miserable wail. So the bastards will never sleep again. No—no reprieve, Luanne. She brings their souls down to hell. A caution to the cruelest of men
